If you are looking for a way to add a little spice to your masturbating routine, a masturbator like the Beauty sleeve is a great option. And at a very approachable price, this toy can make a great addition to your toybox or help you decide if you are willing to shell out the cash for a more expensive option. That being said, this toy can certainly hold its own against masturbation aids two and three times its price.

A handheld masturbator, this toy stimulates every part of your cock with its three different pleasure zones (although those shorter than 5 inches may not reach the final section). With a bit of lube a grip aided by the shape of the device, you or your partner can stroke your cock in whatever rhythm and speed you desire, while the material makes this an incredibly smooth process.

While this toy is a wonderful way to integrate a sleeve into your masturbation ritual, it can be even more fun letting your partner get in on the action. The clear construction allows for your partner to watch your cock as they slide it up and down, a bonus for them as they watch the pleasure they are giving.

This sleeve is made of TPE, which Eden rates 6/10 on the material safety scale. TPE is porous, so it cannot be fully sanitized, and will not be disinfected in boiling water. As such, if you intend to share, condoms are recommended.

If you are unfamiliar with TPE, the feeling could perhaps could be most closely compared with jelly, nice and squishy, but firm enough to be manageable.

While the material can be a bit of a dust/hair magnet, this is solved with a quick wash, and the interior becomes exceedingly smooth with lube. I tend to try to drizzle lube down the center and sides of the sleeve to get some in each section, and then 'roll' the sleeve to make sure it's well distributed.

While in your hand the toy might seem unable to accomodate larger than average length or girth, all your concerns will be quieted as you slip your cock into this toy with a bit of lube. Although the vaginal length is listed as 5 inches, the TPE material has plenty of stretch to fit even larger than average cocks (this is based on personal experience, it's been a while since I've perused the section of the Kensey reports referring to size). The generously sized opening also greatly eases penetration. While users will not find the opening too big, or not tight enough, the slightly larger size does much to accomodate larger girth.

The shape of the toy allows for a great grip, which is especially important for a toy like this. The two ends are bulbous, with sort of a valley in between. This valley is a great place to grip the toy, as the two bulbous ends prevent your hand from slipping, even if you have a bit of lube on your fingers. This is a definite plus when compared to other masturbators with flat grips.

Once you've made your way inside, the beauty sleeve offers three distinct zones for your cock's enjoyment, each one providing unique and pleasurable sensations. The first zone, which runs the length of the first 'bulb,' consists of a tight passage with tightly packed rings which are extremely pleasurable especially during the initial insertion. The middle of the toy widens slightly with much larger rings, and these rings provide much of the pleasure as they massage your cock as you slide the sleeve up and down. What makes this toy truly explosive, however, is the third section. The final bulb widens to accomodate the head of your cock, and is filled with half-spheres, little nubbs which will send you over they edge as they work on the tip of your cock (with lube, try rotating the stroker, the nubs will drive you wild).

Realism was not important for me in selecting this toy, although I did appreciate the (somewhat) realistic vagina opening of this toy. The color certainly does not fit the toy, for ice queen this toy is not. (especially if you run warm water through the toy for a bit before its use). Since other sleeves I've tried have typically just had a round opening, the vagina does add a nice touch for users interested in realism.

One of the interesting distinctions of this sleeve is that the hole for insertion is the only opening on the toy. This allows for the buildup of suction as you use the toy, creating a very enjoyable experience. Some other comparable sleeves have a small hole on the 'head' section of the toy, presumably to allow for the escape of fluids and to aid cleaning by letting water run through the toy. I have found these holes much too small for insertion, and not too much help when cleaning the inside of the sleeve (although my partner does enjoy watching my cum shoot out of the top upon climax).

This toy is exceedingly simple, no vibrations, no moving parts. However, as described above, the three pleasure zones are enough to drive you over the edge.

The sleeve is waterproof, so when paired with a silicone-based lube, can be enjoyed in the shower. I did happen to prefer a water-based lube with this toy, but this is entirely a matter of personal preference.

While this you has no moving parts, I will give it a 2 on the bee rating, based on the squishing noise it makes during use. I did not find the noise to be distracting, nor is it especially noticeable--it could be used discreetly.

Care and maintenance for this toy is not burdensome, although it might take a bit longer than average. While the ridges inside do a wonderful job of holding lube while the toy is in use, these ridges don't tend to want to give up the lube if you just try to run some water and soap through the toy. The easiest way to clean the toy is to turn the toy inside out and give it a quick hand-wash using mild soap or some toy cleaner (toy cleaner is a great investment, and my preferred way of washing most toys). I also leave it inside out for a bit to dry.

The packaging is not the best option to store the sleeve, although you might wish to store it inside of something to prevent it attracting dust/hair while it waits to be used.

Unless you happen to have retained a lot from that Japanese class you took on a whim in college, the packaging in unreadable. From Japan, it is designed for those especially excited by the hentai genre. While the joys of this toy are perhaps well hidden by the packaging, don't let that discourage you from trying this great toy.

This is the kind of toy for men looking for some additional options in their masturbation routine. Sometimes the good old lotion and tissue method is all you need, but this toy provides your cock with some amazing variation. If you are into anal play, I would also highly recommend using this stroker with a set of beads or a plug nestled into your ass. Especially when paired with a plug that hits your p-spot for internal stimulation, the sensations caused by this stroker will drive you over the edge.
