For Valentine’s Day this year, I decided to try out a few new things with my boyfriend. I had been thinking about getting him something to enjoy when I am not in the mood, on my period, or if he isn’t staying over and wants a bit of action. After looking through the male masturbators, I decided on The Tube.

The Tube is made up of UR3 material, or Ultra Realistic 3.0. This material is very porous, which causes it to hold onto bacteria and germs much more easily than a harder material. I would think using a condom with The Tube, as well as washing it gently before and after use, would keep the material safe enough for use. The material has a fruity scent to it, which is pretty pleasant. I can’t smell any chemicals on it unless I put it up under my nose. The inside is covered in soft ripples, which my boyfriend describes as feeling somewhat similar to a vagina, but at the same time its own thing.

The length of The Tube is about six inches. I can stretch it to a little over a foot, though I don’t think it really needs to go that far. It is about 1 3/4 inches diameter, with about 3/4 of an inch in diameter for the hole. It can stretch to around 5 inches in diameter. Pretty much, this should be able to hold any man’s penis.

The Tube slides on with pretty much no effort. I make sure to rub the inside with lubricant, by turning about 1/4 of it inside out, and rubbing lube in there. I put my finger over the other end, and squish it all together to fully coat it. I also rub some on his penis to make sure everything goes smoothly.

With just a little pushing, The Tube slides right onto his penis. He enjoys it when I use it both fast and slow, as well as using it to just massage his shaft while I massage the head of his penis with my other hand. He says it feels almost real, as well as tight, though not too tight.

When he seems to be just about ready to come, I put my hand over the end of it, and squish it over his head, which he says makes it feel better towards the end. It also helps keep all of the mess inside The Tube and not all over the place.

It is pretty easy to clean out The Tube. I put it in a sink full of warm water and soap it up with some gentle hand soap. I turn the ends out a bit so I can get all the way in there. I wouldn’t turn it all the way inside out too much, because that will cause it to tear much more quickly. I usually dry it off with some paper towels, so I don’t get any lint on it from a towel. Paper towels can also be more sanitary. I always store The Tube in its original packaging, which is just a plastic package that snaps closed on three sides.

I definitely have to recommend this product. It’s cheap, and according to my boyfriend, very satisfying. Because of the material, it will eventually wear out, but that really is something to expect with any toy.

The Tube is a smash hit with my boyfriend. I told him we should keep it at my house, for the nights when I am too tired or am on my period. He agreed. A few days later he woke me up rummaging under my bed for it, saying he was taking it home. I think he's used it every night or every other night for the past couple of weeks. I'm not sure if I will ever see either him or The Tube over here at night again.
