Lovehoney New Sensation Clear Male Masturbator Review
Tyler Adams
- Like to have a masturbator that has a case to keep it clean from hair or lint
- Like to see the action inside while in use
- Like to have multiple options of use from a single toy
- Want a toy that is self contained and does not make a mess
- Need to be quiet and discreet
- Need a durable toy that cleans easily
- Need to store it in a small location
This stroker has 3 parts to it: The hard outer protective shell, the inner soft sleeve, and a hard cap to cover the opening. Both the sleeve and the case are clear, so you can see through them. All 3 parts can be separated either for different play experiences, or for cleaning. The outer shell contains a small hole on the tip of the closed portion, which you can cover or uncover to change the level of suction inside. The insertion hole is tight but not too tight. Inside the opening you'll find many ridges and bumps, and you can close the sleeve with the hard plastic lid when not in use.
First Impressions
I was very excited to try this new toy. I have never had one that was clear or had a hard exterior. Upon opening the box, the toy appeared to be of good quality and good materials. I liked how the inside soft part was protected by the outer shell and the end cap. The inside softer portion is held into the shell by a ridge. The interior can be easily removed when needed for cleaning or other types of play.Usage
Overall, this masturbator was enjoyable to use. I was a little confused at first because there are not a lot of instructions on how the toy is intended to be used. I wasn’t sure at first if the shell was for storage only and if the inside needed to be removed for use. I decided to just use it how it was. The pressure was firm but not too tight. The ridges and inner texture felt great as well. The only problem I noticed was that it was very loud. If the vent hole was not covered, air would whistle in and out very loudly. I decided to try to cover the hole just to stop the sound and that created a whole new experience — there was a suction effect that really changed the game. I also figured I would try using the toy without any hard outer shell at all by removing the inner sleeve and only holding onto that. Doing so, I was able to control the amount of pressure that was being applied, similar to other strokers that I have used.Cleanup
Cleanup was very easy. Because every component is clear, it is easy to see if it is clean or not. The cleanup, however, is also where I ran into problems. After washing all parts, I like to turn my products inside out to dry or I’ve noticed they can develop a mildew smell or take a long time to dry inside. I did so with this toy. Nothing seemed off at first but when I went back at a later time, I found that the stroker was torn from being turned inside out. It was still functional as a masturbator but the suction aspect didn’t work anymore.
The overall design is good and thought out. Its nice that the soft part is well protected until use. I have noticed with other toys that they tend to get covered in hair and lit and usually need to be washed before use. The cover eliminates the need for that. I did have an issue with the cleaning of the toy. After use, I like to clean my toys by turning them inside out and letting them dry. I did that with this toy and it ended up tearing. Ive never seen that happen to any of my toys before. This affected the suction option but still worked as a stroker without suction.
The use of a masturbator is pretty straightforward. I was confused at first on if the cover was to stay on during use or if it was to be taken off. I tried both options and it worked either way. Each option had its own unique sensations and experience. Because it does not have any batteries or extra functions, its a pretty simple toy to use.
At first I was impressed by the quality of the product. It looked very simple but felt sturdy. The outer plastic shell did not feel cheap and the lid attached well. The soft inner portion had weight and felt like it was made of a good material. I quickly became disappointed. After my first use, I washed it and turned it inside out to dry. To my surprise, I returned to find the soft portion torn down the seam. I guess it was not designed to dry inside out.
Originally I thought that the product was well priced. The quality appeared nice and felt very durable. I imagined I would be able to use it for a lot time. But then the inner portion tore. It is still usable as a stroker but it will not make the vacuum seal as it used to. It is still nice and clean but I wish it would have lasted a little longer.
The product is enjoyable and the texture inside does feel good. While it still worked as it should, it was fun experimenting with different options (with plastic cup on, with cup on and hole plugged, and without the plastic cup). Even after the inner soft portion tore, it was still usable, just didn't have the suction option. It was fun to play with a clear toy and it was fairly easy to clean up afterwards.
The packing for this item was very clean, simple and strait to the point. It is clean, not too busy and shows what is found inside. The instructions about toy usage and cleaning in English are found on one side of the box. The same instructions but in other languages are found on a little sheet that is found inside the box. The box is the perfect size for the toy and is not too big for what is found inside.
Upon first investigation the materials appeared and felt of good quality and durability. The outer “shell” is made of sturdy, clear ABS plastic that also includes a lid for the opening. The internal sleeve is made from TPE and is soft to the touch. It is latex- and phthalate-free and is 100% submersible as it does not have any mechanical parts. The toy was easy to clean as the soft inside and hard outside items are completely separable. It worked well before it tore when i turned it inside out to air dry.

- Can be used with or without the case
- Vent hole can be covered for greater suction
- Loud if vent hole is not covered
- Sleeve tears easily if turned inside out to dry
Overall this is a good product and I wish it would have lasted longer. The tightness was great, the feeling was great. I liked being able to change the feeling and experience simply by plugging the top vent hole or removing the outer shell altogether. It feels of good quality, I just wish it would not have torn after washing and turning inside out to dry.
