The Tantus Luke O2 is one of the few realistic dildos that I’ve fallen in love with. I’m fairly picky when it comes to more realistic dildos, because I prefer them to look more like my husband’s penis. The Luke O2 fit that bill, and the fact that it was a Tantus O2 product just made the deal sweeter. The O2 Cush and O2 Flurry completely spoiled me. Once you go dual density, it’s difficult to go back.
O2? Dual Density? What?
The O2 line from Tantus are dual density toys that are designed to have a realistically familiar feel. The SuperSoft™ outside and the hard muscle core are both made of Tantus’ own unique blend of 100% Ultra-Premium Silicone. Aside from that, the Luke O2 also has a dual finish; a soft matte finish on the balls and shaft, and a smooth shiny head.
Basic Details
Length: 7"
Insertable length: 5 3/4"
Circumference: 6"
Diameter: 2"
Harness compatibility: O-ring compatible. You’ll need at least a 2” ring.
Weight: 1.3 lb
Anal-safe
Keep in mind that I wear a size 4 wedding ring, and my hands are tiny.
Material: Silicone
All Tantus toys are hand-made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality 100% Premium Platinum Silicone (If cared for properly, it will last a lifetime). That means they’re hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate-free, odorless, tasteless, boilable, bleachable, and completely nontoxic! They are also manufactured 100% green.
The Luke O2 retains heat well, so pop it in bowl of warm water before play to make it feel even more realistic. Just be careful not to get the water too hot!
Texture/Firmness
The Luke O2 features smooth balls and a shaft with nicely pronounced veins in a matte finish, which feels decently similar to skin. The head is very smooth and shiny, with a bit more drag to it than the matte finish. There is a pronounced corona (lip of the head) and a slightly exaggerated frenulum which has uneven foreskin ridges around the toy the make things look a bit more realistic.
The head and balls, which lack the firm core, are very squishy. I can easily squish and pinch them with just two fingers. The shaft is just as squishy, but has a very dense core. I can bend it, but it does take some effort. The softer material on the outside of the core is thicker at the base of the shaft and gets thinner towards the head. It does feel very close to how an actual penis would.
The design of the Luke O2 seems to me to be very similar to the VixSkin LoneStar. Instead of picture-bombing my review with large comparison photos, you can click the green text to view a slideshow of the larger photos. They are the same height, it’s just that the base of my VixSkin LoneStar sort of warped over time from being stuck in a certain position.

Lube
Use only water-based lube, as silicone lube can damage silicone toys. The matte finish on the shaft holds onto lube well.
Cleaning
You can boil the Luke O2 for 5-10 minutes, stick it in the top rack dishwasher, wipe with a 10% bleach solution and rinse, or simply wash with soap and water. Toy cleaners and wipes are also fine.
Storage
Silicone is pretty much a magnet for hair and dust. So, keep the Luke O2 somewhere safe from dust and hair, where it won’t get squished or touch other toys. You can keep it in a Ziploc bag, a toy storage unit, the box that it comes in, or wherever it will be stay safe and clean.
Packaging
The Luke O2 that I received came in a clear poly bag sealed with a folded Tantus label. Information about the company and silicone are provided, but there’s nothing in particular about the Luke O2 on the packaging, or any cleaning/care instructions. Instead, you’re directed to the Tantus website.
The bags aren’t a normal thing, though. If you decide to get the Luke O2 for yourself, it will come cradled in a clear plastic box along with about the same amount of information. All Tantus toys pretty much come in the same packaging. So, to the right is the packaging for another Tantus toy.
Opinion
I always say I’ve never had a Tantus toy that I haven’t liked, and that still holds true. Personally, I have nothing to complain about; perfect shape, perfect size, dual density, lovely texture, and I love that Tantus is doing a dual finish thing now. I’ve actually got a couple other Tantus dildos that have the same dual finish, and I love them.
The only issue that I’ve seen is that it would be better if it were curved a bit for harness play. Otherwise, love it!

