The RP Project #13: Lady Vortex Fleshlight

When you begin to use male sex toys, one of the best places to get information about them is the vendors' public forum where users share their personal experiences with their toys. For example, both ILF / Fleshligh and Toy Demon have their forums where you can interact with fellow masturbators (Fleshlight forurm, Toy Demon forum). Why I mention this in this entry? Because if it wasn't for the Fleshlight user forum I would never bought the Vortex FL. My first Fleshlight purchase included the now discontinued mini-Vortex and honestly, I hated that texture at the time. Reading the forum let me know that the Vortex texture had a long "break-in" period (meaning I had to use the fucker more to begin to enjoy it). After the 12th use, I really began to enjoy the mini-Vortex, prompting me to finally get the full sized version months ago. Was it a good buy? Lets see...



First Impressions:

The Vortex Fleshlight (Photo property of ILF / Fleshlight)
The vortex is a combo texture were you have more than one thing stimulating your penis. You have both the spiraled sections and the varying diameter canal to squeeze your penis during use. When I looked at it for the first time, it promised an intense experience and with the rating of 4 out of 5 from ILF, I was expecting a different and unique orgasm.

Intensity (5 / 5)
I would say that the Vortex is intense, but not overwhelmingly. It provides immediate feedback - I felt the spirals right away during the first use of this evaluation (I had "broken" the texture months ago), and the canal variation created a subtle suction that was more than pleasurable. The real intensity of this texture is how it keeps you on the edge. During the evaluation sessions, the Vortex kept me in a state of  "almost there" for periods between 10 and 15 minutes, sometimes taking my breath away before a toe clenching orgasm. Orgasms with the Vortex are not earth-shaking or ball-draining, but are good enough to justify a perfect score.

Tightness (4/5)
The Vortex is a perfect texture to penetrate at half-mast. It is tight enough to allow growth but never grips the penis in a way that you feel you are into a vacuum cleaner. If you are looking for constant pressure, this is not a sleeve for you, since the chambers vary in diameter, tightening only in some sections.

Realism (4/5)
The Vortex is probably the most realistic texture from ILF. Depending on the tightness of the end cap and the lube you use, it feels close to either a blow job or as vaginal sex. Lubed and with the end cap fully tightened, it felt very close to vaginal sex - the spirals are less pronounced and the canal variation felt like a vagina contracting on my penis. With the end cap lose 3/4 of the way, the spirals come to life and intensity ramps up, feeling as teeth softly biting. Add a little bit of extra lube at that point and you have a good replica of a blow job.  It feels close enough to get 4 points out of 5.

Versatility (5/5)
The Vortex is a versatile sleeve: it can be used hands free, is a perfect stroker giving a range of realistic sensations, and you can pound it hard either way without problems. You want longer sessions, add a thicker lube (or "over lube") and tighten the end cap all the way. You want intensity, use a thinner lube and use the sleeve without the end cap and you'll be trashing your bed or chair after a few minutes. What else can you ask from an artificial  vagina?

Lubricant use (5/5)
The Vortex retains lube perfectly, especially for short to mid length sessions (20 - 45 minutes). Again, depending on the sensations I wanted to experience, I added more lube to replicate one thing or another but the sleeve was good with the standard original quantity of lube.

Use (4/5)
The only complain I have about the Vortex is the long "break-in" period. As I wrote on the introduction, I hated the mini-Vortex because it didn't feel right the first time I used it - what happened to me with the mini-Vortex had happened to a lot of Fleshlight users with the Vortex. You use it once and you feel frustrated by it - it makes you cum, but there is something missing. You find that "something missing" after a few more uses (twelve uses on my case) and then you realize how good the texture is. The "break" period is different for everyone, but it is at least 5 uses based on the FL forum comments. If the sleeve had a lower "break-in" curve, it would be perfect.

Hygiene (5 / 5)
As most Fleshlights, just place it under the faucet and flush between 30 and 60 seconds on both ends with running water. Not too difficult to clean.

