Smooth Riding
A very flexible toy that can accommodate most any size man. Since the toy is softer, it is not painful to use and is very easy to clean.Published: May 16, 2009
Pros:
Easy toy for use and clean up.
Cons:
It is very stretchy and can create problems when thrusting.
My husband and I are doing this review together. For an average sized man (my husband) this toy fits perfectly into his collection. Even if you are more endowed it is still a great toy. This toy should only be used with silicone or water based lubricants, and because of its porous quality it is not recommended to be shared without a condom. Since the texture is smooth and soft on the outside it is easy to keep a grip with, and it almost seems to have a powdery texture. However no powder is involved. On the inside it has a multitude of nubs. These are not easily felt and could be larger. If you have a larger girth, there is no fear of the nubs painfully rubbing.
A bonus is that this toy does not emit an awful smell unless it is not cleaned thoroughly, but that was easily remedied. Boiling is not recommended; however this toy is easily cleaned. The super stretchy material allows it to be turned inside out and cleaned with hot soap and water or a sex toy cleaner. The end of this toy is closed thus creating a better suction, but making bedroom clean up very quick and easy.
It is a soft toy; therefore thrusting upward can become a challenge. Also this cannot be a hands free toy because there is no hard "shell". Placing it in between two matrices does work, but not as well as a harder masturbator. However if a softer gentler toy is in order, this is a great addition for the price.
From a woman's point of view this toy is easy to handle and not overwhelming in smaller hands. After steady use for five months this toy performs as well as the day we bought it. It has not stretched out, torn or changed color in that time.

Follow-up commentary
24 days after original review
This toy has handled frequent use without tearing. From a woman's perspective, this toy is also a great hand-job assistant and it is not awkward to handle.

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!
