I am a month behind in providing an update on The Handy in action, but as you can see, I have invested most of March in significantly expanding this website and immersive French classes. You will reap the benefits from this soon enough. In the meantime, I spent some time with The Handy after the live unboxing. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t demonstrate it straight out of the box, at least not entirely, but I needed to follow the instructions provided online and included in the handbooks. Now we can get down to The Handy’s sex toy review, the good, the bad, and the fidgety.

A month in, is the Handy a good sex toy?

While utilizing the second dungeon I rented in Cannes (yes, there are two!) I found that it was part of a rental apartment building, which means a network of Wi-Fi is shared among all the rooms. I guess it can’t connect to such Wi-Fi for security reasons. (Though come on, it might be hot if someone hacked into your masturbation device.) So this central feature of the device is lost when traveling. One would think this would be the best time to use a portable masturbator.

I had my more-than-willing victim strapped down to the bench, intending to use the handy for slow edging while I rested my feet on his face. I pulled the little bistro table over to clamp the “hands-free” arm down to keep The Handy in place. Not elegant, but functional. The on-device controls sacrifice intuitive design for simplicity. Not functional, but elegant. In the end, without the remote control, I couldn’t relax and enjoy my feet being worshiped, as I had to get up and fidget with the intensity. In the end, it was not the slick experience I imagined.

The masturbation sleeves are varied in feeling, and the textures are perfect. In addition to figuring everything out, I have received overwhelmingly positive responses to the sensations of the sleeves. The jelly material makes the sleeves feel so good, but the delicate silicone cannot be sterilized. Each sleeve is assigned to one person, which makes it cost-prohibitive to have a playful session trying out all the different feelings. I suppose you have to keep trying and trying a different sleeve each time.

After a month, I still like it and intend to bring it out often, especially for those who prefer a specific stroke. I hope it will have some improvements in the following year.

Pros

• Much lighter than the Venus 2000 or Tremblr. Easy to pack.
• Reasonably priced compared to the major players
• Controlling the stroke length intensifies the gland-teasing and pleasuring game.
• Ideal for long-distance edging
• The hands-free arm works well

Cons

• Offline controls are less intuitive.
• Can’t connect to the hotel’s internet
• Fidgety and needs to be set up before play
• The app needs to be updated often
• The hands-free arm could be a little longer

The Handy Sex Toy Review Conclusion

The Hand offers diversity to my edging, sex toy chest, and a great traveling companion when I am playing outside of my dungeon. Will it replace the Tremblr or Venus 2000? No. Will some people prefer it? Yes. It’s a different experience. While I am super interested in the long-distance options, I have yet to try them out. I have to wait for the guinea pig to order his own and send the key to me.

The app offers a wide range of options and opportunities. There appears to be some excellent ideas in virtual porn and connecting on-line. It’s just not there yet. It’s really fidgety to connect to Bluetooth, connect the hardware to the Wi-Fi, disconnect and reconnect to the device via Wi-Fi, and then fire up the app’s controls. That is, if the app has been recently updated. For me, who plans and will be used to the routine the device needs, it won’t be a problem. For most people, it will never be something to “go to in the moment.” A handheld remote with slider controls, similar to those in the app, would significantly improve The Handy’s utility.
