Simple effective masturbation sleeve, easy to clean
Compared with the very large and hard framed Fleshlights and Tengas this is much more compact and easy to clean. I have a Tenga Flip and it is just too big to use and a real pain to clean. The Maven is less than half the price of a Tenga Flip, works just as well, and is easier to clean and store. What else do you need to know?Published: November 27, 2011
Pros:
Compact, flexible, feels great and very easy to clean.
Cons:
Don't like the blue color.
This is a very simple sleeve that is made of hypo-allergenic, latex and pthalate free elastomer. Although I am not crazy about the blue color, its other features make that more than tolerable.
Compared with Fleshlights and Tengas it is very compact, soft, squishy and compressible. It does not have the large, hard frame of either the Fleshlight or the Tenga. It takes up little space and can be stuffed into any corner of your luggage or drawer. Although it does not list silicone in its ingredients I was told to use only water based lubricant. Water based lube works great and also makes it much easier to clean.
As a masturbator it feels great and works very well. Just drop in some water based lube and it makes a nice seal around your cock. If you squeeze out the air trapped at the tip you will get a nice suction effect. It has soft nubs inside that provide a great sensation. Overall it has a great feel and gets me off as slowly or as quickly as I want. Also, because it is soft you can squeeze it as hard or as softly as you desire - try squeezing a Fleshlight or Tenga, but watch out for the shards of broken plastic.
Its best feature is that it is very easy to clean. I first rinse it out with warm water. Then I drop in some anti-bacterial soap and warm water and swirl it around. I then shove my fingers inside to clean it out thoroughly. Using only water based lube makes cleaning easy. I then turn it inside out, make sure it is fully cleaned and let it dry inside out. Inverting it may shorten its life, I don't know, but given its relatively low price I can buy 2.5 of them for the price of one Tenga. If you read the cleaning directions for either a Tenga or Fleshlight I doubt they get really clean. Any product with cleaning directions that suggest dropping in cornstarch makes me nervous. I don't think making a cornstarch thickened semen and bacteria soup is really sanitary. Frankly, it grosses me out. I KNOW i can get this toy really clean and sanitary. But hey, its your dick, if you like hot and sour soup go for it.

slcadmanI'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?

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..)

Just soap and water, right?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
-
DavyBI 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. -

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!

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!
