Review: Tantus Vamp

I really don’t like Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. I tried reading the first book when I was at home during break, because I had nothing else to do and my little sister had a copy, but I got bored halfway through. I watched the first two movies, but it was only because my friends, and my sister’s fiance, roped me into it. I promptly decided that the only way I could really enjoy the movies would be to make them into a drinking game. I think there are plenty of vampires out there who are more badass than Edward Cullen. However, when I first heard about the Tantus Vamp, and read its description that not-so-subtly harkened to the Twilight series, my curiosity was piqued.

So what does the Vamp have in common with Edward Cullen? The Vamp may not be super-strong, watch you while you sleep, protect you from baddies, or want to suck your blood, but it does sparkle under light. And if you toss it in the fridge (or under hot water) it retains that temperature.

When I took the Vamp out of its packaging, I wasn’t particularly impressed. It wasn’t curved, the sparkles weren’t all that evident, and it wasn’t a pretty color like most of my dildoes. I guess the sparkles were meant to be more noticeable under light, and at typical room lighting the toy looks more shimmery and pearly, not sparkly per se. I also noticed it was quite girthy, but girth has never been something I particularly cared about. Despite my first impression, though, I very much liked how the Vamp felt when I put it to use. I first used it during a reward masturbation session that Sir granted me, mostly because it seemed like the dildo most similar to Sir’s cock; based on the little information I had, anyway. (i.e. Large + girthy.) And despite my first impression, I grew to like how the Vamp filled me, and how the head pushed against my g-spot almost perfectly. The relatively simple and realistic design of the Vamp also made it easier for me to imagine being fucked by Sir; something I don’t really do with my other dildoes.

The Vamp is perhaps the only “realistic” dildo I own. It does look pretty realistic, from the pronounced head, to the skin-like creases & veins running along the surface. Like most Tantus dildos, it is very firm and glossy. The Vamp retains temperature pretty well, although not at the same speed or intensity as steel or ceramic. It does retain temperature for quite a while, though – after I took the Vamp out of the fridge and used it during a quick, 10-minute wank session, it still felt cold afterwards.

Like all Tantus dildos, the Vamp is made of silicone, which is body-safe and non-porous, and can be shared after being sterilized. To sterilize it, you can wash it with 10% bleach solution, put it in the top shelf of the dishwasher with no soap, or boil it for at least 5 minutes. Also, silicone toys are not compatible with silicone lubes. The Vamp’s base makes the toy useable in a strap-on harness, or for anal play.

I don’t have much to say about the Vamp, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. I may not be a fan of Twilight, but I am a fan of the Vamp.
