The "Pussy to go XXL" is pretty straightforward and self-explanatory in its general usage (as far as virtual vaginas packaged in a can go). The gist of it, is that you remove the cap from the larger end of the tube, exposing the soft, supple, vagina, and insert the appropriately sized bodily appendages of your choosing. Granted, most people will choose their "manhood" for this task, but I must admit, the first part I ventured was my finger, just to explore the opening, texture, and stretchiness of the inner sleeve; of course, after experiencing how amazing this sleeve felt, Mr. Winky did not take long to follow.

Back around the other end of the tube, is a smaller cap which houses the On/Off push-button (for the integrated vibrating bullet). Removing this smaller cap exposes the housing for the required AA batteries (if you want to use the vibrating functions), as well as the other (open) end of the sleeve, into which the vibrating bullet is inserted to hold it firmly in place.

Although the "Pussy To Go XXL" (which I will just refer to as the "PTG" from here on out, as I am on a restricted syllable diet) may initially seem like a simple toy, with only a single proper usage, I've actually found it to be quite versatile! For example, I've used the "PTG" as a simple masturbator, holding it as an extension of my hand to jerk off with, let my wife hold it to give me a "hand"-job, positioned it between some pillows on top of the bed so I could go to town on it missionary style, placed it between the mattress and box spring of the bed, or the cushions on the couch so I was going at it from a kneeling position, set it upright on the table with a burning candle inserted into the opening of the vagina as a centerpiece while my in-laws were over for dinner... Okay, that last one never happened (mainly because I didn't want to put a lit candle in it and risk dripping wax on the inner sleeve and damaging it) but you get the idea.

I've got to say up front, that my wife and I are 'material snobs' when it comes to our toys. Almost all of the toys that we own (and at least regularly use) are pure silicone, with a few additional stainless steel or glass toys. Although we've tried some 'lesser' materials in the past (and I say 'lesser' in reference to safety, porosity, sterility, allergens, etc...) we've often had problems with them causing skin or internal irritation, and devouring lubes.

That being said, the "PTG" was unlike ANY of the other non-silicone toys we've tried. The "PTG" is made of TPE (or Thermoplastic Elastomers - basically a high-tech blend of plastics and rubbers) and is both phthalates-free, and latex free. I've even tried other TPE toys in the past, and NONE of them were like this one. The sleeve of this toy, is downright magnificent! The texture is just so smooth, and velvety. The material has an amazing amount of stretch, while still retaining a very nice "squeeze" to it. It's dense enough that it has some weight to it and stays put, yet still soft enough that it has some give to it, so when grinding against the fleshy mound surrounding the vaginal opening, it almost feels like the real thing. Additionally, there is a subtle texturing of nobules inside the sleeve you can feel when using it, that are just strong enough to feel quite pleasant, without being overpowering.

Perhaps best of all, is that I've experienced NO irritation on my skin from this TPE. The folks at Orion really seemed to get it right with their recipe!

As for the rest of the toy, the tube that it is all contained in, and both end caps, are constructed from a thick and rigid plastic, that has virtually no give to it. It's nice because you don't have to worry about bending, crushing, or breaking the tube when "mounting" it somewhere to "have relations" with it.

Externally, the design of the "PTG" is quite simple; a fairly large plastic tube. I know many manufacturers of these types of masturbators are trying to be sneaky, and pass these devices off as things you can hide in "plain sight" without others knowing what they are. Let's be honest here for a minute. We all know these tubes don't look like a flashlight, or other everyday household item. If you are trying to hide one, they look more like a giant plastic tube (a little smaller than a two-liter bottle of soda) sitting conspicuously on your nightstand, tossed under your bed, or stashed in your underwear drawer. So although the casing doesn't exactly camouflage these devices to their surroundings, they do provide for a durable case for the sleeve to keep it protected and to keep dirt/dust/lint/hair/sunlight away from it, as well as a hefty, solid body to hold it by, which are both good things. I suppose most people would rather look at a fairly large gray tube, than a rubber vagina sitting out anyhow.

