Launch Postponed...

Well, Casquetero.com was not launched on July 20 as expected...

My injured hand decided to go on strike and had been hurting like hell since last week. My witch doctor gave me a few pills and a compression glove to avoid inflammation when typing (and surprisingly it helps), but I can only type at my lowest speed ever besides pecking at single keys!

Doctor: "I told you to STOP MASTURBATING!"
Casquetero: "I could not hear you with your fat ass on my face!"

So the website will be launched later... Will keep you guys informed.

BTW, I will have limited Internet access during the next weeks, so if I don't respond to your comments as usual is simply because I can't...

See ya!

Doll Review: 1-AM's Natasha (TC1101)

As you guys know, I am working on the new website - and it has been a nightmare! First, I realized how much I have forgotten about web design - the last time I made a website was 8 years ago - and then I injured my right hand. Nothing major, but it stills hurts when I type... But the plan is to launch Casquetero.com before July 20.

But as busy as I could be with the website and other things I have to do this month, I don't stop trying new toys. It's an addiction! :)

The latest toy is a small Chinese solid doll from my pals at 1-AM. They recently launched their American website - IAMDollUSA.com - offering a selection of dolls manufactured by their company in China. They have inflatables, fabric, silicone, and even TPE dolls, but I went for their smallest and lightest solid doll: Natasha.

Just out of the box.

How is this small lady? Let's go to the review for the details...

The doll

Natasha is one of the entry level models of 1-AM. It is a small doll (47 inches tall) and it looks like one of those "My Size" dolls targeted to girls, but modified so it has sexual capabilities. That is the controversial part of the doll - at first look, it seems to be a modified kid's toy. But those are just first impressions.

In "person" the doll is more mature than expected. The doll is the same height as a 6-years old girl, but its proportions are of a young grown-up. The body has adult definition and shape with its torso having curves on the right places to hint a developed body. The breasts IMO are the best part - a pair of silicone breasts that look and feel great. Of course, the genital area had been modified so a big masturbator (included with the doll) fits easily. The doll is made of plasticized rubber which is hollow, but 1AM fills the body with poly-fill adding weight and consistency to the material. All the body with the exception of the breasts is made of the same rubber material.

The doll is a sturdy little woman, with legs and arms that rotate 360 degrees. She is able to support most of her own weight (about 13 pounds) and being light, she is easy to "play" with.

Introducing "Natalia"

When you order the doll  at IAMDollUSA.com , you have the chance of selecting between two faces - the standard "Asian" face (available with either black, brown, or blonde rooted hair) or a more mature looking "European" face (available with blonde rooted hair). Regardless of the options chosen, the doll arrives ready to use, dress with simple lingerie and the masturbator.

The ordering process is relatively easy since you can use the order page on the website or email your order to their representative in the US. Either way, you can expect your doll in the given period of time. My Natasha arrived 12 days after I paid her, even when my order arrived during a Chinese holiday.

The Masturbator

The included masturbator is a big closed ended toy with vaginal and anal orifices. The vaginal  orifice has a realistic texture that is enjoyable with moderately high stimulation while the anal orifice has a shorter depth and is smooth. Personally, I enjoyed more the vaginal orifice and placed a small bullet vibrator inside the anal canal.

If the masturbator was a separate item, I would give it the following score:

Immediate Feedback: 4/5
Orgasm Buildup: 5/5
Realism: 4/5
Tightness: 3/5
Tear and Wear: 5/5
Hygiene: 4/5
Maintenance: 4/5
Use: 5/5

Total: 34 / 40

Using the doll

The Natasha doll is really easy to use. First, it is light, allowing you to move her around with one hand without issue. Second, it is small - at barely 4 feet tall, it is easily concealed in a closet or inside a carry-on bag after you disassemble the head and limbs (which are pretty easy to remove and replace).  The legs and arms rotate to allow basic positions, not as many  as a high-end doll, but many more than expected. The material is strong and resistant, so you can be creative with your Natasha.

Two things: You can easily pop the limbs out during play, but they are easy to replace to continue the session. The second is the hair. The doll comes with your selection of black, brown, or blonde hair but be warned that it is rooted hair. If you are not a big fan of rooted hair, you can cut it and use wigs with your doll, just like I did.

If you don't like the included masturbator, you can replace it with a similar sized sleeve. I used the AINO Mature Vagina with my Natasha doll (named Natalia) and although not a perfect fit, it worked nicely to add some variety.

Score
Looks: 5/5 - Incredibly cute
Realism: 4/5 - She is a scaled down young lady. If the ass was as squeezable as the breasts, she would have been perfect...
Mobility: 5 / 5 - Lightweight enough to move with one hand. Easy to hide.
Fuckability - 4/5 - Limited positions, but enough to be fun to play. Accept other big masturbators.
Durability - 5/5 - Natasha is pretty sturdy

Total: 23 / 25
Value: High
Preference: High

Verdict:
The Natasha is a good introduction to solid dolls. If you want to experiment with a solid doll and don't have too much space or want something easy to move and store, this doll is perfect for you. With a price below $400, it is a good durable doll to have in your harem.

