Kiiroo Feel Melrose Michaels Pocket Pussy Review (Feelstars)

Personal Experience

Melrose Michaels is one of the most recent Feelstars, and I personally have to admit that she wasn’t really someone on my radar before I tried the sleeve. And, she’s not really going on my radar even after. Although I found it to be an interesting take to make an almost chamberless Feel stroker to make it more realistic, it didn’t quite get there for me. I think, instead, what happened is just that they made a much less intense sleeve that don’t really stimulate you as well. On top of everything, making it chamberless in this was makes it almost useless in combination with the PowerBlow vacuum generator. What did catch me by surprise is how amazing it feels in combination with an automatic masturbator like the Kiiroo Keon. The realistic sleeves becomes so much more realistic when letting the Keon do the work, and you forget the lack of intense stimulation texture.

Design

One of the things I hate the most about the orifice mold of Melrose Michaels is the fact that Kiiroo decided to make her signature stand out so much from the rest of the sleeve that it takes ALL the attention. While it's not that I don't appreciate the novelty of having the porn stars signatures imprinted on the mold, but I'd really prefer that it's not the most stand-out feature, when you simply want to focus on Melrose's vagina instead. Apart from that, it's also not super realistic compared to how close some of the other Kiiroo Feelstars come to the real thing. So, all in all, I gave it one of the lowest 'Design'-ratings in total, just 60/100. I've actually only really rated the FeelLeigh and FeelDaphne lower (50/100 on both).

Ease of Use

In terms of intensity tightness, I gave it a below average rating of 70/100 (that you can find as the 'Ease of Use'-rating). This is in large parts due to the attempt from Kiiroo on creating a more realistic sleeve, which, in retrospect also created a less intense sleeve. They also succeeded in making the sleeve somewhat chamberless, which means it doesn't have the level of variety that typically is the source of intensity during use. On a positive note, albeit it does not feel like the real thing per ce, it does come closer than a lot of other strokers - and most other Feelstars. As you don't notice any specific texture, and all just blures into one big soft blob, it does help not remind you that you're actually just fucking a TPE molded blend in a black plastic casing.

Quality

One of the really positive things about the FeelMelrose is that it measured, and felt, pretty tight. It got an above average rating of 85/100, where less than a third of the other feelstars are tighter. I measured the tightness by filling the inner canal with water - after plugging the bottom of it with a cap, so that the water only filled the part of the canal that is 'fuckable'. The water that filled the canal weighed 1.7 ounces, whereas the tightest sleeve only had 1.1 ounc of water (Feel Extra Tight Butt Sleeve), and the loosest sleeves had a whopping 2.5 ounces (the FeelTanya and FeelRae). One thing to note here about the construction of the texture is that it feels slightly less tight compared to the measurement because there aren't any really tight spots. The tightest/narrowest section is 0.46 inches wide with most other Feelstars having at least 1-2 very narrow sections with under 0.3 inches in diameter.

Price

The price of the FeelMelrose haven't been on offer anywhere, and I'd suspect it wont come, so it's pretty stable at around $60-80, most often sold at $69.99 at Kiiroo. Compared to most other male masturbators that doesn't come with extra features that enhances stimulation, like vibrations, automatic stroking or similar electrical component this is on the expensive side of things. What does make up for the price is the fact that you get a much softer TPE blend that is both more stimulating and realistic than most other strokers. On top of that you get a mold of a real persons Vagina, in this case Melrose Michaels, which in itself is pretty exciting! But, those licensing costs is probably what is the reason behind why this is more expensive than others.

Performance

On of the things to highlight about the performance of the FeelMelrose stroker is the fact that it feels much more realistic than most other Feelstar strokers I've tested. But, it's not like it's very close to the real deal. To be honest, nothing will ever really be, and if reviews or product descriptions tell you otherwise, don't trust them! The Melrose Michaels stroker does however make an honest attempt at coming very close. What I don't like is the fact that it compromises the level of intensity in the texture, and how well the masturbator works with the PowerBlow from Kiiroo (a vacuum pump you can buy as an add on). It does work very well with the Keon, as most other sleeves that doesn't have too intense textures tend to do.

Packaging

The Melrose Michaels packaging is almost black, with some light blue shading. I'm not sure if it's because Kiiroo have used up all other color choices, as I don't have any other of the Feelstars with a black packaging choice. It does make her stand out great with the red lingerie, so I'm not complaining, but it does seem a little weird. Looking at the texture depicted in 2D on the packaging makes it look really enticing, but knowing what I know after extensively testing it, it does make me look at it as misleading.

Materials and care

The FeelMelrose stroker attracts a lot of lint, very quickly, and it's very difficult to wipe off again. I have had to try to pick it off by pinching each individual strand of dust. This is a problem for evey single Feelstar stroker though, and not specific to the Melrose Michaels one. I think it's largely due to the very soft TPE blend. One thing I've noticed is that on the lighter colored blends, like the FeelMelrose, the dust and dirt does become a lot more visible. And, just pulling a dirty-looking masturbator out of the closet doesn't exactly makes you want to go to town on it even more.
