Rocket - dildo sex toy by Tantus - review by Ryuson

The Rocket is a silicone, multicolored dildo by Tantus. Dildos, unlike vibrators, do not have a motor in them, so they don't have any fancy functions. This dildo also doesn't have a place in the bottom for you to insert a bullet, so you can't make it into a vibrator.

My favorite way to use this toy is for vaginal insertion. While it doesn't directly have a g-spot tip, the ridge on the front does make it good for mild g-spot stimulation. The smooth texture makes it great for thrusting.

This toy would also be great for anal insertion, though it's not for the anal newbie. While this isn't the ideal shape for prostate stimulation, it could be fairly effective. The large, flared base makes this 100% anal safe, though it's not a good design to use as an anal plug.

If you want a toy to use externally this is probably not the best bet. It has no motor, so it's about as effective as your fingers externally. It's also not a good firmness to use as a massage tool.

This would be an alright toy to introduce into a relationship, but it may not be the best. It's a bit phallic shaped, but it's also very vibrantly colored. It would be okay for double penetration, but because it has no motor it's not good to use externally during sex.

The Rocket won't be the best first toy for some people, but others might really like it. If you're an anal beginner this wouldn't be too great, but if you're used to penetration this is a very interesting design, great material, and nice shape.

This toy 100% passes Ryu's dorm seal of approval. It's motorless, so it's silent, and it is easy to care for. It's a bit larger than some, and the color makes it stand out, but it's still small enough to stash in a drawer.

The Rocket is made from 100% silicone. Silicone is rated a 10 out of 10 on the Eden Safety Scale, and it's both nonporous and body safe. This means that bacteria can't live inside of the material and that it doesn't contain any toxic chemicals.

One thing that keeps people going back to Tantus again and again is their special silicone. It's exactly medium in firmness. It won't bruise you or cause discomfort, but it also is firm enough to stimulate g-spots and prostates.

What sets this toy apart from the rest is the coloring of the silicone. This is Tantus's second foray into multicolored toys (the first being the Splish/Splash) and they really went all out. The tip of the toy is green, the shaft is orange, and the base and bottom of the shaft is pink. This color scheme isn't entirely feminine, and reminds me of icecream.

This toy has no texture at all to it. It's entirely smooth, which means it's very easy to insert. At the same time it does have a bit of drag, so some lube might be needed to insert it comfortably. Lube will for sure be needed if you plan on using this toy for anal play.

This toy is moderately flexible, but is firmer than a lot of Tantus toys. It's firm enough that it can certainly hit my g-spot, and the firmness of the ridge makes it easy to tell the change in girth. It's still flexible enough to bend the tip to the base.

Because of the soft material, this toy feels a bit thinner than it actually is. The shaft of this toy feels about half an inch thinner than it really is, but the ridge isn't so soft that it feels diminished. You can certainly tell what side the toy the ridge is on when you thrust with it.

In total, silicone is a great material for all users. It can be disinfected, and if you disinfect it this toy can be used in different orifices and by different people. It is a bit firmer than some Tantus toys, but it's still much softer than glass, metal, or silicone toys with a firm backbone.

The Rocket is designed very nicely, and is not too realistic. It doesn't look very much like its namesake, and it's not as whimsical as the other g-spot toy in this line. I really do like the colors and shape, though, which is why I just had to have this toy.

This toy is 6.5 inches in length, with 5.5 of those being insertable. The base is fairly thick, but is thin enough that it doesn't feel bulky. This toy is also about 5 inches around at the widest point. Because of these measurements, this toy is as long as the average penis, but is a bit wider.

When it comes to shape, this toy is not as unique as a lot of the Tantus products. It's pretty much a straight shaft with a slight 'head' at the tip. The 'head' is about an inch and a half long, and the corona of the head is the widest point. The base of the shaft is a bit thinner than the rest of the toy, but not by much.

The base of the toy is pink, and is fairly thin. It has a Tantus logo printed on the bottom, but that's the only texture or ridge on the entire toy.

While this isn't obvious that this is a sex toy, the bright colors will certainly have people asking about it. If you don't want people to ask embarrassing questions it's best to stash this toy away when you have company over. It's small enough to fit into a suitcase, but it may be too large to be tossed into a purse or small bag.

