Tantus Feeldoe

This is one of the most innovative toys of recent years. The Tantus Feeldoe was revolutionary in introducing the “strapless strap-on.” Until this gem came along the only way for a woman to adorn a cock was to strap on a harness of some type and attach a dildo to the front of it. Depending on your body type and your level of comfort with having two or three straps of leather or nylon wrapped around you, a harness may or may not work for you. Well now you can go strapless.

The Feeldoe was created by women for women. The inventor, Mia originally designed it for the lesbian market and for those who got tired of dealing with harnesses. According to their web site, “Mia invented these special toys because she got frustrated with having to stop in the middle of it all and wait... while the one she loved donned a harness, buckling this, snapping that, fumbling in the dark to get all strapped up… and then work even harder while feeling absolutely nothing!  By the time all of that getting ready was done, she was out of the mood and doing a cross word puzzle!”

Here’s what you need to know about the Feeldoe: It has a “pony” end and a “horse” end. To use it you insert the bulbous "pony" end vaginally, spread the labia, and nestle the ridges of the "saddle" against your clitoris. Then hopefully you’ll know what to do with the "horse" end that looks like a dildo. There’s a single-speed bullet vibe in the base of the Feeldoe and since this silicone transmits vibrations so well, they’re felt by both partners. The pony end stimulates the wearer’s g-spot, so both parties can really enjoy the ride. This is another innovative feature of the Feeldoe - it’s not often you find a toy that delivers direct stimulation to both partners during intercourse.

You’ve probably ascertained that the only thing holding this toy in place are the wearer’s pubococcygeus (PC) muscles. These are the same muscles used to hold in a tampon, or to stop urine flow. The PC muscles can be exercised in order to strengthen one’s grip. Kegel exercises are beneficial in more ways than one though. The strengthening of the PC muscles aids in child-birthing, increases sensitivity so sex feels better and even causes women to have more intense orgasms.

All of that being said, I’ll share with you my personal experience with the Feeldoe. We were very excited to try out this new toy. And it was a lot of fun trying out. Remember what I said about the PC muscles holding the Feeldoe in place? Well my girlfriend has what I consider to be fairly strong PC muscles. She wears Ben Wa balls semi-frequently and has gotten to the point where she can remove them with relative ease, using her PC muscles. During sex she’s able to contract and relax her muscles, massaging my cock and delivering some really nice sensations. But, she had a really difficult time holding this toy in place during sex. The Feeldoe is much heavier than one would expect it to be. Gravity is difficult to overcome with a muscle group you’re not really accustomed to using for such a thing. She did manage to overcome by clenching her thighs together though. Once she got the hang of it, it was a fun ride.

She got to the point where she could fuck with it without much effort, but because it somewhat limited her movements, she didn’t feel she had much freedom for anything else. So, because I’m a tinkerer and I’m always looking for ways to make things easier, I wound up making a harness for her to use with the Feeldoe. It’s just something simple, made from chrome-plated leash chain and some latches, but she likes wearing it.

The Feeldoe is curved just right for stimulating the g-spot (or p-spot) on most people. It comes in three models. The “pony” end on all of the models measures 2 ½” long with a 1 ½” diameter. Each model is made in one color, you don’t get to choose. The Classic is purple and the insertable end is 6” x 1 ½”; the Slim is blue and the insertable end is 5 ½” x 1 ¼”; the Stout is black and the insertable end is 5 3/4” x 1 3/4”; the More is red and the insertable end is 6 3/4” x 1 5/8”.

If you’re tired of using harnesses and want to try something new, the Feeldoe is definitely worth a try. I must tell you though, there are some similar items hitting the market, and they’re doing some interesting new things in design. So you may just want to talk to my friends over at The Velvet Venus about this and the other alternatives. They’ve got “their finger on the pulse” so to speak and can help you find exactly what you need.
