Unless you're Mr. Ed this thing is almost all but useless. It works as a simple pump but barely. The rubber flap used for insertion is just sad, it is just placed into place and isn't even a little snug. Water just flows right out. Not to mention the hole you're supposed to use as a safety pressure release is just that, a hole, the water flows right out and leaves a great big mess.I ended up using a piece of tape over the hole because it was such a hassle to keep one finger over the hole the entire time.

Forget about the snappy 'sauna' feature. Using it as a pump itself is quite a task, your penis ends at inch (x) while this thing keeps going to like a foot and a half. It's ridiculous, you have to stretch yourself just to be able to reach to pump this thing. Maybe a thinner, bigger endowed guy would disagree, but either way, if you have to be a skinny gymnast with a big package to use a product I'd say it's not very well developed. No pun intended. lol

One thing i can say is that it's easy to clean. Its just a plastic tube with a rubber flap that disassembles without even trying.You just gotta be careful to pump it a few times right there and then in the sink after you wash it because water gets inside the pump mechanism, and if you're not careful it will pour out someplace you wouldn't want water all over.

I have had or should I say had this product for a good 2 months, but i just ended up throwing it away. It wasn't even worth the place it was taking up to store. It was an interesting novelty the first dozen times using it,but it just turned more into a painstaking task than a pleasurable experience.

As far as pumps go i think basic is the way to go. If there's a novelty to it, it's probably just that, a novelty best fitted as a gag gift.
