Stylish flesh Ali Review

I have previously had a Mr. Limpy 3.5" and a sailor. I use a medicine spoon stp very reliably and daily. I tried modifying my limpy with a spoon but really never liked it. I decided I really wanted to upgrade to something I might be able to use at a urinal. I decided to try stylish flesh. I know they are mostly preferred by guys who want an uncut penis, but I can't picture myself with a foreskin, so I got an Ali. I've had it now for three weeks so seems a reasonable time to evaluate. I haven't had any of the other higher end products to compare it to, so some of my enthusiasm is bound to be because it's my first realistic packer at all, but I am still trying to be objective.

I emailed Gaspar with some questions, and like others found him very receptive and responded quickly. The service was excellent. I had some troubles paying for my order because my ordering country, payment address and shipping address were in three different countries, and using three different names. But he worked well with me to find a payment method that would be accepted. I was also concerned about shipping times since I needed to ship to a hotel I'd be staying at since I can't receive packages at my home because I'm never home during business hours and was uncomfortable shipping to my office. It all worked out great, the package arrived smoothly, several days ahead of me and with no import duties due. Package was discreet. I could tell what it was by feel since it was in an envelope, but no one else did. My partner picked it up for me, and I'd not mentioned what was in it and he thought it was a new binder.

Packing: My first thought on opening it was that this thing was *huge* how would I ever pack it? But, I stuck it in the harness, and found that it was held very secure and tight and was actually a bit easier to pack than the sailor is, though I was still really self conscious for a bit. I have since decided that the harness isn't very comfortable for me. The leg straps are pretty narrow and tend to twist and bite on me. I think if the leg straps were wider, it would be more comfortable. I might try to modify it at some point, but I'm really bad at sewing. But I was also really active that first day so I might have just pushed too far. I was walking about 15 miles that day, and after 5 stopped and took it off. I decided to try it just in my underwear instead of switching to my sailor. I thought it packed really well anyway. I was wearing compression shorts and surprisingly, it rode kind of nicely in there. And didn't twist around! It stays much better than either of my others, I think the extra weight in the balls keeps it upright. But I felt so much better not having my dick upside down and backwards all the time. The bulge is very realisticaly sized and shaped. I think the harness is a little better and I had to fiddle with it a bit to figure out how high to wear it for best visual effect. There is one day I was moving around a lot, kneeling and squatting and standing up, and it did shift around such that I now have a picture of me petting a cow where I look like I have a boner and it's a little awkward. But a quick adjustment takes care of that and partner thinks the picture is really funny. For the most part, it does what it's supposed to. I'm mostly a boxer briefs guy and only notice it shifting in my looser undies. The shaft is flexible and packs whatever direction you want. On the whole, much better than my previous packers.

Peeing: I am really used to a spoon, and this took some getting used to. I think my initial problem is that I was trying to use it like a spoon, and it doesn't work the same way so I was leaking out the back. One I got the position right, it seems pretty straight forward. I also abandoned the idea of going through my fly like I do with my spoon. I really need to unbutton too. But my pants can stay all the way up. The other problem I had is that when you're doing it right, it feels like when things go wrong with my spoon. So I panicked and tried to fix something that wasn't wrong in the first place. Even recognizing this, I don't really like this part, I can feel pee on girl parts and it's a little dysphoric for me because it makes me more aware of them. With the spoon, I don't feel anything and it's still a little faster and easier which will hopefully shift with practice. I also think I get a more male stream pattern with the spoon, though I'm getting closer as I play with the shaft angle a bit. I initially was going with it pointed down to avoid leaks, but the stream is better pointed out a bit further. Don't squeeze too hard, it is possible to pinch the tube in it. I'd say I'm between 90-95% on it at this point, not quite where I want to be, but I'm figuring out what was going wrong and I think those last few occasional issues will be resolved soon.

Visual: I *love* this penis. The detailing is good, including shaft veins and a distinct glans with color shift. My partner was impressed but he thought the only thing missing was a line where the foreskin would have attached. I didn't mind, and there is a color difference between shaft and head, it's just not exactly the same as natural. He didn't think I'd have any trouble at a urinal. The balls are flat backed, and the scrotum is not terribly well defined. But, when I held it up against my partner, next to his, it was pretty damn close. At that temperature, the balls were actually really accurate, and size and shape of everything were all very very similar. The testicles are asymmetrical, which I really like as well. When I stick the shaft out of my fly, like to pee, it just really looks like it belongs there. And my partner really liked it. I got the caramel color, which is pretty close, though not perfect. I'm a pretty pale red head, and was surprised by how light it is. I can't imagine who would be able to use the lightest color. It's fairly pink, so if your legs are at all tan, it would probably look funny. Since my skin is all very white and doesn't really tan, this is a reasonable color for me. If you are at all brown, I would go with swarthy since the pink would look a little silly with my partners skin.

