Move over Zing, there is a new plug in town! And that plug is named Ryder, Tantus Ryder. It is wonderfully easy to insert, comfortable to wear, and gave my butt an orgasm of its very own! Don’t worry Zing, this doesn’t mean we are breaking up, I just… want to see other plugs occasionally.
You are probably wondering what makes the Ryder so special. Well, its just a gosh darn well designed butt plug from the sex toy wizards at Tantus. It’s really not all that revolutionary in its shape or size. It’s pretty simple, no texture, no wild shapes, no bumps, nubs, or gimmicks… its just… a butt plug, pure and simple. I think that is what makes it so great! Ryder is a butt plug with some serious self confidence, it doesn’t need anything else to be liked.
I’ll be honest here, there is no shortage of Ryder reviews out there, the internet is full of them. It seems like every sex toy blogger has one. I’m just going to add my voice to the dozen of other bloggers out there who are singing the praises of the glorious Tantus Ryder.
My particular Tantus Ryder came to me via the latest grab bag sale. 30% off? Who was I to turn a deal like that down. I had my fingers crossed for any color but purple. Sadly, when it arrived it was a deep, dark purple. Boo, hiss. Oh well, it’s still a nice color and I’m pretty sure purple doesn’t feel any different in my butt then any other color, I was just hoping for something… different.
The Tantus Ryder enjoys a frolic in the freshly fallen snow.
Made from Tantus’ own ultra-premium silicone that is 100% body safe and extremely easy to clean, the Ryder is a great plug to add to your anal arsenal. I would described the over-all shape of the plug as egg-esque. The top is rather blunt, which means there is no easing into this one. At it’s widest point Ryder is 1.5 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in insertable length. It provides a fairly gentle stretch as it slides in, and a nice feeling of fullness once it slips into place. Even with a blunter tip then I am used too, I never thought Ryder was uncomfortable or difficult to insert or remove. Once it was in place, I really loved it. It stayed in place as I walked around, jumped, skipped, twerked, and then finally masturbated. It never shifted and even stayed put during orgasm – no butt rocket launch! The base is also pretty amazing as far as butt plugs go, the smaller, rectangular base fits pretty perfectly between the cheeks. It wasn’t obnoxious or obvious… I’m definitely a fan of the design. It really kind of hit my sweet spot, having the perfect length and width for me. I really liked slowly pulling it out to just before the neck, then letting my butt suck it right back in. Seriously, I swear I had an orgasm from just this alone!
The Tantus Ryder would be appropriate for extended wear (especially with its base being so comfortable!) and since it has no bumps, grooves, or textures, it doesn’t collect quite as much butt goo as some plugs. Also, its size is just enough that I never really forgot it was there, but it wasn’t ever “too much.”
Now, I’ve seen differing opinions on who would like this plug. Some people swear that the Ryder is the perfect plug for beginners, others claim it is not for the faint of heart and tight of sphincter. I kind of lean towards the latter, I probably wouldn’t recommend this to a total anal beginner looking to pop their butt cherry. However, if you have engaged in anal sex before and have no problems with a penis, the Ryder should pose no threat to you. And really, this plug will probably work for anyone with enough lube, warm-up, and a relaxed sphincter.
Overall, this the Tantus Ryder is a really great butt plug and I do highly recommend it! On its own its a great solo toy, great for extended wear, and awesome during sex or masturbation sessions. It also would be a great toy to use as a warm up for anal sex! Even though the toy looks big, it honestly felt more beastly in my hand then it did in my butt!
The Tantus Ryder is available from Tantus in Midnight Purple or Black for $38.44 or if you don’t care about what color you get, consider the grab bag option. You’ll get the same great quality toy in a mystery color and it will only cost you $23.99!
