Review – Mantric Sysil Edge

Disclaimer: This post is not safe for work

Eden Fantasys recently gave me an opportinity to try out and review a new sex toy, the Mantric Sysil Edge. It’s a double-ended, dildo that requires no harness. Since I’m all about trying to find the perfect packing cock, I thought I’d give this a try.

What makes the Mantric Sysil Edge stand apart from other toys in it’s category, is the fact that it’s made to be used in multiple positions.

The “holding shaft” (which is the part that’s inserted into the person wearing it) is 3 3/4″ long and made of a very firm grade of silicone
the “thrusting shaft”, the other end of the product is made of a more flexible, yet still firm grade of silicone and is 5 1/2″ long – and not very gurthy
these two shafts connect via a joint called a holding pin, made of very hard silicone, which allows the toy to be used in four different positions
a plastic bullet type, push button vibrator that inserts under the base of the thrusting shaft and can be easily removed due the what Mantric calls
the “venting shaft” which is a small nub on top of the base of the thrusting shaft with a small hole at the end of it to allow air into the space for easy removal of the vibrator

I think Mantric had the right idea when inventing this product. it’s very high quality, it’s all silicone except for the vibrator which makes it possible to boil it to sterilize between uses. The venting shaft is a fabulous idea, because those little vibes can get stuck inside of toys due to the suction.

My personal experience with this product was not very good I’m really sad to say. I tried to use it in the different position and found that the most comfortable for me regardless of the sexual position was with the pin removed so that the shafts would move with me. The holding shaft didn’t work well with my anatomy and it slid out with every thrust regardless of position, with and without the holding pin. I repositioned it quite a few times and really tried hard to make it work, but it just wasn’t happening for me. I ended up grabbing my harness and using it that way which wasn’t too bad because we still got to experience the vibrations, but the wife and I both agree that we probably won’t be using this one again.

I liked the Share XL much better personally because, well, it worked.

Pros:

very well crafted
silicone
vibrates

Cons:

one size definitely doesn’t fit all
not at all phallic

This one only gets three stars from me.

Packer and Packing Strap Reviews

jess — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:40:48 +0000

Disclaimer: This post is NSFW. You’ve been warned!

A few months ago I reviewed a soft packer from Eden Fantasys called Mr Limpy (small). I have been curious how it compares to other packers on the market, so I decided to give the Mr. Limpy (extra small) a go.

Mr Limpy (extra small) is 3 1/2 inches long, realistically soft and very pink-even more pink than the Mr Limpy (small). The shaft does have some veins, the head is a proportionate size and shape, and the balls have wrinkles. What I like most however, is that it does pack a pretty realistic bulge. Its comfortable too, which is a definite plus.

Unlike it’s bigger brother, Mr Limpy (small), it’s shaft isn’t as long and heavy so it is able to stay put pretty nicely in the front pouch of my boxer briefs, or stuffed inside my briefs.

Though it feels pretty natural, and seems a more natural flaccid size, and rounded balls, the pink color really ruins it for me (you know how I feel about that). I really don’t get why it can’t be made in more realistic skin tones and balls that aren’t so symmetrical.

Another plus is that the Mr Limpy extra small can easily be converted into a stand to pee device. Maybe I’ll get more into that in another post.

Having it stuffed into my briefs really just makes me sweaty and because the material of the packer is already soft and sticky, it’s simply not very comfortable for a long period of time. When it’s stuffed into the front pouch of my boxer briefs, I have to close the sides off with safety pins. Also just plain annoying. Cleaning it and storing it gets to be a pain. Mild soap, and water pat dry then dust with corn starch.

So…. I managed to get my hands on the Mr. Right packing strap also from Eden Fantasys and that really helped me appreciate this packer much more.

Though it was designed to work with the Mr Right packer, this packing strap is a harness made of heavy black elastic that resembles a thick waistband of a pair of underwear.

The pouch in the front made of soft aslan leather and elastic to hold the balls in place and allow the shaft to hang free. It’s much more comfortable having soft leather up against me than sticky superskin material.

So, to summarize:

Mr Limpy extra small

Pros:

natural looking bulge
veins/wrinkles add nice touch
passes the squeeze test

Cons:

it’s pink
balls too symmetrical
a pain to clean

4 out of 5 stars!

Review – Hitachi Magic Wand

jess — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:36:05 +0000

Warning: This following is an adult toy review. May not be safe for work.

Hitachi Magic Wand

I’ve always wanted to try a hitachi magic wand because of the fact that they have a reputation for being super powerful and making people come hard. Not only that, but they plug right into a wall outlet and that is very convenient. I swear I have been keeping Dur@cell in business all by myself.

