Let me start off with saying I really do not have any favorite quality of this toy. It was a huge let-down for both of us and we will be sure to look for a much better pump. It really does not work for its purpose at all; massive leaks in both the base and the pump itself make this a hard-to-use item.

The pump arrived in the usual box with a few of my other items and the typical long brown sheet of packing paper. The packaging for the pump was a very large, glossy box with a picture of a male model on the front and back. Inside was a molded plastic tray with the pump nestled inside.

The pump is a smoky black/grey color and is very see-through; great to see your erection if you happen to get it to work right for you. The hose, sleeve, pump and quick release are a black color, not too fancy, just functional. I found that this toy has no strong odor or taste.

We tried this pump out with lubrication hoping to create better suction, but it proved to be of no use. I think that perhaps if he had a baby smooth shave it may have had better results, but we will have to see how close to the razor the hubby is willing to be to try that one out.

When we were able to get an OK suction, my husband said that is was more like a very gentle sucking feeling; like a suckle more than anything else. I tried putting a bullet up to the sleeve and up to the shaft of the pump hoping for some stimulation. Although it was felt, it was not strong.

Made from plastic in the shaft, and perhaps a silicone in the sleeve, this is a super easy to clean pump. I used a very mild anti-bacterial soap to clean it, then put it in the dish strainer to dry. It dried with no water marks or damage. I would suggest a water-based lube if possible, since I am not sure what type of material is in the sleeve.

Our experience with this pump was a total let-down. I wound up pulling the pump off and sucking on it with my mouth in order to get a better suction just for the pleasure it would bring him. I suppose after a little tinkering it may be better, but so far not so good.

Yay! Ok, so we gave this bad boy a second chance and made some changes first. A good shave and a bit more lube and he was in business! Much more satisfied with this purchase now.
