This is a fairly straight forward product to use. It's not especially messy, unless you tend to use a whole tube of lube in one masturbation session. Still, the way I started with it was to put a towel on the bed and lie on it with my back propped up with pillows, so I could watch. A little lube on the cock and a dribble of lube in the hole and I slipped myself right in. The material it's made of is a little squishy, which may be a bit off-putting to the kind of man who is used to a rigid grip on his cock, but to my mind, the squishiness makes it more lifelike. I used very slow strokes, pressing it all the way down against the base of my cock, brought it back up again until I was almost out of it, then down again slowly. I didn't jack off in the typical way with quick up and down motions. It's not meant for that; again, the squishiness kind of forces you to slow down. Towards the end, I just gripped it tight while thrusting up into it, imagining I was throat-fucking my wife. I didn't have to apply any more Astroglide other than what I put on at first, but your mileage may vary depending on what you're using. My masturbation session lasted between ten and fifteen minutes, but could have went longer. The device really forces you to slow down and take your time, and that's a good thing. You want to appreciate the sensations, and when you do have your orgasm, it will be strong.

As I wrote above, the material feels soft and squishy, like nothing else I can think of. Foam rubber isn't really a good comparison because it's too rigid. The best comparison might be those rubber stress balls that you squeeze with your hand. This has the same kind of soft feel to it. I could see myself "pumping" this to "relieve stress" while in the office. The exterior is unremarkable, but the interior is ridged, and there is a tongue-like hump at the bottom of the mouth, complete with taste buds.

I'll admit that because of the way it looked, this wasn't my first choice. I was going for something more life-like. But as I browsed the store, I kept coming back to it. The promise of a realistic blow job experience, complete with tongue and taste buds, sort of sold the item for me. When I got it, the look wasn't as disturbing as I thought. The mouth even kind of looks like a puckered mouth, or anus if you want to think of it that way. The lips around the opening even have a realistic lip-like texture to them. It's about the size of a hoagie roll and fits perfectly in the hand. The entry hole is small, so much so that the first time I looked at it, I wondered if I was going to be able to fit my cock in there, even with lube. The material is so soft, any size penis will fit this device without any pain or discomfort. It isn't open at the other end, so I don't know how that would work for a John Holmes, but again, the material is so soft it might not matter. You won't be jamming your penis into anything hard. Once the device is on, it fits pretty tightly, though again without any discomfort.

The first thing I noticed is that the sucking sounds it makes are rather loud, but also realistic. In a dorm or apartment environment, couple this with some loud moaning and you could probably convince your neighbors that your getting the best sloppy bj of your life. Slowing down the action reduces the slurping sounds, if you feel a need to be quiet. I actually found the slurping kind of exciting. Overall, it performed better than I expected in terms of the whole package of sensations--visual, auditory, and tactile. It might look a little weird out of the box, but it makes up for it in its attention to what matters: how it feels going up and down on your cock.

I used Astroglide, a water based lube. That's all I use with any toy, or even with my hand. I don't like the stickiness of KY. Astroglide seems to last longer, too. It doesn't come with any kind of carry case or container for storage, so I keep it in a gallon ziplock bag. I put it in the bag, roll it up to squeeze out any air, and seal it tight. It's a good fit for a suitcase, overnight bag, etc. I'm not sure how conspicuous it will be to the TSA agents at airport security, but chances are, those folks have seen weirder things. I haven't had it long enough to see how it holds up over time and repeated washing, but here's how I have cared for it so far. After use, I turn it inside out and simply rinse it with warm water, no soaps or detergents. I'm the only one who is ever going to use it, so as long as I can rinse the cream filling out, I'm happy. After rinsing, I turn it right side out again and prop it up on a towel to drip dry for several hours. It seems to shed water pretty effectively, though, so when I checked it in the morning prior to putting it away, I couldn't tell it had been wet at all.

The box is all, or mostly in Japanese, and isn't meant for storage. Throw it away. The packaging isn't even all that exciting, so if I had seen this in a brick and mortar store, instead of online, it probably would not have attracted my attention.

I could get attached to this sweet little thing, despite its initial unattractiveness. The experience using it is definitely realistic and intense, even if it isn't visually all that stimulating. For someone looking for the physical experience, rather than the visual, I'd suggest giving this a try. It's cheaper than many of the best quality realistic vaginas, and if it turns out you don't like it, you're only out $20 bucks rather than 30, 40 50 dollars or more.
