The Lotus Pocket Pussy is not a bad toy and since this was my first official "Pocket Pussy" I have to say I like the pussy appearance to it (even if it is purple).

Let me break everything down for you so you get a clear understanding of each.

1) The packaging:

The Lotus comes in a small box which is very explicit as to what it is and what it is for. The box tells you it is made of "Senso" material, that it says is "Super Stretchy". It also clearly says on the box "Lube up and slip into this super stretchy sculpted vagina" - no hiding what it is here! (as if the image of the pussy shaped sleeve wasn't enough or the completely nude woman on the box)

Inside the box you will find your Mini Vagina which is sealed inside a plastic bag (refreshing to me, since the box isn't really sealed). Also inside the bag you will find your free sample of lube (a small condom sized package).

I noticed on the box after I opened it that it says "Sensually Scented". I think to myself, that sounds good! Maybe it won't smell like the typical toy! Now, don't get me wrong it does have some sort of scent on it, but whatever it is doesn't really cover anything up and the scent in and of itself really doesn't smell good to me (purely my opinion, others have liked the scent). To me, it just smells like a chemical sealant or something.

Overall the packaging is decent, about what one would expect.

2) The Toy:

On the box, it says it is "Super Stretchy". Let me tell you, this thing is indeed very stretchy! This is a good thing due to it's length of only 4 1/4" and the small slit opening. The sleeve is semi-transparent, which I found to be oddly arousing, along with the opening somewhat resembling a purple vagina (really, purple?). The business end of the toy is about 1 1/2" across and the "draining" end is about 1" across.

3) First Use:

First use, I get the sleeve all lubed up, as well as myself (using the included lube - which by the way is VERY runny and not a whole lot thicker than water). I sit back and slip the pussy over my knob and the first thing I notice is I like looking at the pussy stretching open to fit my member! I then continue slipping it down over my cock not paying much mind and notice my cock head popping out of the other end (which, as odd as it was, kind of felt good). Since this is my first experience with an open ended toy, I was a bit shocked, but soon got over it and went with it. I notice right away the "ribbing" inside and it feels pretty good at a slower pace (when stroking faster, it was almost too much to stand and detracted from my personal experience).

Then, I realize something else about this that seems weird. This thing seems to absorb lube! I notice myself going from slippery to sticky relatively quick and that isn't good when it starts grabbing instead of sliding. I tried a little KY with the existing lube (both are water based) and it happened again. So instead of getting frustrated I spit into it. The saliva seemed to re-activate the lube and worked flawlessly (for the most part, had to do it one more time). It's then that I realize I am going to cum. Not thinking about it I let it go and out it "cums" from the other end (which was a bit of a shock). That's when I remembered why I didn't buy an open ended toy the first time.

Overall the first use was decent, nothing mind blowing, but different.

4) Clean Up:

After using the toy, of course comes clean up. This is something that the toy is very easy to do with. What I did was simply open the business end of it and ran water straight through it for a minute or so, then let it dry and put it away; piece of cake.

My experience with this toy is a bit mixed. I have noticed that after only a few uses, it seems to be developing a thin spot in the center of the sleeve on one side. As a stroking toy, it is decent enough, but the open end on it is a major downfall in my opinion. Yes, it does make cleaning easier, but it detracts from the overall experience (lack of suction and having to be careful where you point it when you finish).

All in all..it's an okay toy. Nothing fantastic, but for the price not a bad travel toy (if you bring towels or something to catch the..money shot).

After using this simple, yet seemingly effective little "vagina", I will admit, it is holding up a lot better than I expected it to, and it's not that bad, really. I would still stand behind my review, saying it is about a 3 star toy. Not bad, but not great.
