Maven - masturbator by Vibratex - review by ShaneZed

I got the Maven, and was quite surprised with it!

On the website here at EF, the pictures make it look quite a bit bigger than it really is, especially the entry hole, but low and behold, it's quite the pleasure maker!

The elastomer material is super stretchy, and since it only has one opening, the suction is wonderful, but I'll get into that later.

I found this toy works best any time, as in, it doesn't need a special occasion to use it!
You can use it by yourself, with a partner, in the shower/bath, on your bed, in the washroom, where ever you want.

Keep reading the review for the full low down on this awesome toy!

The toy itself is made from super stretchy elastomer, and when I say super stretchy, I mean it.
I'm an average sized guy, and it stretches to fit over my manhood.

The material itself is dyed (from what I can tell) a quaint blue, and doesn't have the smell of other, cheaper masturbators on the market (like the Blush Stroker I have).

As for the texture, the inside has loads of nubs to massage your cock as you stroke it up and down. The opening has some seams, which don't look all that attractive, but feel great when you're first sliding yourself in.

My first impression was a bit of a funny one, as I opened it while I was with my girlfriend. We both kind of giggled at the wobblyness of it, and it kind of reminded me of a slug, or something.

Again, like I had mentioned earlier, there's only one opening, so the suction just adds to the nubs on the inside.

I found that the nubs only go about 3/4, or so, of the way to the back to the end of the toy, which added some interesting sensations to the head of my cock while using it.

The size of the toy, as per the info on the box, says it's about 7" long, which will accommodate most dudes.
Since the material is super stretchy, it can fit to around 2" or so of girth.

It fits in your hand without a problem, and and since there's no real "back bone" to it, you can squeeze it for added sensations.

The added bonus of the natural suction on your manhood is a definite bonus, again, as it only has the one opening. It almost feels like you're getting a blowjob from your lady (or whoever).

The colour is a nice blue, and given the fact that it doesn't have any visible "lady parts", it's somewhat discreet.

The only problem I'd see arising would be the length of your junk, as it is only approximately 7", you're only going to get that much coverage, but needless to say, the nubs definitely make up for it.

Using the toy is rather easy.
If you've used your hand to jerk off, then just put this in your palm, and slide it over your cock, and go to town.

I suggest using a dab of lube, to make everything nice and wet, so you're not hurting yourself.
While using it in the shower, I had some body wash on my manhood, and that worked rather well as well.

Since it's made of elastomer, you can use either water OR silicone based lubes, so if you have a preference, fear not.

I found that, since there's quite a bit of suction when you get going, there's a bit of a slurpy noise when in use, but that goes hand in hand (pardon the pun), with these kinds of toys, given the experience I've had with masturbators.

My best technique was the squeeze n' twist, while stroking. It added to the tightness, and while the nubs feel great otherwise, the twisting action felt unbelievable.

It's really up to the user to find their best technique, but that one worked wonders for me.

Cleaning this toy was a breeze!

I found that, since it's stretchy, you can just flip it inside-out, and use your favourite toy cleaner, or soapy water (like I use), using obviously mild, scent free soaps.

Make sure that you dry it off both inside, and out, before you store it away for later use, as mildew and mold can obviously produce after time.

It's ALWAYS a good idea to rinse it before use, and wash it well after, as germs aren't good for anyone.

I like to store things separately, so you keep it in it's original packaging like I do, or however you feel works best for your toys.

The toy came in a clear plastic box-like packaging, with the name and description on a cardboard leaflet.

I found that the packaging can actually double as a storage unit, safely away from your other toys, leaving it free from contamination, or other such bad things.

Despite being a convenient storage box, the packaging is kind of cheap, and mine is already breaking. Then again, since it's the original packaging, you can't really expect all that much from it.

I suggest putting it in a clear sealable bag, such as a ZipLock or something similar.
