Pipedream PDX Elite masturbator with vibration and effect

This compressor-effect vibrating masturbator combines two distinct mechanisms: internal airbags that inflate and deflate around the penis, and a separate vibrating motor. I recommend it if you want to try a rhythmic pressure sensation in addition to classic vibration. Between us, it’s this combination of effects that sets this model apart from the simpler vibrating strokers in the store.

Materials and construction

The inner sleeve is made of Fanta Flesh, a proprietary material from the manufacturer described as soft and textured, with ridges and internal reliefs. Its exact chemical composition is not specified in the available information, so I prefer to stick to the facts rather than guess the material’s name. The outer casing is described as sturdy, with no further material details provided by the manufacturer. The product weighs 1,050 g.

Operation and modes

The top button activates and cycles through 10 vibration modes; holding it down for 3 seconds switches them off. The bottom button separately controls 5 airbag pressure levels, with the same press-and-hold method for stopping the function. An LED indicator on the back of the device changes color depending on whether vibration alone, the airbags alone, or both functions are active at the same time: handy for knowing where you are without having to look at a screen.

Use and care

The device recharges via the included USB cable, connected to the port on the back; the manufacturer does not specify an exact charging time, with the LED turning solid green once the device is charged. Remove the Fanta Flesh sleeve to clean it with toy cleaner and lukewarm water, then apply renewing powder after it has dried completely to preserve its original feel.

Who it’s for and who it isn’t

This model is suitable if you want to combine vibration and pressure in a single stroker, with the option of securing it using the lockable suction cup on a flat surface for hands-free use. Discover other options in the masturbator collection. If you prefer a fully automated mechanism with a true back-and-forth motion, take a look at the store’s automatic masturbators.

A friend’s advice — Always start with the lowest airbag pressure level; you can increase the intensity once you’ve got used to the sensation.
