*cue drumroll* Laaaadies and gentlemeeeen... I present to you, MY REVIEW OF THE FREETOM SLEEK!!
Okay, where to start... First of all, I ordered the Sleek from their website from the Clearance Section for a reduced price (around 130 bucks) due to some miniscule indentations on the head (they were about 3mm long according to the website). I'd like for you to take note that these stated imperfections did NOT interfere with the function (or even appearance/realism) of my prosthetic. Infact it took me a really good long, close-up stare to actually notice the little indentations. Barely noticeable! My prosthetic also had the paint plus option and it was light brown. Oh yeah, and the one I had ordered didn't have a pleasure slide. No loss for me since I am Pre-T. Let's move on to the specifics now:
Appearance:
Looks: Wow. The appearance of this thing is ABSOLUTELY stunning to me. I don't think I've had a more realistic prosthetic to be honest. When I first got it out of the box, this just made me a little shocked. In all honesty I really liked how these looked in the pictures and it seems that they DO live up to the realism that shines in the pictures. The paint plus took it to a whole new level. The shaft has nice detailed veins, and if you can look close enough it has little indented pores that look super real. It's very nice to touch and after a washing it's only a tiny bit stickier which goes away. Someone in the reviews mention that it feels like clammy skin after/during a wash but my skin is honestly a bit clammy anyways so it fits with me personally. That "clamminess"/stickiness goes away with the moisture once it dries. The balls are a little less realistic than the shaft with less detail but they're still realistic and IMHO it doesn't really matter as much to me because the shaft area gets the most spotlight anyways. But yeah, the looks are VERY realistic! I was pleased with them. 10/10
Packing & Size:
The appearance blew me away, but the packing not so much. This thing is 4.5 inches which is fair enough for packing size. I've had experience with 4.5 packers before so I wasn't expecting a HUGE bulge (RM basic packer for example). But the thing is, it's not the size of this that is making packing difficult. It's the largeness of the dang cup surrounding it which adds area to the thing and the density of the silicone for that. Not to mention the packer is somehow made in a way that is supposed to pop right back up anytime there is no pressure on it and the silicone is a bit firmer than your usual packer since it's made for play as well. I understand where they're coming from by doing this but it makes packing inevitably hard (no pun intended). The silicone is a bit dense and it likes to resist against underwear to pop up and make your bulge look very boner-y. Positioning and keeping the packer down is easier with the rod inserted, HOWEVER the problem with this is that if anyone were to grope you, it feels like very much a hard penis in your pants. Without the rod it feels about semi-erect. This could be good and bad. It's good for if you need something in the heat of the moment, but bad for some certain situations (just think about it). I still don't know whether I prefer packing with or without the rod since I'm still getting used to this thing. I've been thinking about getting a jockstrap since that's what people recommend for this badboy but what I've used to pack with it so far was Peecock Products' underwear harness and a very tight pair of boxer briefs. A good piece of advice: This is not made to just pop into your undies. It WILL shift around, and that WILL be bad since it could really look like a boner easily. What I found to make the bulge a bit smaller was to place it lower than I usually do when packing (right at the end of my pelvis) so that the balls are literally in between my legs. It's hard to explain but if you have one and position it that way while packing it down you can notice a difference when wearing with pants. I would not recommend this for those new to packing or those who like to wear skinny jeans since it gives a good bulge. I'll probably update this section once I get a jockstrap or some sort of good harness. 5/10 for packing.
*I'd also like to note that I bought a Light Brown but was initially hesitant about it since I'm a little pale though I tanned over the summer. I compared the color of the Sleek to both my paler and my tanner skin areas and it matched both exceptionally well. I am satisfied with the skin color.
