Buying the Torso:

On the Website, there are many photos and gifs aswell as size charts and other information about Aurora, this is the same for all other torsos that I have thought about. On the top of the page, there are pictures of the doll drom different angles and perspectives, aswell as a picture about how it is packaged. On the very bottom of the page, there is additional information containing the vaginal and anal structure Tantaly is better than your average seller of sex toys, it does a good job in consistency, information display and page design, however, I think that the upper sections should contain some sort of hint toward the lower sections, as these can be missed since the usual buy features which would normally be at the very bottom are in the middle of the page. This is obviously something minor. Overall, Tantaly earns 5 stars from me in this category.

Shipment:

Tantaly offers a free shipping service via UPS or (I believe) FedEx. The shipping itself went fast and without issues in 5 business days (excluding saturday), so it was even slightly lower than specified, which is impressive. Also, directly after buying, the Tantaly webpage for order confirmation showed an estimated day of arrival, which ended up being right! The package arrived with some smaller indentations in the estimated time frame given by UPS, though I assume that these dents were UPS‘s fault due to the package being so heavy (31kg) and none of them damaging whats inside or causing other issues. The bright orange packet from Tantaly was undamaged, however, the styrofoam that was holding the dolls shape had a long rupture throughout the entire lenght of it. It was still in one piece though, and the doll which was further protected by an undamaged soft plastic film was also undamaged. I believe this rupture is just something unavoidable with heavier packages being held in place by styrofoam, so no complaints. The black storage bag which was under the orange packet is pretty flappy, which surprused me because I was expecting something heavy duty, especially because it‘s meant for transporting the torso yourself after having opened the package. If I ever have to move places and take this toy with me, I will probably use the original orange package under the black bag for some extra stability, since I seriously doubt that styrofoam aline can hold the full 25kg of the toy. Maybe it was meant to be done this way, oh well. Altogether, I can‘t complain about the shipping, especially on Tantalys side, 4/5 stars. Room for improvement in my first impression guided opinion is stabilizing the storage bag somewhat.

Looks and feels of the torso:

Now we are getting to the actually important parts. Aurora has the figure of a fit girl, which is supported by her barely visible abs. She has a slim shoulder width and clearly visible calves, the very round boobs nicely fit into the overall upper body. They also slightly poke out from behind, as in you can see both sideboobs barely from behind, which is scaled perfectly in my opinion. The boobs are also not saggy at all, they hold up extremely well and feel not as soft as initially expected, but are still a pleasure to play with. When putting your hand on them, it dives into them with just the right amount of resistance, slightly firmer than a real boob, but again, perfect nonetheless. One small imperfection on the boobs is that on their „upper base“ they are much more firm, about the firmness of the rest of the body. I didnt notice this while playing with her, but rather during reposition. Moving on, her back and her belly look absolutely awesome. The back has visible shoulder blades, which are sadly not part of the integrated movable skeleton, like the calves just for show. I will come back to this and the skeleton later on. Her back has a slight trapezoidal shape if this is understandable, a pretty much straight line goes from the shoulders down to the slimmest point of the waist, which looks awesome too. This is even more visible from the back. Now, lets get to the main point of critique from many reviews of her that I saw: the butt. Tantaly wasn‘t able to integrate the Tantabutt technology in Aurora 2.0, which means it is made out of the same TPE as the rest of the body. This wouldnt be a big issue if this material was more or less soft, but it isn‘t. The TPE used on Aurora is pretty firm, which is overall a Great thing as it allows easier handling of the torso. The butt however feels unnaturally hard from it. This is a point of critique many have made and I agree, though Tantaly knows this and is likely working on making Auroras butt softer to the touch. I would like to add something though that I have seen nowhere else mentioned yet, which bothers me honestly more than the hardness. The butts shape. Auroras hips are pretty huge compared to her waistline, but the curves combining them still look natural, the butt however is unnaturally „long?“ It sticks out pretty much only away from Aurora in one direction, additionally, both the transition from waist to butt and butt to thighs could use some work to make the curves flow more. Now I do like how the hip circumference is larger than the bust, and I believe Tantaly should keep this, however the overall lower body form could use some of the butts mass being redirected to the side of the hips to allow a more round shape of both the butt to hip aswell as butt to thighs and waist. From the front though, her hips look phenomenal, her pussy is slightly puffed and is just about accessible from the back. As mentioned before, the curves from the front view flow really well all over the body. Aurora posesses a beatiful thigh gap too! Moving her legs together closes her labias, and offers a pefectly sized thigh gap to use instead. When spreading her legs instead, both the vagina and anus open. Auroras thigs look superb! A common occurence I’ve seen while browsing sex torsos or dolls is that the thighs dont have the right size compared to hip and butt while remaining a round shape, but Auroras thighs are literally perfect. Overall, Aurora is sold as life sized, but for this she is very petite. Her boobs are pretty big compared to her upper body, and they fit easily into my hands, which aren‘t large at all. Though, petite is still life sized, and I have to say that I have a very tall body for my weight (60kg at 183cm, that‘s 132 pounds at exactly 6ft) I mentioned earlier in this section that I will be going over the skeleton too. Aurora has a movable inner skeleton, which allows moving of legs in all natural directions aswell as moving of her spine. Both are very hard to move though, and require quite a bit of strenght to do so, but I assume that they will loosen a bit with time and usage. Moving the legs allows for tightening of the vagina and anus, which is neat. I do have one small point of constructive critique: the calves, shoulder blades and other bones could be a part of the integrated skeleton, giving larger stability, realism, and maybe even allowing for some weight and material reduction since no TPE needs to be used under these hard structures, you wont get to feel whats under a bone structure like that. Also, if something like a ribcage is added, the inside can be used for some heavier weight reduction on the upper body and therefore a shift in the center of mass of the torso downwards, which would allow for greater control in cowgirl-related positions with Aurora on top. I believe there is still some stuff to be done regarding Auroras body for future upgrades, especially her butt bothers me a little, but I can‘t give a bad rating because of one detail, as the rest is honestly phenomenal. I will give 3.5 of 5 stars for Auroras looks.

