My Verdict
I really like the Tantus Charmer as an anal dildo, and think it's well worth the investment. If you are looking for a dildo to use vaginally, bear in mind that, unlike many dildos, the shaft get's narrower towards the base, so you might not get that full feeling with the whole dildo inserted. You can use the tip for some good g-spot stimulation though.

Personal Experience
I was attracted to the lovely shimmering lavendar color of the Charmer and the fact that it was made by Tantus, who are known for their high-quality silicone. I initially bought it for vaginal use but soon figured out I much preferred it for anal use, so it was transferred to my anal toys drawer! I find the firm but flexible silicone and the shape are much better suited to anal play, for me at least! The slightly larger head and slimmer shaft feel great anally, but left me wanting a fuller feeling when using vaginally. The ridges have the slight feel of anal beads, as the shaft is inserted but not as intense, and they add some subtle stimulation while the toy is inside as well. I’ve had the Tantus Charmer for a few years now and still find myself reaching for it on the regs, which is a definite win in my books! The only downside in my books is the lack of a suction cup base.
Design
The Tantus Charmer comes in a beautiful shimmering purple color, called purple haze, which has an almost iridescent finish. The shaft is wider at the top and slightly narrower at the base with four gentle ridges and a slight curve. It's made in Tantus' glossy finish, which makes it lovely and smooth, especially with a slick of water-based lubrication.
Ease of Use
The Tantus Charmer is pretty easy to use, although it doesn't have a suction cup base, which would open up a whole more options for positions and hands-free riding. The other thing to bear in mind is that the widest part of the dildo is at the head and not the base, so you are inserting the largest part first.
Quality
Tantus are known for making high-quality silicone sex toys using their own 100% Ultra-Premium Silicone formula and the Charmer certainly lives up to their high standards. I've had this dildo for a couple of years and has been boiled many times since I bought it and there are no signs of damage or wear.
Price
I think this is a very reasonable price for a high-quality silicone dildo that is made to last. I was disappointed it didn't come with a storage bag though!
Performance
The ridges on the Tantus Charmer are relatively subtle — they are pronounced enough to that you can feel them without being too intense. I found this most pleasurable when used anally, as I can feel the ridges moving in and out a little more. The silicone is relatively firm with some flexibility but it's definitely on the more firm end of the scale.
Packaging
Unfortunately, I threw out the packaging when I bought the Tantus Charmer a while ago, but from what I remember, it was very basic and came in clear package, so be sure to open it in private!
Materials and care
As the Tantus Charmer is made from 100% silicone, you can wash it with warm water and mild, unscented soap. You can also boil it to sterilize it. Once clean, dry it thoroughly and store it in a clean bag or box. You should also use a generous slick of water-based lube with the Charmer — it helps the glossy silicone slide smoothly and feels amazing!

Tantus Charmer vs. Tantus Curve
The Tantus Charmer and the Tantus Curve are both top-notch dildos that offer unique experiences. The Charmer, with an overall score of 4.7/5.0 and a Bedbible rating of 4.7/5.0, impresses with its ridged shaft and a design score of 90/100. It has a 6.5-inch insertable length and a diameter of 1.1 inches, perfect for beginners or those who prefer a more gentle approach. On the other hand, the Tantus Curve, outdoing the Charmer with an overall score of 4.8/5.0 and the same Bedbible rating, boasts a slightly shorter insertable length of 5 inches but a wider diameter of 1.37 inches, catering to those seeking a fuller sensation. Both made of high-quality silicone, the Curve steps up the game with a more realistic texture and a curved shaft designed for targeted G-spot or P-spot stimulation. The Tantus Curve is also much more flexible and soft, whereas the Tantus Charmer is more rigid.Tantus Charmer vs. Maia Kendall Dildo
Comparing the Tantus Charmer to the Maia Kendall Dildo reveals two distinct approaches to pleasure. The Charmer, with its smaller size and ridged silicone design, offers a comfortable introduction to insertable toys with its beginner-friendly dimensions (6.5 inches insertable length, 1.1 inches diameter). The Maia Kendall, on the other hand, boasts a perfect Bedbible rating of 5.0/5.0 and an equally impressive design score of 98/100. It’s notably larger, with an 8-inch length (7 inches insertable) and a wider 1.75-inch diameter, featuring a ribbed texture across the whole shaft for added stimulation. The Kendall emerges as a strong contender for those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative, however, the quality of Tantus dildos is much better and more durable.Tantus Charmer vs. Vixen Creations VixSkin Mustang
The Charmer, with its respectable ratings and ridged design, is well-suited for beginners and those who favor a slimmer profile. The Mustang, however, takes the lead with top scores (4.8/5.0 overall, 5.0/5.0 Bedbible) and a perfect design rating of 100/100. It offers a slightly longer insertable length (6.5 inches) and a comparable diameter but stands out with its platinum-grade silicone material and the dual-density feature that feels incredibly life-like. The Mustang is an ideal choice for those who are looking for a natural experience and value high-quality products and unique designs. Whereas, the Tantus Charmer is much more suitable for those looking for a small and textured dildo.Tantus Charmer vs. Tantus Cush
In comparing the Tantus Charmer to the Tantus Cush, we see two high-quality options suited to different preferences. The Charmer, with a 6.5-inch insertable length and a 1.1-inch diameter, is ideal for beginners due to its slender size and ridged texture. It scores well with an overall 4.7/5.0 and a design rating of 90/100. The Cush, on the other hand, offers a 6.5-inch insertable length and 1.75-inch diameter. It matches the Charmer in overall score but exceeds in design and ease of use, making it a premium choice for those who prefer a fuller size without the ridges. Both are excellent, but the Cush caters to a slightly different, more experienced audience.Other products from Tantus
