Tantus Mark

It's no secret that my favorite toys in the world are squishable, squeezable, lusciously pliable silicone dildos. So when Tantus announced their new realistic line, made in their new O2 Dual Density silicone variation, I knew I was going to need to get my greedy little hands on one of those dildos. Luckily, Babeland came to my aid again and sent along Mark, further feeding my lust for Tantus toys.

You will squeeze me. Obey the sticker.

Mark is pretty average in size, coming in at about 1.5" wide and 6" long. There's some veining on the shaft, and though it isn't very pronounced, I can feel it really well in use. In combination with the velvety drag on the length, I get a very realistic sensation that's wonderful to squeeze against. The surface does still have that characteristic Tantus silicone smoothness, especially on the head where there's no velvety-veining at all. The super shiny, super smooth head makes for incredibly easy insertion - once you've got your lube added, there's practically no resistance on that first inch (can anyone say smooth sailing for anal or for practicing your deep throating technique?). The base is bulked up, making it very easy to grip by hand and substantial enough for harness use, while still being pliable enough that it won't crush your pubic bone. There's no suction cup action going on, but it is firm enough and stable enough that this dildo can stand on it's own.

It's also still got that characteristic silicone lint-magnet quality.

As for the O2 Super Soft material itself - I love it. The core of the dildo feels rather hard and firm, but it's mediated by a good thick layer of squeezable O2 silicone around it. The entire first inch or so of the head is just soft material, but Tantus' O2 blend is firm enough on it's own that it isn't a problem. The soft:hard ratio makes it easy to insert without your dildo flopping all over the place, but since the head is just soft material, you don't have to worry so much about ramming hard silicone into your cervix or other sensitive bits. Super extra bonus points? I think so.
I only have one complaint about this toy, and it's minor... I kind of wish it the head was more pronounced. I really like that pop that larger, mushroom-looking coronas can give, and this sleek-lined toy just doesn't quite do it for me in that category.

(HOW DID I END UP WITH SO MANY HOT PINK TOYS?)

All are about 1.5" inches wide, softest ---> firmest

Though they're still calling it O2 silicone, I don't think it feels the same as the old O2 silicone on my Tantus Niagara. In part, I think that's because the squishy layer is thicker than is used to be, but even the head where there's no core at all feels softer and more lifelike on Mark. It just has more of that velvet, rolling skin feeling that I've come to love in realistic toys. Also, though the Super Soft O2 is a good deal softer than the old O2, and MUCH softer than regular Tantus silicone, it doesn't quite reach the same category of super!squishy! that Vixen Creations VixSkin toys do. It's also a little less grabby and... well, there's not adjective I can think of for it, but O2 doesn't have that feeling of Vixen toys that's almost like hot skin (that's not to say that Mark doesn't pick up body heat - because it does - it just feels less like hot skin). However, that could be a good thing, as I've seen people complain VixSkin is almost too soft, and that it just feels sticky. It's all about preferences, eh?

Babeland offers up Mark in three different skin tones, as well as his sibling Adam if you want a little more length with a G-spot bend.