Peeing Feature:
I have peed with this only a couple times but I have to say that the learning curve is more or less equal to that of any other funnel STP/packer. To be honest since I hadn't used a funnel in a while, I spilled on my first try but luckily it was in the shower. I recommend to be in the shower or trying it without clothes on until you get comfortable with the receptable at least. I find that the funnel is a bit wide and I think it's a bit too steep but I like that the balls are hollow so you can get any extra drops out. As with any other funnel STP there are always [a few] leftover drops or moisture but that just has to be an adjustment. It's irritating for me initially but I learned to live with it when I packed with my Peecock. Honestly with this one you have to hold it almost at a directly down angle and hold the balls to your body as well as control your flow so there is no overflow but in time you can learn how to do it perfectly. The peeing is functional but I feel like the learning curve is a bit steep but they did what they could.. I usually pee without the rod inserted but with it would be a little more difficult as pee could get trapped between the rod and the prosthetic itself. It sounds unsanitary but if you practice regular hygiene (i.e. cleaning your prosthetic at least once DAILY and showering) then you should be good to go. Since it requires some learning and isn't perfect but it functions well once you get it down, I rate the STP an 8/10.
Play/Pleasure Feature:
I cannot write a full review on this due to two things: 1) I did not have a pleasure slide included with this one since I bought it off of clearance and 2) I haven't tested it out for play and that probably won't be for a while possibly. What I can say is that I will ask my SO's perspective on the thing after we have tested it and what they think of it. I will *definitely* update this part of the review as soon as it is tested and we have put our thoughts together on it. I reckon that the erection rod is very good not only for packing but also for the play feature so you can bend it in different directions to your heart's content. I think that the prosthetic without the rod would also work for play feature since it feels a bit dense and does collapse if *squeezed* with a hand but is still firm enough for play. It feels about semi-erect without the rod and fully erect with it. The feel is very nice and realistic so I imagine it would be very pleasurable for the receiving party. So ?/10 for the packing feature but I have good hopes for it.
Verdict: I think what makes this prosthetic shine over others is the sheer realism and attention to detail that makes it a good competitor to Peecock Products. I really liked the appearance initially and I think it lived up to the realism that they capture in their display pictures. It feels great in the hand and is a good size for packing and not too big, but those new to packing be warned: This is not one that can be tamed easily. It will try to pop up in your pants due to the way that it is constructed and its density, but I am sure a good harness with tight-ish (not too tight) pants might be able to keep this guy restrained. There's a learning curve to see what placement works for what kinds of pants but one can learn that with experience. I think the rod helps a little in packing but make sure you don't get groped at an odd time so it doesn't seem inappropriate. The STP functions well and will be great once you learn how to use it and yes there will be moisture but it's something you'll get used to. Verdict Rating: 7.6/10.
ADDITIONAL SECTION:
*Additional Note: When groped without the rod inside, the Sleek does make a quiet noise since it is hollow, and this persists when it is squeezed through underwear too. However, when worn with pants and underwear, there is no sound when squeezing the rod-less Sleek, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Comparison to Peecock: I won't be giving a rating here, just a comparison between FreeTom and my Peecock. In comparison to my 4.5 Sleek, I have owned a 4 inch Peecock. They are very similar yet different. First of all, the Peecock's material is much squishier and softer than the Freetom's. It is easily collapsible and much more so due to the material. The cup/funnel of the Peecock seems to be a bit smaller and narrower than the Freetom which makes it easier to pack and the funnel inside of the Peecock is much smoother and has less of an incline to make the peeing process a bit more "with the flow". I haven't used the Peecock for play but I'm not sure how the pleasure set on the Peecock would work. I've spoken with some FTMs who used it and they said it kept falling off during play so they just had done away with it. Also, it's notable that the rod in the FreeToM is much harder to take out and seems to have a slight advantage because it is bendable in different directions and I'm almost sure it wouldn't slip out since it takes a bit of patience to pull out. As opposed to the FreeTom, the peecock's rod slides in much easier which would raise concerns of it sliding out during use and it's not bendable, in fact it was just a brittle rod. In terms of realism the FreeTom definitely wins hands down over the Peecock with coloring and with general appearance and feel. The peecock felt a bit too soft IMO and although it did have nice features and details such as veins, the balls were very very hard along with a weird texture, the coloring was quite flat and didn't match my skintone as well, etc. My final verdict would be for those who don't really have realism as their top priority and are very much new to packing then pick the Peecock. But in my opinion I like my FreeTom a bit better and I sure will 100% once I get the packing and the peeing down with some practice. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, it's just a matter of what is suitable for whom.
