Tantra G Review

10/22/2013

0 Comments

 
I got the opportunity to work with Blush Novelties, I contacted them and was welcomed aboard to review for them. I was originally asked to review some items from their new Splash line which is made of TPR material. I had to decline that offer since I really don't use anything aside from Silicone, Metal, Glass or Plastic toys. I was lucky and happy to hear that Blush has several items made of silicone as well. I was sent out 2 items of silicone and one of the items from the Splash collection to try out if I wanted to. The representative was very nice and understanding in my toy material of choice. Today I will be reviewing the Tantra G.


Intro/Design
The Tantra G is designed for G-Spot play and stimulation, it comes in two colors Berry and Mint. The Tantra G has a bulbous head that makes for a pretty easy insertion. The head of the toy is the BIGGEST part of it measure in at around 1.25 inches in diameter at the biggest part. The shaft itself I would say is about an inch in diameter so it isn't a girthy toy for those who like a full feeling. This however was the perfect size for me. Tantra G is geared more towards the female bodied since it isn't anal safe since there is no flared base. You can use the Tantra G for vaginal play, G-Spotting, teasing of the clit, nipples or the outside of the anus. For the male bodied out there you could get some enjoyment from teasing the testicle, shaft and head of the penis as well as nipples or the outer part of the anus. I would say beginners would get more use out of this item over someone who is experienced unless they enjoy their toys on the smaller side. Overall length of the Tantra G  is 6.5 inches long with 5 inches of that being insertable. Being on the petite size you could easily travel with this but if you are worried it will be found I would pass up on traveling with it. 

Some of the key features of the Tantra G is its waterproof, made out of silicone and has 10 different settings. 5 of those settings are steady vibrations and 5 different patterns. The control pad isn't confusing as there is only ONE button to push. 

What is it Made of? 
Here is where we will talk about what the Tantra G is made of, for the most part it is made out of silicone with very few parts being made of plastic. Both of the materials are nonporous, hypoallergenic, latex and phathlates free. There was no scent upon opening the packaging which is a plus since silicone isn't suppose to have a scent to it. Being a nonporous material means that your bodily fluids won't get trapped in the material. Silicone can be sterilized an I will discuss how to do that later in my review. The insertable part and a few small parts on the battery cap are silicone while the battery cap is made of plastic for the most part. If you are going to be sharing your toys make sure to sterilize them first since silicone can be sterilized. There is no type of noticeable texture to the toy at all which could be a letdown for some. I did find a noticeable seam that runs down the middle of the toy, I am able to feel it with my fingers but didn't really feel it while the toy was in use. Silicone is known to carry a drag in the material meaning it doesn't glide over the surface of the body very smoothly with out catching, you can easily fix this by using a water based lubricant. The silicone on this particular item has no flexibility to it as well as no give.

Controls & Functions
The controls of the Tantra G are pretty simple considering there is only ONE button to work all the functions within the toy. You will find 5 vibration settings and 5 pattern settings; you can scroll through them with just a push of the button on the battery cap. I found the controls to be easy to use an the settings couldn't be accidentally changed during use like I have had with some other toys. To power on the Tantra G you would simply push the power button it will power on and you are free to scroll through the settings. To power off your Tantra G you would simply hold the button down for approximately 3 seconds. Please note if you get interrupted its easy to turn off without having to go through all the patterns to power off, however you will have to cycle through to get back to your setting as there isn't a memory setting on this item. For me the vibrations were buzzy where as I like my vibrations rumbley. The first 5 steady vibration settings almost all felt the same to me. On a scale of 1-5 Vrooms 5 being the highest vibration and 1 being the lowest I would say the Tantra G vibrations fall between a 1 and 2 on the Vroom scale. 
The highest vibration setting I would say is 2 Vrooms which most of the time anything under 3-4 Vrooms just don't do it for me. Below I will do my best to explain the patterns of the toy. 
Pattern #1:is escalation starts at the lowest vibration setting and goes to the highest so this one would rank 1-2 Vrooms
Pattern #2:is a different type of escalation which is low to medium then to high an it has a small pause between moving up in power. Ranks 1-2 Vrooms
Pattern #3:Pulse, Pulse Steady Vibration 
1-2 Vrooms
Pattern #4:Fast Pulsation 
1 Vroom
Pattern #5:Fast low pulsation into High fast pulsation. 
Ranges from 1-2 Vrooms

Tantra G is powered by 2AAA batteries which are not included with the toy so make sure you have some on hand or grab some when ordering if the shop you are ordering from offers batteries. 

