Well it was worth a shot...
I would say to go for a Fleshlight and even though I did my research, I will probably look for a Maven replacement. But until then I'll use it anyway.Published: March 21, 2009
Pros:
Cheap cost. Good Material. Easy to clean.
Cons:
Little flimsy. Could not feel the bumps really well.
It does get the job done. However, it didn't leave me with a 'wow...let's do that again' type of feeling after the first use. It didn't have a bad smell when I first opened the package and the texture on the outside was grab-able. It looked fun and I set my expectation there right on the spot. When I used it, I made sure to use water-based jell type lube as it felt best with the bumps on the inside of the Maven. It could have been a little sturdier on the outside. As when you were using it up and down it seemed to just be ok feeling. It did not make me want to do it again and again. Some other reviews had mentioned this but for me it wasn't a grand experience. To me it just created a mess that I had to clean up, compared to just throwing some tissues down the drain. :( I think maybe with an anal plug or something hitting your prostate may be better. Maybe that will change my mind. I'll try that one later.
As for the texture on the inside, it was beaded and I would describe it as some texture but not tight around the penis. I think I was looking for something that was tighter that I didn't have to squeeze the Maven just to get that 'snug' feeling. It was very easy to clean. It flipped inside out very easy and just used simple soap and water to rinse out the fun stuff.
In the end I may use it again but I think it will have to be with another toy to make it exciting. It was a step up from a hand but nothing compared to the real thing. If you are looking for a 'replacement' girlfriend for a night, I may try a different one. You could spend a little more and get a Fleshlight which has more options in them.

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!

Thank you for viewing Maven – masturbator review page!
Sorry this was not the greatest for you. I had a friends get it and he loved it.
I agree. Too flimsy and too loose. A real pain to deal with, with not a lot of pleasure. I don't see what the other guys see out of this piece of junk.
Thank you for the great review
I think my husband will like this. As you say, worth a shot.
ty for the review
Thank you!
While it is not a "sublime" experience, it definitely gets me off. I am so right handed that it beats using my left hand when I want some "strange" when I masturbate.
Thank you for your review of this product. I know very little about this type of toy, so it's helpful to learn about the experiences of others.
I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it as much as you'd hoped you would.
thanks
nice!
I was considering this as an easy sleeve, but now I'll probably look at a head honcho instead. Thanks for the review.