Feel: It's made of cyberskin, but feels different than my other cyberskin stuff. Needs powdering, but not as often either. The density is nice, as is the weight of the whole package. The weight ratio of the balls to shaft is really good. And feels nice between my legs. It absolutely passed the grab test, and my partner preferred that to the other materials. Trying not to get too descriptive, but it was also able to transmit the feeling of rubbing the seam on the front of my underwear through to my junk.

Construction: The penis is made of cyberskin, but the spoon is made of silicone. The attachment of the two is with a layer of clear flexible silicone across the whole back side. I appreciate this, because it not only makes a good seal of the material, but also means that it's mostly silicone touching my sensitive bits instead of cyberskin. The clasp unbuttons easily with one hand, though its more awkward to close for me, probably just need more practice. While working out in the heat, the clasp worked itself open once from getting wet and slippery. There is a seam on the underside of the shaft that looks like an error, but isn't a big deal as it wouldn't be seen. I've had some chaffing and deterioration of the cyberskin already, which makes me a little concerned about durability. I expect it won't hold up as well as silicone would, but hopefully it's just some initial peeling as it settles into usage. It might also be me not powdering it enough. There were a few small bubbles and cracks in the surface of the balls right away, but I didn't mind or really see it as a defect. I'm planning to clean up the peeling bits and try to powder it better and see if that gets the peeling back under control, as I think that's really my only hesitation at this point. Not sure how long silicone ones last, but I'd also note that its much cheaper than a similar realism in silicone, so maybe it's a fair trade, I'll update as it ages.

I think the harness is well designed and constructed in general, but as I said the leg straps weren't working for me and I haven't really used it as a result. I might try it again on a more typical day.

Feel free to ask any questions.

RomeoEcho,

This is one of the STPs I was considering getting before I eventually went for the FreeTom Sleek 5 inch STP which I've had good luck with thus far.  For me, that's saying a lot because I'm known to be  prone to having accidental spills from the back with other STPs I've tried.  I've never used a spoon because I have every reason to believe I would have to immediately change my clothes if I ever tried.  lol.  Anyway, I do have a couple of questions. 

1.  Have you ever tried the FreeTom sleek 5" STP model and if so, how does this one compare with the FreeTom model?
2.  How about the quality of the Ali model from Stylish Flesh?  Does any part of the STP feel thin or flimsy, like it could tear after prolonged use?
3.  What are the size dimensions of the shaft, the entire STP including the shaft and the widest part of the girth?

Thanks and if you're not able to answer all of the above questions, than I will happily welcome an answer from another member. 

Congrats on finding an STP that works well for you.  I know how challenging and frustrating this can be.  It can be expensive as well.  (sigh)

The one thing I loved about the stylish flesh site is that he has every measurement imaginable right on the page.  If you don't know his site, just goggle stylish flesh.  We can't post links here.

1. I have not used the Freetom, so I can make no comparisons.
2. I think the quality is pretty good. There are no thin spots or anything that feels flimsy or poorly made. The shaft is solidly attached to the balls which are appropriately sized for an adult. Other people have had issues with the silicone clasp for the receptacle, though I have not yet seen any weakness. My only concern is that it is cyberskin which will not have as long of a lifespan as silicone. Mine has some peeling of the surface in a few spots, but it is minor cosmetic damage, nothing that would be functionally a problem and require more than a quick look to notice. The trade off here is that it feels really nice.
3. In inches: shaft length: 4", shaft girth 4", full length with shaft held straight out and including folded spoon 5.5", full length with shaft down including folded spoon about 3-3.5" depending on positioning.
When compared to my cis-partner, size was very accurate, though the spoon makes the effect a little different.

Ironically, I now consider a spoon to be my easiest and most reliable method. I do not like packers modified with a spoon though, and they pack very uncomfortably for me. I love my spoon for ease, but I really needed something that looked right too.

By the way, RomeoEcho, great review.  I am sure many people will read it when they are considering a stylish flesh and will appreciate it being available.  Your thread will will come up when they put the name into "search".

Update: I've been using my Ali for two months now and I really like it. I now pee with complete confidence, and made me ready to start using urinals. I still unbutton my pants when I go, but leave the belt done. The clasp is very quick and easy to undo, and most of the time I don't feel self concsious about redoing it either. I've had no problems with clasp breakage.

I've changed my mind on the harness and I really like it now. I don't use it all the time, but I do a significant amount of the time. It does make it feel more secure and more a part of me. The trick was learning how to put it on in a way that did not cause ANY twisting of the leg straps. They do tend to twist over time or with a lot of activity now, but I'm more aware and make attempts to fix them as soon as it gets uncomfortable rather than wait until it's really uncomfortable.

The surface has remained slightly peel-y. Which I don't like, but I don't think is particularly a problem. It's more obvious right after powdering, and I don't think it's enough that a quick glance would be noticeable, a partner would though.

It's also since passed a couple of gropings with no sign of problem other than a "why aren't you hard?" If this is something you want, you should definitely wear the harness though, as otherwise the spoon sticks out and would be noticeable.

RomeoEcho,

I love that you came back to update us.  Good to hear follow up reviews after someone has used something for a period of time.  I have big respect for the owner of this product.
