Clone-A-Pussy Plus + Review
My Verdict
I'm glad I got to try another product from the team at Empire Labs. They make quality products using quality materials and offer an experience that very few other companies can. The act of making the mold for the sleeve is a bit stressful and time consuming. But, it's also rewarding for who you are spending time with/for. I love my personalized masturbation sleeve and it will be something that I use often. It is not without its faults but as we are all human, none of us are.

Personal Experience
My Previous Experience
As a previous anniversary present, my wife and I have completed both the Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Willy Plus+Balls kits with varying degrees of success. The initial process with the Clone-A-Willy Plus+Balls kit was a little overwhelming at first. There are a lot of steps and the process is pretty extensive. Plus, while going through the process you have to time everything accordingly so that your member is at full attention when the time comes and he stays that way during the entire molding process. Obviously, having a helper was invaluable during this process. The finished product was … a little underwhelming, I’ll say. With the Plus+Balls kit you have to have a pretty good overall anatomy to have great success, and overall, it was very stressful. We decided we would give it another shot but this time use just the Clone-A-Willy kit and see how it goes. At this point we knew what we were getting into and we felt much better and tried to have a little more fun with everything. The results this time were much better and more what we were expecting.My Current Experience with the Clone a Pussy
Having had previous experience with the Empire Labs line of products, we were excited to give this one a try! We were able to produce a semi-respectable penile clone, and I was excited at the prospect of creating a personal, usable vaginal clone to add to my repertoire of masturbation sleeves. The process was very similar to both the previous attempts barring a few minor changes. Obviously, there was no longer a penis sleeve but rather a cap shaped like a vulva. It used the same body-safe alginate molding powder and mix as well as the same two-part silicone mix.Step 1
The initial setup involves getting the temperature right on water used to mix with the alginate molding powder. The 90 degree temperature seems high, but if you get too high or too low, that can really affect the drying time of the mold. Too high and it will dry too quickly, too low and it will dry too slow. So, we tried to get as close as possible. Some kits come with an included ethanol thermometer but we found this to be too inaccurate. We opted to use one of our kitchen thermometers instead, and were much happier with the readings.Step 2
We poured the molding powder in our mixing bowl and slowly poured in the water. Then, we used a whisk to try and blend up as much of the powder as possible, trying to get as many of the lumps out while still trying to keep it smooth. The tiny air bubbles you incorporate while mixing can wreak havoc on the final product, so mix vigorously but with care, stirring for approximately 45 seconds.Step 3
Once mixed, carefully pour the mixture into the cup and have your model place the cup onto their vulva. You will want to make sure to fill the cup up as much as possible to ensure that the entire area is covered. It will spill over so be prepared. It is also suggested to be in a location with harder floors. Trying to remove any excess molding mix out of fabric/carpet would not be fun! Peeling it off of our vinyl bathroom floor was easy-peasy. Once in place, wait 2-4 minutes for the mold to set. It will be very obvious as the alginate will harden into a jelly like consistency.Step 4
Once set you can remove the mold and place it into the cap at the end of the sleeve. Try to situate the mold to where it is even and flat. If it isn’t, the final product could be lopsided and no one wants a lopsided pussy… I don’t think.Step 5
Using the supplied ball wedge, slice the mold open with the wedge, trying to center it as much as possible. This will make the opening of the masturbator sleeve. Once in place, proceed to the next step.Step 6
You can now install the plastic sleeve housing onto the molding cup with the ball wedge in place. This will act as the final mold for the replica.Step 7
Carefully mix the supplied two-part silicone mix into a disposable cup and pour it into the bottom, open end of the sleeve housing. Take extra care to limit the amount of silicone you get on the sides of the sleeve housing as this could limit the amount of silicone that actually makes it to the mold.Step 8
Now you wait. I waited ~12 hours but the instructions say to wait a minimum of 8 hours. After that, you can carefully start to disassemble the sleeve. Take extra when removing the bottom lid as this has the mold and all the excess silicone, which could be hard to remove. Once you remove the lid, carefully remove your mold and revel in your craftiness!Step 9
From here you will want to trim up your lovely pussy-clone, removing as much excess silicone as possible and making it look all nice and pretty.Step 10
