If you are familiar with Fleshlights, or already have a Fleshlight of your own, you will be familiar with the construction of this toy. In case you are not, Fleshlights come in two sections: a hard case, and a soft insert. The outer case protects the masturbator during storage and transport. It comprises a cylindrical main section with two end caps, which are removed, or partially removed, during use. The soft, inner section accommodates your penis during use.

I’ll get the negative out of the way before I start the review proper. No lube! Why? There’s not even a starter sachet of lubricant with this masturbator. I don’t expect a manufacturer to provide a huge tube of lubricant with a masturbator, but imagine the disappointment when you unpack your new toy and find that you can’t use it because you didn’t order lube. When you order this toy, buy some good quality, water-based lube at the same time. Don’t skimp on the lube; good quality costs a little more, but will last for ages and will not damage your toy.

Right. With that out of the way, how does the Succu Dry masturbator perform?

The outside of the can sports the vampire theme which the name suggests, with a female vamp, mouth agape and blood dripping from her elongated canines. A couple of jokey warnings about how to use the masturbator and what to do if a vampire bites you make an interesting change from the dry warnings about “no medical claims …”

Unlike the Fleshlight, which claims to be “disguised as a flashlight”, this does actually look like a large can of beer to the casual observer. Unscrewing the cap reveals a wonderfully modeled set of lips and teeth with a couple of vicious-looking canines. Luckily, they are molded from soft plastic elastomer, so there’s no chance of grazing your most sensitive parts with these teeth.

The mouth is slightly open,and this not only exposes the teeth, but makes inserting your penis very easy. On some other masturbators, including Fleshlights, inserting yourself into the toy can be a bit of an acquired skill. Once you are slipping inside (lubed up with a few drops of the aforementioned water-based lubricant), you’ll find a forest of soft spines stroking and stimulating your penis. One rather interesting and rewarding aspect of this masturbator is that, as the “mouth” accepts your penis, it expands as if opening to accommodate you in a very realistic way. Most unexpected.

It’s easy to clean too, the parts separating to be washed and dried before being reassembled for another use or storage. This is a compact, effective masturbator and it’s a quality product that doesn’t cost the earth.
