How much texture can you ram on to the bulge of a single dildo?
I swear Tantus were trying to find out when they made the Tantus Magma.
Although that’s a bit unfair.
The Tantus Magma is not a “throw texture at the schlong and see what works” kind of toy. Instead, Tantus took a long time refining the design, testing the optimal silicone levels, and even having sex toy icon, Epiphora, testing the prototypes in order to refine the design.
When a company includes the biggest name in sex toy reviewing in their design process then you know they’re not fucking about.
The Tantus Magma is a reinvention of the older Tantus Splash design (a toy I liked a lot), but this toy is no longer allied with the ocean. Instead, it has emerged from lakes of lava and raging flames as a bright red offering forged for optimal pleasure.
But does intent match intensity when it comes to the Tantus Magma?
We’re here to discuss that today.
The Tantus Magma
The Tantus Magma is a toy for texture, but you can likely tell that from the design.
This toy is basically if someone dolloped treacle on to a plain curved dildo and then decided to freeze frame it at the optimal moment for globular goodness.
The dollops and drips on the Tantus Magma might look like random but they’re actually meticulously devised by the Tantus team.
These areas are designed off of the Splash but the size, shape, and amount of them has been amended to be more precise during use. Some drips that were distracting were removed, others were lengthened and enlarged, and others were shortened.
This isn’t the only change either. The Tantus Magma is made from a slightly softer silicone than the Splash – 10A Shore Platinum Silicone, to be precise – and the result is a toy that can be easily bent in over itself and has some squish. Emphasis on ‘some’ though. This toy is about rubber ball soft in terms of squish. It’s not dual density silicone, and isn’t going to offer much in the way of a cush or plushy time.
The little bit of give does help the body accommodate its very bulging head, however; 1.5 inches of max diameter bulge to be precise.
That doesn’t sound like much but the Tantus Magma starts straight out at its largest size, before then becoming slimmer at its neck. This means you’re having to get the brunt of its globe-like tip in to your body from the get go, rather then easing in to a gentler taper.
For some this will be bliss, for others it won’t. I like it but I do find that I like to warm up to the Tantus Magma rather then going in dry…in fact I never ‘go in dry.’ I always use lubricant with this toy because it works so well with the glossy silicone used for the drips of this toy to create a smooth and sliding experience.
The rest of this toy’s silicone (the base layer, if you will) is more matte and this creates a nice contrast between the texture and the smoother layer that lurks beneath.
I have to admit, though – I really don’t notice smooth segments on this toy. My vagina is entirely focused on the cluster of ripples that make up its G-Spotting section and the way that the dollops keep my vaginal opening ever excited with ongoing stimulation.