Tantra G has a waterproof ring around the battery opening in order for her to remain waterproof this rubber ring MUST be present and pushed all the way down. Make sure your cap is on tight and ring is in place before placing in the water. 


Packaging
The packaging for the Tantra G is pretty simple for the most part. It comes in a sturdy cardboard box that has a peek-a-boo hole in the front that shows of the head for G-Spotting. You can open the flap to view the whole vibrator. Once you open the box you will find that Tantra is resting in her little plastic cradle which has two pieces to it. On all sides of the box there is information you will find useful and important. You will find the Blush Novelties 30 day warranty information, battery information, how to clean it, material it is made of and that it has multiple settings.The box is a great shape for wrapping up and gifting but it isn't very discreet so be careful if gifting in front of others unless you know the receiving party won't mind others knowing what they are getting. You could easily use this package for storage as I am doing but note that the cardboard will wear out eventually an need replacing with something else for storage purposes. 

Care & Storage
I have to say that Tantra G is pretty easy to care for and pretty easy to store as well. Please make sure you clean your toys before and after each use to avoid icky things growing on them. 
You can use the following methods to clean up your Tantra
1.)Hot water and a mild soap rinsing thoroughly before drying an storing
2.)Antibacterial toy spray you can get these from online shops, local shops and home parties simply spray down your toy let set for a few minutes before wiping clean. 
3.)Toy Wipes or Baby Wipes this method however doesn't sterilize your toys just wipes off the fluids which is fine if you don't plan to share your toys.
4.)10% bleach solution you can wipe or soak your Tantra in a 10% bleach solution for 5-10 minutes then rinse thoroughly before storing this method is the ONLY way to fully sterilized your Tantra for sharing. 
Please note since Tantra G has a motor inside you do NOT want to toss her in the dishwasher or in a boiling pot of water. The plastic on her might not be able to handle the heat and it can damage the motors on the inside due to high temperatures. 

When Cleaning take special care to wipe around the battery cap opening since there is a small area wear bodily fluids can get trapped thus being missed during cleaning.

You can either store Tantra in the box she came in, a toy pouch or a Ziploc bag. Make sure it isn't touching other toys unless you know they are 100% pure silicone. Most toys react when they touch causing horrible disasters to your wonderful toys. 

When using a lubrication it is recommended to use a water based lubricant with silicone toys. If you are one who likes using silicone, hybrid or oil based lubricants I recommend spot testing on a part of the toy that isn't being inserted into the body to make sure there will not be a reaction with the material. 


Overall Thoughts
My overall thoughts on the Tantra G are well I am not pleased with it since it is lacking in the power department for me. I love that it is made out of silicone and can be easily cared for. The length is great as well if you aren't looking for deep penetration. Would I recommend the Tantra G yes and no, I would recommend it to beginners who are unsure of what type of vibrations they are going to need or want. On the no side of things I would recommend it to the power queens or someone who needs their vibrations to rumble instead of being buzzy. 

For the price though from what I seen by looking on sextoys.com, Eden and Amazon the price is pretty reasonable an I have seen it range from around $23 up to around $40ish depending on where you were to order from. So for that price especially in the $23 range it would be a great try for a beginner to toys or a beginner to try to find a G-Spot vibrator only if they want buzzy vibrations.

Overall I give this a 3 out of 5 with 5 being the highest. I wanted to like this little toy but I just couldn't. Thank you to Blush Novelties for sending out the Tantra G free of charge in exchange for an HONEST & UNBIASED review.
