I started my blog a year ago with a review of the Tantus Juice Plug, today I am celebrating one year by reviewing the Ryder another offering from Tantus. The Ryder is an intermediate butt plug with similar dimensions to the Juice but has a more rounded shape. Founded in 1998 Tantus is a fixture of the adult toy industry. They produce a varity of toys and helped popularize the use of body-safe silicone. The Ryder is one of their classic toy designs, it underwent a redesign a few years ago where a narrower more ergonomic base was added.
The Tantus Ryder a simple but functional design. It has a rounded tip an slight taper. The Ryder has a max diameter of 1.47" and a length of 4”. It has a T-shaped base designed to sit comfortably between the butt cheeks. Engraved on one side of the base is the Tantus logo. The neck of the plug is approximately 1" in length and .75” in width making it fairly comfortable.
Despite only having a minimal taper the Tantus Ryder is realitivly easy to insert. Once inserted it stays firmly in place, I have never felt like it could slip out even during vigorous physical activity. It is very comfortable even for long term wear, it does not feel pokey internaly because of the rounded tip, and the base isnt irritating. During partnered sex and solo play it puts gentle but noticable pressure as it rubs against my prostate and gives me a sensation of fullness. because it is easy to insert and is comfortable to wear the Ryder has become one of my go to toys.
The Ryder is made of Tantus' excellent silicone. It currently comes in two colors, oynx and Lilic which are black and a light purple respectively. It has a matte finish which feels velvety to the touch and does not attract lint. The silicone is realitivly firm with a little give which is perfect for a toy of its size. Overall the quality of the Ryder is good, the silicone is smooth and uniform and it functions as designed.
Like most silicone toys the Tantus Ryder is quite durable and will last for years if cared for. The matte silicone is easy to clean, after use I scrub the plug with soap and warm water then allow it to dry. Once it has dried I sanitize it with alcohol before putting away in my toy box. Because the Ryder is made of pure silicone it can be sterilized by boiling for 3-5 min.
The tantus Juice is more visually interesting than the Tantus Ryder, because of the vertical groves and symetrycal tapering. The Juice is easier to insert than the Ryder because the narrower tip and and more pronounced taper. The Ryder is more comfortable than the Juice because of its more rounded tip snd slightly longer neck. Both toys have almost indistinguishable bases which are both secure and comfortable. The Juice feels slightly squishier, probably because of the grooves because the silicon seems to be an identical blend.
I purchased the Ryder before I started reviewing toys and discarded the packaging therefore I do not have a picture of the box. Like other Tantus toys the Ryder either comes in clamshell plastic packaging or a colorful box with a plastic front to display the toy. Both types of packing are alright and perform their function of displaying the toy while keeping it clean in the store or during transit. The Ryder costs $37.00 which is on the more expensive side for a simple plug without vibration or other features. The price is worth it for me because of its great quality and durability.
Overall I think the Tantus Ryder is a great toy and I have no hesitation in recommending it. Although the design of the Ryder is deceptively simple, it is extremely comfortable and and provides a lot of sensation. The silicone is excellent it is firm enough for easy insertion while still being pleasantly pliabe, it also gets really slick when lubed but the matte surface does not collect lint. The toy is well sized, it is not overly large or difficult to insert but still provides plenty of sensation. The Ryder is a workhorse and will always have a place in my toy box.
