Have you ever seen your partner shocked, dismayed and completely confounded? I have finally seen Sigel completely without words, except for "That's wrong....soo very Wrong!" From the moment we tore into the mailing box and caught a glimpse of his newest girlfriend he was shaking his head and mumbling to himself. I think it's love...

The Asuka Love Pillow is a new Japanese import brought to you from California Exotic Novelties. (Upon learning that this was a Japanese import Sigel sighed disappointedly and asked why it couldn't be some used panties?) She weighs in at about 18.5 oz. and inflates to 44.25" by 12", not exactly life size as the box extols but substantial never the less.
She arrives in a box that is not at all discreet but is very pink and girly, you know the whole anime thing, (Sigel says anime-esque and tried to explain the difference, unsuccessfully ending in a mumbling of "it's just wrong...there's no way...you just can't...").
On the front of the box in yellow writing with purple background are the words 'Asuka Love Pillow' and '5 deep love passages'. There is a picture of the masturbator and the doll blown up, definitely NOT discreet.

The masturbator is removable and can be used independently. It is TPR, rather soft and sticky, and easy to penetrate for any size penis. It is still porous so use of a condom would make cleanup easier and extend it's useful life. It's easy to clean with some warm water and soap, let it dry fully before storing. This sleeve is sticky so you will want to store it in a plastic bag or a separate box to avoid it looking like your cat had some fun with it while you weren't looking. (Oh come on you know they do.) The inside is ribbed for his pleasure but unless you are hung like a horse you aren't gonna get much out of them, they are too soft and the sleeve is way too big. As Sigel put it, "The sleeve is ok, It'll get you hard but it's not good enough to lead to orgasm because it's simply not tight enough on the right spots even if you use your hand and not the doll."
It's quite a trick to get the masturbator into the five slots on the doll but we managed it with some water based lube poured into the plastic "holes" and stuffing the masturbator in.
The doll is made of plastic and smells strongly of love, or for you less romantic types; sickly sweet, plastic strawberries. It has a standard nozzle to blow her up, and has a picture of prepubescent little Asuka on the front of the vaguely human shaped pillow. She has long black hair, a startled look on her face, a beautiful set of breasts and no body hair. She isn't exactly anatomically correct having neither one crease or anything but a suggestion of nether lips.

None of the 'love holes' is anywhere near her mouth, vagina or ass. One is located between her feet; there is one on either side of the toy, one in the back of the toy and one on the bottom. All but the plastic sleeve on the bottom of the toy are connected to each other making cleaning (some warm water or a toy cleaner will do) easy should you decide not to use the masturbator or a condom. Again water based lube is the best bet for ease of cleaning, though you could use silicone on the plastic if you desired. If you want to use silicone based lube on the masturbator a patch test is recommended.

The doll looks like one of those punch bag dolls for kids, except there is no base to hold her up. Sigel moaned, "You've given me so many hours of excitement anime and now I can't even get into the spirit of the thing, I just want to punch her." Then he wondered if California exotics will make a blow up octopus for some blowup tentacle porn...cause there are five orifices...
Maybe California Exotic could include a anime movie with the doll. He wants to try filling her with helium, he opines that it would make her 'come alive' and if she were covered in flour it would look like a ghost in some of the movies he's seen. He felt she'd be great for a bachelor party, where five drunk guys could have at her!

The box suggests that you could use the doll without the masturbator but in Sigel's words "It was ludicrous to use the toy without the sleeve, there is no friction what so ever. The feeling of plastic on the dick is not fun..."

After 25 minutes of struggling to get the sleeve into the bottom hole the sleeve does balance and allow you to punch your new girlfriend...She will indeed bounce back up.
The Fleshlight slipped into the pillow can provide the best experience, since the other holes can provide a hand hold.

This was the most fun we've had testing a toy together even if he was constantly saying he wasn't sure he liked being a toy tester.

I can't say that my feelings about little Asuka have changed although she doesn't smell quite as offensively like plastic strawberries. It's still there, that awful smell, but it has lessened or we've become used to the reek. She doesn't get much use and lives in the closet. Every once in a while we take her out and show friends which usually gets a few laughs. For the real enthusiast this has held up well to moderate use, we haven't thrown her around or abused her in any way. Generally she sits in a chair looking slightly scared when she's out of her closet perch.
This is a great gag gift but as a serious sex toy...well it's terribly difficult to take her seriously!
