It comes wrapped in a plastic bag a in a little box, no instructions, which is fine 'cause it doesn't require much guidance. Lube up and stroke away. Like most masturbators, Colt Beaded Stroker|Colt beaded stroker did have a scent. But being totally honest, the smell was not that strong which was good because sometimes the smell can be so overpowering that it takes away from the sexual experience. It didn't really have a taste but I would not suggest putting it in your mouth anyway. It feels better on your cock (^_~).

The opening to the toy is very tight which felt great on my cock. Folk with bigger girth might find it too tight. If you like SUPER TIGHT toys, then this is a find, but be careful not to cut off circulation. The toy is also somewhate short. If you are well-endowed and you like toys that engulf your whole cock, this toy might only cover half of your length. I liked it because there was just enough of me popping out of the top to make long strokes feel good. Also be careful not to overstimulate yourself with the beads. You may come to the point where you're going in the opposite direction from an orgasm, if that makes sense. Just take your time.

It's made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) which meant I used a water-based lube. I'm not sure what other types of lube you can use with toy but I would suggest water-based cause it felt great.

The toy is not high quality, however, because it broke mid-use. This made it hard to clean too because the air pocket where the beads used to be is inside the opening and is hard to get at. But with TPR toys, you can clean them with soap and water, nice and easy.

So this week, I reviewed COLT's Beaded Stroker. I'm a very big fan of the COLT toys|COLT gear because they always seem to look so hot. I was excited about reviewing the Beaded Stroker because not only is it ribbed, but there are a string of beads that are set in the toy to provide extra stimulation.

When I got the toy this morning in the mail, I was really excited to get going. The toy was tight which was good for me but I imagined how it might feel too tight for someone thicker in girth. The combination of the ribbed inside and the beads felt great on my cock. As I jerked off, I would rotate the toy so that the beads where rubbing different parts of my dick. It felt really nice. But in the middle of my session, I felt this sharp pain. I looked down and saw that the beads had broken out of the toy. I had to remove them. This made jerking off not as fun. I could feel that there was a big empty space in the toy when I stroked.