Now, you get to assemble everything. Place the sleeve into the sleeve holder, making sure to push it as far down as possible. Then you can insert your molded pussy onto the top of the sleeve holder. There is a groove around the bottom of the mold that will fit right into the sleeve holder. Now you can marvel at what you just accomplished. It was no small feat. It was a bit stressful and time-consuming, but in the end I think it was worth it. Once finally assembled, you can actually use the completed sleeve!Using the Masturbator
Once lubed up, my initial experience was odd. The harder silicone of the exterior mixed with the more flexible TPE of the internal sleeve made it hard to get fully inserted into. I found that by removing some of the material around the opening of the TPE sleeve, it was much easier to insert my penis and use. Once you get everything nice and lubed up, the experience goes about like you’d expect. The difference in texture and materials adds a welcome change to some of the other single material masturbators. The internal sleeve texture isn’t anything to write home about but it was satisfactory enough. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the end result of both the creation and testing of my personalized masturbator.Design
The design of the Clone-A-Pussy Plus+ masturbator sleeve is fairly standard. The silicone and TPE used are nice and the plastic outer sleeve has some nice texture to help with grip when you are in the middle of going at it. The internal sleeve design is something that could be improved by offering different sleeve textures and patterns for a little more variety. And since the sleeve is really independent of the silicone mold, that could be used as an extra purchase later. You're welcome Empire Labs.
Ease of Use
Using the finished product is very easy, just lube up and insert, move up and down, and repeat. The making of the Clone-A-Pussy Plus+ kit is a different story. There are a lot of steps involved and even when following them just right, odds are something will happen and it may not turn out exactly as you wanted. That's ok — I think the point of this kit is to allow people to enjoy and personalize something that may not be used for or by them. The act of making this with a partner is both awkward an hilarious and should be approached with an open mind.
Quality
The internal materials used are top notch. The silicone and the TPE are very high-grade. Even the alginate used to make the mold is body-safe and easy to remove from a hard surface. The only issue I had was the cheap, thin plastic outer sleeve, lid and bottom cap. It would be very easy to step just right and crush the internal sleeve and holder to the point of no return and, in the process, damage the personalized mold you spent so long making. The only other issue I have is with the thermometer that they didn't include. Previous Empire Labs kits included a small ethanol thermometer to use to help with adjusting the temperature of the water for the alginate molding mix. Having the right temperature for the water is crucial and the exclusion in this case seems like a real miss. Even though we ended up using a kitchen thermometer and got very accurate temps, other may not even have access to that. That could easily explain some of the "bad reviews" you see about this.
Price
So, the price. This is a hard one. Just looking at the price compared to other masturbators, it's high. But this isn't just any masturbation sleeve, it's a couple experience! The act of making the sleeve that you will use to pleasure your self or someone else and having that personalized touch puts it into a category all its own. Yes its more expensive than a standard Fleshlight, but that Fleshlight isn't molded to someone you love. With a retail price between $80-90, it's definitely expensive. But, can you put a price on good memories?
Performance
The act of making the Clone-a-Pussy Plus + was as expected: part chaos, part hilarity. I was surprised by the end product — it was better than I expected! The difference in texture of the different materials is weird at first but you get used to it fairly quickly and it just becomes an enjoyable experience. I thought the harder silicone material outside might cause some soreness, but that never happened.
Packaging
The packaging is very well done. Each item needed to produce the product is in an individually sealed bag or container. They included two bags of alginate powder just incase as well as the mixing sticks and two-part silicone for the final product. The included instructions are well written and relatively easy to follow. Overall, they did a nice job including everything you might need.
Materials and care
There are multiple materials involved in the finished Clone-A-Pussy Plus+ product. The sleeve itself is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), while the cover mold is made of a harder silicone material. The sleeve case, bottom and top cap look to be made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene), like a shampoo bottle. The sleeve case has "grips" on it but they don't do too much. The internal components feel much higher quality than the outer components and, in the end, that is what really matters.
Special feature
The special feature here is one that will be different for everyone that buys and uses the Clone-A-Pussy Plus+ kit. The final pussy mold will be one-of-a-kind. No one will have another one like it. The personalization you get with this usable masturbator is like nothing else you will get on the market. Yes, it isn’t perfect, but who is?
