After I was done using the original Tantus Stroker, I locked it in a box and then put that box in another box and then lit it on fire and cast it into the sea. Seriously, the worst toy ever made. After much therapy I came around to masturbating again and learned that Tantus had taken my review seriously. I said it was too tight and needed to be larger. I said it was too short and needed to be longer. I said it felt like getting deep throated by Jaws and needed to feel like being deep throated by not a shark. They presented me with their new and supposedly improved version, the Tantus Stroker XL. All of my suggested changes have been made, so I decided to give them another chance.
The Tantus Stroker XL is made of 100% premium Tantus silicone like all their toys and is made in the USA. That means that it is durable, easy to clean with soap and water, non-porous (wont harbor bacteria), and you can even boil it to sterilize it. The only downside to silicone if there had to be one is that you can’t use silicone lubes with them, but with masturbators you typically want a thicker water-based lube anyway so that’s no biggie. Silicone lubes will bond to the silicone toy and make a silicone mess.
I added a heaping dose of lube to myself and then stuck ‘er in the Stroker. It slipped on a lot easier than its former incarnation and felt pretty good! Like the original stroker, the Stroker XL is meant to simulate contractions, and it achieves this by lining the inside with a series of intensely protruding ribs.
Using the Stroker XL at first was a bit cumbersome. The outside is smooth soft silicone and a lubed up hand-made it hard to hold onto, but once you grip a little tighter the ribs on the inside actually help with gripping the toy firmly.
Jerking off with the Stroker XL felt great too. The ribs dramatically tease the head of your manhood in a way that softer more delicate materials simply can’t.
The real pay off with the Stroker XL, like most strokers in my opinion, is when you cum. As you know the penis becomes a lot more sensitive when you are climaxing, and that combined with the intense inner ribbing of the Stroker XL actually had me making a half-euphoric/half-shocked face. It felt excellent! I actually had to slow down jerking off because it felt too good (gasp!).
I am really happy with my new friend. For about $40 you get a toy that is durable, pleasurable and easy to clean. Thank you Tantus, you have redeemed yourself!
