Metal is one of those materials that has revolutionized sex toys in the past few years, and this Alumina Revolve (by Tantus) is one of those items.
Made of of aluminum (a phthalate free, hypo allergenic, body-safe material), this toy is heavier than silicone, lighter than steel, and absolutely perfect. Not only is it easy to clean with soap and warm water, but it can be sterilized by boiling it 3-5 minutes, putting it on the top shelf of the dishwasher and running it, or wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution. I love things that are easy to clean.
It’s also great for temperature play! While you should never actual freeze, microwave or boil a material like glass/metal/ceramic before use (getting frostbite or burns down there doesn’t seem like much fun to me), you can place your toy in a bowl of ice water or hot water to cause it to change temperature. Some people love this, others don’t, but temperature play is definitely one of my favorite things.
Another thing that is really cool about the Alumina line from Tantus is that the pieces screw apart in the middle, so that if you get different shaped toys, you can kind of create your own toy monster, exactly how you like it. Sounds a bit like perverted tinker toys, yes, but that’s what I love about it.
I love this toy; I’ve used it with both water based and silicone based lubes, and both work just swimmingly. The smoothness of this toy feels absolutely astounding inside, and because it’s a harder material, it provides excellent G-spot stimulation. Just be forewarned; if you’re ejaculator, time to put down some towels, because Old Faithful may erupt. It works great as a penetrative toy, especially paired either with a favorite vibrator, or a partner’s tongue on the clit. (Because it doesn’t have a flanged base, it should NOT be used for butt play!)
The cons of this toy? I’m hard pressed to find any. Oh! Here’s one; if you like bigger toys (as in thicker — this one is plenty long), you might feel a little disappointed in it because it is relatively skinny. I think, personally, that the awesome material and shape make up for it, but it’s worth putting that out there. Also, if you let your hands get too lube-y, it can be hard to grip the toy, as it really is incredibly smooth. Solution? Keep a towel/washcloth by the bed to wipe off your hands, and increase your grip.
All in all, this is really one of my favorite insertable toys EVER (and I’ve tried a lot), and my partner agrees. Five stars out of five for the Alumina Revolve!
