Flex - double penetration vibrator by Tantus - review by Coralbell

Flex is a double penetration dildo by Tantus. It is designed for simultaneous vaginal and anal penetration, and to stimulate the same group of muscles from both sides. Flex has the distinction of being the only silicone double penetration toy carried on Eden, and as far as I know, the only one that exists. Flex makes it easy to stimulate multiple areas; it's much easier to thrust with one toy than two, and if you'd like to add clitoral stimulation as well, you'll now have a free hand. You could probably manage to use just the main shaft or just the anal probe, but that would be awkward and you'd be much better off buying separate toys for the times you only want one or the other. Flex comes with a removable bullet, so you can enjoy it with or without vibrations.

Flex is made from Tantus' 100% ultra-premium platinum silicone. It's non-porous, non-toxic, and phthalate free, with no taste or smell.

The silicone is quite firm. It has a smooth, slightly shiny surface that creates a lot of drag before lube is applied, but becomes very slippery after.

The main shaft has little to no give, and can only be slightly bent. It is totally smooth, with no seams.

True to the name, the anal probe does flex, since it is much thinner. It can be bent completely in half, so it should bend to fit any body, but it is still firm enough that it isn't floppy and can support it's own weight. The anal probe has a beaded texture, which adds stimulation while thrusting.

Flex is available in 2 shades of purple. I have Midnight Purple, which is a shimmery plum colour, with swirls of darker purple.

The vaginal portion has a semi-realistic design with a phallic shape and a pronounced head, but it doesn't actually look like a penis since there is no detailing (and because it's purple!) The whole toy is 7 1/2" long, but there are 5 1/4" of insertable length before the anal probe prevents going any farther. The shaft is 4 1/2" in circumference, while the head is slightly larger at 4 3/4". It is a pretty average size, and should work well for the majority of users. The larger head could provide some g-spot stimulation to those with easily stimulated g-spots.

The anal probe is a bit on the small side, with 4 1/4" insertable inches and a 2 1/4" circumference, which is about as thick as my thumb. Unlike a lot of beaded anal toys, the circumference stays the same throughout, and the probe doesn't get thicker towards the bottom. The beads are slightly irregular in shape and size, but on average they are about 3/4" long. This would be a good size for those who are new to anal play, or who just prefer to use smaller toys. More advanced users will be able to easily slip this in with no warm up. Since it will be used along with the more filling vaginal portion, it may not feel as small as it usually would. The probe is made up of 6 beads, but only 5 can be inserted. The anal probe naturally lies about 1/2" away from the shaft, but since this portion is so flexible it can be angled to suit anyone's anatomy.

Flex has a wide base, which makes a good handhold, and allows it to be used in a harness (though I can't speak to how well it performs that way.) There is a standard sized bullet hole in the bottom, and unlike any of my other dildos, this one has ridges inside to really lock the bullet into place. Flex does not come with a suction cup, but you can always add this one if you want to use it that way.

Flex can be easily washed with antibacterial soap and water. You can sterilize your toy by boiling it for 3 minutes or bleaching it in a 10% bleach solution. It can also be run through the dishwasher on the top rack. The silicone tends to pick up lint, so let it air dry or dry it with a lint free cloth before storing.

Silicone lubes can bond to silicone toys, causing damage. However, according to the Tantus website, since they use platinum grade silicone, there are rarely problems with any lubricant. It is still recommended that you perform a patch test on the bottom of the base, just in case.

Silicone toys can be stored together, along with toys made from plastic, metal or glass, but other soft materials like jelly and TPR should be stored separately.

Flex comes in a plastic box that doesn't have any wording specific to the toy itself, and is probably used to package a number of their dildos. Inside is a molded plastic tray that holds Flex and it's bullet. The plastic is pretty flimsy, and my box started breaking just from opening it, so this won't work for storage and should be recycled. Although there is no specific information on Flex, the package does have some general information on the company and silicone. Care and cleaning instructions are not included on the packaging, but the buyer is directed to the Tantus website for that information. The packaging is not discreet since you can see the toy inside, and even after it's removed the front of the box announces that Tantus makes "THE WORLD'S BEST SOFT TOYS FOR ADULTS."
