Fascination Sleeve from Gender Cat Review

Design

Simple but useful

This ftm stroker called the Fascination Sleeve from Gender Cat has a very simplistic design and is very easy to use. It is made from 100% body safe silicone and is safe, even on sensitive skin. It is hand poured and has a unique marbling design on each stroker. You can choose from 14 different colors, two internal textures and three opening sizes to fit one's needs. The two internal textures come in "bumps" or ridges" and the opening sizes are 1/2in (1.25cm), 3/4in (1.8cm) and 1in (2.5cm). The opening sizes are not exact due to the product being handmade and subject to minor creation flaws. The entire toy measures from approximately 3 1/2in (8.89cm) in length to 2in (5.08cm) in width. This makes it very easy to store. I also find the shape very subtle and easy to blend in, if it is accidentally left on table.

Quality

Durable and pretty to play with

The silicone is flexible but still has some firmness. It was very easy to squeeze but still maintains its shape. The toy was durable and there were no issues with any rips or tearing. Even through multiple uses and many squeezes this toy has remained very sturdy.

Experience and Performance

Strong hold and good suction

The toy has a good suction. The suction was so strong I was able to just dangle the toy off of myself and it stayed firmly in place. The texture of the bumps felt really good. The stroker goes all the way to the bottom of the toy, so that it has plenty of room for stroking and suction.

I think the toy did a very good job for what it is advertised for. The suction held up very nicely and the ease of use maintained true. Every once in a while, I would not be able to get a proper suction. But once I was able to reposition my grip on the stroker and squeeze the whole stroker, it provided the suction I was looking for. The toy came with two silver packages of water-based lube and an instruction manual. The manual warns about the risks of suction on those areas and recommends a 15-minute limit on play. It also explicitly states the need to use lube with the toy. The water-based lube was very watery. It felt like more water than lube. It does well with the toy, but the lube is very runny and I would caution to use a towel underneath it.

Materials and care

Body Safe and minor care difficulties

The material is 100% body safe silicone. I have very sensitive skin, and I had no issues with the product. There are minor creation flaws in sizing due to the product being hand poured. I did not find any issue with those flaws and found the toy to be very durable during cleaning. The only real issue I would worry about is trying to clean the inside of the toy. I have small hands so my finger can reach inside of it. But for those who cannot do that, I recommend using a brush similar to ones for a straw. Cleaning the inside can get messy, as reaching a finger inside to scrub causes water to shoot out of it.

Packaging

Thoughtful

The toy was packaged with two silver pouches of lube and an instruction manual. The actual packaging for the stroker was in a snack bag like what one would buy from the grocery store. So, I dock it some points for that. But I do actually use that baggie to store the toy, so I don't completely find issues with it. The plastic bottle is my own personal item, but I emptied the pouches of lube into it. When it was first put in, the lube filled all the way to the top of the bottle.

Price

$30 plus shipping

This is the most affordable thing on the Gender Cat website. And it is also the most affordable ftm stroker I have ever found. I think this product was well worth the $30 plus shipping.
