Title: FreeToM 5" 4in1 (DIY editing project)
Post by: Remiie on March 04, 2015, 10:54:48 AM
Okay so I've just got it and I'm slowly figuring it out and my opinions on it. So far I can tell you that it needs a lot of DIY work done on it. I will update over time as I edit the problems and find solutions to make the attractive model actually functional. So far I just have my initial opinions on it and it doesn't meet up well. Long story short its a big DIY project and not worth buying if you don't want to spend a couple months making it work correctly.


Freetom straight out of box opinions:

Well I've not even worn it yet and I'm worried about the tip of the penis. The website mentioned "Trailing" slits and not even worn my one appears to be splitting. the 'hole' for the pee is a little badly cut and looks very rough. (I will be doing a little modding to this myself to make it so it doesn't split)
The split at the head is a little worrying though as it could split further down before I can even fix it.

A problem noted before by others is that the 'cup' has a lot of excess silicone. On my model it appears that they have cut off all the excess themselves before sending it over to me which is an improvement!

The inside of the balls has SOME brushstroke marks but isn't ugly and too much.

The penis overall has a very speckled bubbley look from the moulding process, its not too much of a big deal though.

Wearing (without rod):
I haven't used it to pee yet but the silicone on the outside is very flexible? I'm not quite sure how you could pee with this without it flopping out of place??
The cup is slightly thicker on one side than the other so while you are wearing it it kind of flops to the right.
It also tends to 'bend' at the balls and NOT at the base of the penis.
Its a little heavy, you do need a harness to hold it on you. (will update after wearing it longer)

Peeing:
Because of how flimsy the back is & how small the pee hole is it backed up and made the back/side collapse over the weight of the urine. It wasn't even that much urine.
will update what its like to pee with after making the hole a little wider & seeing if I can make the back/cup a little stronger.
The material is wayy too soft in the balls and pleasure slide. it flops around far too easily.

Pleasure slide:
From just using my fingers on it I'm not sure how it would be able to provide sensation considering how soft it is as well as considering how much the cup moves around.

Overall? I have a lot of work to do before it is functional. If FreeTom is paying attention to reviews this is what they need to do to fix the problems:
Fill the back of the balls up with silicone. Just a bit thicker there would solve a lot of problems. Support the sides with strong silicone so it doesn't collapse in on itself every time you need to go to the bathroom, seriously its WAY too flimsy. When you cut the pee hole, TEST IT. The hole is wayy too small on this, its barely a crack. And when you cut them find a better method of cutting it than whatever you are doing because its a serious mess in there. Also be sure to check if its gonna split before sending it out because mine started to before I even wore it. Also, the whole 'outward splaying' thing the cup does? Its a really bad design flaw if you are marketing it for sex. If anyone were to thrust with it, it collapses in onto you long before you are able to push forward with it. Too fiddly.

To anyone buying it:
If you don't have the skill, time or money for a DIY project like I do - don't get it.

His work lacks refinement. He needs to take some time out and learn the techniques. He also needs to size down his products. I think a 7 inch STP is a little silly.

Good luck on your DIY project. I know some guys seem to like his products imo, they aren't skillfully made. I think he has good ideas.

He does not seem to be reading or looking at reviews.

Honestly, I believe if he just re-created or simply edited how the cup works it would be alright. But at the same time I doubt he will because everyone keeps buying it. The penis part is alright though, It feels great, its not THAT bad (apart from the shoddy cut out pee hole). The 7inch id understand if it was marketed as a Play & Pleasure (even though the pleasure slide doesn't work imo), hell even a play, pleasure and pee.. but pack it is not, the 5" itself is already on the awkward end of packing due to its weight - though with a self-made harness I think I can make it work. The fact I saw on their twitter that they were thinking of making an 8in 4in1 just is insane to me.

All in all I think he could do it and make it work, I'm just not sure hes going to. Although I am thinking that if my DIY project goes well I might consider seeing if I can make a packer product of my own. I already have an understanding of the mechanics of it.