In total, this toy has a really basic, effective design. The ridge is firm enough and prominent enough to cause unexpectedly intense stimulation, but the smooth shaft and straight shape keep it from being too intense and uncomfortable.

Here's the Rocket VS a pen:

And a detail shot:

While this isn't the most versatile toy on the market, it does have quite a few possible uses. The lack of motor is what keeps this from being good at external stimulation, but it also is what allows for dildos to have all types of shapes and firmnesses.

My favorite use for this toy is basic insertion. You can use this vaginally, and because of the large, flared base this toy is totally anal safe. It doesn't have a very intense g-spot or prostate curve, but the ridge still has you covered in that area. The base is also easy to hold on to, and the thin shaft makes it great to thrust with.

You also can use this toy in a harness. The thick, round base would make it easy to slip into your harness and go. While it's not super realistic, the soft material would be great to people who are planning on 'topping' someone used to penetration.

This toy also has a suction cup base, but it really only works on very flat surfaces. I have found that sticking it on a flat tile or the mirror works best, but I can't get it to work on any furniture I have. If you have smooth tiles in your shower that are fairly big it should work fine.

Even though this toy is anal safe, it's not a good plug at all. The thick girth, long length, and round base make this a bad choice anyways, but not having a 'neck' to it would just make it a nightmare to keep in, especially out and about.

In total, this toy has its uses. If you don't mind it not having a motor this toy is great, but I know some people really do appreciate motorized toys more than dildos. It's entirely up to you, but I find that dildos are often better than vibrators.

This toy is pretty easy to store and care for. It's a lint magnet, so it's a good idea to wash the Rocket both before and after each use. I wash mine with an antibacterial toy cleaner, but soap and water or a toy wipe also work well. There aren't any ridges or seams that are hard to clean, so you just can rinse it and go.

You can also disinfect this toy. It's entirely silicone, so you can always boil it for a few minutes, but you also can just wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution for an easier fix. This should be done each time you switch users or orifices.

I keep this in a cool, dark place with the rest of my toys. You should not store this toy in contact with other silicone toys, as they can potentially react with eachother. Similarly, you should not use silicone based lube with the Rocket.

This toy comes in typical Tantus packaging. It's entirely made of thin, clear plastic, but I like to think that Tantus passes on the savings to the customer. If you have any other Tantus packaging this is identical.

The front of the box has a clear area where you can see the toy and. It also has a minimal amount of information about the toy, the name of the brand, and why it's awesome. It actually doesn't have the name of the toy on the front of the box.

The back of the box has a blurb about the company, which is based in the US, and why it's better than the other companies out there. It's all pretty basic information, but I don't find that I need much else. There are care instructions on the side of the box, which implies that this toy should be able to last a lifetime.

Tantus boxes are not a good option for storing their toys. The boxes are hard to open, noisy, and the box is much larger than the toy itself. It also doesn't look super fancy, but it would still be fine to wrap up and give as a gift.

Here's the front:


And the back:

There were two toys that impressed me in the new Space Toys line, and it was the Rocket and the Comet. They are both toys that looked nice for g-spot stimulation, so like any good Tantus fan I got them both the day they came into stock.

The Comet is actually larger than the Rocket, which surprised me. The Comet is a more g-spot oriented toy, while this toy is for more general thrusting. They're both anal safe, colorful, and silicone, but at the moment I find myself reaching for the Comet more often than the Rocket. None the less, I still am very glad that I have both of them.

The reason that I tend to reach for the Comet more than the Rocket is that for the Rocket I have to 'warm up my boosters' to really enjoy it, while I can go straight into 'liftoff' with the Comet. I find the girth right at the tip of this toy to be pretty intense, especially when combined with the ridge, but I am a total girth wimp.

Once I get going I really do like the Rocket. It's an entirely different ball game than the Comet, because that one is comfortable while this one is pretty filling. I guess that it really depends on the mood that I'm in which I use, but I usually want something I don't have to warm up to use.

In conclusion, there is worth to having both of these, but if I could only pick one I'd get the Comet. No matter, they are both totally 5 star toys with no real flaws to speak of, other than not being good to use as anal plugs. I would highly recommend both toys.
