Not to judge a book by its cover, but one of the first things that I look at when I get a new toy is the box. If a toy comes in a tasteful box, usually it is high quality. The box that this toy came in has a soft-core erotic image of a woman on it, instead of one that is pornographic. Upon further examination, I found small print that read “this product is sold as a novelty,” and therefore not intended for actual use. However, it is difficult to find a toy for a man that is made for use, so I was willing to give it a try.

Once taking it out of the box, I found that it was pre-covered in talcum powder to keep the Futurotic skin soft. The box had said that it was scented, but I could not detect any fragrance other than the toy’s material, which wasn’t bad, just neutral. The material feels very stretchable, soft, and lifelike. It has a moderate weight, not too heavy like some toys, but heavier than most might expect.

At first I could not figure out how the shape was supposed to resemble a butt. I turned it a few different ways, and finally found that it is supposed to not resemble a life-size woman, but in fact a miniature woman who is in a sitting position. Curious as to what the inside felt like, I started out with a curious finger. To my pleasant surprise, the toy is lined with small, but close-together ribbing.

This is definitely a toy that needs a lot of lubrication. The opening is very small, and even after a generous application of lube, I found it very difficult to get inside. Considering how stretchy the toy is, this surprised me. After finally working my way in, the tightness proved to be valuable, and it held on very well.

The ribbing felt amazing, and made each movement deeper inside feel like I was entering the toy again. Even though the toy is longer than most masturbators, I still came out the other side, which is a slight drawback for me, but overall the toy still felt great.

With a toy like this, the most difficult thing was clean-up. Being that it is made of porous material, I couldn’t just sit it down on anything after use. It is like a dust and lint magnet. When washing it, it become extremely slippery, but as soon as I removed it from the water, it is extremely sticky. I made sure to apply plenty of powder after use, but this can be a messy process.

To my disappointment while cleaning the toy after first use, I found that the inside of the toy was already full of little tears in the material, even after just gentle and careful use. The tears were not all the way through the toy, but had begun nonetheless. This is where I really began to understand the “not for actual use” part of this toy. Always trying to keep my belongings in perfect condition, this was extremely frustrating, but the toy was still functional.

Because of the labor-intensive process to clean it up, often I think twice before using it. But overall, I was very satisfied with this toy, and would recommend it to others, but with a footnote to use it very carefully. I give it four out of five stars.