Drying (5/5)
The Vortex dried pretty well overnight. It is good to mention that with the current colder weather, the sleeves takes more to dry, since air is colder and my apartment tends to remain humid during the day. That is until my landlord begins to provide steam later in the season.

Maintenance (5 / 5)
No special maintenance required for long term storage besides some corn starch. 

Tear and wear (5/5)
No tear and wear noticed after completing the evaluation periods.
 
Total score: 47 / 50

If you are considering a "classic" Fleshlight for either yourself or as a gift, the Vortex is a great choice. It is a pleasurable sleeve, versatile, and as said before, maybe the most realistic feeling texture I had reviewed from the ones available from Fleshlight. Just be aware of the "break-in" period / learning curve this texture has because the first few uses are frustrating.

As established in the captions, you can buy this toy from Fleshlight.com.

FYI: I barely used visual stimuli for these sessions. During the first two sessions I used "sleeping" / fake rape clips I downloaded from XVideos.com, then for the remaining three sessions I went with personal fantasies. Maybe I will share them here later or publish them at Literotica.com.

Next Stop: Spread Eagle SIAC (mini-Vortex).

The RP Project #12: Meiki Zhang Xiao Yu

First Impressions:

As I wrote for the Kasuni's review, "What's not to like from Asian women?" This installment of the Rubber Pussy Project deals with a toy considered the Cadillac of Asian sex toys: the Zhang Xiao  Yu Meiki. "Meiki" is a Japanese word meaning "good pussy" and most meiki toys delivers. The Zhang Xiao Yu (or ZXY) looks very interesting - the exterior is a miniature torso reproduction of the Chinese model Zhang Xiao Yu, and unlike other toys, the ZXY has a pink interior thanks to a double layer construction. The exterior layer is a typical Meiki soft material resembling flesh while the interior (the pink part) is a slightly stronger material with the textures to stimulate the penis. At first look, the interior textures are inviting: their shapes look organic, seemingly reproducing a real life vagina. Is the ZXY as good as people say? It is going to hold its ground after being pounded mercilessly or it is going to rip as the mini meiki? With those questions, I began the review of the well known meiki toy.

Intensity (5 / 5)

Something about the meikis that I really like is that their textures are very organic. You feel the textures as soon as you penetrate the toy and the sensations grow during use. The ZXY is not an exception. As I penetrated it, I could feel the different stimulation areas. During use, I not only felt the main stimulating surfaces, but also felt the more subtle realistic textures. The internal material has an almost natural stickiness to it and the moderate suction of the toy made me have five of the most powerful and pleasurable orgasms I had in my life. They built up in an extremely natural way - slowly and constantly until the complete ejaculation.

Tightness (4/5)
The ZXY is not too tight. It allows for liberal movement while providing constant stimulation.

Realism (5/5)
Honestly, penetrating the ZXY felt just like penetrating a juicy, horny vagina. If you are looking for realism, this is the toy to have.

Versatility (5/5)
Originally, I was afraid to use the ZXY hands free. After all, the material on the outer layer is so soft that I felt the pillows' covers would damage it. Well, I should not have feared. The ZXY worked perfectly on the hands free sessions as well on the stroking sessions. The textures felt sharper on the stroking sessions, making me ejaculate in 25 minutes while the hands free sessions lasted about 45 minutes. Adding to its versatility, the ZXY feels totally different when turned to replicate doggy style / missionary / scooping positions. Perfect score in this category.

Lubricant use (5/5)
The ZXY used one third of the lube I normally use with the full size Fleshlights, so it started on the right note. Once lubed, this toy retains lubricant perfectly requiring no additional lube even during longer sessions (45 minutes or more).

Use (5/5)
What can be said about the ZXY during use? It feels great, it uses just a few drops of lube, it is versatile, and it behaves almost as a real vagina. Perfect score in this category...

