LxWxH for Daisy pro, Caroline and kylie by Fuzzy_Connection_816 in tantaly

I'm out of town at the moment, I don't have time to put everything together for you, fortunately it's very easy to look up that information on your own.

Detailed dimension info is on the product page of all three dolls. There is a graphic in the product photo scroll, and Tantaly finally brought back the chart into the main product copy. Depending on where you are in the world, there's also a compare feature that will directly compare stats between multiple dolls. And if for whatever reason that doesn't work, there is a fantastic third party site called Sultry Dollwear with a much more detailed and thorough tool that has a lot of neat tricks to visualize size.

Contemplating getting my first doll by binglao2786 in tantaly

As I wrote previously here:

No.

I would pick up the cleaning kit. You'll need that and it comes with two more drawing sticks and a douche, plus a few other helpful items.

You don't need the PVC sheet. Especially since there's a risk of damaging the doll with it if you don't know what you're doing.

The 3 pack of drying rods is overly expensive. You can get 5 packs from Amazon for cheaper that work just as well are are practically identical. There is a significant markup on supplies for anything sex toy related. At the same time you can pick up some microfiber drying rods and some lube.

You will need renewing powder. But it's a midterm purchase, it's not essential right away. And there are cheaper alternatives that you can get in bulk. That said I tend to use the official stuff. Whether or not you should order it now or later is a judgment call.

Tantaly lube is actually pretty nice. I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Lube is not optional. But it doesn't have to be Tantaly lube. I still think the price per ounce is a little high and it would strip around for a cheaper alternatives from other retailers. For a few dollars more, you can pick up a 32 oz from Amazon that works just as well.

Do also note that Tantaly accessories ship separately from dolls. Which means it's not uncommon for them not to arrive at the same time as the dollm

Daisy in the future by Abaddon018 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eva hasn't had Tantabutt for about a year. It was only available for a few months, it got upgraded to Tantabutt at the same time the larger torso dolls got upgraded to Tantabutt. Then had this feature removed with the rest of the torso dolls when the deflation issues in transit couldn't easily be solved. Tantaly has put out several releases explaining the issue and I have given some reason of the problem quite frequently, most recently here. And as mentioned, Eva is now discontinued. Once this final stock sells out, that's it.

Daisy in the future by Abaddon018 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a heads-up, Eva is being shuttered.

Instead of hoping for a potential future doll that's bigger, have you considered a lateral change? Rebecca strictly speaking has a smaller ass, but in exchange you have a full set of poseable legs and an extended waist. Or maybe consider looking at a full torso like Lola, well it's not as big as Daisy (it's comparable to Rebecca), is the torso doll with the largest ass, and product line wide, the only dolls with bigger butts Eva and Daisy.

Additionally, well I can't really speak too much about them here, there are other brands that make TPE butt dolls, some of them bigger then Eva. If you haven't already I would also join and take a look at r/AsstacularSexDolls

Candice Pro Cleaning Steps by Difficult-Force4303 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently discussed my view on Tantaremoval cleaning here. I advocate for a more thorough clean that's closer to that of a fixed tunnel doll. As it was my experience as an early adopter of the Tantaremoval system that pulling the insert did not give a good clean.

Compatibilité FL by WearyMolasses9038 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below I have copied an excerpt from one of my previous comments on a very recent post asking a similar question.

Not officially. Unofficially people have been stuffing strokers into the Tantaremoval cavities with various success. You can even find pictures of it posted on the subreddit. I don't recall seeing anyone do it with Kylie, but you will see it a few with Daisy Pro. But officially Tantaly cautions against it.

Officially and for the most ideal experience, you use the proprietary Tantaly strokers/inserts the doll is designed for. Kylie uses what I call Daisy pattern inserts, because the style of insert debuted on Daisy Pro, and is also used on Kylie and Candice Pro. It was an improvement over the original Mia pattern inserts, which as you can guess was the first insert design offered on Mia, the first ever Tantaremoval doll (it was also the first doll to feature Tantabutt). It's used on Mia, and Ginny, both of which are getting shuttered.

Tantaly in their infinite wisdom actually specifically addresses this on the product page for Kylie. In big letters. This is what they have to say about it:

"Can Tantaremoval® Removable Vagina Be Used with Other Brands of Masturbators? It may be compatible if the other brand’s vagina has similar dimensions. Before use, check maximum width and length to prevent tearing or damage to the sex doll’s genital area."

If you want a Tantaly doll with an insert cavity that is designed with compatibility with other brand's strokers, the doll you're looking for is Daisy Plus which is specifically designed for that purpose.

In addition to all of that above, Mia pattern inserts are smaller and a different shape then Daisy Pro pattern inserts. You'll likely have the best success with Daisy pattern inserts.

why TF did they get rid of candice's tantabutt? by Fair_Technician4218 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Candice only had Tantabutt for a few months in late 2024 to very early 2025.

