Great marketing appeal but has serious design flaws
The Helmet Hugger had great promise had it not been for some rather obvious design flaws(obvious to anyone who actually used what they designed).Published: November 20, 2010
Pros:
No smell, easy to clean,very pleasant material.
Cons:
Flawed design:
No air escape hole.
Entry point too tight.
Interior stimulator barbs too soft.
No air escape hole.
Entry point too tight.
Interior stimulator barbs too soft.
I don't usually write reviews about anything let alone sex toys... but I felt compelled to this time as the product "The Helmet Hugger" by Adam & Eve had such striking design flaws as to render it almost unusable. To bad as I was thrilled to find this site and these products. I was eager as a beaver to try this out in the privacy of my home the night of the day it arrived. While I was disappointed, you will see that necessity is the mother of invention, especially where good masturbation is at stake! Here are the details:
First the entry point was way too small. I'm not a big man by anyone's yardstick, but it was way too difficult to get my "helmet" in the contraption! This was exacerbated by the second flaw; no hole in the end to let trapped air escape. Unbelievable, if the designer of this had ever tried to use it, they would have known that without an air escape hole, and the tightness of the entry point, it is largely (no pun intended) impossible to get the "hugger" on at all.
Lastly, the tiny nubs inside that are supposed to give such pleasant stimulation can not be felt at all, since the material it's made of is soft to the touch. The silicone is perfect for the hugger, but the stimulators should have been make of something, well, more stimulating.
Oh well, not to be defeated by these set backs I proceeded to use a razor knife to cut a 1/4 inch hole in the tip of the helmet. Difficult due to the extremely squishy silicone substance it's made of but, doable with persistence. So one problem can be solved that will at least made the toy usable, even if less than fully satisfying.

Thank you for viewing Helmet hugger – penis sleeve review page!
Sorry this didn't work out better for you, good first review!
No worries... that's why reviews and ratings are so important. Guess I'll pay more attention to them.
Welcome to the community! Thanks for the review.
Welcome to EF. I'd suggest leather scissors for altering this type of material, as that will be safer and easier than trying to manipulate a razor. Thanks for the review!
Welcome to EF thanks for warning us about this one.
Many of these similarly made masturbation sleeves are closed ended to create suction and a tighter fit. I find it works best to squeeze the air out before inserting myself. Thanks for the review.
Welcome to EF!
Some things that would have made this review more useful for me would be information about the material, (what is it made of? What does it actually feel like? Are the nubs on the inside flexible or rigid? Are they stimulating or distracting?), cleaning information, (how do you clean it, was it easy to clean?) and how big the sleeve actually is.
You might want to consider joining the mentor program or using the extended review option for your reviews.
Well then...I'll be removing this from the wishlist! Thanks!
Thanks for the review!

This would probably not fit 90% of the men and it sounds like you found a differnt way to finish you testing!!
Thanks for the review - short and sweet!