Hygiene (5 / 5)
At first I was afraid the ZXY would be a nightmare for cleaning. It ended being as easy to clean as my Fleshlights. I placed the toy under the dishwasher faucet and opened the faucet on a mid level pressure. The ZXY basically pushes the water back out, so I was not forced to scoop any semen from the interior of the toy - the flowing water cleaned the inside pretty well although the meiki is a closed ended toy. In addition, the ZXY can be cleaned with soap, allowing for a better hygiene if you are afraid of germs.

Drying (5/5)
Another surprise here. The ZXY dried pretty well overnight without any special drying method. To accelerate the drying, I used a microfiber cloth to avoid lint inside the toy.

Maintenance (5 / 5)
No special maintenance required for long term storage. 

Tear and wear (5/5)
No tear and wear noticed after completing the evaluation periods.
 
Total score: 49 / 50

Lets say this: If you want to have an experience with a masturbation toy, you MUST BUY the ZXY. With the proper care, this pricey Meiki (about $90) is a long-term investment you won't regret. If you are a virgin, this toy will allow you to experience something close to the real thing. If you are an experienced guy, the ZXY helps you to keep that libido under check. Anyway, the ZXY is a must have toy.

As established in the captions, you can buy this toy from ToyDemon.com.

FYI: The visual stimuli for these sessions was provided by Tokyo Hot. Seeing five guys unloading inside a late-20's Japanese woman is something to watch while having sex with a replica of a beautiful mid 20's Chinese woman.

More changes to the Rubber Pussy Project...

I know, I know, more changes...
 If you read my review of the Mini Meiki, those toys should be considered single use toys, so I am removing the mini meiki Kotone from the RPP and including the newly acquired Misty Stone's Swallow FLG. The new schedule is as follows:

  1. Lotus Lager Sex In A Can (US) - DONE
  2. Lupe Fuentes Mini Lotus FLG (US) - DONE
  3. Jesse Jane Gauntlet FLG (US) - DONE
  4. Tenga Flip Hole Black (JAP) - DONE
  5. Teagan Presley Love Humps FLG (US) - DONE
  6. Stamina Training Unit FL (US) -  DONE
  7. Ultra Tight  (Butt) FL (US) - DONE 
  8. Mini Meiki Chinatsu - DONE
  9. Jenna Haze Forbidden FLG (US) - DONE
  10. Katsuni Lotus Garden FLG (US) - DONE
  11. Jenna Haze Maze FLG (US) - DONE
  12. Mini Meiki Kotone - REMOVED from RPP
  13. Meiki Zhang Xiao Yu (JAP) - DONE
  14. Vortex FL (US) - DONE
  15. Spread Eagle SIAC (US) - DONE
  16. Alien FL (US) - DONE
  17. Misty Stone's Bump'n'Grind FLG (US) - DONE
  18. Vibro Pink Original Lady FL (US) - DONE
  19. O' Doyles Stout SIAC (US) - DONE
  20. Riley Steele Nipple Alley FLG (US)
  21. Wonder Wave FL (US)
  22. Super Tight Ice FL (US)
  23. Tenga Flip Hole White (JAP)
  24. Abbey's Secret SIAC (US)
  25. Succu Dry SIAC (US)
  26. Stoya Destroya FLG (US)
  27. Super Ribbed FL Butt (US)
  28. Sukit SIAC (US)
  29. Misty Stone's Swallow FLG (US)
  30. Vibro Cyclone FL (US)
  31. Clone Meiki Meguru Kosaka (JAP)
Due to the elimination of the Mini Meiki Kotone and the addition of the Swallow, the ratio between Japanese toys and Fleshlights is almost 10:1. Still, I should be able to provide good reviews. In the case of the Vibro FLs, I will distribute the sessions as follows: HF 3 bullets, HF 2 bullets, HF 1 bullet, HF no bullets, stroker 2 bullets. I am forcing myself to avoid buying additional toys until the end of the RPP (yeah right!).
