Blush Performance Textured Tickler Penis Sleeve

I’m not sure that my review of this product is especially useful as I struggled to use it in the intended manner. Straight out of the box it is an impressive sight to behold and it looks like it should be amazing (hence why I offered to review it), but once you get to grips with it the design flaws begin to appear.

First of all it is really thick, and not in a good way. The product information covers how long it is (and it is really stretchy so one size really does fit all) but not how thick the walls of the material are. Apart from the obvious spikes along the length and around the head, the length of the shaft is also ribbed. At its thickest the walls of the sleeve are easily 5mm thick. It says on the box that it warms to body temperature, but when my partner tried it on he said it just felt like cold plastic.

For the man involved wearing this sleeve isn’t a particularly pleasant experience. The walls are so thick that you can’t feel any of your partner’s body heat and that really detracts from the intimacy of the act. Also the inside of the sleeve is entirely smooth, so it is mostly about the pleasure of the receiver as opposed to the giver.

As for the giving, that wasn’t the smoothest experience either. When empty the overall girth of the sleeve is 5 inches around the head, including the spikes. It doesn’t sound particularly thick, but I really struggled to accommodate it. My partner has a large penis to begin with, so once this sleeve was on him there was no way he was going to fit inside me. So instead I tried using it slipped over my slimmest dildo (Lovehoney’s Galaxy Sensual Glass Dildo), but even then it just would not go in, even with lots of lube and considerably more patience. I have the Lovehoney Basics dildo, which has a circumference of 5 inches as well, and I can fit that in but not this sleeve.

I think this is partly down to the design. Unlike extender sleeves that have a solid, smooth shaft, the spikes are difficult to lubricate properly and so they snag on everything you push them up against. As a result it was pretty much impossible to get the whole head inside me (I don’t even want to consider how much trickier it would be if the receiving partner had a fuller bush of pubic hair to contend with as well). Even on a smaller-girthed appendage the material is just so thick and unwieldy that I think most women would struggle to fit this inside of them, certainly not comfortably.

So my test drive of this sleeve somewhat stalled before it even got going. I do have what I have been led to believe is a somewhat smaller-than-average vagina (due to being very short and never having had children), so perhaps the problem lies with me. Not to put it too bluntly then, but if you have given birth things downstairs may be looser and more accommodating to this sleeve. I would strongly advise against purchasing this sleeve. Though if you’re really curious it’s not particularly expensive, and if all else fails I suppose you can always turn it inside out and use it as a male stroker.
