Sex Toy Review: The Tantric Namaste Massager

by Coleen Singer.

New from California Exotics Novelties  The Tantric Namaste Massager is a 3 speed pure silicone, semi waterproof vibrator with a variety of patterns. This toy is no powerhouse of vibration or size queen, but has many great qualities, including its unusual shape which makes it look like a modern art sculpture.   On the box, it states “10 ways to find Namaste”.  The Namaste™ Massager is compact size (just 3 ½ inches) and very light weight.  Small enough to tuck into your purse or carry-on bag, as it’s a nice option for travel. The “artsy” design probably takes away from it being “Discreet” to airport security screeners, but its offbeat enough, not to draw a crowd of shocked onlookers!

Namaste Massager has 10 functions of vibration, pulsation and escalation. This little guy is great for shallow vaginal penetration and the tip is soft and flexible making it useful for clitoral or other sensual stimulation. The Namaste™ Massager has an easy touch button control with a glowing LED light and an auto-off button. It’s made of body-safe silicone and has a silky smooth Satin Finish™, one of the now standard features on many CalExotics sex toys and pleasure products.

The Namaste claims to be waterproof, and it is for the most part, but I found that the battery cap came off a little too easily so would recommend a lot of caution using it in the bathtub or shower as, if the cap pops off and water enters the unit, I suspect it might harm the motor and circuitry inside. Because this toy is made from silicone it should only be used with water based lubricants, as silicone lubricants may harm the finish of the toy. This toy should also be stored away from other silicone items.

Let’s take a look at one of my favorite CalExotics Sexpert couples, Chuck and JoAnn Bird in one of their always entertaining and lighthearted video posts about the Namaste Massager:

Coleen’s Test Drive:
When the Tantric Namaste Massager arrived at my doorstep for review, my eye was immediately drawn not to the packaging (which is a little too “busy” and hard to read), but to inside the box where was nestled what looked like some sort of post-modern work of art (or maybe a miniature Lava Lamp?). Once out of the box, it was all very intuitive to load up the batteries and run the massager through its 10 functions with the easy to control single button that cycles through the processes. One thing that was a tiny bit creepy was that when operating, it has a blinking light at the base which would render this toy pretty “non-discreet” if used in a tent while camping, or in a darkened airliner cabin. 🙂 But, off to the actual test drive I proceeded…

I found the Nanaste to be a comfortable fit for my hand and very easy to control. It really is not long enough for any G-Spot stimulation, but did a great job at shallow vaginal stimulation. The nicely designed tip also made it great for clitoral stimulation. It doesn’t have a lot of horsepower as a vibrator, but the pinpoint accuracy of the tip lead to a very pleasing orgasm in no time at all! I haven’t tried this yet, but this toy simply screams out for anal use on my hubby the next time we hop into bed for a little shared toy play. I absolutely feel silly wearing a strap-, but Jack (like most men) likes a little pegging now and then so I suspect this will be just the thing for a little prostrate play. Stand by for updates on that experience!