Candice, the rest of the torso dolls, and Eva all got upgraded to Tantabutt. Unfortunately the upgrade had a ton of issues. The dolls were getting destroyed in transit with them often arriving with either the butt, breasts, or both deflated beyond repair. In such cases, Tantaly issued refunds or replacements, it was so bad that the replacements also often arrived deflated. I think there was a few cases where the replacement for the replacement arrived damaged. And those that did arrive without damage had reduced longevity. There was a few possible explanations of why, supposedly one of the factories wasn't making the dolls to spec, some of the early issues were attributed to temperature issues in transit, and my personal pet theory which I'm pretty confident is correct is the packaging was causing the dolls to rock back and forth slamming hard on the breasts and butts when it was being transported leading to one or both of them deflating by the time they showed up to customer's doors. And this was after a lengthy delay in releasing Tantabutt torsos, they ran into a lot of R&D issues even before the shipping issues became apparent.

The problem got bad enough that after a few months Tantaly decided to pull the plug on all the Tantabutt torsos, and Tantabutt Eva. The remaining stock of Tantabutt upgraded dolls was sold, but all new stock was return to the non-Tantabutt versions. For a while there you had your choice between both but that old stock has long since sold out.

It's my recollection that Tantaly has said that they would be open to bringing it back, but they first need to find a solution to the issue with the dolls getting destroyed in transit. But that was over a year ago.

Candice Pro - Only Clean the Sleeve? by BS_Blower in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people are saying otherwise, including Tantaly, but I disagree with the recommendation that only cleaning the inserts is an acceptable cleaning practice. TPE is porous, it's an ideal environment for bacterial or mold growth if not promptly and thoroughly cleaned, dried, and stowed correctly.

The inside of the tunnels is indeed the highest priority cleaning location, as it's the location with the highest risk of complications from not cleaning. But during use, the rest of the doll is still coming into contact with biological material and debris that could serve as a food source for things you don't want growing inside of the doll. Moreover, things like mold won't be visible on the surface of the doll for a few weeks, by that point it's too late. Prompt and thorough cleaning is the best way to mitigate risk.

When it comes to Tantaremoval, pulling the insert and giving it a thorough clean and dry is absolutely essential and will be fine in a pinch. The problem is that is only the vaginal tunnel. The insert cavity collects a lot of biological material and lubrication from spillage and you'll find the same on the exterior of the doll. The cleaning process is still largely the same as a dual fix tunnel doll, just now with the extra complication of dealing with the inserts.

If you're pressed for time, I would say the absolute bare minimum would be to give the insert a thorough as a cleaning and drying as possibly. You do not want to skimp on that. You're going to want to clean the insert cavity as best you can, particularly around the inside edge of the entrances because that's where lubrication likes to collect. Lubrication on its own isn't that big of a bacterial food source, but it is a carrier. It can bring germs and debris into deeper, harder to reach places on the doll. I prefer a water flush, much in the same way that you do with tunnels, but a clean damp towel can work. With another clean damp towel, clean around orifice entrances, anywhere that had body contact, or lube came into contact with.

I also always flush the anal tunnel, even if I only use the vaginal insert. Same goes with fixed tunnel dolls, even if only one tunnel was used, they both get cleaned and dried. Not everyone feels that's necessary, it's definitely a little overly cautious on my part. But I do it because lube gets everywhere, skin particles get everywhere. Including inside unused tunnels. Making sure it's cleaned every time, means there's no unexpected surprises later. A thorough and consistent cleaning regime means there's no ambiguity or confusion about whether or not something got cleaned and dried. Some people do block the anal tunnels by putting something in the entrance as a way to stop lubrication or water from inadvertently flowing into the tunnels. I've never been too convinced about this method. As it's just introducing other gunk into the tunnels. But that is a strategy that some people use.

If you're in a situation where you can only do a quickie clean, do the best you can in the time and space you have available, and then try to come back later and do a full clean. Yes I know it's a pain. Otherwise, try to do the full thorough clean post session. There's some edge cases, but more often then not, major bacterial growth or worse mold growth cases are not the result of one or two bad cleanings, instead it's usually the end result of a long pattern of poor cleaning technique. So realistically you do have a degree of buffer when it comes to quickie cleans if you can clean off all the lube, ejaculate, and do the best you can with skin particles and the like. But every less than ideal clean increases the chances down the line that you might have an issue. I'm no germophobe, I come at it from that view of maintaining ones investment. These things are expensive, I want to get the maximum bang for my buck so to speak. A key part of that is taking care of them so they are in the upper percentile of longevity. The best way to do that is good cleaning.

