Belmar

My opinions after 5 years:
Length of tunnel:~4 3/4", ~12.2 cm
Effective length:~6 1/4", ~16 cm. Stretchy enough maybe for an extra 1 1/2" without discomfort, but the end is hyperthin
Weight :8.2 oz., 232 g
fumes :none noticeable now, don't remember any unboxing.
material :sightly sticky, moderate lint magnet, feels decent, ideal stretchiness and resilience
design flaws : 1) thin side walls. 2) hyperthin end. 3) Impractical and uncomfortable entrance
production flaws: 1) tunnel is way off center at the end. 2) Some interior structures did not form properly in the mold.
cleaning :tiny entrance
drying :tedius, but it holds itself open and will air dry somewhat, so drystick, ball, or sponge not necessary. paper towel or microfiber strip was fine.
lube :not lube specific. any worked for the tunnel, none worked for the entrance.
rating :zero

After several years of being stored open in a drawer, it is still the same length and weight listed on the Japanese website I just checked. So it has not been shrinking and off-gassing mineral oil into the air that I breathe. The material is still nicely stretchy and squeezy with a strongly elastic desire to return to its original form. No need for a dual material here.

There is a well designed constriction point towards the end with a well designed chamber beyond, which does not quite pop but produces a good sensation that works in both directions.

The entrance is a tiny plain round bore hole that does not taper on the inside or outside. This means on the outstroke there is a 90 degree angle tightly dragging against the skin. Same for the inward stroke. No lube helped and every lube dried out exactly where it was needed most. It hurt.

I noticed a review that mentioned a stinger at the end, so I turned it inside out. There was only an unformed blob that looked bent over and melted in. Other areas did not look quite right either. It did not matter because the tunnel is so misaligned that that there is no way to slide to the middle of the back anyway. The seemingly superior material is the only reason for not breaking through the side. This is an early example of quality problems that I have begun noticing frequently from many manufacturers in the last 15 months -before covid 19.

I looked at Toydemon's current product list in bestselling order under $20. I stopped counting items that work way better than this one when I got to twenty.

My opinions:
Length of tunnel:~5 5/8", 14.5 cm
Effective length:~6 1/8", 15.5 cm. Fairly soft, but not much stretch, lengthwise
Stroke length :short. = the distance between the base of the shaft and the head, minus maybe 1 inch for entrance and rose structure
Weight :584g, a newer soft version kept in an NPG ziplock bag:567g. Weight as listed on box: 630g
fumes :none noticeable now, don't remember any unboxing.
material :dual, slighty sticky, moderate lint magnet, feels decent, no noticeble residue on hand
design flaws : 1) lips of separate material. 2) the usual poor untapered punch hole entrance. Otherwise perfect.
production flaws:minor small tears at entrance that did not worsen. good, especially for magic eyes.
cleaning :easier than it looked
drying :tedius. drying stick: no, it drags. drying ball: works ok. mostly I use paper towel or microfiber cloth strip
rating :5+ as a niche product

This and it's soft sister version are underrated and merit consideration by those who think it might work. This regular version is currently not available in Toydemon's product listing. I see Japanese sites that are selling it, so it might be available for special order.

I have had 1 of these and 2 of the softer version. They earn a 5th star from me for being unique, creative, and completely successful at providing the sensation intended . I did not deduct 13 stars for the box art.

They are not suitable for everyone. They are not suitable for anyone all the time. The are not appropriate for someone who only has 1, or only 3. The learning curve is steep because passing through the rose is a tricky mind boggle. For me it got much easier. Not for a fast fap. Impatience requires switching to a different toy. An especially wide blunt glans could be a problem, or more importantly, especially wide blunt corpora cavernosa beneath the glans. Best for a wedge or arrowhead shape, but it works for me anyway. It might might be ok for a curved shaft (once in), because most of the tightness will be at the base.

I broke my first soft version. For a description of what happened, see previous reviewers. In my case, the cause of the break was stupidity. I became impatient and instead of working my way in, I simply pushed and waited. This worked two times, and broke it the third time. This was twice stupid, once for the break, and twice because figuring out how to get in is part of the fun. Unparalleled experience (occasionally) in the right frame of mind (patience) and body (hardness).

In terms of sensation, there is not much difference between the two versions. The softer one is slightly more difficult to get into, but has some stretch lengthwise. The regular version has very little stretch lengthwise, but mine has a slightly longer tunnel than my 2 soft versions. Go figure. With Magic Eyes, softer means more likely to tear.

The lips are stupid. The different materials do not mesh together well, and this contributes to tearing. I will have to cut them off the soft version when I smooth the entrance with a mini butane torch.

A few minutes with another toy as a fluffer might be helpful for some, as well as a few minutes of stretching the rose with a small bottle of lube or whatever. The stroke length is shorter than might be expected, the rose is a hard stop on the outstroke.

Highly recommended to those for whom it will be perfect. Good luck figuring out if that is you.

My opinions:
Length of tunnel:~5 1/4", 13.25 cm
Effective length:~7 1/4", 18.5 cm. I am guessing, it has some stretch.
Stroke length :short. = the distance between the base of the shaft and the head, minus maybe 1 inch for the entrance and rose
Weight :568g, a newer one kept in an NPG ziplock bag:567g, the regular version: 584g.
fumes :none noticeable now, don't remember any unboxing.
material :dual, slightly sticky, moderate lint magnet, feels decent.
design flaws : 1) lips of separate material. 2) the usual poor punch hole untapered entrance. Otherwise perfect.
production flaws: entrance rough with small tears that keep tearing. otherwise good, especially for magic eyes.
Washing: easier than it looked.
Drying : LOL, good luck.
