(Opening + cup/STP) When I first got this product, I probably would have rated it a 3/5 (now, 4/5). It takes some getting used to, so if you don’t immediately like it, I would wait a bit before giving your final verdict. Initially, I had trouble positioning it comfortably due to the substantial cup. If you are a guy with larger labia, you are going to be extremely aware of the cup at all times, and it feels a bit suffocating. That said, it very much works and you will be grateful for the cup when it comes time to STP. I have not yet used to the STP out in public, so I can’t attest to if it passes well in a men’s bathroom, but it functions well for the purpose of getting pee into a toilet.
(Aesthetics) Overall I was happy with the color I selected, and I think the photo system provides fairly accurate colors. It is slightly darker than my skin, but it looks like reasonable natural variation. The paint job is very realistic, and I have sometimes looked at it and expected it to return sensations when I touch it because its skin-like appearance tricked my brain. The veins aren’t ridiculously bulging like in some packers, they’re just tastefully present. The scrotum texture is very realistic as well. This is also one of the only uncircumcised packers that I enjoy the proportions of, as many will have a head much larger than to my liking.
(Packing + squeeze test) As for the packing experience, the shaft being hollow definitely helps keep the size down. I have had another packer of roughly the same length and girth, but being solid silicone all the way through, it had a very large and awkward bulge. This packer creates a very low key bulge that doesn’t draw the eye, but if you happened to be looking, you would see it. The balls are delightful to play with, but they’re definitely much firmer than the real thing. I don’t think this packer in particular would pass high scrutiny squeezing, but a quick grab wouldn’t raise any red flags. Also, if the balls are cold, they make a very odd… crunchy sound. Luckily they are usually not cold while you are wearing them. The hollow shaft gives a small issue in that, when squeezed, the silicone sticks to itself on the inside and you can feel the very strange sensation it causes. Overall, when grabbed, it feels to be the right size and shape, and the squishiness factor is about right, but some of the textures may feel a bit weird.
(Final thoughts) I tried to make this review as thorough as possible, as this product is very expensive and is therefore an investment to make. For me, the only reasons I don’t rate this 5/5 are due to the squeeze test results (which will be universal and apply to anyone purchasing the packer) and the personal feel of the cup with my body (will depend on your anatomy as to whether or not the cup will crush your organs). Otherwise, I love my emisil and, when the time comes for a pack and play, I will buy from them again.
