It's not often that a toy makes me say, "wow". I rarely find myself being TRULY impressed at a sex toy, especially when I've tried so many. Of course they feel good and they do their job, but I always know what I'm getting myself into. I have my expectations and most toys meet them. Not the dome from maude. This toy exceeded each and every expectation I had. It's a real contender for my favorite stroker. Scratch that, my favorite sex toy. The most shocking thing about this is how simple everything about it is. maude goes back to basics with this toy and truly provides something that will give mind-blowing orgasms.
I was impressed by every aspect of this toy. It's sleek, simple, insanely pleasurable, easy to use, and even easy to clean. Let's get right into it.
Pros
Stroking is extremely fast and easy.
You can really feel every part of the toy's interior texture.
The toy has a nice weight and feel to it.
The toy's simple design is sleek and modern. Discrete, too!
The softness of this toy lends itself to adjustment during play.
Cons
You might not like how this toy lacks a realistic orifice.
Design
A word you're going to see a lot in this review is "simple," because this product just exudes simplicity. There's nothing fancy going on with the toy's design.
The toy comes in a nice charcoal color. There's a thicker side, and a thinner side at the other end. One hole goes throughout the entire toy. Or is it technically considered two holes?
A sleek maude logo is featured on the "front" of the toy. Front being in quotes because there's no correct way to use this toy. You can use it from either end and from any angle. You don't need to think too much about it, just stick it in and have fun.
Obviously, if you prefer a realistic-looking toy, then you're not going to find it here. The opening is just a hole. No molded labia or fake clitoris here. What you see is what you get.
Experience
With how highly I'm speaking about this toy, you'd expect there to be some crazy stuff going on with the interior. That isn't true at all. Again, the one word to describe this toy is "simple".
I was surprised to find out that this toy is just ridges and bumps. The bumps are featured on the tighter part of the toy, towards the top. If you use the toy as I did, then you'll feel the bumps only when you're more inserted into the toy.
The ridges are the real star of the show. They felt FANTASTIC. They're very pronounced and not too soft.
Oftentimes, I see crazy diagrams of sex toy interiors. I use the toy and I'm like, "What part of the diagram did I just feel?"
I sometimes struggle to feel the actual texture of some toys. Either because the material is too soft so everything just moves out of the way, there's too much going on, or it's just straight up a bad design.
That's not the case with the dome. I felt everythinggggg. Every single ridge, bump, and slight tightening of the tunnel.
I was also impressed with how the toy handled. I was almost concerned about the design before actually trying the toy. I thought that it would be hard to use because of a lack of grip. Thankfully, I was wrong. The toy was extremely easy to hold onto and stroke with.
The weight of the toy really added to the experience, too. It was heftier than I expected, but in a good way. It had a nice weight to it that added a lot.
Once you get going with this toy, you really get going. The ease of use combined with the nice weight of the toy makes for a fast stroking experience. Going up is quick because of the ease of use, going down is quick because of the toy's weight and relaxed design. And during my fast stroking, I felt every single part of the toy. It was amazing.
The tunnel isn't too tight, so if you prefer a grippy toy, then I might look elsewhere. I personally love how open the tunnel is, as I prefer the feeling of stroking.
Going in from the other side of the toy, which is the thinner side, was just as fun! I personally preferred using the toy with the flared side down.
As I showed in the video earlier, the toy is so squishy. You can squeeze the toy during play for a more adjustable experience. I rarely did this as the toy felt amazing as is!
Quality
The toy was super high-quality. I didn't notice anything wrong with it before or after my session.
It came with a nice amount of powder on it to maintain its interior feel. Nice touch from maude!
Price
I don't want to give maude any ideas, but I'd pay a lot more money for this toy than what it actually costs. This toy retails for $35 USD on the maude website.
So many budget masturbators retail for around the same price. Some of the cheaper ones start at about $15. When you get these toys, you're paying for the vaginal mold and maybe the name behind the product if a pornstar is attached to it.
With maude, the entirety of that $35 is going into quality and pleasure. It shocks me that this is really how much it can cost to create a high-quality stroker when you're just trying to focus on pleasure rather than anything else.
This toy looks and feels like a luxury product. Like something from LELO. The difference is that maude isn't charging hundreds of dollars for it. Fantastic work from the team at maude for bringing costs down and taking quality up.
Packaging
The packaging is eco-friendly and super exciting! It got me pumped up for what's to come. It felt luxurious and modern.
Materials and care
Again, simplicity reigns queen with this toy. I always enjoy using a stroker, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't look forward to the maintenance of those strokers. After a session, there's nothing I want to do more than just sit back and relax.
Most pocket pussy type toys require immediate cleanup, though. Especially if I cum inside them.
But the dome? It's super fast and easy. First of all, I don't need to clean up an orgasm from the inside of the toy if I don't want to. The open-ended design lets me cum inside of a towel or rag while the toy is still completely on me. All I have to do is insert myself more when I feel I'm about to finish.
I try to see how easy it is to turn a stroker inside out. I prefer cleaning them that way since I can just reach everything easily. Turning the dome inside out is so easy. The relaxed design and stretchy material makes it effortless to do.
Some warm, soapy water and air drying will get this toy feeling like new.
Other Goodies
maude also included a storage bag. Completely unnecessary but so appreciated. At $35 for all of this, I basically robbed them.
My New Fav Toy?
Having a favorite toy was always a strange concept to me. They're all so different. If I'm in the mood for one thing, I'll reach for one toy. If I'm in the mood for another, I'll reach for that one.
