This Textured Sleeve is a male masturbatory aide. Since I am not male and therefore do not possess a penis, I enlisted the help of my partner for this review. First of all, he says that he would not recommend this toy for men with decent girth. He himself has a very thick member, and that made it a little bit awkward to use the sleeve. Since I was there when he used it (it was a one time use toy) I was able to help. Since he is uncircumcised, it would be uncomfortable for him to just slip right into the sleeve. We found that it was easiest to put on if he held his foreskin in place while I stretched the sleeve and gently settled it around his man junk. He also says that he recommends this toy more for circumcised males, I think just because it pulls on the foreskin a lot. It's just meant for smaller girth, really.

This soft sleeve is made of TPE. The texture really does feel great. The inside of the sleeve has tiny soft nubs for added stimulation, while the outside is ribbed for gripping. The material itself is hypo-allergenic, latex free and phthalates free. It's so soft, and feels really nice against bare skin. My man really liked the material, and suggested that I find him another sleeve with the same material, but in a larger size. It has a light scent, but it is very pleasant and resembles perfume more than rubber.

The sleeve itself is about 3 1/2 inches long (and can be stretched further). It is about 2" in diameter, and has a hole just over 1/2" long on each end, and the entire circumference is about 6". Since my partner has decent girth, the holes on both sides are now a little bit stretched out looking, but he says that it will be more comfortable in the future because of this.

I would suggest this as a beginner toy for someone less experienced, as it is very easy to use and not so intimidating. The material is very comfortable, and it's a great starter toy.

This sleeve is great for when I want to give my man a hand job. To me, this seems like the best use for it because he needs help putting it on comfortably, and it makes it easier on me. Technically, this sleeve isn't supposed to be reversible, but I flipped it inside out and tried using the ribbed side on his penis, and he said it was actually more enjoyable than the other side.

The sleeve came with a small one-use bottle of lube, and we quickly used that up. Because of the soft slightly-absorbent material of the toy, we had to use a decent amount of lube to make it comfortable to use. Luckily, we have quite a collection of lubricant!

The toy itself actually didn't end up doing much for my guy. He enjoyed it, but in the end he opted for some good old fashioned sex to get the job done. Like I said, it's more of a beginner toy, and it just didn't do enough to bring him to climax.

Although this material is compatible with all kinds of lubricant, I would suggest only using water-based lube with this, as it is the easiest to clean. All of the lubes that we own are water based, but that is just my personal preference. To clean it, I simply washed it out with antibacterial soap and warm water. The dual holes make it pretty easy to clean and reuse. Since the sleeve itself is relatively small and discreet, I simply keep it in a Ziploc bag in the box it came in, with a sprinkling of corn starch (recommended for TPE toys).

The toy came in a plastic bag inside of a cardboard box that has Japanese writing on it. The only thing that it says in English is "Enjoy!". It also has a picture of a scantily clad Japanese girl on the front of the box. It also came with a small bottle of water based lube, meant for one use.
