Tantus Raptor XL Dildo
I wouldn’t say that theTantus Raptor XLis the absolute largest dildo I’ve owned (the Vamp Greta and Njoy Eleven win that title) yet somehow, at first, the Raptor XL still managed to look and feel as intimidating as those afore-mentioned 2″ dildos. The Raptor XL is 1.75″ wide, and made from a pretty damn firm silicone. The “what sets it apart†factor is the design of the base & balls – which isn’t something I personally care about since I won’t be using this in a harness, just on myself. But of course, the question remains… is it awesome to use?
I’d have to give a hearty “Absolutely!†on that one.
I’ve discovered over the years that I, personally, prefer my dildos to be pretty damn firm. That’s just how I like it. If you’ve already determined that that’s not how YOU like it, then you won’t love theRaptorXL(or even theRaptor) like I do. If that’s the case, please let me point you to some lovelyTantus O2 productsor evenVixen Vixskinitems. That being said, for those who enjoy a firm material, the Raptor XL is quite lovely if you can handle the size. It’s not dwarfing-a-Coke-can like many Bad Dragon dildos but it holds its own in the larger sized category. When it comes to vaginas, a firm 1.75″ is usually quite tolerable for size queens, but requiring a little warm-up for many. You can sort of see in the photo below the difference in firmness; I’m comparing the ridged head of a Tantus O2 dildo in black to the purple, firm Raptor XL by pressing in on the material with my finger.
The pronounced ridge on the RaptorXL looks perhaps intimidating to some, wonderful to others. Tantus constructed this ridge to be something you will feel, but it is not sharp and ouchy. It’s enough that it can be felt at the entrance and definitely felt on the g-spot, but the chiseled edges ease you around it, it’s not a sudden occurrence. It’s just, simply, really well done. I LIKE IT A LOT. It turns what would be, for me, a ho-hum straight dildo into something way more interesting.
The head is a shiny, polished and more slick texture while the rest of the body has a very slight texture to it. 95% of you will want/need to use lube with it. There’s a little drag to it, but nothing excessive. I also wouldn’t say that the base performs very well as a suction cup alternative, but I wasn’t expecting it to, either. The design is, of course, phallic but it’s not super-realistic – there’s no foreskin wrinkles, not much to speak of for raised veins, the balls are high and tight. Since I’m not one to care for a super-realistic approach, this design meets in the middle, in between “looks nothing like a human penis†and “makes me feel like Lorena Bobbittâ€.
Also interesting is this newer take on balls. Tantus has kept them, to aid in the “realistic fantasy†aspect, but positioned them so that it’s easier to use this dildo in a harness. The balls will sit outside the harness. I personally think that “realistic†shouldn’t apply when the dildo comes in midnight purple and Tantus Orange, but that’s just me. The Raptor XL is a hefty sucker, so you’re going to need a well-made, well-fitting harness, preferably one with 4 straps securing the o-ring rather than 3. The harness needs to fit you securely and snugly, because the weight of larger, heavier dildos will try to pull it away from your body a bit. Shown below is the difference in a harness between two Tantus dildos that have balls. There are a few problems with both, and I’m thinking that it’s also due to the harness I have. While I fucking adore the Aslan Leather Cherry Minx harness, I’ve found that a 4-strap base is much more practical and secure for larger, heavy dildos. Also, the fat, leather o-ring straps take up too much precious room. To use the Raptor XL in a harness, you’ll have to first make sure that the o-ring is rubber and not metal, as you’ll have to stretch it and angle it to slip over the base – I suggest you pick the 2″ o-ring rather than the 1.75″. I’m also not sure that using the heavy RaptorXL in a “shorts style†harness likeRodeoHor evenSpare Partsbrand would work.
So if you like firm, girthy dildos that aren’t too over-the-top and not overflowing with texture, I think you’ll love the TantusRaptor XL. It’s great for vaginas and butts, is super easy to keep clean and sanitary and could be used in a short-notice dildo-duel. En garde!
Looking for something……
…bigger, that is still harness-compatible? Look at theTantus T-Rex
…smaller, but similar to the Raptor XL? Skip to the original TantusRaptor
…more realistic, and girthy? Consider theVixen Lonestar
…less realistic, and maybe a little softer? Definitely theTantus O2 Cush
Thanks to Shevibe for providing me this Tantus item in exchange for my honest review (and for tolerating my lateness on this)
That thing is huge I think it be too big for me, but the colors are so neat.
In the past, well in the near past too, I have been told by my wife (She@) that “your eyes are too large for MY genitalsâ€. What she means is that I have on a couple of occasions, OK more than a few occasions, purchased toys that are a little on the large size. https://www.theguardian.com/ has almost always worked out and we both end up having fun with the toys. WIth the Raptor XL though, especially with how you discuss its use in a harness, the tables have been turned. You see, over the past couple of years we have gotten into pegging as I have always loved anal play and she loves the sights and the feeling of penetrating me. When She@ saw your review of the Raptor XL she decides that she wanted it to play with me. I have very mixed feelings about this idea of hers. On one hand this big silicone thing looks daunting and frightening. On the other hand it looks like something that would (ultimately) be very enjoyable. Of course it might also be a sexual Mount Everest that I won’t be able to climb. I’ll let you know how it turns out since She@ already has the Tantus Raptor XL on order.