People DO ask me for my favorite toy though, especially as an established toy reviewer. When I'm asked this question, though, I've always said that it was the Lovense Solace Pro.
That toy comes with all the bells and whistles. It's an automatic masturbator that has to be attached to a DESK to unleash its full power on me. It's expensive, luxurious, and does so much to give me an orgasm.
Now, when I'm asked that question, I feel inclined to include the maude dome. It's nothing like the Solace Pro.
I find myself questioning whether or not the maude dome really is my one and only favorite, and if it's really possible to have a favorite sex toy at all.
It might not be the only toy I'll reach for whenever I feel like treating myself. But I can definitely say that it's going to be the one I'm reaching for the most.
I admit, I am a little biased with this review. I've been watching Blair Williams for so long, I'm surprised I haven't tried her sex toy yet.
I tried my best to put my personal biases for Ms. Williams aside. And even after I did... wow. This toy is fantastic! Not to say that it's perfect, though. The squeeze plate absolutely blows (and not in a good way). But despite that, this toy will still be in my rotation for a while.
Fleshlight really knocked it out of the park with this sex toy.
This toy is definitely unique. I mean, just look at the bright red case. It's the first red toy in my collection!
And the texture? Super weird. I can see why some guys might not be into it.
But me? I absolutely loved it.
It felt like my shaft was being brushed by pleasure bristles with every stroke. I can already tell that I'm going to be using this toy for a while. Even if it's not my favorite toy of all time, it offers a unique feeling. And for that reason, it's going to be in my rotation pretty frequently.
I love pocket pussies. I thought that I was going to adore into this toy. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. This toy is pretty tight. A little too tight for me. Not like that's a brag or anything, because I'm not even a huge-sized guy. It was just way too tight. I couldn't really enjoy this toy because of how tight it was. But, the texture did seem promising and I'm sure that other guys will have a great time with this thing.
I have conflicted feelings about Doc Johnson's Main Squeeze line. This toy, molded after Kiley Corrupt, is the latest addition to that collection. Is the design absolutely fantastic? Sure. Is the toy's texture great? I'd say it's good. But is the "squeeze" function only taking away from the toy rather than adding something to it? Like always, yes.
I can't strongly recommend this toy but it's definitely a fun time. I would say go for it if it gets you curious.
Call me old fashioned but, when I wanna cum, I dont wanna have to look at a manual, assemble the device, connect to an app, charge for four hours, Just give me a hole to stick my dick in and call it a day.
TL/DR: The Arcwave Ghost is a low-cost Silicone Stroker that provides decent stimulation with it's two-texture reversible design. It's thoughtfully designed with it's stealthy, inconspicuous exterior, exciting reversible two pattern textures and a smart design that makes the toy super easy to use, clean and store.
However the toy itself provides moderate stimulation and can be noisy if used with a fair amount of lube. It also fits rather snug, so larger penis owners should purchase with caution.
All in all, the toy provides decent stimulation with the easy-to-use and clean design which is why I recommend it as your FIRST stroker-like toy. However if you already have a collection of strokers with intricate patterns, you might be underwhelmed.
At the price of 15 USD, it is still a good buy.
This toy is one of the more uniquely designed ones I’ve seen. The textures and material feel truly great and will give y’all an unforgettable experience. As you can probably tell, the toy is completely transparent. It was kinda hot to be able to see my partner and I’s dick through the case and sleeve. I find it to be a great toy for those of y’all wanting a more blowjob style experience.
The Tenga Flip 0 is a high-end, reusable male sex toy known for its innovative design and exceptional quality. It features a sleek, flip-open casing that allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, with a soft, flexible internal structure made from high-quality elastomer. The interior is lined with intricate, varied textures designed to provide intense stimulation. Its tactile and ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, and the tightness can be adjusted by applying pressure to different pads along the casing, allowing for a customizable experience. The Tenga Flip 0 offers a durable, luxurious feel and is designed for multiple uses, making it a top choice for those seeking an advanced, high-performance toy.
This manual masturbator from Tenga is a great time in a small package. I really enjoyed the tight tunnel and the different feelings it gave me. The textures were unique, stimulating, and so much fun to go through! The design naturally lends itself to being twisted, which isn't common with manual strokers. If you're in the market for a manual masturbator that's a little discreet, I'd definitely go with this one. Tenga knocked it out of the park with this stroker and it's the best of the FLEX collection, in my opinion.
The TENGA SPINNER SPN-003 delivers a unique twist on male masturbation. Pretty much taking up the job of spinning the second you insert yourself into the long jelly-flexi tube, the all-new internal coil here adds immeasurable pleasure as you execute each stroke. You have to be fully invested (inserted all the way) to get the most out of this little machine's jerk-off assistance, but it will get you off in no time if you keep your thrusting steady and firm.
Yo, so the Mainsqueeze Katrina Jade toy is like this epic pleasure device, modeled after the legend herself, Katrina Jade. It’s got all these wild, intricate details, which is sick, but there’s this one thing I gotta call out. The squeeze-play panel? It sounds dope, right? Like, a cool idea and all… but honestly, it kinda doesn’t live up to the hype when you’re actually using it. Bit of a letdown, bro.
It’s got a solid, unique idea, and it’s pretty affordable too, but the material and texture kinda bring it down a notch for me. The texture feels awesome at first, but it doesn’t dry easy, which is kinda annoying. The material is dope at first, but after like 15-20 uses, it starts to lose its edge. The spring feature? Actually works pretty well, adding a little spin on the downstroke—hell yeah! But honestly, it works best when you go slow.
