These are made of soft, clear TPR, which is a Phthalates free silicone composite, with two different interesting textures, and a complete lack of unpleasant odors. One has a smooth surface with little nubs on the end, and the other is covered with tiny heart-shaped bumps.

What I love about these, and I do love them, is their simple design. They change the texture of your finger during manual stimulation. That's it. Also, if you have long fingernails, using one can keep your fingernails from scratching your skin accidentally, so that's also a plus. But other than covering your finger, they don't really do anything, and that's the beauty. They return the responsibility for self exploration and self pleasure back into the hands of the user -- literally.

Touch yourself exactly the way you like to be touched, and experience a slightly different sensation as you do so. The smooth sleeve with the short ticklers can be used for light teasing, but I really loved the heart-enhanced sleeve because it enables a little bit of fantasy. The slightly calloused hand of a lover, perhaps?

Cleaning is simple -- soap and water, or toy cleaner, then carefully dry it off and stash it in a little drawstring bag or change purse. Just keep the two sleeves from touching each other, or resting against other toys, as TPR toys can melt into each other or dent silicone toys. As for lube, don't use silicone lube with silicone toys, as the chemicals that keep the lube in a liquid state will attempt to do the same with your toys, resulting in a heartbreaking tackiness.

I highly recommend these, especially if you play with a lot of fancy toys. It's good to get back to basics every now and again, especially if you don't currently have a partner. I think it's important to assure yourself that you're not completely dependent on vibration to reach orgasm. Definitely five stars, and definitely highly recommended. These are quite possibly the best bargain you'll ever find on toys.

I only use these when my fingernails get too long, but the TPR silicone is still in fine shape and they beat keeping dishwashing gloves by the bed. There's still not a lot to say about them -- they're a simple product, they work, and they're cheap.