The thing is indeed very powerful, and also very loud (Tina calls it the jack-hammer) which is a definite disappointment for me because the last thing I want is to wake up people in the house when I need to get off really quick. I guess it’s good that it’s so powerful and can actually happen really quick, and it can, and it can and it can. Seriously this toy does the job and does it well.

Another great thing about this toy is that it gives awesome massages too. I think I might end up using it more on my neck and shoulders than anything else. It’s THAT good.

Edenfantasys.com sells the Hitachi Magic Wand and various attachments for it, so make sure you check out their website and pick one up!

Pros:

doesn’t require batteries!
very powerful
can be used with lots of cool attachments

Cons:

very loud
head is not silicone

Though I did like it a lot, the noise factor was really a turn off. I’ll try it again when I’m alone, but when people are around it’s just too damn loud and I feel paranoid.

This one gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Review – Share XL

jess — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:33:05 +0000

A while back, before I had surgery and got sick, I got a Share XL from Eden Fantasys. Luckily I got a few opportunities to try it out in between because I wanted experiment with it thoroughly before writing this review. This is what I thought:

Design/Size/Shape:

Fun Factory’s Share XL is a double- ended dildo which is shaped in such a way that it can be used without a harness and “hands free”. This was something that I found intriguing and very appealing when the it’s predecessor, the Share, first came on the market and I couldn’t wait to try it. The truth is that yes, it can be used hands free and without a harness and it works well once you get the hang of it. I’m not used to giving my kegels such an intense work-out when I’m packing, so this was something that I had to eventually get the hang of.

The part that the wearer inserts is a large oval shaped bulb that is mighty girthy. I recommend some foreplay before trying to wear it, and definitely a good lube job. Once it’s in it feels pretty secure, that is until the thrusting starts, that’s where the kegels come in because it did slip out a couple of times before I figured out how to hang onto it, with no hands of course. The bulb can also double as a handle for one on one action.

The penis part of the Share XL has 4 large ridges that have a sort of swirly shape to them and is just under 7 inches long (not XL in my book). It doesn’t look very realistic at all, which would have been an issue to me if my wife didn’t like the way the ridges felt inside, but she did! Now I am beginning to wonder if I should begin to try out more unrealistic cocks in the future. I would have rathered though if the Share XL looked more like a penis, the way the Share does.

The ridge at the base of the penis provides clitoral stimulation to the wearer which I really liked, The design of the Share XL is overall terrific, for a non-realistic in this class. I think that if the piece of silicone that connects the two ends was thicker or more rigid, I would have had a little bit more control though.

Material:

I was highly impressed with the quality of this toy. The Share XL is made of satiny soft silicone which means it can be sterilized by boiling it in water for a few minutes. This toy comes in Fuchsia and Black. I got the Fuchsia (would have much rather had a black one, but it wasn’t available so I was willing to deal). The packing impressed me as well, having magnetic cardboard flaps that covered the display case and it also came with some free samples of lube! Bonus!

Pleasure/Comfort:

Let’s just say the first time we used it, it wasn’t very long before I found out how much she really liked it. It felt good to wear it too, both with and without a harness and I know I’ll definitely be reaching for this one again in the future.
Overall:

A well made double-ended dildo that feels good to the one wearing it and the one receiving it. Suggestions for improvement would be a more rigid connecting piece and a more realistic shape/color and maybe some balls for those of us who like to look down and see something that resembles a natural penis.

Pros:

Well made silicone
Nice size/weight/shape
Can be worn hands free without a harness

Cons:

Not realistic at all
Connecting piece of silicone should be more rigid to ease control

On a scale of 1-5, I give Share XL 4 stars.

Cyberskin Dong with Magnet Power

I got a new “realistic” dildo to review from my friends at Eden Fantasys it’s called Cyberskin Dong with Magnet Power. I was pretty skeptical about this one but thought it sounded interesting and figured, why not? Here’s what I thought about this very interesting dildo.

It’s not all that realistic of a flesh color, but really good and realistic details on the shaft, head and balls, including veins and folds. It’s a realistic size and weight, and just looked right and felt good when strapped on – proportionate to my frame. It’s one of the more realistic feeling dildos I’ve seen or tried, and the texture is on point. I like how it’s sturdy, yet nice and flexible and my wife was immediately impressed by how it felt in her hands. It’s even a cock I’d use if I wanted to hard pack for some spontaneous fun. I’d recommend wearing tight fitting boxer briefs, looser pants and adjusting the harness in order for the cock to hang downward.

