Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals Review

I got the chance to review some items on my blog as a part of the Eden Love's Bloggers Program I had been lusting after the Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals for awhile now. I had heard so much great stuff about them and even smelt them at home parties before so I was glad to see that Eden carried them as well. At one point Eden offered these in three scents:Ocean,Aphrodisia and Lotus Flower, I am reviewing the Ocean. Shunga is known for their aromatherapy products from oils to bath soaks. 

What is it & What does it do? 

The Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals are designed to help relax sore muscles as well as help you relax with the aphrodisiac. They are made of salt crystals from the Dead Sea, the ocean sent was calming and very relaxing. Remember the cool bath tablets we had as kids that turned the water colors? This is a grownup version, I used very little of the  Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals an it automatically turned my bath water a light blue and bubbles started to form.

What's Included in the Set & Packaging?

The reason I called this a "set" is because you get the canister that holds, 20oz of the Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals, a floating candle and a perfect seashell for scooping out the bath salts. When you get the bath crystals they come in a black and gold tin, there is a red ribbon with a charm like oriental design hanging from it. Upon opening the canister you don't have to worry about the crystals leaking everywhere or anything like that from shipping. The Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals can be found inside a plastic bag that you can you open and dump it into the canister or leave it in the bag. On top of the bag you will find the seashell for scooping out your bath crystals and the candle. Nothing about the packaging screams "sexual item" you'll find a picture of an oriental man and woman, the label is black with white writing.

Ingredients:(INIC)Dead Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate, Fragrance, Glycerin, Carthamus Tinctorius, Prunus Dulcis.

I loved the way this smelt and the scent stuck to me which is one thing I like when using bath soaks. 

As you can see above the candle floating in the middle, I don't recommend you bathing with the candle in the tub but it does set off a relaxing romantic feel. You could always set the candle on a mirrored plate with little marble stones to make it pretty or cutesy :) 

Sadly this has been discontinued from Eden which I was worried would happen :( Glad I was able to snag these for review when I did. I absolutely love them even though I don't bathe that often I prefer showers over sitting in a bath. 

I give these a 5/5 ratings

Tantus Curved Dong

As a part of the Eden Loves Bloggers program I was given the opportunity to choose 2 items that totaled out to be $50 in value. I chose the Tantus Curve Dong, as one of my items. I also requested the Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals as my second item, I got those in Ocean Scent the review for that will be in another post.

Pros                                               Cons

                      Silicone                                     No Bullet Hole         

G-Spot Curve                                     

     What Is It & How Is It Used? 

The Tantus Curve is a dildo that can be used by male or female, for vaginal penetration or anal penetration. With the curve at the top you can get G-Spot or P-Spot stimulation. If you are into using harnesses for strap-on play the Curve  can be used for male and female sex for double penetration or for female partners who like penetration. The Curve doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles and doesn't vibrate. Since there is a flared base making the  Tantus Curve safe for anal usage without having to fear that it will get lost inside your anal cavity.  Since there aren't any mechanical components to this toy you can take it into the bath,shower, hot tub or pool if you wished. There really is no limits of where you are able to use the Curve. You can get the Curve, in 3 different colors:Midnight Purple,Black and Purple. I got mine in Midnight Purple.

Material & Texture

The  Curve is made out of 100% body safe silicone, meaning that it is nonporous,hypoallergenic,phathalate free and can be sterilized. The silicone of the Curve is smooth with very little drag when it runs along your skin. On the underside of the dildo you will find around 5 ribs that go down the shaft for added pleasure. Since silicone is a nonporous material you don't have to worry about using a condom when sharing amongst different parts of your own body or partner sharing. I would still recommend cleaning or using a condom if you plan to share in the same session. Silicone also doesn't hold on to bacteria that can cause infections which is one reason why I get all my toys made out of silicone.  This particular dong is pretty firm but flexible.

Design/Shape/Size

The Tantus Curve is designed for G-Spot or P-Spot stimulation, hence the curve at the end of the dildo. With the ridges down the shaft it helps add pleasure and amazing sensations when in use. This is a simple shaped dildo that has a slightly life like head for easy insertion. As mentioned earlier in the review this is anal safe and harness compatible. The  Curve has a wide base at the bottom with the Tantus name stamped on it. 

The Curve measures in at:

6 1/2  Inches Long

5 3/4 Inches Insertable 

4 1/2 inches Circumference 

1 3/8 Diameter 

 With the size and shape of Curve I wouldn't say he was very travel friendly if you were going to be traveling by public transportation. If you were to fly with him and your bag was searched they would know what the Curve was used for. If you share a home with someone or you frequently have people over an you don't want them knowing of your toys this is one you would not want out in the open. The Curve isn't a very discreet toy. 

Packaging

The Curve comes in a clear plastic package that states it is made of 100% platinum silicone. The packaging is nowhere near discreet as you can see the toy from the outside. It also states that Tantus makes the world's softest toys for adults. I beg to differ on that statement though ;)  The packaging that the  Curve comes in can be used for storage if you wanted to but it isn't a very sturdy package. If giving this as a gift I would wrap it up nicely in wrapping paper. Since the package is made of plastic you could easily recycle it as well if you didn't want to use it for storage. 

 Care & Maintanence

Caring for your Curve is pretty simple since it is silicone there are several ways you can clean it as well as sterilize it. 

To sterilize your Tantus Curve you can either boil it in a pan of water on the stove for 3 minutes, toss it in the top rack of your disherwasher without dish soap or soak it in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. If you don't wish to sterilize your toy you can simply spray it down with an antibacterial toy cleaner and wipe clean. Another way to clean your Curve is by washing it with hot water and soap. 

Since the Curve is made of silicone it is recommended to use ONLY water based lubricants with it. 

Experience

Overall I enjoyed the Curve from Tantus, I just wish it was more squishy like the Vixskin line that I have fallen in love with. I did get great G-Spot stimulation from this. I didn't feel any drag in the silicone which is always a plus :) 

To get your very own Tantus Curve you can click on ANY of the links in this review to get to Eden Fantasys.

I was provided the Tantus Curve FREE of Charge from Eden Fantasys.