Yep, Bad Dragon has released a new toy modeled after a lion/tiger mix!
It had been another grueling afternoon at the dojo. The Master was a stern and demanding Liger; his muscular form dominated his students' attention as he strode around, correcting them or observing in silence. Quite often, the lessons left you feeling tired but satisfied...
- Features a gentle but significant taper, perfect for practicing for those larger toys!
- Lots of texture on the head and near the base, with spinelike bumps you can feel!
I’m not sure how I feel about the coloring, but the design looks interesting. Hmm… Maybe dark natural? You can click the pictures or any of the green text to go check this Liger out!
The Crystal Twist Mini Plug is a uniquely-shaped, sparkling glass butt plug from Crystal Delights, with an embedded genuine Swarovski crystal that is available in 8 stunning colors.
While I was taking pictures of my mint green Crystal Twist Mini Plug, the light caught it just right and made this gorgeous, bright green gleam.
(And now I know how the “paranormal” sellers on Ebay make their jewelry look “possessed”. They just take their pictures at a certain angle with the flash on. Or, maybe my plug is possessed… Hmm…Maybe a Nympho? I might actually put it up on the Creepy Hollows forum and see if anyone thinks there’s a spirit attached. What? I’m weird, okay?)
General Details
Plug Material: Pyrex Glass & a Genuine Swarovski Crystal
Pouch Material: 100% Nylon Lining, 60% Rayon & 40% Polyester
Compatible Lube: You can use any personal lubricant
Length: 4.7"
Insertable Length: 4.2"
Width: 1.4"
Weight: 3.6 ounces
Packaging: My Crystal Twist Mini Plug came inside a pouch made in the USA by Annabelle’s Frog, wrapped in sparkly gold star paper along with a Crystal Delights pin and a WET Safe Sex Kit.
Anal Use
The Crystal Twist Mini Plug was actually very easy for me to insert. I just lubed it, and myself, up well and slid it in. I don’t have to warm up to being able to take this plug at all. It sort of twists when it’s inserted and during retrieval.
I’ve had no issues with it being uncomfortable. I can sit, walk, and move however I want with it in. It’s fine for extended plugging, too.
When it’s in, it feels secure, and doesn’t feel like it’s going to just slip out. Actually, I can gently tug on it, and it’ll stay in place. The crystal base is big enough to ensure the toy is anal-safe, and the neck is the perfect length for me.
Well-lubed, it feels wonderful to give this plug a twist during play. It’s also an interesting sensation for my husband, since he can feel me moving it while he’s in me.
Vaginal Use
There’s nothing that says the Crystal Twist Mini Plug can’t be used as a vaginal plug or dildo. So, you know what I’ve been up to!
With very little lube needed because of the minimal drag of the smooth glass, the Crystal Twist Mini Plug is a perfect dildo for me. Crystal Delights does carry a Crystal Twist Dildo, which has 1.5” inches more of insertable length, but the Crystal Twist Mini Plug is the perfect size for me. Since I’m petite (5’1” 98lbs), I tend to prefer toys that aren’t as long.
The shape sort of makes me think that it could be used as a juicer, not to be confused with a glass juicer dildo, which I had and got rid of a long time ago. That was SO not worth it. If you’re contemplating getting something that looks similar to the item to the left, get the Crystal Twist Mini Plug instead. The shape is much better, and more comfortable.
Twisting it manually as I slowly thrust with it is so stimulating internally that I’ve orgasmed from that and minimal clitoral stimulation. I’ve NEVER reached orgasm through slow thrusts before. The first time, I was just messing around and was getting close at a slow pace, so I just kept it up and actually ended up surprising myself with an orgasm. So, now I know I don’t always have to have it fast and hard, although I do like that… The twisting almost feels like something writhing inside *cue the tentacle fetish*.
Another thing, because of the twists, the plug is easy for my PC muscles to grip. So, it’s sort of a bonus kegel toy for me, too.
Cleaning
Plug: Soap and water are just fine, but you can also wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol, or a 10% bleach solution. Although glass sex toys can be sterilized by boiling or the dishwasher, this is not recommended, as doing so would jeopardize the embedded crystal.
Pouch: Cold wash / Line dry
Care & Storage
Be careful not to drop the Crystal Twist Mini Plug or let it bump or slide across anything that might scratch it. Always check your glass sex toys for chips, cracks, or scratches before use. Even the smallest scratch can damage your delicate insides.
If you want to experiment with temperature, only use warm water or cool water. Hot or freezing water may put the embedded crystal at risk. I would also advise against placing it in the freezer, for the same reason.
In order to protect your Crystal Twist Mini Plug from scratches, chips and and other damage, make sure to store it in the soft pouch that it comes in.
Opinion
If the feel of something makes me think of a writhing tentacle, it’s okay in my book. The Crystal Twist Mini Plug beautifully crafted, and my eyes and orifices are in love with the form. It’s always nice to see glass sex toys come with their own storage pouch, too, since it’s so important to keep them safe.
Much love to Crystal Delights for allowing me to review this plug!

I Want the Sweet Heart Kink Kit to Celebrate the Lupercalia Festival! 
Here’s the deal, February 13th-15th used to be celebrated by the Romans, and was something the church wouldn't stand for, so they designated it St. Valentine's Day. There was a whole big to-do and lots of rituals. So, to make things simple, you basically need to chase me around with a whip, flog me, then drag me away to ravage me. Sound good? If you want to go more into detail about this, you’ll have to read up on the history of Valentine’s Day by clicking here.

I want chocolate! Not the little pitzy jar. No… I want the big jar! You just spread yourself out facedown on the bed and let me have my fun. Also, get some strawberries, marshmallows, and anything else that goes well with chocolate. You’re going to be my dessert plate for the day.
Check out my review of this stuff. I’d buy it by the truckload, if I could.

This One Comes With Chocolate! Whoot!
See? It has the Babeland Edible Body Chocolate, one of their yummy Babeland Massage Candle (Maybe Rice Flower? I’m just guessing from the color of the label.), the OhMiBod Club Vibe 2.OH (which I have yet to try), the Laid P.3 Cock Ring, the Babeland Satin Bondage Kit, and a nice Babeland Shopper Tote to keep everything in. It would keep me organized. You know how fussy you are about that!
