Sohimi Bole 2-in-1 Penis Pump & Masturbator — Test & Review
My Verdict
The Sohimi Bole is a great 2-in-1 toy that is both a male masturbator and penis pump. It has both manual and app controls and can be used in a variety of ways. Having never used a penis pump before, I was very surprised at how powerful the suction on this toy is. I do feel that this could be a regularly-used toy, especially for someone that might have difficulty getting or keeping erections.
Buy, if you...
- Want a penis pump and masturbator in one
- Have difficulty getting erections
- Want an app-controlled masturbator
Don't buy, if you...
- Are looking for a simple masturbator
- Are sensitive to high suction on your penis
- Need lots of stimulation to orgasm
About The Sohimi Bole
The Sohimi Bole is a unique 2-in-1 toy that can be used as a penis pump and masturbator at the same time. It has flesh-like soft thermoplastic elastomer sleeve that rotates around the head of the penis, with a unique texture, and creates powerful suction to erect your penis. You can control the suction and spinning features with buttons on the toy itself or through the Joyhub app. The unique waterproof design of the Bole 2-in-1 penis pump allows the user to fill the penis sleeve with warm or cold water to add a bit of extra pleasure to the user. The warm water is more enjoyable in my opinion as it makes the toy feel more lifelike.
Pros
- ✅Very powerful penis pump
- ✅App controls
- ✅2-in-1 design can be appealing
Cons
- ❌Not great as a masturbation toy

Personal Experience
The first time using the Sohimi Bole 2-in-1 I was blown away by the suction it created. It can quickly get to an uncomfortable level if you’re not paying attention. It took a bit of time but after relaxing I did enjoy the suction on my penis. It made my erection feel much firmer and full. When pairing the suction with the circular spinning texture inside the sleeve it created a very enjoyable feeling but nothing overwhelming. After a bit of time I was able to get a setting I liked and felt good, but not after a bit of work trying all the combinations. I have used flashlight masutrbators before and comparing this to them I would say they are not close in terms of stimulation for the penis. The Sohimi Bole was just ok when it came to stimulation and feeling good. What makes it unique is the suction and penis pump feature. The way the penis pump quickly got me erect and extra hard was great but the rest of the toy left me wanting something more to use that hard erection on. You can also fill the inner tube with warm or cold water to add to the stimulation and sucking effects. The warm water option is my favorite and decently helps make the toy more enjoyable. My only word of caution is when using it full of water make sure you are aware your position and location when pulling your penis out. If you are lying down or sitting up the water will dump back out onto yourself.
Design
The overall look and design of the Sohimi Bole is basic and inconspicuous. I will say it is not very attractive to look at while using but I don’t know of many male toys that are. The toy breaks down into multiple pieces which is necessary to thoroughly clean it and make it last. However there are seals necessary for the penis pump feature to work on these pieces that can easily get pinched or not seated back properly.
Ease of Use
The toy itself is very easy to use and fairly intuitive in design. I had no issues with the app connectivity or accessing the manual control buttons on the toy itself. The only issue I have is with the penis pump feature and how hard it began sucking on the lower settings.
Quality
The quality of the material and toy is very good. I will say I don’t care for the color much but the thermoplastic elastomer is soft and durable along with the outer shell being of a durable plastic. The only thing I can see that may be an issue is the bottom TPE material where the penis is inserted looks like it will wear down and bit and possibly cause some suction loss if it does not seat properly to seal. When using the toy you will definitely notice the noise. The spin feature is not very quiet however, if you are just using this as a pump for suction it will be much quieter.
Price
Right now this toy is $52.99 on the Sohimi website. At that price this is a good value, in my opinion. For anyone that has erection problems and needs a penis pump this is probably a very good value. Being that the toy is waterproof and has multiple features I would recommend it to anyone looking to step into a male masturbation toy even with the price near $50.
Performance
The Sohimi Bole 2-in-1 penis pump seems to be a very good penis pump but just an ok male masturbator. It nice to see a 2-in-1 design and I think this could be an excellent toy with some refinement. I found the toy to be much easier to control with the buttons on the top vs the app and do feel that the app itself is a let down for this you specifically. I could see the app getting a few updates and it being a great add on to the toy especially with the videos and pattern options available however there are currently limited videos and the controls on the toy itself are not easy to maneuver from pattern to pattern since you have to cycle through them all to get back to one you may have liked.
Packaging
The toy came in a plain all black box with no labeling or designs on it at all. I actually prefer this discreetness and potential cost savings design from toy manufacturers. I would however liked to see maybe a sack type sleeve for the toy since it is not very inconspicuous in design or overall looks.
Materials and care
The toy itself is made of durable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and hard plastic. The suction tube and sleeve are both waterproof and seem durable in design. To clean the toy the sleeve, tube, and insert all come apart and can be easily cleaned with warm water and toy safe cleaners. Be mindful of the o ring gasket that goes between the power head of the unit and the clear tube. It is necessary to keep a good seal and strong suction. Being that this toy is not discrete in design I would also recommend getting a breathable bag or container to store it in after use.
