The Tantus Magma also aims to appeal to a wider audience: it’s the same exact shape as the original Splash, but very slightly smaller and cast in a softer silicone. It comes in a “mini” size, too. Gone is the pearlescent white and purple gradient; now it’s single color only, black or red, which probably helps keep the price down (it’s only $35!). Warning: the shade of red is awful — it looks like a fire hydrant coated in dust, not vibrant and eye-catching like the product photos. The black is legit, though, and the contrast between the glossy drips and matte shaft is neat.
Every drip on the Magma makes sense, and I know this because I was involved in early prototype testing for this shape. A few of the drips were shortened, others enlarged, and one on the underside was removed completely. Aside from looking cool, the drips produce satisfying, multi-layered stimulation for the nerve endings in my vagina, and that’s especially true of the Splash. In my review of it, I wrote:
This type of texture isn’t for everyone; it’s intense and sort of strange, but that is why I love it . . . [it] definitely requires a certain… dildo experience level. One that I’ve reached because my vagina is a boss.
I wouldn’t say that about the Magma, because the squishier silicone makes the texture more subdued. It’s closer to an all-purpose dildo — an enjoyable one, but with less nuance and precision than its predecessor. I might even describe it as gentle. This is a good thing — if I stop being selfish, anyway, and focus on the fact that not everyone is a texture slut like me.
