XtoysMina Taro Silicone Dildo Review: Fuller Size, Clever Base
Editor's opinion
The Mina Taro is a body-safe silicone dildo built around a versatile suction cup base that works on smooth surfaces or in a harness. Its soft-but-supportive feel and fuller 11.5cm girth suit those already comfortable with a substantial size rather than complete newcomers.
The Mina Taro sets out to be an all-rounder: a single silicone dildo that can stick to the shower wall, sit on the floor or slot into a harness, with a glow-in-the-dark finish thrown in for a bit of fun. That is a lot of jobs for one toy, and mostly the design supports them.
What a buyer really needs to weigh here is size. At 15.24cm insertable and 11.5cm around at its widest, this is a fuller toy, so the honest question is not whether it is well made but whether the dimensions match your experience and comfort.
The good and the bad
What works
- Body-safe, non-porous silicone that is easy to clean thoroughly
- Suction cup base grips smooth surfaces and fits most harnesses
- No batteries or charging to think about
- Soft, yielding surface with enough firmness to stay supportive
- Glow-in-the-dark finish is a genuine novelty, not just a gimmick
What to be aware of
- An 11.5cm circumference is a lot for beginners
- Silicone body rules out silicone lubricant
- Suction only holds on genuinely smooth, flat surfaces
- No vibration, so purely a manual toy
Buy it if
People who already enjoy a fuller size and want a versatile, hands-free-capable silicone dildo for solo or partnered play.
Skip it if
Newcomers or anyone who prefers a slimmer insertable. If this is an early purchase, look for something nearer 8 to 9cm in circumference and build up from there.
Design and materials
The Taro is made from liquid silicone, which is non-porous, hygienic and easy to keep clean. The brand describes it as oil-treated for a lifelike surface, and the material combination is aimed at a soft, skin-like give with enough internal firmness to stay usable rather than floppy.
Because the body is silicone, one rule is worth remembering from the start: pair it with a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants can react with silicone toys over time, and while the surface is described as oil-treated, applying additional oils as a lubricant is not the same thing and is best avoided.
The suction base and harness use
The flared suction cup is the most practical feature here. On genuinely smooth, non-porous surfaces such as tiles, glass or a sealed floor it anchors the toy for hands-free use. The catch, as with all suction bases, is that it needs a clean, flat, truly smooth surface to hold; painted walls, grouted tile lines and textured finishes will not give a reliable grip.
The same flared base slots into most strap-on harnesses, which makes the Taro a sensible dual-purpose choice for couples rather than a solo-only toy.
Size and fit
This is the part to be honest about. Total length is 18cm with 15.24cm insertable, and the circumference reaches 11.5cm at its widest. That girth is the number that matters most: it delivers real fullness and suits someone who already knows they enjoy that.
For anyone newer to insertable toys, this is not the place to start. Plenty of water-based lubricant and a slow, unhurried approach are essential, and even then the width will feel considerable to those not used to it.
Care and cleaning
Silicone is straightforward to look after. Wash before and after each use with warm water and a mild toy cleaner, paying attention to the base and any contours where residue can gather.
Store it away from other silicone items, as silicone can sometimes react against silicone in contact. Stick to water-based lubricant to preserve the surface, and the toy should last well.
How it compares
Against a plain silicone dildo, the Taro's advantage is the suction base doubling as a harness attachment, giving you two use cases in one purchase. The glow-in-the-dark finish is an extra flourish that most rivals do not offer.
What it does not do is vibrate, so if buzzing stimulation is a priority you would want a rechargeable silicone vibrator instead. And if the 11.5cm girth is the sticking point, the same category has plenty of slimmer options that keep the silicone body and suction base while being far more approachable.
The bottom line
The Mina Taro is a well-specified, body-safe silicone dildo whose suction-and-harness base makes it genuinely versatile for solo or partnered use. Recommended for those already comfortable with a fuller size who want one adaptable toy, but newcomers should size down and build up rather than start here.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Mina Taro suitable for beginners?
Not really. With an 11.5cm circumference it is a fuller toy aimed at people who already enjoy a substantial size. Beginners would be better starting with something slimmer and working up.
What lubricant should I use with it?
A water-based lubricant. The silicone body means silicone-based lubricants can degrade the surface over time, so water-based is the safe, long-lasting choice, and using plenty of it is advisable given the size.
Will the suction cup stick to any surface?
Only to genuinely smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces such as tiles, glass or a sealed floor. Textured walls, grouted tiling and painted surfaces will not give a reliable hold.
Can it be used with a strap-on harness?
Yes. The same flared base that provides suction is designed to fit most strap-on harnesses, so it works for partnered play as well as solo use.
How do I clean and store it?
Wash before and after each use with warm water and a mild toy cleaner. Because it is silicone, store it separately from other silicone toys to avoid any reaction between materials.
