Okay then; inspired by ADHERAQ777's glowing review of the "Woman's Scent" (or "Smell"), I finally went shopping online for one through toydemon.com, but I found a worthy alternative there with the "Love Shake Real", which is also made by ToysHeart.
- it's just $15 USD (costs less than half of the "Woman's Scent"), and $21 USD (total) quickly delivered (in the USA)
- it's a bit longer, both inside and out
- and as the photo shows, it too has a closed-end, natural/realistic shaped interior

It's easily the softest sex sleeve I've ever used. In carrying it around, it sure is floppy, but feels good to touch, and even thrilling to "finger" inside for a bit. When new, it has a "strange sweet" smell to it that certain blends of silicone can emit. Once wrapped in a plastic sandwich/freezer bag, it's still a bit tricky to slide all the way inside the TB crotch pocket, but after a few tries it can fit properly. It needs no trimming to fit, either... and also comes complete with a 0.5 fluid-ounce packet of ToysHeart's "Vanessa & Co." clear lube, which is fairly thick but a little dab of it does last a long time.
The more natural/realistic interior is the main thing I wanted to start experiencing, and no American-made sleeve seems to offer it... not even Fleshlight, at least not in their regular line. So now, after several samplings of the "Love Shake Real", I can say that I'm leaving the rib stuff behind too. In photos, the interiors may resemble an obstacle course, but remember that all the nubs, ridges, and chambers are quite soft, and will yield to the erection while still gripping it all over. In fact, there's even a pronounced "G-spot" ridge near the entrance that can be felt on the upperside or underside of one's erection, depending on how the insert is turned and placed in the TB. I found that the best way to "feel" all of this is when going back and forth slowly, and at a level just under maximum stiffness. And because of this sleeve's generous stretchiness, there weren't even any escaping-air blatty sounds!
Oh, man, if only Eighth Wonder could have mass-produced Teddy Babe lips and nipples out of material like this; I think our erotic snuggle time would double what it is already!
So here's a list of all the aftermarket TB inserts I've tried throughout 2.5 years:
- Doc Johnson UR3
Pussy Palm Pal
- Doc Johnson UR3
Chanel St. James
- Doc Johnson UR3
Jessi Capelli
- Doc Johnson UR3
Sophia Rossi
(the last three are identical on the inside, with several evenly-spaced ribs)
-
Tenga 6.0 onacup (fits TB perfectly, but felt too artificial for me)
- doodman's
Siliplush (rather too loose for my taste, yet a handy backup)
- doodman's
all-silicone deluxe (durable and grippy; my former top choice)
- ToysHeart
Love Shake Real (softest and most realistic; my new top choice)

I've always known that the Japanese have a real knack for taking an idea or product and making it better. The "Love Shake Real" is proof of this, and is also a high-quality item at a bargain price. I can easily recommend it as another prime choice Teddy Babe insert!
