Title: Advice/Opinions please!
Post by: kenton_07 on July 09, 2013, 09:33:00 PM
I'm looking to buy an erect model from Emisil or one with a flex rod from Reelmagik. I'm going to be going to college at the end of August and I'm getting a bit worried about meeting girls as I've already had top surgery and I've been on T for almost 2 years. I have the money for the Reelmagik but I'm not sure if I want to wait that long to receive the product or not.

Can you or anyone else make a recommendation on what to do here? I would just promptly buy the Emisil prosthetic but with the adhesive issues, I don't know if it would end up working out. Looks like I may have to sacrifice on time or adhesion but any input from anyone would be awesome. Thanks!

Since the quality of both are so high, my advice would be to grab the Emisil for now and then use the left over cash as a seed fund for a later RM purchase.  RM is coming out with new products soon...you might want to wait and see what they come up with.  Then later, if you want, you can pass along the Emisil at half-price or something, maybe?

Buying based on adhesion alone seems a bit iffy, because even with RM, some folks have had issues depending on their skin type/budget/the rigorousness of the sex they have/etc.  You might end up having to use a harness either way, unfortunately.  I know that's what one of the RM guys at the Trans Health Con said; that it SHOULD work, and that it does usually, but that you might want to invest in a harness as a "plan B."  Since adhesion isn't a "sure thing," you might want to buy based on your other criteria, instead.  And you just cant beat Emisil (it seems) for quality/time.

I have an erect from emisil (ER02). It doesn't glue to my skin. This may depend on my skin texture or glue.

Wow I did not know about people having adhesion issues with RM too. This helps out a ton and I think I'll go with the Emisil for now! Thanks!
