The Mood Pleaser Massage Beads is best suited for solo use, but it could be used with a partner. It could be used on a lonely night, or to introduce someone new to the idea of male masturbatory accessories, or possibly as a gift for a friend you secretly don’t like.

The Mood Pleaser is made of UR3. According to the Eden page, UR3, a compound of PVC and silicone, is designed to be flexible and durable. UR3 also comes in with a safety rating of 2 on the previously mentioned webpage. It is very porous and needless to say, it should not be shared. UR3 should only be used with water based lube. The material feels squishy, but is more firm than the material of a Fleshlight. I have noticed a slight rubbery odor with a hint of… cherry? The Mood Pleaser features a texture with 48 bumps arranged in rows and columns down the inner portion of the sleeve.

The sleeve has a primarily cylindrical shape with raised ridges that I assume are to help grip the sleeve (They don’t really help). The design is beginner friendly and would not scare any novices. It is 4.5 inches long and 2 inches wide, so it should fit any length and girth. The sleeve, as small as it is, can fit inside a sock or sandwich bag. I recommend storing it in a sandwich bag because of the material. UR3 can react with similar materials.

This sleeve can and should be cleaned with soap and water, or a toy cleaner, before and after each use. The material of the sleeve is a dirt and lint magnet when dry. That can be fixed by dusting it with cornstarch. You should not use talc.

The Mood Pleaser's packaging is a simple black box with pictures of the sleeve on the packaging. It is not discreet, and anyone looking at it will know what it is for. The packing has an interesting dot matrix on the back which quickly gives information about what features it has, properties of the material, cleaning info, and compatible lubricants. I like the product info on the back and wish more manufacturers did that. It doesn't have much for included instructions and only has cleaning tips, and a reminder not to put the sleeve in a microwave or oven.

This sleeve gets me going, but it takes more work to climax than when I use my hand or other sleeves. I can climax with this, but only just. I've tried time and time again thinking "Maybe next time I'll figure out the secret to this dammed thing." In order to fully enjoy this toy it should be drenched in your favorite lube. I'm not even joking. I had to use 5 times as much lubricant than when I use my Fleshlight Lady Lager. The length and tightness of the sleeve mean that, upon full insertion, your penis will poke out of the back if it is longer than 4.5 inches and the lubricant you used will run down the side. This sleeve becomes a pain to grip when covered in lube. The exposed open end also allows the lube to drive more quickly when lube is cautiously applied. This toy also makes a slurping noise when used. It's not loud enough to be a distraction. I haven't tested to see if it is audible behind a closed door, so try to use discretion when people might pass by the door.
