Upgrading to the Tantaly Aurora 2.0 has been a fascinating experience for me, especially after having spent considerable time with the Candice 1.0. If you’re considering this model or are curious about how it compares to other Tantaly offerings, this detailed review will guide you through every aspect of the doll. I’ve broken down my experience into sections, each rated on a scale from 1 to 5, to give you a clear picture of what to expect.
Introduction and Disclaimers
First off, let me clarify that this is an entirely independent review. I’m not affiliated with Tantaly in any way, nor have I received any compensation, discounts, or incentives to write this. This is purely my honest opinion based on my own experiences. This is also not my main Reddit account, as I value my privacy and wanted to keep this review anonymous. If necessary, I can provide proof of purchase to validate my authenticity as a customer.
Now, let’s dive into the review.
Shipping
Speed: 5 / 5 Aurora 2.0 arrived at my doorstep within just 3 days of placing the order, which was a pleasant surprise. My first doll, Candice, took about a week, so this speedy delivery was a welcome improvement.
Discreetness: 3.5 / 5 While the outer box was indeed discreet, the discretion ends there. Once you remove the outer box, Tantaly’s branding is plastered everywhere—pictures of the doll, sexy images, and even the words “SEX DOLL” on accessory packaging. This isn’t ideal for those of us who value privacy. Tantaly could benefit from offering a completely discreet packaging option at checkout.
Quality of Packaging: 4 / 5 The doll was secured in form-fitting styrofoam, tailored specifically for the Aurora 2.0. Larger dolls come with a silky storage bag, but this bag is quite delicate and prone to ripping, which was disappointing. Handles on the exterior box for easier lifting would also be a great addition.
Shipping Recommendations for Tantaly Consider offering an option for completely discreet packaging that removes all branding, images, and references to “sex doll.” Many customers, myself included, would greatly appreciate this.
Doll Appearance
Overall: 4.5 / 5 Aurora 2.0 is an absolute stunner straight out of the box. Her fair skin is detailed and soft, surpassing the quality of my previous Candice doll. She looks best lying on her back, with a tight, sexy stomach and well-sculpted hips. The openings are visually appealing and add to the overall allure.
Tantabosom Breasts: 5 / 5! The breasts are truly something special. While videos and photos don’t do them justice, in person, they feel incredibly natural, especially in missionary. The way they move adds to the immersion, making it easy to fantasize without the need for external stimuli like VR porn. These are a massive upgrade from Candice’s breasts.
Butt: 2.5 / 5 Here’s where things take a slight downturn. Aurora’s butt, in my opinion, doesn’t live up to the rest of her body. It’s stiff, lacks jiggle, and looks somewhat disproportionate, particularly in doggy style. Candice’s butt was much better in terms of both feel and appearance.
Size Realism: 4 / 5 While Aurora 2.0 is taller than Candice, she’s still quite petite. The term “life-sized” feels a bit generous, but she does pass as life-sized, especially considering she’s designed with a smaller frame likely influenced by the average body size in China. I’m from the U.S., and I think a slightly larger size would have suited my preferences better.
LHP (Love Hole Placement): 3 / 5 Aurora 2.0’s LHP is decent but not perfect. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it’s clear that the holes aren’t in the most anatomically correct positions, especially in doggy style, where the anus is where the vagina should be. This isn’t as much of an issue in other positions, but it’s worth noting that Candice had a much better LHP.
Appearance Recommendations for Tantaly
- Use Candice’s LHP as a benchmark for future models.
- Improve the butt’s appearance and feel, potentially with the rumored Tantabutt technology.
- Consider offering scaled-up versions of current models to cater to those who prefer larger dolls while maintaining the same proportions.
Using Aurora 2.0
Sex: 4.5 / 5 Despite some minor issues with her anatomy and size, Aurora 2.0 provides a fantastic experience overall. Both tunnels feel amazing, and her weight adds to the immersion, making the experience more realistic than with Candice, who was lighter and smaller. Missionary is particularly satisfying, with the Tantabosom breasts adding to the realism. However, her petite size and the less-than-perfect LHP prevent me from giving her a full 5 stars.
Weight (No Rating, Just Notes) Aurora 2.0 weighs 54 lbs (24.5 kg), which might seem daunting, but I had no trouble maneuvering her despite not being particularly muscular. Once you get used to how her weight “behaves,” she’s easy to handle. Don’t let the weight deter you if you’re considering a larger doll.
Cleaning (No Rating, Just Notes) Cleaning is often a concern, but it’s manageable with proper preparation. Tantaly’s cleaning kit is essential, and with the right setup (a mop bucket, a chair in the bathroom), the process is quick and straightforward. It takes about 7 minutes, and if you approach it with a zen mindset, it’s almost enjoyable.
Accessories
Cleaning Kit: 5 / 5 The cleaning kit is a must-have. The water bulb with the nozzle is perfect for cleaning the tunnels, and the lube applicator is incredibly useful.
Drying Sticks: 1.5 / 5 These were disappointing. They don’t seem to dry the tunnels effectively, and I’ve found that a tampon does a better job.
UV Heating Rod: 3.5 / 5 A great concept with poor execution. It heats the tunnels and uses UV light for sterilization, but the lack of temperature control or a power switch is a major drawback. Be careful with voltage to avoid damaging the doll.
Tantaly Lube: 2 / 5 This lube isn’t the best. I recommend trying Sliquid’s “Sassy” instead, which works much better with Tantaly dolls.
Renewal Powder: 3 / 5 The powder works well but isn’t essential if you have baby powder on hand.
Overall Experience
Aurora Overall: 4.5 / 5 Aurora 2.0 is a fantastic upgrade and offers a very satisfying experience. While I had to adjust my expectations and take a break from porn to fully appreciate her, she’s become a wonderful addition to my collection. The nitpicks about her butt and LHP are minor compared to the overall quality and realism she offers.
Tantaly as a Company: 5 / 5 Tantaly continues to impress me with their innovation and commitment to customer feedback. They seem to genuinely care about improving their products, and it shows in models like Aurora 2.0. I’m excited to see what they’ll come up with next and will definitely continue to be a loyal customer.
If you’re considering the Aurora 2.0, I highly recommend her. She’s nearly perfect and offers an experience that’s both immersive and incredibly satisfying. Tantaly has once again proven why they’re one of the top names in the industry.
