The Adult Toy Review Q&A: How I write reviews

The level of sensation that any masturbator toy gives a person is going to be subjective. Why? It comes down to many different factors, some are personal preferences, but much more are the anatomical ones. We’re not all the same size and some of us are circumcised (which might make us less sensitive, and thus we require more stimulation).

Q: The masturbator I’m looking at doesn’t have a 10/10 on the Hands scale, should I still be considering it?

A: YES. In fact, I am very reluctant to give ANY product I review a perfect score or review unless I truly cannot conceive of a single way that the product could be even slightly better.

Q: If the product is adequate and “does the job” why not give it a perfect score/review?

A: This would certainly be more profitable for me, but if I did that then there would be no way for the truly exceptional products to stand out. I want my readers to be able to see how each reviewed product stacked up against its peers in a quantifiable way, and since my reviews are biased by my anatomy, I also list engineering measurements and other relevant details that are omitted from many product pages on Amazon.

I also periodically go back and revise my reviews to keep the scores consistent, and expand on my initial impressions. This site is something of a side project of mine, so it is growing as I have time to add reviews and money to buy new products to review.

I do read submitted comments so if you have a product you would like me to review, leave a comment on this or any other page with how I can get in contact with you.

Cheap Entry level male masturbator

Easy to clean, bacteria resistant, inexpensive, good value for the money.

If you are looking to buy your first male masturbator this is the one I’d recommend. Here’s why: it is extremely cheap, very good sensation for the price, ships fast from Amazon and if you are a prime member you can get it for free next day delivery. It’s also easy to maintain since it is made of Silicone which makes cleaning easier and also means that it won’t absorb the lubricant and get sticky over time.

I’ve now owned two of these and am generally very satisfied, but there are two drawbacks. Number one is that when you first get it there is some paint on the lips. This isn’t the only company that does this, a light water colour of pink is typically applied to make it look more realistic. However, when I bought the second one to my great shock and terror it had bright red paint all over the silicone labia! It made for a very cringe worthy appearance, but thankfully after a little water, soap and scrubbing I was able to remove all of the paint. Hopefully this won’t happen to you, my first one did not have this issue.

The second drawback is the quality, these are inexpensive and to a small extent it shows. There are a few air bubbles randomly in the material and the opening dimension on yours might be smaller than what is listed below. The reason I bought a second one is that the first one had an air bubble at the very end and eventually that burst, creating a pinhole and destroyed the suction and would leak lube out the top. The opening was also super tight on the first one and after stretching it too much while cleaning it the opening tore.

That said, I am still a big fan of this product due to the ease of cleaning and level of sensation if delivers. That’s why I’d recommend it to anybody looking at getting one, especially if it will be the first one you buy.

Detailed specifications based on the second of the two I own:

Material: Silicone, pink/red paint

Sensation: 6.5/10 Hands. Tightness varies, but in general a very tight opening, you might have trouble using it the first few times.

External size: 126mm long x 53mm diameter

Functional internal dimensions: 107mm deep

Opening (without stretching): 5.7mm x 11.5mm

Textured path with a good variety of structures to keep you stimulated

Quality: Moderate quality – some air bubbles in the material can lead to failures

Smell – Completely odorless

Cleaning – Very easy, don’t over stretch the opening or it might tear. I recommend putting it under the tap and repeatedly squeezing the base to circulate water through it. Use liquid hand soap if you came inside it. DO NOT use any toy cleaner on this product or it will become sticky.

If you want to pick one up it is available on Amazon, you currently can’t because it is no longer listed, if it comes back I will update this post.
