When I was trying to choose between the two of these, I noticed that while a lot of people recommend them for first time buyers, not too many people really compare them. I'm going to try to answer all the questions I had with this review. After trying them both, I can understand why people have difficulty comparing them. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, so I'll try my best to address them. I'm also going to review the different lotions I bought with them, though Ill add those as I try them all.

Now, the first question I was wondering was "Is an onahole worth the investment?" Uhh, yah! If you whack a lot and don't get much (or in my case, any) sex, these things are freaking magical. Is it worth buying more than one? Maybe. If you can afford it, sure, go for it. Also, I'd recommend if you're going to buy one, dedicate to it. I'd say $50 is the minimum you want to spend, though I guess I can't really vouch for the cheap ones. Also, for those that live with roommates or anything, these do make a bit of noise during use.

Feeling:
Both of these toys have their own distinct feeling. The Virgin is very smooth and soft, where as the IYS is a little bit more intense. As far as feeling goes, I'd have to say the Virgin wins here. The intense feeling of the IYS feels a little bit forced, where as the smooth feeling of the Virgin feels somehow more natural. My apologies if this seems rather vague, but it's really quite difficult to put into words.

Cleaning:
Here's the best part of owning an onahole (/sarcasm). Honestly, cleaning them is gonna be kind of a pain no matter which one you get. I'm going to side with the people that recommend not flipping them inside out. The material is very soft, and I can see it tearing quite easily if you aren't careful. Anyway, I'd have to say the IYS is a bit easier to clean though. The Virgin can get veeeeeery sticky after cleaning the outside, which will require you baby powder the entire outside. I'm kinda lazy, so despite my preference of the Virgin's feeling, I may wind up using the IYS more often to avoid the extra step. As far as drying goes, I found that if you cut out a piece of microfiber towel and wrap it around something very thin once or twice, it does the job pretty nicely (something like a pencil). Also, I used hair-ties to attach the towel, since it unravels quite easily if you don't fasten it and rubber bands might be a little bit too rough.

Durability:
Honestly, I only just got them today (I'd really rather not say how many times I've used them in the last few hours... just thinking about it makes my head spin) so I can't really say how durable they are. From what I've heard, Toysheart toys in general are pretty resilient, and I've read the Virgin is quite durable as well. I think so long as you aren't very much above average (average being about 5.5in/14cm), use proper lube and aren't too rough while properly cleaning them when you're done using them, they'll probably last quite a while. I've seen several cases on this site of even the more fragile ones lasting for years. Can't say how much they were used, but this is nice to consider.

Lotions
Ok, and here's the part where I review the various lubes I picked up. I grabbed the Ozawa love potion, Astroglide, a tenga egg lotion, toyfluid and the Moisty Plus lotion that came with the IYS. I haven't used them all yet, but Ill add reviews for them as I do.

Maria Ozawa Love Potion:
Haha, almost typed Mario there. I guess there is some pipe cleaning going on, but I digress. Anyway, I'd have to say this is by far my favorite of the ones I've used. When I tried it, I put it on both toys and alternated them a few times (a few minutes for each go). The lube was nice and slick, and stayed moist the entire time. They toys were even still juicy after I recuperated enough to start cleaning them after I was done! Also, this stuff comes in the largest bottle of all the ones I bought, so it will definitely see the most uses by far.

Tenga Egg Lotion:
I snagged one of these because they were only $6 each. You're already putting out this much, whats another $6, right? Well, the Tenga Egg was definitely only worth that much. Of all of them, it dried pretty fast, though not nearly as fast as Moisty +. It also wasn't quite as slick as the other ones, so it didn't really feel quite as nice. I guess its kind of convenient if you travel a lot and can't be apart from your precious -hissss-. If you're buying an Onahole, I guess try one of them since they're cheap. Expect to burn through it fast though...

Astroglide:
Astroglide was right in the middle of the ones I've tried. Not quite as awesome or long lasting as Ozawa, but lasts longer and feels better than the Tenga Egg. The price is right for this stuff, so I'd say give it a shot.

Toyfluid:
Basically everything I said about the Astroglide applies to this one too. Good, but not quite as good as Ozawa.

Moisty Plus:
This stuff is kinda stuck, as opposed to all the other lubes which were much more smooth. It also didn't last very long at all. I wound up mixing some Ozawa in at some point. I wouldn't really recommend this one...

Good Review!

 Welcome to the Forums!

 

[DaaaBears]

nice review on the lubes.

One thing people should do more is review the lubes. Lubes sometimes make or kill a toy!!!! We get all these toy reviews but not enough lube reviews!

Lube it up, I am ready!

Nice of you to write such an in-depth review! It sounds like you love your purchase ^^.
As far as lube goes, I've only ever used Peace's lube since it's.. dirt cheap.
I'm pretty interested though in using something silky.... like toy fluid, maria ozawa potion or "silky lube" from tomax..
