The Slipinside #1 is my second venture into the world of penis sleeves, the first being the Maven, which is also made by Vibratex and made of Elastomer. I was very much impressed with the Maven and hoped that Vibratex would deliver me with something of similar quality and enjoyment for less money.

When you receive the Slipinside #1 it is turned inside out with the ticklers on the outside. The ticklers do look a bit intimidating and initially I wasn't quite sure if I was going to enjoy them, but I knew that would only be decided after giving it a couple tries. After cleaning, I turned the Slipinside back in so that the ticklers were on the inside as intended and gave it a look over. Unlike the Maven, the Slipinside is considerably smaller and very lightweight. The opening in the toy looks like it is much better suited to someone of average or smaller endowment than its bigger brother Maven. Additionally, the specifications page on EF states that the Slipinside is 5 1/2" long, so if you are considerably longer than that you will likely not get as much out of the Slipinside as someone else of average size.

After using the Slipinside a number of times I can say I am content with its performance. The ticklers are a great stimulator, but sometimes they almost feel like too much and if you were to get too vigorous I could definitely see them making you numb or causing some pain. Also, the suction is not very tight, likely due to the fact that the ticklers keep your penis slightly away from the edge of the toy and hindering creation of a vacuum.

As far as cleaning is concerned, it couldn't be easier with the Slipinside. Turning the sleeve inside out is easy and all you need to do is run it under warm water and apply some soap. I usually dry mine with a lint free towel and then reverse it again for storage. So far it has not shown any signs of wear, and none of the ticklers have come off or torn, which shows me it will likely last a good while.

All in all, you get what you pay for. The Slipinside #1 makes for a good introductory penis sleeve thanks to its low cost and average performance, and is definitely better than using your old fashioned hand. However, if you are looking for something that is going to rock your world, the Maven is by far a better alternative that won't break the bank either.

It has been roughly a year since I reviewed the Slipinside #1, and honestly, my opinion has not changed. The inner ticklers have proven themselves to only cause my penis to get numb during masturbation, instead of providing any extra pleasure. As such, I have rarely used the Slipinside and only turn to it as a last resort. Don't waste your time or money on this and spend a little extra for a product that can perform to your needs.
