Tantus is widely regarded as one of the best dildo companies in existence. Their reputation is built on creating extremely high-quality products. This review focuses on the Tantus Leisure, which, like all Tantus paddles, dildos, and vibes, is made of medical-grade silicone. This material is completely body-safe and non-porous, making it safe to share when cleaned properly between orifices and users. The Leisure comes in a shimmery purple and a pearly white.
The material itself has no taste but may have a faint chemical smell that should wash off right away. The Leisure is completely smooth with no visible seams to annoy sensitive skin.
The Vibrator Bullet
The Leisure is both a dildo and a vibrator, as it comes with a removable bullet. The bullet is packaged separately within the thin plastic box that the toy is shipped in. To use the bullet, you need to unscrew the cap and remove the plastic covering. My one complaint is the bullet’s strength; however, since it seems to be included for free, it’s not a major issue. It’s powered by three watch batteries, and it’s waterproof and very quiet. Unfortunately, it has only one speed and pattern.
Despite its limited functionality, the bullet itself has many uses. It can be used with compatible dildos and cockrings, is small enough to be placed between bodies during intercourse for clitoral stimulation, or can be used on pressure points for massage. For those who want more power, the hole at the base of the Leisure is the perfect width to accommodate a stronger bullet like a We-Vibe Salsa. Just be sure to lubricate the hole with a water-based lube to make it easier to get the bullet back out.
Function and Use
The Leisure is designed for thrusting. Whether used manually or with a harness (which it is compatible with due to its flared base), it’s great for both anal and vaginal penetration. The base provides a bit of suction for vertical solo use, but it won’t stick to a wall for horizontal play.
Personally, I love the size of the Leisure. With a length of 8″ and a circumference of 4″, it’s perfect for beginners to intermediate pegging. Its slightly tapered tip will glide in more easily, but because it is so flexible, you may need to guide it in with a finger, especially if the orifice is very tight.
I believe that lube is always necessary for anal play and simply makes vaginal toy play more fun. Because this toy is silicone, a water-based lube is required. I recommend products like Sliquid Sassy Booty or Intimate Organics Soothe.
Care and Storage
Once you are done using the toy, clean the entire thing with antibacterial soap and water. If you use it without a condom or on more than one partner, you can sterilize it by boiling it or placing it in a soap-free cycle of your dishwasher. A peroxide solution is also effective for sterilization.
Remember that silicone is a magnet for lint, dirt, and hair, so it’s a good idea to rinse it off before each use.
When it comes to storage, there is one vital rule: avoid contact with other silicone products, with the one exception being other Tantus toys. This is because silicone naturally wants to bond with other types of silicone, which can lead to deterioration. Silicone-based lube is also a major no-no and will ruin the texture of the toy.
Verdict
The Tantus Leisure was provided to me for an unbiased review. With its comfortable size, flexible design, and high-quality medical-grade silicone, it is a fantastic choice for those looking for a versatile toy for solo or partner play. It’s a testament to Tantus’s reputation for creating reliable and durable pleasure products.
