Tantaly Monroe Sex Doll Torso — Test & Review

Unveiling My Experience with the Tantaly Monroe

The Perfect Size

I had masturbators before – they did the mechanics and gave me orgasms, but I wanted the view and the feeling of having sex, not just stimulating my dick. I bought a small torso as well, one that has breasts, good-looking glutes and pleasant entrances, but it still felt as a big “fleshlight”. Since it was a really small woman’s body, I had some awkward feelings when using it. I realized I’d like a real human sized torso. I thought about a full-scale sex doll, with a head and legs and hands, but storing that one would be a real trouble, as well as taking care of its hair, face etc. Also, those legs and hands wouldn’t be of any use as they can not move themselves. So I was really looking into acquiring a sex doll torso, but the one that has hips, and particularly movable hips because they can add realism to your play session. They also provide the flexibility to use different postures – unlike immovable torsos, that are generally considered for this or that type of penetration. So here comes Tantaly’s Monroe.

Amazing Realism

Rating the Tantaly Monroe ’s design

She looks beautiful. Being wrapped in clothes or even just laying in your bed with her missing parts "hidden" under a blanket, she will really look very real. The boobs are silicone though - I haven't seen a really life-like simulation so far. Yet they are still good to touch, especially the nipples - they are really close to real nipples. The same goes about the private parts - they feel very lifelike when touched. The visual is very close, though it could have been closer if the entry points were hidden a bit deeper inside the skin folds - they look like what they are - circular holes left from the molding process to provide the doll with the internal cavities. I was fascinated with the curvatures, those not so obvious ones, like the subgluteal fold, dimples at the collarbone, vertebral cavity that follows the curvature of the skeleton in all its positions. Add here the set of accessories and the storage box - they all look very thought through and give you the sense of luxury.

The Ease of use of the Tantaly Monroe

She is tough. It starts with the first moments you get the package delivered - I really recommend using a dolly to get it from the entrance/mail room/post office. Taking the product box out of the postal packaging box is easier done to the side, rather than upwards, the same with taking the transporting bag out of the product box. Then they say you should wash it thoroughly before first use. I used the bath tub for that - the bonus with that is that the doll is warmed up in its whole volume during the process. To do that one has to take her out of the box and then gently(!) place it in the water. Surprisingly - it floats, and that's with all its weight! After that you need to thoroughly wipe it dry with a towel and then pull out of the bath tub and get it to your bed or any other play location. I was sweaty by that time already ;-) So my advice is to use a big towel as a kind of a stretcher to handle her. You would especially find this method useful AFTER the play session, when you will need to wash her once again promptly in order to clean her out, before lube and whatever else dries out inside her. Then when you will need to change her posture, which is tough as well - you will have to apply quite a good amount of pressure to make that bend on her back, and probably twice more to make her straight again for storage afterwards. With a live woman you can just ask her to spread hear legs or turn one leg to a side, with Monroe - you will have to apply direct pressure on her hip-bone in the proper direction for the bone to move.

Quality Assessment

Overall quality is very, very good. There were a few things that caught my attention though. The first one I already mentioned - the visible holes in the sphincters. This is something almost impossible to hide, but that really makes it feel artificial and kind of not properly looked at during the manufacturing process. Next is the seam line on the pubis. Well I am not sure if it is actually a seam there, but it looks as it is. Since I know they have an option to make the masturbation module detachable for easier cleaning. It looks like here they glued it in and carefully hid the signs of it being molded separately. Nothing bad, you will not notice it other than just a very light curvature change and a light line. I can even be mistaken that is just a simulation of the grand labia, but that's how I've seen it. The next thing is the bones and their absence. Mentioned before collarbones are not bones in fact - they are just curves on the soft TPE body. There aren't any ribs. The hip bones are there, but you can clearly feel they are just thin rods, so I am really worried about accidental dropping the doll on her hips or just jumping on it during doggy-style sex - I am afraid the rods could puncture the hips. It is maybe too much to expect from just a sex doll, but well, couple of decades ago we were only seeing inflatables or rigid models, now we have TPE, so why not dream of a doll that has proper density in more parts of the body? I could imagine that making e.g. the hip bones thicker, covering them with some more dense "muscles" and leaving the insides hollow could make the weight of the doll smaller. The same could be with the rib cage and its insides - it could have made it much lighter. Though maybe I am mistaken and such a body should actually weigh that much to be "close to life"?

The Tantaly Monroe ’s Price Tag

Compared to other dolls of similar size the price is on the average level. But buying such a beauty for yourself is a decision to make. When price can be counted not in hundreds but now in thousands of dollars (even if it is just 0.8-0.9 thousand) it is not something you can easily decide on. Is it worth the money - yes, if all the cons aren't stopping you - the doll will very soon pay for itself with money saved on something (or someone...) else. With this type of doll you really get the chance to try and enjoy the techniques and postures you were dreaming of. So decide for yourself.

The Performance of the Tantaly Monroe : A Review

I once made a gift to my wife - I gave her a womanizer and she said: "it knows far too well exactly what it should do to make me orgasm. As good as it is, it becomes a bit too guaranteed that I will have an orgasm". I now felt the same with Monroe. Each of the Tantaly dolls has their own form of the inner canals so I can not tell for every their toy out there, but when you push your dick inside her, you instantly feel "oh, baby, that's just right!" And you can do it with her in every posture you can imagine (though some would require some strength from you, like cowgirl, but still). She will take your dick and will make everything just right and it will all feel and look very real. Oh and did I mention you can use your sex-toys on her as well? Fingering, even fisting, or enema play (the water would be jetting out of her!) Breast-fucking, nipple play, ass slapping - everything is very, very good.

Unwrapping the Tantaly Monroe : A Look at the Packaging

The packaging is great. The delivery box itself is discreet, but inside there is a colorful product box with basic handling and care instructions. The recent upgrade from Tantaly now includes a discreet black bag with zipper and handles that allow you to move the doll around more easily while it is packed for storage. There's also a small pocket on the outside of the bag for some extra items you'd like to store along with the doll. I could suggest to also adding a pulling handle, since I suppose most people would prefer pulling the bag rather than lifting it. Inside the bag, the doll is packed into the polystyrene foam form that holds the doll in place pretty tight and secure.

Exploring the Materials and Care

The material is TPE which is porous. It also has some oil in it so it can leave (easy to wash) stains on your sheets, so beware. The included instructions suggest using some easy-to-get storage and caring treatments, although that is optional. What is really important is to store the doll clean and absolutely dry, especially inside. The drying rod is included, but I haven't seen any effect from it other than using it as something to push in a handkerchief to properly and quickly collect all water residue after washing.

Special feature

The real special feature of Monroe is the skeleton and it’s ability to be bent and twisted. Other dolls sometimes have some rigid structures inside them not to be lumpy. Some other dolls do not have even that and are just a piece of TPE/silicone with holes for sex. Monroe is not like that. She has the true spine (not with all the spine bones, but at least it is centered on the back) AND she also has hips. The hips are sturdy enough to hold the doggy style position, you can spread them wide for missionary pose, or you can bend them up for the spoons position. The spine can be bent making that famous arc, or you can twist it and enjoy the breasts while entering from behind. These abilities add so much to the realism of the doll and the overall perception.
