The Solo Slider is designed for stimulating the penis with a sleeve and vibrations. It is nice used in this manner, but my husband preferred to either use the sleeve alone as a masturbation sleeve and the bullet in his vibrating cock ring or have the sleeve inside his penis pump for added stimulation.

I enjoyed the view, though it took a bit for me to get used to the blue color. I gave me an interesting visual of a Smurf penis. My husband found absolutely no humor in that statement, though. The bullet was the keeper of the set. Rumbly, mid range vibrations are hard to find in a bullet--hard would be the key word in this statement!! I wanted to 'borrow' it, but my husband knows me too well and kept it to himself.

This was a fun experience for his solos and our couple play. Finding an alternative use for the components was half the fun.

Solo Slider's masturbation sleeve is made of Cyberskin, a soft, plush and very stretchy material. Cyberskin rates a 2 on the safety scale due to its porous nature and tendency to trap bacteria and dirt within its pores and inability to be sanitized, eventually making it unsafe for further use. This had a very strong odor when removed from the box. I rubbed our flavored lube on it and then washed that off to remove the odor. This works wonderfully and does not transfer the aroma to the sleeve.

The material has a wonderful drag that adds stimulation, though water based lube is recommended to prevent chafing and soreness. The Slider has internal ribs, these ribs are a bit small and the plushness of the material made them less stimulating than they should have been. There is a smaller band near the top that does 'grab' the penis and adds some stimulation.

The bullet and controller are made of hard ABS Plastic that has a metallic chromed finish. The finish does wear off with time, our took about 3 1/2 months of prolonged use. The overheating from using it during our extended play sessions might have contributed to the finish eroding.

The bullet is attached to the controller with a longer cord and has a strong, semi-rumbly vibration. The vibrations travel nicely down the sleeve, but we used the bullet in our vibrating cock ring most of the time.

The Slider is 6" overall and is 2" diameter at the largest area. The bottom 5" is a larger cylinder, meant for the penis to be inserted. Unstretched, the diameter is about 1", but it will stretch up to 3" internally. This cylinder will also stretch to about 7 1/2" long.

The top has a smaller bullet sleeve, about 1" long that does continue internally about 1/2". This houses the bullet and is very tight to keep it in place during use. We were very tempted to use lube when inserting the bullet, but did not to prevent it from shooting out while using the sleeve. That may hurt your partner!! Especially if it hits her in the face, trust me, I know!!

This is a decent item for travel, depending on what you may have available for storage. The Fun Factory storage can is perfect for this sleeve, bullet, a spare battery, small lube and vibrating cock ring. We do enclose the Eden wipes for easy cleanup as well. If you do not have the can, we have used an empty baking soda can, clean Pringle's can or shaving kit case. Make sure you store the sleeve by itself in a zip lock bag!

The function of the sleeve/bullet combination is to enhance your solo or couple penis stimulation with vibration. The sleeve does that, but it also can produce a tickling sensation that is not too pleasant. This has happened a couple of times to my husband when he was not quite ready for increased strength on the bullet.

The sleeve is a decent masturbator, but the up and down motion can be a bit of a challenge with the corded bullet in place. According to my husband, the internal ribs flatten out a bit once the sleeve stretches to fit the penis. This does decrease the sensations from the texture and if the vibrations continue too long, it can also make the penis a bit numb, starting at the head. This will delay ejaculation and can also cause a bit of soreness.

He does prefer to use the sleeve in his penis pump as a stimulator sleeve for masturbation. Insert 3/4 of the sleeve then wrap the remaining 1/4 of sleeve carefully over the end of the pump cylinder. We hold it in place with a leather lacing that I tie extremely tight above the lip of the cylinder base. You will have to retie this a couple of times, but the feeling is very incredible--and I have seen the evidence!

The bullet is controlled with a hand held controller that is attached by a 24" cord. The controller has a battery door on the back and runs on a 9V battery. It does last for about 12-14 hours and has a high level of power for that duration. When the battery gets weak, though, it shuts off without warning. We have used the bullet so much that it emits a serious and loud high pitched squeal when it gets warm. Other than the squeal, this is a very quiet bullet.

To change vibration patterns, there is a silver heart-shaped slider button on the front. You slide the button down to the corresponding number of the pattern you desire. These are very close together and it is easy to bypass your favorite setting.

The patterns are: 1.Low steady pulsing - 2.Medium steady pulsing - 3.Rapid steady pulsing - 4.Medium steady vibration - 5.High steady vibration.

Remove the bullet by squeezing the sleeve together at the tip of the bullet and pushing up. You will have to do this a few times but it will come out. Wash the sleeve in warm water with antibacterial soap and rinse well. Let it air dry and then go over it with a toy cleaner. We Use Zero Tolerance's Foaming Masturbator Cleaner since it works well and claims to sanitize porous masturbator material. Again, let it air dry to prevent lint pick up.

Wash the bullet in warm, soapy water and rinse well. Go over it with a sanitizing cleaner and dry it off. Make sure not to get water in the plug at the base where the cord goes in. When both items are completely dry, store the sleeve in a plastic bag with a bit of cornstarch. This prevents sticking and tacky material.
Store the bullet in its own bag and place in a small storage container.

Do not store the cyberskin material with other products. It will leech out dyes from surrounding items and get severely discolored. If it is stored with other items, it might absorb them if it 'melts'. It may also have a chemical reaction and degrade the material making it unsafe to use. Use ONLY water based lube with this item!!!
