Utensil Race Proof Zero Aizawa Minami Realistic Vagina Masturbator

Initial impression: Excited to see that Lovehoney are stocking Japanese "onahole" products. I think these toys are constructed differently from regular Western masturbators, so they offer something a bit different. Visually, it looks better than the photo, and comes in an eye-catching retail box (even complete with a small poster of Minami Aizawa...). The material feels soft, but firm and springy.

Performance: This feels great. Since it doesn't have a plastic case like a Fleshlight, I initially thought it was awkward to use. But once you get used to it, it offers a lot more control. You can adjust pressure very easily. You can also pinpoint where that pressure is being placed, which makes it much easier to feel the different sensations of the interior textures.

Since this toy is over 800g in weight, it feels very satisfying to use, and it bounces back against your movements. Without a plastic case, it's also more satisfying to thrust against. The construction is in two layers (interior and external), and feels very strong and durable.

Design: Masturbators modelled on adult actresses are kind of a gimmick. But you don't have to pay attention to the celebrity endorsement. And if you're going to have a porn-themed one, you can certainly do a lot worse that the lovely Minami Aizawa. The design looks realistic and appealing. Watching Minami Aizawa's videos adds just a little bit of extra enjoyment, knowing it was modelled on her.

Practical issues: Unlike many non-Japanese masturbators, this toy only has a single opening. This means it creates more vacuum around your penis. This feels great, but it does result in slightly more noise. Moreover, it changes the process of washing and drying. Cleaning is fairly easy: just blast hot water in there and lather up with some anti-bacterial soap. Drying is more difficult. Since the toy is closed at one end, it is necessary to dry it manually with a cloth, and leave it out in the open for longer than normal. (In Japan, they do sell "drying sticks" to help dry these toys.) If you need convenience and discretion, it might be better to choose a different toy. Overall, I thought the slight inconvenience was outweighed by the pleasure.

Conclusion: This. Feels. Great!! I like the look, the texture, and the feeling. Particularly great for Japanese adult video fans, but also a good toy if you've never heard of Minami Aizawa. The only downside is the slight inconvenience of trying to dry it thoroughly.
