This Doc Johnson masturbation sleeve is for larger than average men. The interna1 depth is very close to 7", with a width of close to 3". The material is thick and strong enough making this an ideal candidate for hands free thrusting. I prefer to use my hands with a sleeve, so I did not test it out by wedging it between cushions or the bed mattress, as many men have suggested with other sleeves.

Stimulation is consistent along the shaft and head of the penis. I would prefer a little more stimulation of the head. You can manually do this, but a bit less girth at the open ended sleeve would have been nice. Also, because there is so much stretch to the sleeve, you can have your head pop out as often (or not) as you want, and this will provide more stimulation to the head.

Because this sleeve is open on both ends, there is no suction, at least that I felt. I myself have not tried this trick, but some members of the EF community have recommended adding a condom to the ouside of the sleeve to add some suction. It does provide the opportunity for your partner, or yourself, to have more control of the stimulation. Personally, I like to do less work and let the sleeve take over for me!

The material is UR3, rated 2/10 on the EF safety scale. The UR3 is extremely porous and should never be shared. I recommend using a condom, even when you are the only user to prevent possible infections. UR3 attracts dirt and bacteria which can hide in all the hidden nooks and crannies of the sleeve.

The sleeve arrives coated with a powdery substance that must be completely washed away before use. For future uses, you need to wash both before and after use. When storing for the next use it is mandatory that the sleeve be clean, dry and dusted with cornstarch (no substitutes) to prevent the sleeve from becoming sticky and causing surface damage.

I like the feel of the UR3. It is not the real thing, but comes pretty close. Soaking it in a bowl of hot (but not so hot that you burn yourself) water for several minutes before use adds to the natural feeling. Lubrication is necessary and only water based lube is safe. The material is latex free, but does contain PVC and silicone.

The UR3 is thick, soft and dense. It has stretch and the flexibility to return to shape after use. There is a faint, rather pleasant odor to the sleeve which does not distract from usage.

The internal canal is made up of evenly spaced circular ribs. Good stimulation can be felt the length of the shaft. At the head, I would prefer a bit of tightening and some different/more stimulation. You can help this along manually by using a firmer grip, and/or playing with the head by forcing it to pop out.

This sleeve has no electronics or moving parts, making it ideal for sleeve virgins, as well as post graduate sleeve fellows. It is a simple sleeve, but I say it has something for everyone, and everyone can benefit from use. It is an ideal solo toy or for partnered play.

The color is a medium brown, darker than most Caucasian colored sleeves; 7" in legnth and depth, almost 3" in width, outside circumference of 9", and a weight of 1.3 lbs, making it almost as heavy as a Fleshlight. The outside dimensions may make it difficult for small hands to use comfortably. I found that by using both hands, I was able to maneuver the sleeve over my penis with ease.

I love the size of this sleeve. Being somewhat above average in size, it is tough to find a nicely made and large enough sleeve. This sleeve has the stretch and flexibility, so that I think it would work for men at the upper range of average, and men up to probably 8" in length, and 3" (or more) in girth. Of course, it goes without saying that longer men would find themselves popping out the end of the sleeve. For some guys this is a plus, and some guys find it a negative. It is all a matter of personal preference.

This sleeve can travel with you wherever you go. It is not at all discreet so if you are easily embarrassed, pack it in checked luggage. If you put it in a carry-on, TSA will likely be as uncomfortable as you, and will just give it a cursory look and wave you on. They won't remember you and you won't remember them, so do as you please.

The exterior sleeve is both textured and slightly flared near the entrance point. Both of these features makes it easier to maintain control, even if some lube gets on your hands or the outside of the sleeve. The flared end prevents slipping and banging your balls, something none of us want to happen.

Because water based lube is the only safe lube, this sleeve would probably not work well in the bath or shower.

Again, it is important to wash before and after each use with either a toy cleaner, or some soap and warm water. After use, be careful to dry completely, and then dust with some cornstarch (again...no substitutes) before storing in a plastic bag. Each toy should be bagged separately to prevent other silicone toys from sticking to each other and causing damage. There is no latex, but the sleeve is made from PVC and silicone, requiring attention to cleanliness and storage. Also, no lubes other than water based.

The sleeve arrives in a cardboard box with printing in Spanish. There is a large and very clear picture of the sleeve with the replica of the vaginal opening very clearly displayed. In Spanish, it says, "UR3 vagina with deep penetration" (profoundly deep!). Beneath that it says in English, "deep penetration pocket pussy". There is no margin of error to mistake what this item is used for! I would say that those words make up the instructions, what more is needed?

My review would not be complete without mentioning the Mrs. She is doing well, thank you all for asking. This month I am in the clear with her, so no need to bribe her with an EF gift (which is already on its way anyway), so I decided to do something nice for myself. Mrs did not participate in the testing of this product, but may at some future date. I feel like such a manly man now. None of that woman stuff, but I like that just the same.
