My Grilfriend's Replacement (Almost)

The Maven is a low priced, high quality sleeve that can work for a beginner or more advanced user. It feels amazing and is easy to care for. My girlfriend is lucky she's so fun to play with or she would be seeing less of me since I got this toy.

Use

The Maven is a handheld masturbation sleeve intended for use by men. It can be used to stimulate the head and shaft of the penis. It is great for beginners as well as advanced users. Why? It's just that good. It is perfect for solo use or adding it to play time with your partner for something new.

Material / Texture

The Maven is made of Elastomer which is my favorite material for a sleeve that I have encountered so far. It is latex free, hypo-allergenic and phthalates free. This material is soft, plush, very stretchy and not as sticky as others I've used. It doesn't really have much of a smell unless you hold it directly to your nose, in which case the smell still isn't particularly strong. It also doesn't have a taste. The softness and elasticity of the material definitely make this toy more enjoyable and add to the stimulation.

The inside of the toy is covered in little nubs that are also made of Elastomer. These nubs provide excellent stimulation. There's really no way to explain just how good they feel. This texture is appropriate for any user from beginner to advanced. For the price, this sleeve just can't be beat.

    • Textured interior

Shape / Design / Size / Fit

The design of this toy is basic but it works perfectly. One of my favorite features is the closed end. This means that if you squeeze the air out of the sleeve before slipping it on, you get excellent suction. This helps to make the nubs inside all the more stimulating. I'm not particularly sensitive but this toy feels amazing.

The shape is also pretty straight forward. It's a slightly tapered cylinder that can be easily held in the hand.

As far as size goes, I find this toy perfect. It is 7 inches in length and fits up to 2 inches in diameter. I believe that this is stretchy enough to accommodate a penis that is considerably thicker, though. It could also easily fit an average user. I have had trouble with my girth affecting use in other masturbators, but this one has worked well for me even though I'm on the big side.

This toy isn't very discreet. Anyone who saw it lying around would wonder about it. It certainly can't pass for anything but a masturbation sleeve. It isn't very large and could easily be hidden in your night stand drawer.
    • Beginner
    • Will fit most people

Functions / Performance / Controls

This toy works like a dream. It really is the best male masturbator that I've encountered so far. The texture is great and the fit is perfect. It also seems to be very high quality for it's price. Since it does give a lot of suction, it can be a little noisy during use.
    • Easy to use
    • Very stimulating

Care and Maintenance

The Maven is super easy to care for. It's safe to use both water based and silicone lubricants with it, and after use it can be washed with antibacterial soap and water or wiped down with toy cleaner. It also flips inside out very easily so you know you're getting it good and clean.

I store my Maven in the box it came in. It's not much bigger than the toy and it keeps dust and hair off of it.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

The Maven comes in a clear plastic box that displays the toy quite nicely. Inside the box is a cardboard insert stating that this toy has a top rating by Sue Johanson of "Talk Sex with Sue Johanson." The insert also states that the Maven is stretchy and pliable, 100% Elastomer, and contains no latex or phthalates. It also instructs the user to store separately from toys of other materials and that it is compatible with water or silicone based lubricant. The insert states that "Deluxe Softwear Skin material feels like the real thing" and that there are "stimulating nubs" inside of the sleeve. It also says that men are encouraged to use a rotating or pulling motion for maximum sensation. The insert also tells us that the sleeve inverts easily for cleaning with water and mild soap or a quality toy cleaner. "With proper care sleeve will maintain original smooth texture."
    • Good for storage
    • Very informative

Personal comments

This toy is GREAT, especially for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give masturbation sleeves a try.

      I'm curious what type of care is ideal to keep the sleeves and pocket pussies from cracking/splitting?

      Is this just something that they all do, or does this happen if the toy isn't lubricated enough? It could just be my size, but every one of these toys my GF has gotten me always seems to develop a split within a week or two.

  • Cornstarch w/ Maven sleeve?
    • I just got the Maven sleeve and it seemed to be dusted with cornstarch or something else white when it was in the package. I assumed it was to keep it soft on the outside, but I haven't heard anything about using cornstarch with elastomer. Just soap and water, right?

      I have heard about cornstarch being used to dust some products like the fleshlight, I think to reduce the tackyness and keep it soft. A google search shows recommendations for doing so with silicone and cyberskin, but not specifically elastomer (although some industrial type sites suggest using cornstarch on elastomer..)

      I think you should use cornstarch because otherwise, the material does get a little sticky after a while. I was wondering, tho, does anyone know if you can use oil lubes with elastomer?

  • Good non-toxic masturbator
    • DavyB
      I wanted to get a masturbator that is NON_TOXIC, not too large, and can hold ejaculate for easy clean-up. I was considering the Maven. It has good reviews and opinions..so I hope I'm making the right choice.

      OMG! The Maven rocks! I own it! Looks like it meets all your needs!
      It's non-toxic (unless you plan on having it for lunch after you use it for masturbation :D ), large enough, very soft and feels great!
      And I think you'll be fine as far as cleaning goes...it's very easy to clean. You can turn it inside out for a better cleaning!
    • Fleshlights are also made with phthalate-free material and are quite popular ;)

  • The maven is awesome..
    • I use this one all the time.. the whole sleeve is really soft and squishy, so if you want it tighter, you can just squeeze it. The nubs on the inside feel great, and a little bit of lube really makes it an experience. Easy to clean up, too!

      I'm not a man, but I bought a "Head Honcho" for a man and he says that it feels like a combination of a "blow job" and being inside a "kitty". I wonder just how good it feels for a man, but I watched him with it and he had a very quick and powerful orgasm.
    • I would dust with cornstarch after it is completely dry. These elastometer sleeves are kind of sticky--more to itself than to humans!
