FreeToM Sleek 4n1 Review
Service: My package got here on time and was discreet. It was nicely packaged, it came in a little drawstring bag made of cloth. It was also wrapped in some plastic inside of the bag. I have heard of issues with FreeToM's customer service however, the most common complaints being item taking to long to get to the customer, wrong color of product, and ignored emails.
Product:
Color: I got the Caucasian, it's an alright color. It's too light for my skin but that might've been rectified with the paint plus. Quoting another guy it looks exactly like the peach Silly Putty inside of the red egg. In some light it looks more pale. Overall not too bad but I would go darker than you think.
Packing: I don't wear harnesses so this is from a "Briefs-Only" standpoint. It's pretty easy to pack with. I either pack it straight down, curved over the balls or up. One way that makes it easy to STP for me is to put on one pair of boxer briefs and pull the shaft through the front. Then put on another pair and put the shaft up to create a bulge. Then when you go to pee and take it out of the front of the second pair the cup snaps in place sometimes, but I would still check it. It can get cumbersome sometimes, especially in looser boxer briefs. The cup will flip around a lot because it's so flimsy, which gets really really annoying and hurts when it rubs my T junk.
Playing: This is where it fell short. (Heh heh short heh heh, fine don't laugh I don't have to impress you.) The shaft is a good length for STP'ing but for play it's a little short. It slipped out a couple of times and it's lacking length makes it less versatile for different positions. The rod wasn't bad, it's nice to be able to adjust it. It does make a lot of noise but if you keep bending it back and forth it'll go away with time. Also make sure not to push the rod all the way to the tip, this'll stretch out the urethra and it can also scrape your partner's insides(ouch!) I'm guessing this is also the reason why FreeToM's rods often seem too short for the prosthetic, so it won't go all the way to the urethra. Also, for you guys with boyfriends, I don't know if I would recommend FreeToM products if you intend to insert it in your boyfriend. This is because the rod isn't long enough to reach the tip unless you push it down that far which again, would be dangerous for the prosthetic and more importantly your partner. Without the tip hard it would be difficult to put it in your boyfriend if they weren't pre-loosened. Anything above the Sleek's length I would definitely NOT recommend if your boyfriend is a virgin unless you wouldn't mind "working your way up" to your FreeToM.
Condom and Lube Pack: I also ordered condoms and lube(a bit pricey), the lube was just a packet of "Wet" brand water based lubricant. The condoms were PITCH BLACK, which I was rather mad about. Because here I have this really nice looking prosthetic and then I put the condom on and TA-DA! It looks just like any other generic dildo. Was not happy with this part.
Pleasure: This part worked somewhat for me, it feels good when "jerking off", but in some sex positions it would need to be held tighter against me. I believe FreeToM has changed the design on their pleasure slides.
STP: At first this prosthetic caused way more dysphoria than it was worth. Every time I tried to pee it spilt all over me. In one incident I tried peeing outside of my girlfriend's house because I go hiking a lot and being able to pee anywhere would severely cut down on some dysphoria. I pissed all over my shorts and didn't even bother fiddling with the prosthetic to get it back into packing position. I shamefully started to climb the stairs and made it to my girlfriend's room. So there I was, standing in the doorway of my girlfriend's bedroom, covered in piss with a "boner"(prosthetic had nothing to hold it down). That was a ball. However, after some practice I'm now able to use it through my boxers every time. The trick is to make sure the cup is covering everything it needs to, then pee in short bursts. If you can't control your pee this isn't for you.
I would also like to add in a pro that I really liked, the FreeToM, in my case, is crazy sturdy, I could pull it to almost full strength and it wouldn't break. Tips For Guys:
1. Call it your penis, not a prosthetic. This helps you develop the mindset that it's part of you. I know it's a prosthetic but calling my penis makes me feel better rather than just "a hunk of silicone in my pants."
2. Look up ways to color it, this definitely helps it look more realistic, which helps with dysphoria.
3. Don't get over-confident with the STP portion, every time I did I messed up. Make sure to check the cup every time you go to use it and make sure you empty it out.
4. Wipe the tip once you're done peeing, it collects a drop or two that'll be in your boxers if you don't.
5. Clean it well. Don't want your penis smelling gross.
6. Make sure your partner is okay with the length and girth before you "do the do".
Advice For The Company:
1. Try to start making longer prosthetics with less girth.
2. Get clear condoms.
3. Improve on customer service. Make sure to never ignore a customer and work with them rather than re-stating policy. Even if you have to take a product back and send another the business you'll get from good customer service will make up for it.
4. Make it easier to distinguish colors through pictures.

Sorry for the wall of text, I did this all from mobile. I just copied and pasted it from my Tumblr Blog, next time I'll definitely type it up on a computer directly to this site.
