I will preface this review with the fact that I got this on a flash sale (30% - $35.98 down to $25.17).

I've gotten into using an auto stroker and strapping my toys to them lately. And it really changes up how these things feel and has given me new appreciation for some of these holes. I ended up getting a variety of cheaper things and even took the dive on some things on sale, which is how I ended up getting this one.

When using this by hand, it's not really all that interesting to me. It's incredibly soft, so most of what is felt is the multiple "cervix" gimmick. And this is coming from someone who likes them a bit softer, mind you. Giving it a firmer grip kind of works a bit better, but most of the texture is lost so I feel my fingers through it more than anything. It's not the worst, but I would rarely find myself picking this in the rotation as is. I didn't even bother trying to finish when trying it out.

Moving on to the machine method, however, makes it a lot more interesting. I've mentioned in other reviews that I have something called The Handy. The only relevant thing regarding it is that it goes up and down. Nothing else. It fits in the band included with it, and the upgraded one. It helps add tightness without losing it's shape. While I still didn't really feel too much more, I could tel there was more texture. Enough to make a very notable difference at least. I was able to finish with this one and while it didn't wow me, I wasn't disappointed either.

In the end, given that I had to use a workaround, I can't give it more than 3 stars. Had I paid full price, it would have been 2.

Oh and as a side note, I think the box art is really nice, but that won't factor in to the rating.

The main differences here from the tried and true Onatsuyuu are that it's a bit thinner, and also feels a little tacky/sticky once it dries. I like my lube to be a bit thinner so the texture is more present in the tunnel, but watering any down is an option. And I usually wash off in the bathroom after, so residue is hardly ever a bother to me. Lastly, the application is so much easier with this nozzle compared to others with the stubbier tips. I do wish the cap would screw on instead of just sitting on top with friction. I do worry about it popping off and spilling out.

It worked pretty well 'till one day, it ended up with permanent wet splotches on it, presumably from having absorbed/reacted with some of the toy material. I know this can happen if left in for too long, but it was well within the recommended timeframe. Maybe it was the hole itself, but I'm not sure. Either way, it never seemed to fully dry since and I got rid of it.

While this isn't my favorite lube, it's certainly in the top of it's game and am always happy to use it. What's so special about it? Nothing! And that's the best part. It does it's job, lasts long, doesn't require frequent application, no smells or other gimmicks. It just do. And it do good.

I have a couple of toys that are pretty large, but not hip/torso large. There were the perfect size where the regular would not have had a large enougn opening to store them. Just a little more cost here goes a long way and removes any doubts on storage size. Unless it's a hip or something of that size. I do sometimes shop elsewhere (GASP!) for things not offered by TD, but I always get bags from here since they are good and don't have weird quirks like staining toys. Had to toss/replace a few due to bad bags,
