Packaging
Product arrived in plain, discreet packaging, no labels or descriptions on the shipping box that suggests the kind of product was in the box.
The Packaging of the Maia Piper is simple, you get a carboard box with a magnetic clasp that holds your Maia Piper, a USB charging cable, a pair of high quality printed warranty card and instructions card.
I noticed the box isn't airtight sealed with a security sticker like other toys packaging ship with but it but has some shrink wrap on the toy to let you know it's brand new, not a big deal- less waste.
Design
Nice aesthetics and ergonomics, the opening of the masturbator resembles a pair of lips-seems suitable for the suction (blowjob-like) experience it provides. The pink silicone is eye-catching and the hit of chrome on the body looks luxurious, it's pleasing to the eye.
Product is rather long at 11+ inches and not too thick at 4.5 inches wide, but it is ergonomically shaped and not too fatiguing to hold.
Quality
The Maia Piper is made of medium-high quality. The product casing is soft, smooth and spotless, the control panel buttons have a satisfying clickily and tactile feedback with just the right amount of resistance. They also have uniform lighting when activated.
The sleeve itself is made of soft silicone that forms a super smooth canal without any ridges or bumps-no burs or manufacturing defects or seams here!
Although the toy itself is large, it has an ergonomic shape which makes it easy to hold with one hand. I tested the toy in the shower multiple times to confirm that it is definitely waterproof, the water actually enhances the suction performance, it runs fine in the shower without diminished performance. The vibration motors (yes two) are fairly strong.
The only meh quality or design is that the Maia Piper uses and older DC, "PIN" type charging connector that has to be punctured in the charging port which is not a hassle but it does make you question the long-term durability of the toy- it would have been nice to see a magnetic charging port for ease of use.
Experience
Product felt really good.
==The Fit==
I am average length (4.7 inches) and above-average girth and I fit just right i.e. enough to bottom-out the sleeve if I thrust my cock against the sleeve. However just inserting it, there's a little room to spare-so if you're around this size, I think to you will feel the suction sensation really well!
The smooth, soft silicone and canal shape really make the suction and air pulses feel strong on my penis. The suction and heat when used in combination with medium-high vibration is really pleasurable and I personally cannot last very long when the vibration is cranked up, it gets me over the edge where I can cum from this thing multiple times.
The toy gets noticeably louder when the vibration is enabled-keep that in mind.
I turned on the warming feature to warm up the sleeve in advance, add my lube and went to town. The suction feature really shines if you use the Maia Piper in the shower or use lots of water-based lube where it's intensified.
==Thoughts after use==
Albeit, this is my first suction-like toy other than the Arcwave POW (which uses passive vacuum, not using battery power), the Maia Piper blows the Arcewave POW out of the water when it comes to the sensations it provides. Also, the vibrations provided are more pleasurable when compared to penis-vibrators (like the Satisfyer Men's Vibration) that advertise blowjob-like sensations. The Maia Piper is just a cut above because it vibrates the glans and the shaft, the Satisfyer focused on your glans.
This toy is a joy to use in the shower, being that it's waterproof. The suction can suck-in water and spay a gentle jet of water on your glans which is pleasant.
The suction works best when you hold the toy against your pelvic bone to create a vacuum against your penis. I really like the button placement on the toy which allows a quick changes to new suction and vibration patterns to keep things interesting.
You can try stroking with the Maia but it's breaks the vacuum, causing suction goes away and squealy air vacuum noises ensure- it's not meant for that since this is advertised as an "automatic" masturbator where you put it on and let it do all the work.
I really liked the fact that you can individually toggle and control the Suction, Heating and Vibration independently so you can play how you want- build up with heat, suction and then vibration or go nuts and have all 3 all at once-pretty neat.
Performance
Yes, it met and exceeded my expectations. I had my doubts about the build quality, not knowing about the Maia brand and also was skeptical about the potency of the suction feature being capable of doing anything noticeable and I was pleasantly surprised after my first try.
The build quality is SOLID, it's soft to touch (inside and out) and it's actually waterproof.
The product really delivers on it's promises of suction and heating and vibrating functionality that are individually configurable .
The different suction and vibration patterns do offer noticeably different experiences and that this really cool to have, I won't get bored of this toy for a long time. I was satisfied with the product and pretty impressed with the performance.
The charging is okay, 2 hours of charge time for 40 mins of play.
Price
It's on the mid-high price at approx. 99-105 USD. However it's fairly priced because I feel like you're getting a solidly build product with decent, ergonomic design with a LOT of features.
I am not aware of any other heating and suction enabled strokers offered in the sub 100 USD range-price is fair considering the build quality, customizability and performance you're getting from the Maia Piper.
Materials and care
== Cleaning==
Product requires a little bit of time an patience to clean, but it's fairly easy to clean.
When you're done with your session, rinse the toy with your mild soap or Toy Cleaner and then activate the suction feature and repeat again to ensure that the toy is thoroughly cleaned- this takes maybe 1-2 minutes.
Please note a little bit more time is needed to ensure that the toy is fully dried because some water can get trapped in the suction valves, so having the suction function run for a minute to expel any residual water is needed to keep the toy fresh and clean. It's not that inconvenient.
== Charging==
The Maia Piper uses a DC Pin type charger that is not magnetic.
It takes about 2 Hours to fully charge which give you 40 minutes of runtime, a bit short.
It is rather nice that the lights on the toy indicate when it's charged.
