Dorcel Store sent us the anal masturbator for men, Claire Castel.
This small masturbator is intended to stimulate the penis, and tries to imitate the sensations of anal penetration.
From its name, one can presume it represents, more precisely, the anus of porn actress Claire Castel.
Here is the test of the masturbator Anal Sensation by Claire Castel.
Packaging
The sex toy is simply wrapped in plastic film, on which the product’s features, its name, and a photo of actress Claire Castel are printed.
It is not a very luxurious package, but it has the merit of being compact.
The outer part of the sex toy is a “cup” made of hard plastic, and has a lid, which allows it to hold the masturbation insert fairly airtight (the squishy part, into which you put the penis).
So the Claire Castel anal masturbator does not really need any storage accessories; you can leave it as it is in a drawer without any hygiene issues.
The sex toy
Appearance of the anal masturbator
Once the plastic layer is removed, you find a plastic cylinder, sealed at the bottom, with a flesh-pink bump protruding from it, and a hole in the middle.
A lubricant capsule is supplied. It is pushed into the hole, which makes it look a bit daft.
Realistic? Er…
The Claire Castel anal masturbator does not look like the photo you can see on the product presentation page on the Dorcel Store website, where you can gaze at a very pink, relatively “realistic” bottom.
The penetrable orifice of the sex toy does not really look like an anus, it is just a perfectly round circle, in the centre of a recess vaguely symbolising a cleft… You can make out a few barely sketched lines, representing the outline of the anus, but you cannot call that “realistic”.
I could not say whether the model sold by Dorcel Store has changed since the official photo was taken, or whether the person in charge of the website’s illustration simply decided that a bottom would look nicer with more bottom-ish details.
It is a sex toy shaped like a diagram of an anus, so it is. Well, if you were looking for a realistic sex toy, you’ve missed out, and if, on the other hand, you would rather avoid having too many anatomical details under the willy hand, all the better.
On the other hand, what is sure is that you cannot really say that this masturbator represents Claire Castel’s anus, or at least, no more than it could represent your neighbour’s or your own. As a result, I imagine the three other anal masturbators in the same range (signed by Anna Polina, Yasmine and Sabrina Sweet), must be identical, apart from the packaging.
Texture and materials
The stated composition of the sleeve is: “100% thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)”. In practice, this information is quite vague, as there is a wide variety of elastomers (Tenga toys, for example, are also made of TPE, but there is not much resemblance, if any, beyond the squishy feel)… All we know is that it is a porous material (so, difficult to clean 100%), and it is specified that it contains no phthalates.
The casing of the Anal Sensation by Claire Castel masturbator
Same issue as with Fleshlights: the material doesn’t smell super good… It stinks a bit, a rather strange chemical smell… It seems to have been scented to mask this drawback, but the result of mixing plastic smell + perfume smell is not really great (She finds it smells like expired foundation).
In the end, it is neither better nor worse than the smell of Fleshlights. The smell in question fades with washing, so the masturbator had a long bath before first use.
As for texture, it is squishy, fairly pleasant to touch. If you turn the sleeve inside out like a sweater sleeve, you can see that the inside is textured: fairly light ridges, perpendicular to the penis and increasingly close together as you approach the back, and several rows of small bumps towards the back.
The case, for its part, is made of hard plastic.
Maintenance
The Anal Sensation masturbator is reusable. So, obviously, it must be washed after each use.
Maintenance is pretty much the same as for a Fleshlight. Remove the sleeve from its casing, and wash with water and soap. Or with a sex toy cleaner, as recommended by the official product description. Then rinse thoroughly, and let it dry properly.
Use
Before you begin, you need to lubricate everything well, otherwise penetration may turn out to be difficult. For this, it is recommended to unscrew the second cap of the masturbator (the one on the side you don’t put your willy in) and pour a little lubricant into the hole thus uncovered. But slathering the penis with lubricant as well does no harm.
As for its use, my opinion may be biased. In fact, on the one hand, I have never been a big fan of masturbators in general, and on the other, it is the only anal model I have been able to test so far.
However, the experience was relatively convincing, and both comfort and sensations were there. In fact, I think I prefer this type of masturbator to larger ones, such as vaginal Fleshlights, for example, or the big “abstract” Tenga toys. The penis being more cramped in them, the sensations are more present. Also, you are less likely to feel like you are holding a huge, heavy utensil when using it.
But unfortunately I cannot say good or bad about it compared with other similar masturbators, as I haven’t tested any others.
Conclusion on the Claire Castel anal masturbator
The good points:
- Its packaging: a small case, not too bulky, and convenient for storage.
- Its price: less than €20, for a reusable masturbator, that’s not expensive.
The bad points:
- Its strong chemical smell.
- Its “realism” isn’t very successful.
To sum up very briefly:
The Anal Sensation by Claire Castel masturbator is not really realistic, and it has the same smell problem as Fleshlights. But it is quite practical, effective and cheap.
