Review of the Tantus Flex Vibrator

Flex Vibrator | Tantus

Tantus:

“Designed to play on the same set of muscles from both sides, the Flex is a fun way to experiment with double penetration. The smooth dildo provides fullness in the vagina, while the soft, flexible beads stimulate anally.”

When I saw this go up on Tantus’ site, I had to get it. I love double penetration, but so few toys designed for double penetration are made of decent materials. A lot of them are jelly, TPE/TPR, or rubber. There are a couple glass ones, but this is the first silicone double penetration sex toy that I’ve seen. Silicone is one of the best materials out there. And Tantus? Well, I’ve got an entire shelf in my toy trunk filled with their goodies.


Material

All Tantus toys are hand-made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality 100% Premium Platinum Silicone (If cared for properly, they will last a lifetime). That means they’re hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate-free, latex-free, odorless, tasteless, boilable, bleachable, and completely nontoxic! They are also manufactured 100% green.


Texture / Firmness

The entire toy is very smooth. It’s not quite as glossy as some of Tantus’ other toys, but it has a slight shine to it. The bottom of the base does have a nice glossy appearance to it, though.

The shaft can be bent with just a little effort, but it’s pretty solid. The silicone on the shaft doesn’t yield much to pressure, so don’t count on it being plush.

The probe, since it is thinner, does have some squish to it and is easily flexed. This makes it comfortable during use, but it also makes it a little difficult when trying to insert the probe.


Lube

Use only water-based lube, as silicone lube can damage silicone toys.


Size / Design

Total Length: 7.5"

Insertable Length of Probe: 4.25"

Inseratble Length of Shaft: 5.25"

Circumference of Probe: 2.25"

Circumference of Shaft: 4.75”

Diameter of Probe: .75"

Diameter of Shaft:  1.5"

The shaft is very smooth and straight, aside from a bulge at the tip, which is prominent only on the side of the shaft that faces the g-spot during penetration. It’s just a little longer than the probe.

The probe is basically a string of five bulges. I’m not counting the sixth bulge, because there’s not way I’ll ever be able to get that in me. If you wanted to, you could use the probe as a handle. The grooves between the bulges make nice places to rest fingers. Of course, if you do that, no double penetration from the Flex Vibrator for your partner; they’ll only be experiencing the shaft.

 

Tantus Flex Vibrator BaseInstead of a vibrator cavity with completely smooth walls, Tantus has designed the Flex Vibrator cavity with protrusions to help keep the bullet vibrator in without creating as much of a vacuum as a smooth cavity; making it easier to pull out without the use of pliers. Dab some lube in the cavity. It makes the bullet much easier to insert and remove.

 

The bullet requires one N battery. If it ever conks out completely on you, Tantus sells the exact same bullet. It’s in their closetout section and is under the name 80mm Bullet Vibe.

It’s made of plastic and is a push-button, one-speed bullet. Nothing too fancy, but it might get the job done for some.



Experience

Lining up toys that are attached has never been my strong suit. I tend to fumble trying to get my husband and the Tantus Delta in me while using the Deuce (Review of the Spareparts Deuce Harness). So, of course, I tend to have some issues getting the Flex Vibrator in. After a few testing sessions, though, I’ve gotten more used to lining things up.

The shaft of the Flex Vibrator doesn’t need much lube, but I prefer plenty on the probe. It makes thrusting so much easier, and it just feels better to be slicker. (If you decide you don’t like/want the anal probe, it can easily be bent so that it’s not in the way. You could also turn the Flex Vibrator around and use the anal beads to rub against your clitoris, but I’ve been unsuccessful with that.)

At first, I though the shaft looked pretty skinny, and I didn’t figure I’d be satisfied with it. However, the probe seemed to make up for the girth. I’m pretty petite (5’1” and about 98lbs), so it doesn’t take much to fill me.

Tantus Flex Vibrator with 80mm Bullet Vibe InsertedVibrations: Well, the bullet is pretty powerful by itself, but it’s just not enough to do it for me while it’s in the Flex Vibrator. Inside the Flex Vibrator, I’d rate it about a 2.5/5. Used on its own as a clit vibe, I’d say maybe a 3/5/5. Since the vibrator is removable, you could try replacing it with a more powerful one.

The sound is about a 2/5, which is similar to the vibrate mode of a phone. Of course, when not in the silicone, the vibrations are louder.

Overall: If I take the bullet vibrator out and use it for clitoral stimulation, then the Flex Vibrator takes care of my g-spot and anal stimulation, making for one hell of an orgasm. When I want it all, I go for this toy, since it pretty much covers all my bases. I have to admit, this has also become one of my favorite toys for my husband to use on me while I’m giving him oral. When all my holes are feeling greedy (pretty much my period of heat right before PMS sets in… Yeah, women go into heat), oral plus the Flex Vibrator is enough to keep me happy for a decent amount of time.


Harness Compatible

Although the Flex Vibrator is harness-compatible, I can’t say how well it would work out. However, I do have a feeling that the bullet vibrator inside could end up being a problem, as it might dig into the wear or get turned on/off with everything thrust. The only way to remedy that would be to push the bullet vibrator further into the cavity, but you risk not being able to get it out again.


Cleaning

Flex: You can boil the Flex for 5-10 minutes, stick it in the top rack dishwasher, wipe with a 10% bleach solution and rinse, or simply wash with a mild soap and water. Toy cleaners and wipes are also fine.

Bullet: You can wipe down the bullet with toy wipes, toy cleaner, a 10% bleach solution, or you can wash it with soap and water.


Storage

Silicone is pretty much a magnet for hair and dust. So, keep the Flex Vibrator somewhere safe from dust and hair, where it won’t get squished or touch other toys. You can keep it in a Ziploc bag, a toy storage unit, the box that it comes in, or wherever it will be stay safe and clean.

I recommend removing the batteries before storage. According to popular lore, you can place batteries in the refrigerator (not the freezer!), and they’re supposed to stay good longer.


Packaging

Flex | Vibrators | Tantus

The Flex Vibrator comes in Tantus’ standard packaging. Pretty much all Tantus toys comes in packaging very similar to this.

Information about the company and silicone are provided, but there’s nothing in particular about the Flex Vibrator on the packaging, or cleaning/care instructions. Instead, you’re directed to the Tantus website.

The plastic is fairly durable, and you could reuse it as storage. Of course, it’s not discreet.


Opinion

I love my Tantus Flex Vibrator, but I just wish the vibrations were a bit better. The bullet just doesn’t do much for me, either on or off, when it’s inside the silicone. It’s great on its own, but the vibrations don’t carry through the silicone toy well. If you’re into double penetration, though, I would definitely recommend this. It’s one of the few toys designed like this that I’ve seen that’s actually safe for your body, and it’s hard to go wrong with anything from Tantus. I would keep the size and circumferences in mind, though. It may be too thin or thick for some.