RPP 3.0 #47: AINO Mature Vagina (RPP #100)

Recently, a reader of this blog pointed that you could buy Japanese sex toys in Amazon. Although true, most of the Asian toys I found in Amazon were not Japanese - they were Chinese! You have your TENGA and NPG products, but you will also find Chinese brands like AINO. This Chinese company has begun to show their products in the USA and they are a good option for those who simply cannot afford $80 for a high-end meiki. Are they worth at least half of that? Let's see the review! 

General Description

The AINO Vagina comes in two models - Girl and Mature. Externally, both look exactly the same, but their canal designs are different. The main difference among both models is the width of the canals, with the Girl being the tight model and the Mature a very loose one with pronounced G-Spots.

Both toys are closed end toys, meaning they will have a nice suction (and will make those cute pussy farts noises). They on the medium size, measuring about 5.5 inches long and 3 inches on their widest part. They are on the heavy side, weighting 17 ounces (about 490 grams) and are made of the infamous TPE material.

Review

To begin, AINO doesn't spend much on packaging. When you buy this toy, it comes in a sealed poly / metallic bag with the product identification  label and nothing else - no cute graphics or photos, no lube sample... nothing.

The material will have a rubbery odor common to TPE products. It will decrease after a few days, but some people are very sensitive to this smell, so you are warned.

The important thing is how does it feel - and the Mature Vagina feels good... The texture is not too intense, being on the more realistic spectrum of toys and as expected, it feels loose and comfy when you penetrate it. The G-spots on this toy are very pronounced, so when your penis begin to swallow before orgasm they hit you like a wall of bricks. The toy will allow you to build up your pleasure and you will find yourself fucking this toy without mercy.

Cleaning is pretty standard  for closed end toys. Just be sure to clean completely after use and allow to dry before storing.

Score:

Immediate Feedback: 4/5
Orgasm Buildup: 5/5
Realism:5/5
Tightness: 3/5   
Tear and Wear: 4/5  (Small tear on the orifice after a few uses)
Hygiene: 4/5 
Maintenance: 4/5 
Use: 5/5 


Value: High
Total score:  34 / 40


Preference: High

Verdict:
With prices ranging between the $15 (E-bay) and the $25 (Amazon), the AINO Mature Vagina is an excellent option for those wanting to experience a realistic toy, but don't have $80  on the budget for toys. Be warned that the toy has a rubber smell that can be strong during the first few uses.

FYI:

I used the Muko Gel and Slick Specialist as lubes for my sessions with this toy. My fake ladies Lisi (Meiki Plush Doll) and Natalia (a new 1AM doll) assisted during the hands free sessions.

Also, I watched 3rd World Media's  Naughty Little Asians #29 as inspirational material during this review.

Casquetero.com coming in July!

Yes, I finally decided to open an "official" website: Casquetero.com

Since I am still in the design phase, the website will be up and running by mid July (hopefully) and will have the following:

• Reviews grouped by toy type
• Free e-books / minitutorials about sex toys and how to use them
• Articles and other stuff I find interesting...

Why a website? Well, for starters it is a lot easier to keep "archives" on a website since I can control directly the organization of the site. Also, Blogger is implementing new rules for adult-themed blogs and I don't want them to delete it due to a link. 

I plan to keep the blog mostly to comment on news or about new sex toys I see around.

If you have anything you would like to see on the website, let me know by commenting here, posting on Facebook or Tweeter. (Just remember - this is a hobby for me!)

Stay tuned!

Rpp 3.0 #46: Jesse Capelli Pocket Pussy (RPP #99)

I honestly have no idea who Jesse Capelli is - but her Pocket Pussy looks fantastic!  As I had said before, I'm not a big fan of UR3 toys, but that does not mean I won't buy a few on sale. I got this Pocket Pussy for less than $10 and to my surprise, it ended being a pretty good toy for the money. Lets go to the review for the details... 

General Description

The Jesse Capelli Pocket Pussy is one of the products from Doc Johnson's realistic vaginas featuring porn stars like Jenna Jameson, Belladona, and Sasha Gray among others.

Like the other pussies in the collection, this toy is a relatively small toy - 6 inches long, about 5 inches girth - and has extremely real looking pussy lips

. 

The texture of these toys is usually ribbed, and the Jesse Capelli pussy is ribbed as expected. The ribs are of medium thickness and spaced every half inch or so. That means that the toy should be a middle intensity toy, not as intense as a Fleshlight supper ribbed, but stronger that a Wonder Wave. The canal is not too tight, and the material is pretty stretchy, although not as much as Fleshlights or meikis.

Of course, as all UR3 toys, it has the damn fruity smell that will stop bothering you after a few days. 

