Tantus Little Secret Spoon

I'm a sucker for little battery operated bullets. Though I know they generally can't provide the strength or rumbliness of larger vibes, I can't resist the urge to try and find one that works well so I'll have something awesome for travel. Needless to say, Tantus' new line of mini vibrators, the Little Secrets piqued my interest - not a small part of that was due to the amazing colors of the sleeves, I'll admit.

Yes, I did immediately ruin the box with
my awesome package opening skills.

 I chose the Spoon, the fluorescent orange little G-spotter. Overall it's a little over four inches in length, the sleeve being about 3.25" with the butt of the bullet making up the rest. The bullet that's included looks and feels just like a silver version of the RO-80mm bullet I reviewed previously, though it is from Levett rather than RO. To quickly recap - it runs on an N battery, is rather strong (stronger than watch battery bullets, in the area of two AAA style large vibes), but it's buzzy. The vibrations are very pin point, focused in the tip, and on its own I found the bullet overpowering to use for more than a few minutes use.

My black RO bullet, the silver bullet that comes in the package, and the sleeve

The sleeve is everything I've come to love from Tantus silicone - plush but firm, with a shiny finish that slicks up like a dream with a drop of lube. The head of the Spoon is a solid blob of silicone, making the first inch fairly sturdy, while the rest is hollow and flexible (to accommodate the bullet, obviously), and it all transfers vibration very well. I tend to use a good amount of pressure on my clit with any toy, and I found that the head on this one tended to bend back a little while I was using it, right where the solid silicone ends. It was easy to find the right angle to keep it flat where I wanted it, though, and once in place it was perfect. The head provides a larger area of vibration than the bullet on its own, and it's more diffuse, making it much easier for me to use multiple times in a row.

Though the Spoon is marketed for G-spotting, I didn't particularly love it for that. It's just a little too small and flexible to really work for me - it reminds me of a slightly more rounded, flexible Lelo Ella in shape, which I didn't particularly like for G-spotting either. Things that are soft but very large (e.g. Vixen Creations' Buck or Maverick) work better for me in that regard, so I think for me it's just down to this particular shape not working with my anatomy.


Since the bullet comes out, obviously you can try anything you like in place of the standard issue one. The sleeve does fit quite a few of my other slimline toys and mini bullets, so if you have another little bullet that you want a sleeve for I wouldn't hesitate to pick up one of the Tantus Little Secrets instead of the usual junky sleeves. The Spoon sleeve also fits my middle finger really well - creating potential for an awesome Little Secret puppet show with its brethren - but more practically it works as a kind of finger-extension for internal stimulation, which could be very useful if you like the shapes and just want a little bit more from your finger banging sessions.

So all around, I really do like my Little Secret as a clitoral vibe. It's easy to store, and easy to use during partnered sex without it getting in the way. Also? It's ORANGE. I can't get over how amazing and vibrant this silicone is - I know that's a little silly, but I'm tired of everything small and travel friendly being bright pink and making me want to vomit, or black and easy to lose in the bottom of a bag. My little Spoon is a great balance, I think.

I was sent my Little Secret from Tantus Direct, and if you choose to buy one from them I'd definitely suggest taking a look at their closeouts for an awesome discontinued toy on the cheap. You can also use "NEATLYSORTED10" at checkout for 10% off your Little Secret vibe!