We decided to try it out condom-less, with my commando harness and the wife didn’t even have to speak because I could tell that she was really enjoying it. As for me, I thought it was easy to control and comfortable to wear, so comfortable in fact that I didn’t feel like I was wearing anything at all! This dildo made for a very realistic experience — easily controlled, versatile in terms of positions. Overall, I felt like this was a good extension of ME, which is very important to most trans men or people who prefer a realistic cock.

Despite the great experience (other than the off color), I really can’t say that the magnetic feature advertised had any noticeable effect. My wife couldn’t say either.

Pros:

Average size, which felt most realistic
Realistic weight and feeling to the touch; nice details on shaft, head and balls
Harness compatible; easy to clean;
Best part was how realistic it felt to me and wife.

Cons:

If the magnet did anything, couldn’t tell
Color was not realistic.

On a scale of 1-5, I give Magnet Power 4 stars

Review – I’m feelin’ Lucky.

jess — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:38:30 +0000

Warning - This is a sex toy review. It may not be safe for work.

Lucky

Last week, I received Lucky in the mail from my friends at Edenfantasys.com. Lucky is marketed as a average sized, realistic, silicone dildo with balls. I love that they decided to call it Lucky.

Lucky comes in two colors, “Flesh” and “Brown” – I opted for “flesh” since it was supposed to be realistic. When I first opened the package and saw it, I wasn’t overly impressed by the looks of it. The size was appealing, but I was a bit disappointed that it was so smooth and devoid of veins on the shaft or wrinkles on the balls; everything is very smooth. There are a few slights ridges and bumps on the shaft, but aren’t very realistic looking. I suppose the reason might be that it’s easier to clean if it’s smooth but I think that a little texture would make the appearance more realistic.

My minor disappointment was pretty much forgotten once I felt the weight of it and then strapped it on. When I caught a glimpse of it on me I was impressed at how much it actually looked like it could really be me. My favorite thing about Lucky is the size. At 7″ long (6″ insertable) and 1 ^3/4” in diameter, it’s probably the most average sized cock that I own so it felt very natural to wear in my new leather harness. Lucky is also nicely curved for G-spot stimulation, so that was a plus and since it’s not very long, it really does hit the g-spot when it’s inserted. It was also very easy to control, again feeling very natural and that is important especially for FtMs and butches and anyone who is going for the whole realistic f#cking experience, not to mention the receiving partner.

Lucky is made of silicone and can be washed in the dishwasher, or boiled in order to sterilize it, so that is definitely a major plus, one of which is very important to me because I hate having to use condoms.

Overall, I was really pleased with Lucky and think that of all of the cocks I own, this one will be the one I reach for most often due to it’s realistic size, color and ease of cleaning.

Pros:

Average size that seemed natural to wear
Color is pretty close to mine
Curved shaft
Balls
Harness compatible

Cons:

Needs some more texture
Head could be slightly rounder, less pointy

On a scale of 1-5, I give Lucky 4 stars.

Editor’s Pick

Outlaw Leather’s The Fix by Beautiful Dreamer

It also works very nicely for when he has already came multiple times and I still want more- I strap this on him, set him in a chair, and fuck myself silly. He enjoys watching me get off, I enjoy the intimacy I still feel by being connected to him, and I have my blissful orgasms.

Editor’s Note: Not only is this a wonderful review, as always, from Beautiful Dreamer, but just recently my girlfriend and I were remarking how we needed to try a thigh harness and so of course there was not one but two thigh harness reviews in this week’s list, gotta love when things like that happen. I hadn’t seen The Fix before, and it’s a gorgeous product worthy of this great review.

Review – I’m Going Commando!

jess — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:31:54 +0000

Warning: This post may not be safe for work.

It’s time yet again for another Jess I Am sex toy review! I have been looking for a new leather harness to break in and become my everyday-go-to harness and my friends at Eden Fantasys were kind enough to send me the Commando to review.

When I opened up the package the smell of the leather made me want to try it on right away. My wife just happened to be taking a shower, so it was the perfect opportunity for me to get ready . It was really easy to put on, and I liked that the waist straps are connected by belt buckles rather than D-rings. The back straps, or strap, if you choose to use the harness as a thong style does however fasten with D-rings. I wear a size 38 in pants and the fit was great. I wouldn’t recommend it for guys with a waist larger than 38″ since I didn’t have a whole lot of room to play with.

The leather felt soft against my skin, and the harness was overall very comfortable. I grabbed one of my cocks and had no trouble fitting it through the O-ring in the harness. The cock was firmly held up against me in exactly the right place and felt very natural. The one thing that I thought was odd about the harness, was that even though it was fastened snugly and the cock wasn’t able to move around, the front part of the waistband (the horizontal strap right in the front that forms the top of the ‘upside down triangle’) was somewhat loose. Maybe to leave room for a bigger belly. It didn’t effect performance at all, but I just found it odd.