Review

Well, I mentioned that this toy surprised me, so let me tell you how...

The Jesse Capelli is designed to be used as a stroker, but it fits perfectly on Ada, my Love Venus R doll, so I used the toy as an insert for that doll. The experience was 10 times better than I expected!

First, the Pocket Pussy is not too tight, so when you penetrate it, it feels loose, allowing your penis to accommodate inside it. Once you start pumping, the ribs do their job - softly, but definitively doing their thing. After 10 minutes I found myself fucking the doll as if there was no tomorrow, cumming in no more than 30 minutes. Using it as a stroker did not change much - I was pumping hard and fast after 10 minutes and cumming before 30 minutes into the session. 

Now, don't expect earth-shattering, explosive orgasms with this toy. Orgasms simply creep on you and keep building until you simply cannot hold anymore. They are satisfactory and will leave you with a smile on your face, but they are not going to shake your world. 

Cleaning is easy thanks to the open ended design, just flush with running water and let air dry for a few hours. The pink color on the pussy lips is going to wash out after a couple of washes.

Score:
Immediate Feedback: 4/5
Orgasm Buildup: 5/5
Realism:3/5
Tightness: 3/5   
Tear and Wear: 5/5 
Hygiene: 5/5 
Maintenance: 5/5 
Use: 4/5 

Value: High
Preference: Medium

Total score:  34 / 40


Verdict:
The Jesse Capelli Pocket Pussy is a good toy, no matter if you are a beginner or a collector. The toy looks realistic and feels good, surprising you with how quick you  will reach orgasm. For about $20 (average selling price), it is a good toy to play with.

FYI:
I used the new Slick Specialist lube for my sessions with the Capelli. As established above, my Love Venus R helped for the hands-free sessions. 

BTW, a photo of the model...

You're welcome!

RPP 3.0 #45: Mood Pleaser Orange (Zig Zag) (RPP #98)

Finally life is going back to normal, so I can come back to write reviews! Today's review is for another model of the Mood Pleaser line from Doc Johnson. The Mood Pleasers are a series of four sub-$20 masturbators, each with a different color and internal texture. I already reviewed the white model (Mood Pleaser Massage Beads), and today I will be reviewing the orange one - The Mood Pleaser Zig Zag. 
Without further interruptions, lets go to the review!  

General Description

The Mood Pleaser Zig-Zag (Doc Johnson)

Like the rest of the Mood Pleaser collection, the Zig Zag is a small masturbator with a very tight entrance and a modern design that does not scream "sex toy". It basically has the same external shape than the Mood Pleaser Beads, with the main difference  the color - the Zig Zag is bright orange -  and the the texture. Where the Beads had a nice regular array of massage bumps, the Zig Zag has a design of capsule shapes bumps arranged in a zig zag pattern. Like the other toys in the Mood Pleaser line, it is an open-ended toy designed to be used as a stroker.

Review

The MP Zig Zag is a simple - and effective - toy. The texture is basic, but well used, it does a good job on helping you to reach your orgasm. Forget about realism with this toy - the exterior design is completely abstract and the interior design does not even try to feel real. The job of this toy is to give something different when masturbating and, in that, it delivers.

Zig-Zag texture (Doc Johnson)

The sensations are mild at the beginning of the session, but as your penis gets used to the toy and the lube is being used, the bumps and their zig-zag design become more and more noticeable. If you like to extend your sessions, stroking slowly, the Zig Zag will become a good toy for you because the sensations are at their best when hitting those bumps at slow speed. You will feel the change in direction of the bumps and you will be surprised by your orgasm. It won't be strong in intensity, but it will be long and pleasurable. 

If you prefer to go for a quickie, the Zig Zag also delivers enough intensity to curl your toes if you use a thinner lube that allows you to feel the bumps. Using faster strokes, the texture becomes intense, and you will be cumming after a few minutes.

Using the Mood Pleasers can be tricky due to the tight entrance. Personally, I don't even bother with it - I penetrate the toy through its back orifice, which is wider and a lot easier to penetrate. You have to remember that this is a small toy, so if you have a large / thick penis the Mood Pleasers could not be right for you. Cleaning is as easy as flushing with running water and then allowing it to air dry.  

Score:
Immediate Feedback: 4/5
Orgasm Buildup: 4/5
Realism:2/5
Tightness: 4/5   
Tear and Wear: 5/5 
Hygiene: 5/5 
Maintenance: 5/5 
Use: 3/5 

Value: High
Preference: Medium

Total score:  32 / 40


Verdict:
The Mood Pleaser Zig Zag is a good toy for beginners or if you want to add some variety for your foreplay. The texture takes a while to get used, but once you understand it, the Zig Zag is an entertaining toy to use. For about $15, it is a good toy to play with.

FYI:
I used the new Slick Specialist lube for my sessions with the Zig Zag. My Eri Nanjo doll assisted during the hands-free sessions.
