The Sasha Grey Deep Throat Pocket Pal is a masturbatory device that can be used for several purposes. It can be used as a simple masturbation tool to create a very nice blow job sensation. Additionally, it can be held by your partner while her mouth is busy else where and she can use it on you. And one other idea that we enjoy is using it during strap-on sex. In this case, while she is using the strap-on on me, she uses the Deep Throat Pocket Pal to jerk me off. This works great. It is like getting taken in the ass while being deep throated.

The Ultra Realistic 3.0 material (UR3) and Sil-a-gel materials used to make this product do have a very realistic feel to them. It is silky smooth to the touch especially when using lubricant. It does have a strong odor, but it smells somewhat like a fruity candle or something semi-appealing. So, while it is a bit overwhelming at times, the smell is pleasant. Inside the deep throat pocket pal are several ribbed contours which heighten the stimulation when the toy is in use. And the mouth opening has a tongue and lips shape that are clearly molded off the real deal. This gives the mouth opening a very realistic quality and the insertion of the penis into the opening nearly captures the distinct pleasure of having one's penis thrust into the mouth of a real live mouth. While nothing can fully compete with the real thing, this is likely as close as a toy can come to achieving this sensation.
The package does state that it is Non-Phthalate.

The design of this toy is quite ergonomic. It is easy to hold in the hand as it is made in a cylindrical shape with hand grips. The pocket pal is about 6 inches long and only has the front opening (which they say is to create a super-tight suction). And while it wouldn't have hurt to make the toy a little longer, the material at the back of the virtual throat is flexible enough to expand quite a bit. Strangely, it is a little bit erotic to watch the head of your penis stabbing against the material inside the pocket pal. The toy should work perfect for users with any length penis. The material seems quite flexible and even if the entire penis does not fit inside of the virtual mouth, it still feels quite amazing. And I don't expect anyone will have trouble inserting his penis as the opening is tight but quite flexible. It will feel snug but seems to expand as needed while maintaining a tight suction. The opening really creates a realistic sensations and the ribbed inside helps to suck the orgasm right out. The first time I used it, I came very quickly.
The toy is not very large, so it could easily be concealed in a suitcase or in a backpack for travel. It would take up about as much room as a can of soda.

I highly recommend using a condom with this toy as it will be difficult to remove all of what is put inside of this pocket pal. The opening is not large enough to allow a thorough cleaning should you shoot your cum directly inside. And while it seems like much of the lubricant washes out when cleaning, I would far prefer stale lube to stale cum while using a toy. To wash it, I simply rinsed water in through the mouth opening and then poured it out. After repeating this process a few times, I reached in with a cloth and wiped up as much as I could. But fully cleaning the inside does not seem manageable with out ripping the mouth opening.
According to this website, the UR3 material is "extremely porous, making it difficult to clean and easy for germs and dirt to hide. So protect them with a condom. Skin-like materials are extremely sensitive; they should be cleaned before and after every use with warm water and toy cleaner or antibacterial soap. These toys come dusted in a powdery material to maintain their unique texture, clean the toy thoroughly before first use. After each use, clean again and dust with a little cornstarch (not TALC which has been linked to cervical cancer) before storing to prevent the toy from becoming sticky. They should be stored individually in a dark, cool place. Store each toy separately in a plastic zip bag or thin sock because the porous surface can absorb dyes from other materials. These materials are also very incompatible with many substances. Contact with silicone-based lubricants, oil or petroleum based products will cause damages to the surface of the toy. Use only water based lubricants."
While it says on this site only to use water based lubricants, the packaging suggests that you could also use Doc Johnson's i-lube which is silicone based. For cleaning instructions, Doc Johnson states, "Wash with mild soap and water, avoid harsh detergents, alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners. To dry, blot gently with a soft cloth (not paper towels), or use Doc Johnson's toy cleaner. Be sure inside cavities are completely clean and dry."

As for storage, I would recommend letting it dry and then putting it back in the bag it came in (and possibly back in the box as well). This will keep off dust and limit how often you smell the toys smell (even if it is quite pleasant). Doc Johnson recommends,"Once surface is clean and dry, it is ready for use. If you so desire, you may apply talcum powder to your UR3 item using a soft brush or cloth... but this is not necessary. You should avoid contact with other products. Do not rub or lay against sharp objects, abrasives, or other rubber products. Keep item out of direct sunlight as material and/or color may fade with prolonged exposure."

By far, the best experience I had with this toy is while my wife was taking me in the ass with a dildo while simultaneously jerking me off with this toy. What an intense sensation!