On to the sleeve. One of my absolute favorite things about this toy, is the depth of the internal sleeve. Let me preface this a little bit by saying that I'm not a porn star (sorry to disappoint), and I'm not hiding an elephant's trunk in the front of my pants. My erection is probably only slightly above average length. Yet, somehow, every masturbator I've tried is just too darn short, and I always end up "bottoming out", or having the head of my penis sticking completely out the other side; that is, every masturbator UNTIL this one! With the "PTG" I can actually penetrate the toy as deeply as I want, WITHOUT poking out the other side... even with the bullet vibe in place in the other end! Woohoo!

The only real "function" (so to speak) of the "PTG" is the vibrating bullet. The bullet is controlled by a simple On/Off push-button on the back cap of the toy, with no speed control, and no fancy vibrating functions or patterns. It's either buzzing, or it's not. When I first tested the bullet vibe outside of the toy, it was pretty powerful, and awfully loud. However, once you seat the bullet in the rear opening of the sleeve, a lot of the sound is dampened amongst the soft TPE material, and with it, so is the vibration. When in use, you can still feel the vibration, but it's definitely not a focused, targeted feeling. It's really more like a background buzzing that you don't really even pay attention to. I all honesty, I prefer the "PTG" without a vibrator, but then again, I'm not a huge fan of vibration (unless it's a precise powerful vibe like the Hitachi Magic Wand).

Due to the removable caps on both ends up the tube of the "PTG" cleanup of this toy is quick and easy. Once you've taken off the caps, and removed the vibrating bullet, the entire sleeve slides easily out of the large opening of the can (the sleeve is simply held in place by a ridge in the large opening that seats with a corresponding groove in the sleeve - give it a little tug, and it pops right out). The sleeve can be flushed with warm water through the large opening in the back, and washed with a mild soap. When the sleeve has been removed from the tube piece, the tube can easily be flushed with soapy water as well (if needed). I prefer to dry the tube off, and let the inner sleeve air dry for a little bit before reassembling it and putting it back away, simply to discourage any mold or bacteria from finding a home in my "PTG". I would guess if you dried everything thoroughly by hand though, you'd be fine.

It is important to note, that TPE is a porous material. This toy cannot really be sterilized after using it, so sharing it with others would probably not be in your best interest unless using condoms with it.

I've only used this toy with water-based lubes, but TPE is supposed to be safe for silicone based lubes as well. As far as the longevity of the lube goes, the "PTG" definitely kept lube better than other TPE toys I've tried, but not quite as good as silicone toys.

Although I do enjoy this toy quite a bit, there are a couple things that would make it better, and downfalls I can't help but nit-pick.

First, the tube is not airtight. There really isn't much of what I would call a "seal" between the rear cap and the tube. To further exacerbate the issue, the On/Off button for the bullet is a fairly loose piece of plastic that can rattle around. What this adds up to, is when using the "PTG" every time you thrust into it, air is being forced out between the tube and the end cap, as well as at the On/Off button. Then when you pull back out a little bit on the outward stroke, air is drawn back in in both of these places. Every time this happens, the On/Off button makes a fairly loud TICK as it fully seats, or fully extends in the end cap. Essentially you get an audible TICK TICK TICK TICK in synch with your stroke speed. I don't know if all of the "PTGs" are the same, or if it's just my specific one, but if the house is quiet, you may be able to hear that ticking through a door.

After dealing with the "ticking" I mentioned above, and realizing that air was being drawn in and out of the device, I got a simple idea to address the issue, and in my opinion, improve the toy. I opened up the rear cap, removed the bullet from the sleeve (as I don't enjoy the vibration very much anyhow), and unplugged it from the cap (it's actually connected to the cap by a simple jack which you can unplug to remove it, which I thought was a very good idea). Next, I placed a piece of plastic sheet over the rear of the tube, pulled it tight, and then screwed the cap back on (I used a piece of plastic drop cloth, but I think that a plastic shopping bag would work equally as well). Then, when I used the "PTG", the plastic stopped the air from escaping out the back, meaning not only did it eliminate the clicking, but it also provided for a slight vacuum/sucking sensation on the reverse stroke, which felt quite nice.

Another variation of the toy I very much enjoy, is to toss the sleeve in some hot water for 5 or 10 minutes before using it, as the "skin" will really warn up, and retain some heat well, making it feel even better.

I really was surprised at how much I enjoyed this toy, and if it had come with a seal on the rear cap to provide that suction, and didn't TICK when I used it, I probably would've given it 5 stars. However, a nit-picky as it is, I would still say that this toy is worth it for the price.