Details:

Aurora has a detailed skin texture all over her, that looks and feels realistic. However, on some small parts the texture is missing for some reason, for example on her side from the armbase down to the upper hip just after the waistline. This doesn‘t bother me much though, as thats a place where you won‘t look much anyway. Auroras nipples have a nice pinkish make up, which sadly fades after one longer use + washing, but can be reapplied yourself. The pinkish colour is also present on her labia, though when spreading her legs as far as I‘m comfortable doing, she has some very pale spots that wouldn‘t be visible otherwise right next to them. For future upgrades, maybe some manufacturing procedure can be created that a second, pinkish coloured TPE can be added in these parts so that makeup doesn‘t have to be reapplied for the eye candy. Still, Auroras detailing is impressive, 4.5 stars.

Using Aurora:

Aurora is pretty heavy with her 25kgs, and this is something you don‘t really grasp until you actually receive the package, or try to change positions. It can sometimes be quite a workout, but she isn‘t completely immovable, far from it infact. You just need to find the spots where you can carry her safely. Auroras vaginal tunnel feels absolutely incredible. It is more firm than your average sex toy, aswell as being pretty tight, with the small bumps and tightenings adding to the experience. Her anal tunnel also feels great, but I prefer vaginal as the bumps are more noticeable. I spent probably more time cuddling her though, a thing where the extra weight comes in handy, I just wish I wouldn’t have to awkwardly bent my neck to be able to nurse while cuddling. Aurora feels incredible, and there isn‘t much to edit or improve when it comes to using her. I‘ll give a full 5 stars!

Cleaning Aurora:

Due to her weight, you can expect that it‘s a hassle. And it is. If you don‘t have a sink that is laege enough to fit her, you can try to clean her in the bathtub, or while you yourself are showering, though keep an eye on not using a more aggressive soap. I have to add that washing her is the worst part of the job, powdering and oiling is easy and is faster than you might expect. For a toy her size, the cleaning could have been worse though, and Tantaly offers high quality instructions on cleaning and maintenance, so I will give 4 of 5 stars.

All in all, I rate Aurora 2.0 4/5 stars.

The reason I‘ve tagged this post as a discussion is because I‘ve added some solutions to my points of critique, and I wanted to know what you think about them. Do you think they could solve some of the issues, or do you have other ideas? Do you perhaps have your own torso which has some aspects that you would like to be seen improven upon, and if so, how? Since users from the company seem to be very active in this subreddit, they will definitely see and aknowledge constructive criticism, and maybe we can even discuss together. Thank you and well done for staying with me for all lf this post!
