Review: Rascal by Tantus

Posted by Sarahbear on February 28, 2010

The Tantus Rascal is a thick, ribbed, solid dildo. It’s perfect for women who love that ‘full’ feeling and lots of texture.

It’s made of 100% silicone, which is non-porous, phthalate free, hypo-allergenic, odorless, and tasteless. This particular silicone is slick, so if you enjoy the drag you get from matte silicone you may not like the Rascal. It’s very firm and solid. It doesn’t bend and it has very little give. The head is rounded, tapering quickly into the widest point. It’s got ten ribs that you can really feel stimulating the sensitive nerves in the entrance of your vagina. It’s only 5 1/2″ long (5 of them being insertable). This may seem short to some, but it more than makes up for that with it’s 5 1/2″ circumference. With all that thickness and texture you may find yourself needing to warm up with a smaller toy.

It has a flared base so it’s safe for anal play, if you’re brave enough for that much girth. It’s also o-ring harness compatible, which is my favorite way for my husband to use it. It comes with a silver, push-button bullet that runs on 3 watch batteries. The bullet fits into a small hole in the base of the toy and creates a nice, deep vibration that can be felt throughout the toy. If you’ve got a better bullet you may be able to fit it into the hole and use it instead. Unfortunately the bullet that came with the dildo got stuck inside the base, even with a bit of lube on it. I tried getting it out with pliers and it just scratched the silver finish off part of it. It’s fine because I can still change the batteries when necessary.

Tantus silicone is sturdy and safe to use. For basic cleaning you can just wash it with mild soap and water or a commercial toy cleaner. For sharing (between holes and/or people) you’ll want to either boil it, soak it in a 10% bleach solution or run it through the dishwasher (top rack. no soap.) It’s a bit of a lint magnet so you’ll probably find yourself rinsing it off before each use. Especially if you have pets.

I really love this dildo, so much that I even bought the Rascal 02. If you are a lover of girth, texture and firmness you absolutely need this toy. Go get yourself one from Eden Fantasys!
