Learn how to use and care for the discontinued Tantus 3 Scoops textured silicone dildo, from lube choice to cleaning and storage, with tips for its ridged shape.
Quick answer
Use plenty of water-based lube, go slowly to get used to the 3 Scoops' textured ridges, and wash it with warm water and mild soap before and after every use. Store it separately from other silicone toys to keep the surface smooth.
Why the 3 Scoops shape rewards a slower approach
The 3 Scoops is a textured silicone plug-style dildo with pronounced ridges, so it is not a toy you thrust quickly right away. The ridges are designed to provide texture or rest points during play, which means the most comfortable experience usually comes from letting your body adjust to each contour before moving deeper. Rushing past the ridges is the most common reason people find the toy uncomfortable on a first try.
- Start with the smoothest part of the toy and only add depth as you relax.
- If a ridge feels sharp or irritating, stop and add more lube rather than pushing through.
- Because the 3 Scoops is discontinued, check the silicone surface for any tackiness or damage before each use; a damaged toy should not be used.
Lube and material compatibility for silicone toys
The 3 Scoops is made of pure 100% ultra-premium silicone, according to the catalog. Silicone toys generally pair best with water-based lubricants, because silicone-based lubes can degrade silicone surfaces over time. If you want longer-lasting glide, test a small amount of silicone lube on an inconspicuous spot first, or stick with a thick water-based gel that cushions the ridges.
Step-by-step: using and caring for your 3 Scoops
- Inspect before every use: Check the entire silicone surface for tears, tackiness, or residue. Wash it with warm water and mild soap, rinse well, and dry it completely with a clean towel. Never use a silicone toy that feels sticky or shows damage; set it aside.
- Choose a water-based lubricant: Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to the toy and to yourself. Reapply as needed, especially around the ridges where friction concentrates. If you only have silicone lube, do a small patch test on the base first and wait a few minutes before using it fully.
- Start slowly and breathe: Begin with just the tip, using gentle pressure and slow breaths. Let the first ridge pass before adding more lube or depth. Do not force past a ridge if you feel sharp discomfort. Discomfort that feels sharp or burning is a signal to stop, not to push through.
- Use the ridges as rest points: The 3 Scoops is designed for texture or rest points, so pause at each ridge and let your muscles relax around it. Small, slow movements are more comfortable than fast thrusting. If you want to thrust, keep strokes short and controlled so the ridges do not catch.
- Clean thoroughly after use: Wash the toy with warm water and mild soap, paying attention to the grooves between ridges. Rinse until the water runs clear, then dry it completely. A soft brush can help clean between ridges without scratching the silicone.
- Store separately and dry: Keep the 3 Scoops in a clean, dry pouch or box away from other silicone toys, direct sunlight, and heat. Make sure it is fully dry before storage. Storing silicone toys touching each other can cause surface damage over time.
