Ever since I got a Fleshlight (for my partner) I’ve become a snob when it comes to male masturbators. No matter how hard I try, I always find myself doing a comparison with the expectation and assumption that the almighty Fleshlight will rise victorious against the competition.
It doesn’t help that so many fake vaginas seem to run a distant fourth or fifth to the realism (both in feel and appearance), level of discretion and quality the Fleshlight line of products have to offer.
Having said that, I do think the porn star molded Pocket Pussies created by Doc Johnson (sent to me by the lovely folks at SexToy.com) come in at a very close third, especially for those of you on a tight budget. (*they’re only $12.89!!)
The Good
The first thing that impressed me was the appearance; not only does Ashtons Pocket Pussy feel relatively real, being soft to the touch and very much like skin, it’s also a close enough replica that I don’t feel any need to complain.
On top of the realistic appearance, I love that the user can adjust the level of stimulation and tightness simply by squeezing their hand (something the Fleshlight can’t do). The grooves on the outside make this task exceptionally easy, not to mention make it very comfortable to hold.
In regard to size the product measures 5.5 inches in total length and 1.5 inches in width. With that in mind, if you’re penis is longer than 5.5 inches you might want to consider something else as you will most likely find that your head pops out of the opening in the end. If however you are 5.5 inches or under, Ashton should be a perfect fit!
*I’m not sure if they were going for this but when looking at the hole in the opposite end, it seems it could easily be used as an anus, if you’re into that kind of thing.
For those of you that like the feeling of warmth the Pocket Pussies retain heat nicely; simply place them in warm water (not boiling) for up to one minute, then remove from the water and enjoy!
Testers Experience
As I’m sure most of you are all well aware, I sadly (for me) do not have a penis and therefor cannot enjoy or review these products the way I’d like. Fortunately I have many male friends that are more than willing to lend a hand, or erect penis, making these reviews a possibility:
*name has been omitted to respect privacy
Me: “So what do you think” *placing product in his hand*
Him: “Did you seriously just put a Pocket Pussy in my hand?” *laughing*
Me: “Sure did, so what do you think?”
Him: “Well, I’ll admit it’s interesting. It’s lighter than I thought it would be, feels squishy, doesn’t stink like those rubber toys and looks kinda real”
Me: “Does it look cheap?”
Him: “No, not really. Though it is much smaller than my Fleshlight which might be a good thing.”
Me: “If you saw it in a sex shop would you buy it?”
Him: “Probably not, I haven’t heard much about it and I don’t know how good it would be. Although, for under $15.00 it seems like a good deal.”
Me: “Well, if I give it to you will you promise to show it a good time?”
Him: “Give me a week…”
A week later…
Me: “So what did you think of Ashton?”
Him: “Okay, I have to say I was rather pleasantly surprised!”
Me: “Why?”
Him: “Well, first of all, it actually felt good. Not exactly like a real girl would feel, but it was close enough that I didn’t need to force myself to imagine it was something else. It’s really easy to use and it was really comfortable to hold onto. I love my Fleshlight but sometimes it’s a little tiresome, this wasn’t at all awkward or bulky. I also really liked that I could adjust how tight or loose it was. So many products they make these days are either way too small (tight) or make you feel like your f*cking a hole in the wall. This, for me anyways, was a nice change.”
Me: “Anything you didn’t like?”
Him: “I couldn’t put myself all the way in or the tip (of his penis) would pop out the other end. But that’s basically it”
Me: “How was cleaning it?”
Him: “A little messy, but a lot easier than cleaning my Fleshlight and there weren’t any other parts to worry about so it was pretty simple”
Me: “Would you suggest it to other dudes?”
Him: “Sure would! I think this would be good for most guys because it’s cheap, easy to use, feels close enough to the real thing and holds up to quite a beating”
There you have it folks, an honest review from a dude that actually used the product. Although I will admit, I’m still sad I couldn’t try it myself.
Cleaning & Care
Since they are made of body safe, hypoallergenic, non-toxic and phthalate free UR3 material I would only suggest a good water based lube as a silicone or oil based one will totally ruin them.
Keep in mind that because they are made of UR3 they are very porous and will absorb bodily fluids, lube and bacteria. To help keep them in good condition I suggest wearing a condom when you use them (though you don’t have to) which will limit the amount of fluids/bacteria that they come into contact with.
In regard to cleaning, I suggest you wash them well with either a gentle anti-bacterial soap (making sure to rinse them well) or use a good toy cleaner that will kill any bacteria without also ruining the product.
*Side note: You’ll probably notice that when you get your Pocket Pussy it will be covered in a powdery substance; this is to help keep the surface from getting sticky and/or tacky. To maintain the outer texture and appearance just dust it with either Renew powder (only $2.19) or Cornstarch. To do this simply put some on your clean hand and pat all over the masturbator. Once it’s evenly coated (not too heavily) wrap it in the plastic bag it came in and store it in a cool, dark place for next time.
*DO NOT dust the product with Talc or Baby Powder, both can possibly cause irritation and/or may not do much to maintain the products feel or appearance.
The Bad
One of my main complaints is the packaging. Sure it’s meant for guys and therefore would follow in the footsteps of other male sex products, having an image of the person/product on the box to help bring a level of excitement, arousal and/or desire, however it’s not the most discreet and for some people that’s a big deal.
Since it’s made of UR3 it’s porous which means it requires a bit more attention than other sex toys when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. On that note, if not dusted with Cornstarch or Renew powder (pictured left) after each use it will get sticky and tacky.
Speaking of being sticky, if not treated properly it will become a lint, cat hair, fluff and dust collector in no time. My suggestion, spend the money on the Renew powder and save yourself the headache.
As for whether or not it’s an exact replica of Ashtons va-jay-jay, I really have no clue. I compared it with a picture of her here (NSFW) and it looks pretty close so I’m not going to trash on it. That in mind, I know that Fleshlight uses actual molds of the girls vaginas to make their products which is why they are so realistic. Check out this video of Teagan Presleys mold being made.
Final Verdict
Sure, they aren’t as high in quality, nor as discreet as the ones Fleshlight make (since you don’t have the outer case to disguise them), but they do have different internal textures to offer extra stimulation, stretch rather nicely to accommodate different size penises, retain heat nicely, come in 6 different porn star molds, are made of body safe material, feel and look pretty real, are very affordable ($12.89) and while they require a bit more care than other sex toys, they are easy to clean and should last for a quite while.
Taking all of that into consideration, I just can’t help but think they are a great option for those on a budget or anyone looking to try something new.
