The Sakura Inflatable Lover with Lifelike Masturbator by Cal Exotics arrives in a bright yellow box emblazoned with pictures of the Anime nurse pictured on the toy itself. It is, according to the box, an inflatable lover with a lifelike pussy. Heh, having never met any woman with a TPR sleeve pussy I had my doubts, but I thought 'open mind' and pressed onward. The doll is made of heavy weight, sturdy plastic, has the requisite inflation valve, and can be inflated easily since it's only about 14 inches tall when fully inflated. The sleeve is identical to the other dolls by Cal Exotics. It is TPR which is porous and cannot be totally cleaned, a condom is recommended if you plan to share your new lover and for easier clean up. The sleeve itself is large, floppy and doesn't provide much friction even when the sleeve is firmly grasped in the hand. It doesn't have any added textures; it's simply smooth. On the upside it will easily accommodate any size or shape penis.

The doll has a hole on the bottom of the toy for the masturbator to slide in, though you will need to finesse it a bit. Sigel recommends you stuff the sleeve into the hole before inflating the doll as the sleeve is too soft to slide in easily after inflation. On this model doll the sleeve felt surprisingly good as the smaller doll squeezed the sleeve and provided much more friction. You can use silicone or water based lube with this sleeve. The doll is easy enough to clean with warm water and a mild soap, or commercial toy cleaner as is the sleeve. The sleeve is pliable enough to turn inside out without tearing for cleaning purposes. Let the toy dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew. Sakura could be stored in the original packaging if discretion isn't an issue for you. The doll can be used without the masturbator if you prefer and works quite well as there are no sharp plastic edges to cause discomfort.

Sakura is 14 inches high when fully inflated which was a welcome change for Sigel since his last inflatable lover left him feeling like he had run a marathon after inflating her by mouth. This one took all of 30 seconds to inflate. It is hand held and well constructed to accommodate one handed usage, this is important if you watch porn online and need your "clicking" hand. The toy has two pictures of the same "nurse"; one side has her in a come hither pose and the other side is more disturbing as she is pictured holding a syringe which left Sigel wondering what they were trying to convey. Typical of Japanese Anime, the nipples were covered by removable tape and the figure is fully clothed otherwise.

The main drawback to this product is the smell. I am beginning to hate strawberries at this point. This reeks of it. The scent is built into the plastic, I rinsed then washed the sleeve and it still reeks. I have ordered Sigel to keep this in his office closet so that our clothing doesn't stink of cheap, chemical strawberry. The smell does fade with time but after two weeks his office still smells like plastic strawberries.

As just an odd aside; the toy is completely waterproof so little Sakura could enjoy a nice hot bath with you...

I'll put the experience in Sigel's own words: "I will admit I was not overjoyed when Airen told me that I was to get round 2 of blow up doll fun but I have to admit this product, while not perfect, will provide release if you have about 20 minutes or are really into 14" anime figures. Overall, I would say this product while not living up to the "lifelike" part does produce enough friction with or without the sleeve to achieve orgasm. I wish I could 100% recommend anyone buy this but the smell by itself makes it, in my opinion, not worth it."

This lil cutie actually gets some use! It is just the right size, according to Sigel, to fit the hand and feel different. Though he says it is not a substitute for the original by any means it is a different sensation than using his hand. It blows up easily and quickly and is good with some lube. He is still a bit squicked out by the needle in her hand though...
