Don't get the Tantus Stroker unless you like your handjobs insanely tight and with very intense ribbing. Oh, and no suction. Just a warning.

You might want to consider sending them to a sex toy recycling center instead of the landfill. Here is one place, incase you are interested:

I will be posting a follow-up for my review on the slipinside #1. We gave it many more tries but my husband just does not like it, at all. We found another use for it though

My ex loved the slipinside as well, and liked it more than any other sleeve he tried. I think it's a simple and easy route to go, as far as toys for boys. There are so few options, and this one seems to get consistently good reviews.

3 More comparisons:
Vibratex's Sidekick #2, Vibratex's Maven, Tantus' Stroker





--- Vibratex’s Sidekick #2 (Adventure series)

Extremely easy to clean because it can be flipped inside out within 2 seconds. It is about 2x easier than Sidekick #1 and Tantus Stoker and x3 easier than the Maven.
Extremely stimulating when rubbing up and down (Turning, not so much, because they are circular ribs).

Very light weight, so I can see this being highly portable.
A small length sleeve, and not overly thick compared to most. It could seriously collapse and fit in your pocket.

Feels even more durable than the Stoker silicone sleeve (and especially more durable than the Maven which feels like it could melt by just putting it in the sun).
Doesn't peel off like the Maven.

When I am rubbing it up and down fast enough, it basically feels a little bit like vibrator is going all over, because of the ribs! An extremely pleasuring (almost numbing for a few seconds, haha) feeling indeed!

This thing also works great in water with silicone lube. Because the 1 end is open it was the first I actually observed the sight of ejaculating under water in my pool. This was an extremely interesting image that I had yet to see, because the Sidekick #1 is longer and is closed (but one could modify the #1 and cut off the end and/or make it shorter)





--- Vibratex’s Maven (Classic series)

Came with a powdery substance all over it, which was hard to wash off at first. (I guess to preserve it).

A little difficult to turn inside out without stretching it too much (already feels like it is going to tear, and looks like it too…).

When I do turn it inside out, there are small tears everywhere around the bumps.

Has a few minor indents on the outside, which will probably eventually start to split it after some use.

Not as stimulating as I hoped for. It is more stimulating than DJ’s Tube Love Glove and the Sue Johanson’s Head Honcho, but not as mush as the Stroker, or Sidekick #1 and #2.

Not durable at all! Not only does it feel like it is going to tear, and is extremely flimsy (any bulky), this thing peels off when using it! As soon as the lube starts to get a little sticky, you might start to feel some burning. Pulling it off revealed all these flakes that were part of the material and stuck to my penis! That was a boner killer right there.

Way too thick - To the point that I cannot orgasm from it. I got close after a while, but when I was trying to work up to it, and trying to squeeze tighter, the thickness of the material just wouldn't give, and I could hardly feel any pressure of my vice grip I am putting on the sleeve.

Way too soft - Because of this, the stimulation isn't nearly enough as I thought it would be. It is similar to how soft the Head Honcho is, which is way too much for me.

To top it off, the sound it makes when rubbing, is kind of like if I was to be slapping my penis in mud or something... its way too "squishy" and loud, just making it feel awkward to me.
At least the Sidekick #2 sounds like you are playing an instrument when using it (almost like some kind of playing a keyboard in a tunnel with an echo, lol)






---Tantus’ Stroker:

This one has me on the fence. It is better than the Maven, but not as good as the Sidekick #2 (or #1).

I could orgasm from it, but it would take a little longer than using one of the Sidekicks.
The fact that it is silicone means its going to last a while, but the stimulation is not as good as all the ribs in Sidekick #2. (Although I do find it more pleasuring than the Maven)

Although since it is silicone, that means no water play unless using an oil based lube, or olive oil (Or if I find a silicone lube that works 100% with Tantus toys, and doesn't just become absorbed/dried up)

Also, the 4 ribs are a little rough, but not friction rough... just more so than the average sleeve. But with lots of lube, it does start to feel really good!

This sleeve is the one that provide the most unique and different sensation compared to others.

Speaking of male masturbation toys, I would recommend that you do not try the Tantus C-Ring.
I bought the beginner one (2 inches - which was the largest) and when trying to get this damn thing around my balls, it hurt extremely bad just from trying to push them through. No it wasn't any hair pulling (fully shaved everywhere down there) and there was plenty of lube, but the fact is they just wouldn't push through because of how tight the ring is -- Seems that silicone doesn't stretch at all.

Even if I managed to get it on, I cannot imagine having to wait for the erection to subside to take this damn thing off, because there would be no way I could get it off without seriously hurting myself.

I think I will stick to using rubber bands!
