Meggan Mallone pocket pal - masturbator by Doc Johnson - review by Bucking Bill

Packages from larger toy companies all seem to have similar packaging, and the Pocket Pal is no different. Designed after Meggan Mallone, Vivid’s newest star, this Doc Johnson release has her plastered all over the front, along with an image of the toy itself.

Upon opening the package, you immediately smell the toy. It’s made of a material called UR3. It’s a mixture of PVC and silicone, which makes it highly flexible but also highly porous. It also needs to be dusted with cornstarch after every use. It will “melt” to other toys, absorb colors, and should only ever be used with water-based lubricant. Cleaning should be done with massive amounts of water and an antibacterial soap. The good news is that it’s both phthalates-free and latex-free. Because this toy cannot be sterilized, it should not be shared unless both users wear a condom. Wearing a condom, even if not planning on sharing, will really cut down on cleaning time and lengthen the life of this product.

Once the Pocket Pal is washed a few times, the smell reduces though very slightly. Armed with water based lubricant, I took the Pocket Pal for a few test runs. The sleeve is very large. With a 7” length and 8 ½” in circumference, I can’t imagine a single man this sleeve would not work for. It has an open ended design, so even if you’re longer than 7”, you could still use this sleeve. Because it is open-ended, it does not create suction. The open ended design does make cleaning easier though. This may be a good or bad thing based on your needs. The internal design of the Pocket Pal is ribbed. On each rib is a series of small nubs. The nubs are lost on me after initial penetration, but the ribs do feel good. The toy works effectively as a sleeve, just be aware of the detailed care the material requires.
