Hot Octopuss PULSE III Solo Vibrating Male Masturbator

Wow. I have tried many male masterbators and have never been able to get off with any of them. I was hopefully optimistic when I ordered the Pulse III Solo. Boy am I glad that my wife talked me into it.

The second it arrived, I plugged it in for a good charge. Dropped my drawers and stuck my cock in it. I hit the button and within 45 seconds I was shooting the most mind-blowing, toe curling load of cum that I can ever remember. The sensation is amazing and like nothing I had ever experienced. My wife could not believe that the cum just kept cumming and cumming.

My cock is 6" hard and a medium to large girth. This beauty fit me just fine.

I highly recommend this toy. For an added mind-blowing experience I paired it up with my cock ring and prostate massager. Wow. I didn't know I could cum so hard.

Unfortunately this arrived the day before I left for a holiday, so I knew what I had but had no chance to try it out. The only thing I could do is take it out of the packaging and have a look.

The packaging is actually very good, very up to date, e.g. no 80s-looking female models holding the product on the box. It looks quite contemporary. The only bit that confused me was the bearded guy on the top. I was a bit confused why they added that.

The product comes with a nice quality drawstring bag and a USB charger. I like how toys seem to be going this way as it saves on space.

Charging seems to work, whichever way you put the plug on, though it is quite easy to knock it off its charging points, so make sure you are charging it somewhere that it is not going to get knocked.

On opening it up I first thought that the wings looked like a Manta Ray. They are amazing creatures (I have swam with them), so I hoped this product would be the same and I wasn't disappointed.

I've always had a problem with guy toys. Being blessed (I sometimes think hindered) in the size department means that most guy toys are too small. This with the wings and opening wrap around your member and can accept any size, but if you are big you will still need to keep a hold on to it as it will fall off.

The box says you can use it hard or soft and with or without lube. I've tried it all ways and can say it works. It's the first time I have tried a toy starting soft with no lube and just letting the vibrations do what they do. It's a different type of orgasm and one I want to repeat more.

As the toy is waterproof it is great for some shower fun and it also makes it very easy to clean.

When you switch the toy on it goes onto the straight vibration settings. It always goes onto a medium vibration strength setting which can be changed depending on your mood.

The top setting is strong, though, and it does make a bit of noise, but it's worth it! You can then cycle through the pulsing programs. Number 5 is my favourite. It's three short vibrations followed by one long one, then repeated.

Overall I think it's a product every guy should have. Well worth the money, it seems very good quality, and the feeling I get is that it will take quite a bit before it needs to be replaced.

My partner has never been one for conventional male-orientated sex toys. Disembodied artificial vaginas and various other orifices are just not his cup of tea, which to be honest, I can understand. However, over my years of reviewing and blogging about toys, I have amassed quite an intimidating collection, yet he didn't have a single one to his name, which just didn't seem fair.

At times we discussed what sort of products he might be interested in giving a go but most things just didn't appeal, either because of looks, materials used or just his general lack of interest in generic masturbators.

One thing he did decided he'd like to play with more is vibrations on his penis. On my suggestion he experimented with my We-Vibe Touch and Doxy and had a pretty great time, so I researched male vibrators and the only ones to really grab my attention were those by Hot Octopuss. The Pulse III seemed to tick all my partner's boxes - no fake vaginas or anuses, it's made of silicone, waterproof, and rechargeable. I planned to buy it for Christmas anyway but we were lucky enough to be sent one as a tester which was brilliant!

The packaging is basic but very sleek and tasteful - something that was quite important to my partner as any weird gurning pornstars on the box would have been an instant turn-off. We did have a little giggle at the random bearded model on the lid, though! Inside the box you get the Pulse III, a magnetic USB charging cable, an instruction manual and a nice little branded storage bag. It is recommended to charge the toy fully before use, which apparently can take up to 3 hours, however, ours was done sooner than that.

We were both very impressed with the looks and build quality of the toy. The silicone of the "usable" area is silky smooth (as you'd hope!) and the wings are very flexible to ensure comfort. My partner's penis is on the girthy side (6 inches circumference) and fitting him in was no hassle at all so I do not hesitate in saying that the Pulse III will fit any guy. The "base" (bit of the toy that rests in your palm during use) is shiny ABS plastic.

The instruction manual says you can use the toy with or without lube and that you can use it from flaccid, which is not something we've actually managed to try, haha! You can either hold the toy still and let the vibrations do their thing or use it like a stroker.

After some experimenting, my partner found he had the best results using the Pulse III with an ample amount of lube for comfort and he prefers the "stroker" method over holding it still. He was very impressed with the rumbly quality and range of the vibrations and found that the vibrating plate is positioned perfectly while the silicone wings wrap around his shaft and spread the vibrations (nearly) all the way round. However, despite movement, he says he doesn't really notice the texture from the ridged section towards the bottom at all.

Two niggles he had were that the buttons are rather stiff and therefore difficult to operate, especially while the toy is actually in use. This can cause a little bit of "stopping and starting" and it can be awkward to actually turn it on and off which can be annoying when lacking patience! Secondly, it is quite noisy - not wand level noisy but it's not subtle. This isn't an issue for us but might be for someone sharing a house.

Overall, my partner is really chuffed with his first proper sex toy. He loves the sensations it produces and while it takes him a little longer to orgasm with it than by other means (which is not a fault, he's just still getting used to a new thing!) it's definitely worth it!
