Toy covers - toy covers discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by bootyscoops

Unless you've been unsatisfied using condoms as toy covers, these probably have no place in your toybox. For those with toys that feel unsecured in regular sized condoms, these might be a lifesaver! These small, non-lubricated condoms make it easy for couples to swap toys during intercourse without having to go through the process of cleaning the toy beforehand. Just pop off the cover, slap a new one on and go. They come in packs of three and for the price, I find it really difficult to use them spontaneously without thinking "but is it worth $2?"

When the box says "small", it means small! These covers are puny. They are perfect for toys like anal plugs and narrow dildos and vibrators but unsuitable for anything much bigger than an inch in diameter. The packaging looks like that of a normal condom with the square foil case that can be torn open pretty easily. The box is not discreet with its color and label but it's easy to hide it as it is relatively flat. If that doesn't work for you, you can take the covers out of the box and stash them with the rest of your condoms and they'll blend in perfectly. The backside of the foil is see through and the covers are about an inch in diameter rolled up inside.

Putting the cover on is easy if you are using an appropriately sized toy. I could see people having trouble trying to roll it down over a larger toy. Even then, the covers are made of latex, so they should have some stretch to them. They're non-lubricated, so the latex feels very sticky. When using the covers, I found frequent reapplication of lube essential.

Pulling the cover off was more difficult than putting it on as the latex was sticking to the surface of the toy (I've only used it with silicone). It felt really nice to have the cover off and a clean toy underneath. I still washed the toy, of course, but it was a more pleasant experience by far.

Overall, I'd say these are good for what they are: small, non-lubed condoms. For couples trying to share small vibrators, dildos, or plugs, it might be a lifesaver. I would even use these during solo play as a way to make cleaning easier (which could be a huge plus while living with roommates or if doing anal play) but unless they're offered in greater quantities for a better price, I find it a hard cost to justify.

Now that I've gotten through my whole pack of these, I still feel like the cost was way too high. It's a shame, because I could totally see myself using these more often just because I like seeing a snug fit with a toy cover, but at 3 per pack it's just too much of a pain to keep them around. I'm sticking with condoms if I need to cover my toys from now on.