The O-ring that came with the Commando is a flexible rubber one and about 1 ^7/8″, which worked well, but I think I will pick up a set of O-rings in various sizes to go with this harness so that I can accommodate my dildos of various girths.

When my wife entered the room, it was so on. I used the Commando the two-strap way and it held up very nicely. There was no sliding around or lack of control. I honestly didn’t feel like I was wearing anything due to the minimalistic design of the harness. I really appreciated the fact the open crotch allowed the balls on my cock to be free and my wife to touch me very easily. I’m happy to say that I will definitely be going Commando again!

Pros:

Soft Leather
Comfortable fit
Minimalistic design

Cons:

Wouldn’t be able to accommodate a waist size of over 38″
Front strap was a little loose, but it’s an aesthetic “Con”

On a scale of 1-5, I give this harness 5 stars!!

Review – Marcos Banderas Uncut

jess — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:33:00 +0000

Warning! Not safe for work!!!

Last week I got a new realistic dildo to review. It’s called the Marcos Banderas Uncut Cyberskin. It’s apparently modeled after a porn star with that name, though I am not familiar with him.

It feels very real, so that’s a big plus. Speaking of big, this guy is HUGE. It’s 8.5 inches long and 2″ in diameter. That wouldn’t be a bad thing if it didn’t weigh a whole pound!

It was actually pretty close to my skin color, and it looked very realistic when I strapped that sucker on. One negative about cyberskin is that it’s best to use a condom with it since it can’t be boiled like pure silicone cocks can be. Another negative about a cyberskin cock with that much girth is that it’s hard to have a condom that will fit over it. I broke the first condom I grabbed trying to get it on, so we opted to just skip it. Good thing we’re monogamous and aren’t worried about getting pregnant.

Once it was on and poppin’ I felt like I had a lot of control of it (maybe due to the weight?) It was a lot of fun to play with and the wife seemed to really like the feel of it inside of her. This cock is “uncut” and the foreskin actually moves back off of the head when you pull back on it so that was fun. I wish it came in a smaller size because it would be perfect to use as a functional packer. It’s VERY realistic looking. It ended up being really easy to clean with soap and water.

Pros:

Very realistic looking and feeling
matched my complexion
nice girth
easy to control while strapping
it’s fun to jerk off since the foreskin moves

Cons:

It’s a bit too big
really heavy
not silicone/can’t boil it
the base/balls weren’t very realistic.. a bit hard.

I liked this cock, but it’s definitely not the one I’d go to on a regular basis. For that I’d stick with something a bit more average sized and silicone.

On a scale of 1-5, I give the Marcos Banderas cock 4 stars.

Packer Review

jess — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:40:36 +0000

Warning! The content below is not safe for work.

I was contacted by Eden Fantasys to do some adult toy reviews and figured it would be fun since I was looking for a couple of things anyway.

So, last week I got a packer in the mail called Mr Limpy. LOL. I’ve been packing with it for the past few days and overall I think it’s a great product.

Mr Limpy is a packing dildo made by Fleshlight and comes in two sizes. Small and extra small. I have the small (which is really quite large for a flaccid cock). It took me a minute to get passed the name of the packer, since I really have a hard time taking anything called Mr. Limpy seriously. Once I got passed the name I had to get passed the color of it. It’s pink. Pastel pink. I’m not a big fan of pink, and wish it were a more realistic color. I managed to get passed the color too, since when it’s in my underwear, I can’t see the color- I see and feel the bulge and that’s what’s important.

The cock is made of “superskin” which is quite realistic looking and feeling. The realism has a draw back though. The balls are flat on the back and I think that Fleshlight should consider revising the shape a bit to make it more realistic.

It’s comfortable to wear, even though I don’t have a strap for it. What I did was stick it in the front “pouch” of my boxer briefs and it stayed in place pretty well even though I was wearing loose jeans/pants. Tina thinks it’s very realistic looking and feeling when it’s packed which makes wearing it that much hotter for me.

I’ve worn it to work, and out to social events and felt really comfortable. A FtM friend of mine noticed and said it looked good. Score!

Overall, I really like the quality of the product, but I think that if the name, color and shape of the balls were improved I’d be much happier with it!

Pros:

Reasonable price (can’t go wrong at $14.95)
great size
realistic texture and shape
awesome bulge
comfortable
easy to clean

Cons:

Color!
Name!
Flat balls

On a scale of 1-5, I give Mr. Limpy four stars!