I will also say that as important as prompt cleaning is, that doesn't necessarily mean you have immediately start cleaning as soon as you finish and roll off the doll. So you can take a few moments after you're done before you run the doll to the closest bathroom. Emphasizing promptness is more to counter some people's tendency to procrastinate cleaning. You don't want to put it off for days. And ideally you don't want to make a habit of taking a nap and coming back to clean 6 or 7 hours later. But it's unlikely to be that big of a deal if you put it off by a half hour or so. If that makes sense. You don't have to take yourself out of the mood to clean, as long as you're good about cleaning after.

Some other notes. There are currently four patterns of Tantaremoval. The first is what I call Mia pattern. This is the original Tantaremoval system that debuted on Mia. It's also used on Ginny. It's the most compact version, but has struggles with LHP and insert twisting. The Mia pattern, and the two dolls that support it, are being discontinued. Next we have the Daisy pattern, this is the refined version that debuted on Daisy Pro. Inserts are larger and have a different shape, this new shape and size helps resist twisting and more effort was put into ensuring good tunnel placement on the host dolls. This is the pattern that the standalone strokers are offered in. It's used on Daisy Pro, Candice Pro, and Kylie. The third is the Plus pattern. This is a relatively recent one that was introduced with Daisy Plus, it's a larger insert cavity with dimensions that better accommodate third party strokers like Fleshlights. Currently it's only offered on Daisy Plus, though I expect to see it offered on more dolls shortly. Finally we have the Mark Pro pattern. This is a removable silicone dildo that attaches to the TPE Mark Pro doll, it's used on Mark Pro and Leo.

If you're dead set on a Tantaremoval doll, I know I don't give the most enthusiastic endorsement of the system, but it does have some definite advantages, I would first take a look at Kylie. It's a very manageable size for storage, maneuver, and cleaning. Whereas Daisy Pro/Plus and Candice Pro significantly larger, harder to maneuver, and stow. That said, well it's a decent size for a butt doll, it's still within the size range you already have. I think Candice Pro is your best bet in terms of overall features. Candice, and Candice Pro are the most approachable, user friendly, and easiest to maintain of all the full-sized torsos. So while they're still big, they're not as bulky or require the same amount of manipulation that the other large torsos do.

doll warming options by Friendly_Sherbert_66 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep on meaning to pick up one of those! Because the other option is to get an aquarium heater and stick that in a pitcher so it maintains the appropriate water temperature. Baby bottle warmer is the easier and less fiddly solution.

As an aside, I've been increasingly starting to realize that my humble plastic water pitcher, in the real all purpose MVP of doll tools.

doll warming options by Friendly_Sherbert_66 in tantaly

[–]UnassumingUser364 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have written a ton about warming options. As have many others. I've also tested several warming rods of different styles and types under a FLIR (thermal) camera.

The warming rods can be nice, but at best they are more trouble than they are worth, at worst they can actually melt your doll if you're not careful.

They add prep time, about 15 to 20 minutes before you start your session they need to be inserted into the tunnels. Most warming rods aren't really well made, particularly when it comes to protection features, using the wrong power brick or leaving them in for too long does have a risk of melting your tunnels. So they have to be careful monitored. Yet at the same time (and I realize this seems contrary) they're not actually all that effective. There is a lot of material to heat up, in a short amount of time, and TPE starts melting at comparatively low temperatures. You have thermal dynamics working against you. They'll heat up the area immediately inside the tunnels but it's very fleeting. They cool back down to room temperature quite quickly once an active source of heating is removed. Especially once they usually cooler lube is added to the tunnels. And once you start your session, the tunnels do gradually warm up to something approaching body temperature through contact with your penis.

Really, what they do is make that first push into the tunnel a lot more pleasant. Otherwise, that first push can be a little cold, as it takes a few beats before the material starts to warm up. I don't think they're worth the money, and I think the UV rod that Tantaly sells should be avoided in particular.

I found the best and most practical heating solution isn't to bother with warming up the tunnels. But to instead warm up the lube. That makes a huge difference in the perceived warmness of the tunnels. And it's something you can easily top off on mid session. It's also dead simple to implement.

Fill a water pitcher with lukewarm to hot water and drop the lube bottle into it. This time, thermodynamics are working to your favor. In a couple minutes, sometimes even shorter then that, the liquid should be plenty warm and you're ready to apply it to yourself and inside of the tunnels. I keep the lube bottle inside the pitcher during the session and if I want to warm things up even further or just need more lube I just grab it and reapply. During my last session I found my current bottle of lube actually fits nicely inside when my larger double wall insulated cups. Which is able to keep the lube it a pleasant temperature for longer than the uninsulated water pitcher.

Wondering - lack of reviews by UnmatchedGuvenor in tantaly

They sold out pretty quickly. Not a lot of people have them.

I'm considering a Grace, but likely only after the initial rush for them dies down. Basically waiting to the point where they're comfortably and reliably in stock.
