It does get the job done. However, it didn't leave me with a 'wow...let's do that again' type of feeling after the first use. It didn't have a bad smell when I first opened the package and the texture on the outside was grab-able. It looked fun and I set my expectation there right on the spot. When I used it, I made sure to use water-based jell type lube as it felt best with the bumps on the inside of the Maven. It could have been a little sturdier on the outside. As when you were using it up and down it seemed to just be ok feeling. It did not make me want to do it again and again. Some other reviews had mentioned this but for me it wasn't a grand experience. To me it just created a mess that I had to clean up, compared to just throwing some tissues down the drain. :( I think maybe with an anal plug or something hitting your prostate may be better. Maybe that will change my mind. I'll try that one later.

As for the texture on the inside, it was beaded and I would describe it as some texture but not tight around the penis. I think I was looking for something that was tighter that I didn't have to squeeze the Maven just to get that 'snug' feeling. It was very easy to clean. It flipped inside out very easy and just used simple soap and water to rinse out the fun stuff.

In the end I may use it again but I think it will have to be with another toy to make it exciting. It was a step up from a hand but nothing compared to the real thing. If you are looking for a 'replacement' girlfriend for a night, I may try a different one. You could spend a little more and get a Fleshlight which has more options in them.
