My fiancée and I got this to spice things up. When we received the order, we were surprised at how large the sleeve actually was. The sleeve comes in a box that has seductive photos on the outside, making the packaging not very discreet. When you open the box, the sleeve is stored inside a plastic bag. Along with the toy came an instruction packet that outlined basic cleaning practices and a small packet of powder. The powder is meant to be applied after cleaning, before storage. It should help preserve the material of the toy from any moisture damage. The ingredient list for the powder is just corn starch. They claim more packets of the powder can be purchased, but as far as we could see EF does not offer it. I imagine you could just purchase corn starch at the store and it would work the exact same.

I chose this sleeve after reading the reviews on a few EF offers. This seemed to have the highest rating. This is the first sleeve I’ve purchased, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The sleeve was much larger than I expected it to be, like I mentioned. Not large as in the inside, but the bulkiness of the toy itself. The sleeve is quite difficult to maneuver with one hand. Since it is soft and doesn’t have any plastic surrounding it for support, two hands are needed to use it. Also, it should be noted that this toy is not travel friendly, unless you are willing to sacrifice the space for a shoe. The material, according to the website, is the closest material to human skin. The material is silky, but my fiancée didn’t actually like the feel of it. She said she could feel her fingerprints when she touched the toy – that being said, I know some people are sensitive to the touch of materials, so keep this in mind if you are considering this toy.

This sleeve, as I assume most do, requires a lot of lube. It was quite difficult to insert my penis into the opening. I would say I am average girth, so I can foresee some men having even more difficulty. It is important to be completely hard before trying to insert yourself into this sleeve, given the lack of structure. Once you get started, you aren’t able to pull out and reenter as easily as you would an actual vagina, which was disappointing for me. You have to keep yourself inside the toy and move the toy just the right way for it to feel good.

All in all, this was a good toy for the price. Many sleeves can be pretty expensive, so this was a nice price range to try as my first sleeve. It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but that is no fault of the manufacturer. I can imagine that if someone has had these types of sleeves for a while, why this one would be underwhelming. For more experienced purchasers, I would recommend going for something more exciting. One thing I want to mention, which most first time sleeve users may not automatically think of: be careful when standing up after using this toy (if you were laying down to use it). The sleeve is hollow to allow for better cleaning, meaning there is a hole on both ends. We didn’t realize this and once I stood up, my semen came right out of the other end all over the floor.

Also, if you’ve been reading other reviews, you’ve probably noticed that many people mentioned not getting attached to the coloring on the toy. That is correct. The pink tint on the clitoral part of the toy came off in the first use, making the entire toy just the beige color.

Honestly I haven't used this toy since the first time trying it. There are other options out there, and a lack of structure and variety with this sleeve. Granted the price was good for a first time sleeve, but if you want something to keep your interest long term, I would consider getting something more sturdy or an upgraded brand/style.
