Autoblow VacuGlide — Test & Review

The VacuGlide: My Journey

Presentation

Testing It Out

The Experience

My take on the VacuGlide’s design

If it wasn't for the large "Autoblow" logo on the front, this toy could easily pass as some sort of niche pump. I mean, technically, it is! The aluminum exterior looks very polished, and the mostly silver design with black accents pairs well with the plain tubing and black sleeve. I really like how the sleeves can come apart, as this makes cleaning the toy extremely easy. The tube is fairly easy to get on/off, and the shaped "feet" on the VacuGlide help to keep it from rolling away during use.

My User Experience

The controls on this toy are extremely simple. There's the start/stop button, two speed buttons, two stroking buttons, and the power switch. As long as you remember that you need to hold down the stroking buttons for them to work, you pretty much have all the knowledge you need to get started enjoying this toy. If you've adjusted as much as possible and still can't get the stroking length right, there's also an Allen wrench included with the toy to help you adjust it even more precisely. Personally, I didn't have to use this, but you might find it helpful!

Grading the Quality

You can just tell this thing is high-quality. All of the surfaces feel smooth and polished; even the plastics feel well-made. Being well-made can be a downside though, which becomes apparent when it's time to disconnect the tube. Pro tip? Disconnect the end from the VacuGlide first to make your life a bit easier! All of the parts fit together perfectly, from the tubes to the sleeves and even the plugs. The buttons do have a little bit of wiggle to them, but this is to be expected, as they're only plastic.

Price of the VacuGlide

The biggest downfall of this device is the price tag. To be perfectly honest, I actually preferred the Autoblow AI Ultra over this device! However, whether or not it's worth buying for you really depends on the type of stimulation you're after (I prefer friction). If you prefer suction to friction-based stroking, then you have to ask yourself: how often will I actually use this? If the answer is every day, well then, I'd say it might be worth it. The high-quality device will no doubt last for years to come, which weighs heavily in its favor.

Testing the Limits of the VacuGlide

Overall, I liked the toy, although getting it to the point where you can use it hands-free takes a bit of effort. As previously mentioned, this will work best if you've shaved your pubic hair, as anything that gets in the way of the seal will ruin the suction. Personally, I found that just holding the toy made the whole process a lot easier, especially since it likes to loosen itself up a bit on higher settings. The entire hands-free experience relies heavily on suction, so I don't think you could do this if you had a thinner penis. I found that using extra lube, pushing the device down to the base of my penis, and adjusting accordingly worked the best.

Packaging: A Testament to Quality?

The packaging is fairly accurate when it comes to describing the toy, claiming "vacuum-induced milking action!". Reading it will give you a bit more information about the toy, such as the strokes per minute it can achieve, what adjustments it offers, and what types of penises it will work with. I like how the front of the boy has a QR code right on it, as this links you to videos that will give you more detailed instructions on how to use and adjust the toy. The back lists everything that comes with the toy, showing the toy packed into the backpack (which will be useful if you forget where everything goes).

How to care for the VacuGlide

Being mains-powered, the VacuGlide isn't waterproof. This won't be an issue, though, as the only part you'll likely need to clean often is the sleeve. Since the sleeve is on the other end of an eight-foot tube, cleaning it will be a breeze. You can actually completely disassemble the sleeve, separating the body-safe silicone sleeve from the plastic casing. This makes it easy to clean everything without worrying about missing dips or ridges. As mentioned above, this also comes with a backpack, which is great for everyday storage and travel alike!
