I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy the KIIROO Ashley Barbie stroker for about two weeks now, and I must say, I’m impressed. This stroker is both fantastic on its own merits, but also (in my humble opinion) demonstrates how far KIIROO has come in their feelstar development since the first strokers were released. For this review, my thoughts come from both manual use, and using the stroker automatically in the KEON.

​

Tunnel Texture and Penetration Experience:

The tunnel/texture on this stroker is absolutely fantastic. It has incredibly high stimulation, without being too intense. Just looking at the diagram of the tunnel makes you appreciate how much work has been put into these stroker designs since the early releases of the Britney and Natalia. I had previously reviewed the Victoria June stoker, which had become one of my favorites. The Ashley stroker nears the Victoria in stimulation, but manages to have a completely different feel. This is very welcome, as I have found that with so many crazy internal textures on strokers, many struggle to truly differentiate themselves from others.

The initial insertion is extremely satisfying. The narrow passage provides some excellent stimulation right off the bat, which immediately gives way once the head of your penis breaches it into the first chamber, providing an extremely satisfying sensation immediately after penetration. This narrow passage also feels wonderful to pull out of when thrusting, as the ridges provide some great stimulation to your glans and frenulum.The first major chamber provides a nice immediate change in sensation. While the initial entrance is tight, the pressure of the tunnel on the head of your penis subsides, leaving much more room to really feel the intricate patterns of bumps and nubs on the head of your penis. Before hitting the next chamber, you are once again greeted with a nice narrow ring which provides some satisfying resistance and once again changes the type of pressure and stimulation to your penis before you once again break through into a more open chamber.

The second chamber provides a bit less stimulation to the head, applying a bit of pressure and hugging the head of your penis, allowing the sensations of the other earlier chambers and narrow passages on your shaft to take center stage. While the textures in some toys seem to mainly provide pleasure and stimulation to the head of the penis, the design of the bumps and nubs in this sleeve provide plenty of satisfying and pleasurable stimulation to the shaft during your entire time inside of the stroker.

Finally, this stroker's highlight for me was the final textures I was able to reach. First, you are greeted by a small ribbed texture that opens up into a bit of a cone shaped chamber, with a ring of nubs that stick out, stimulating your glans and frenulum as you pass in and out. The next feature was the absolute best part for me. The head of your penis is next thrust into an extremely narrow passage with multiple intense ridges. The sensation of just the head of my penis thrusting in and out of this section was toe curling. While the entire penetration experience is wonderful, I found myself tending to stay as deep in the toy as I could, bucking my hips in and out of that final inch of the tunnel, the intense ridges hugging and stimulating my head, while all of the other intricate rings and bumps stimulated my shaft. While it may be difficult to restrain yourself because of how pleasurable it feels, trying to edge a bit is well worth it here. The eventual orgasm is close to the strongest I’ve had with any toy I’ve used before. I’ve found that I have been able to achieve similarly intense orgasms with every use.

While edging with this toy feels wonderful, the intensity of the toy can easily finish you off in a couple of minutes should you wish to just have a quick session.The unique variation of chambers in this stroker brought me to an interesting find with the KEON. With virtually every stroker I’ve used (both KIIROO and Fleshlight), the KEON increases the pleasure of the experience significantly. However, while the Ashley does still feel absolutely wonderful with the KEON, it really shines with manual use. The massive variation in features for you to focus the head of your penis on means that this toy really shines when you find the chamber that feels best to you, and you focus on just an inch or two of it. While the fluid and fast motion of the KEON is great for most, the ability to just focus on any small section of the tunnel that manual use gives you is incredibly powerful with this toy.

In comparison to it’s sister-release, the Romi Chase stroker, the eventual strength of the orgasms I achieved with both were very similar, however the experience of intensity and stimulation over the course of a session with each was very different. Where the intensity and stimulation of the Romi stroker seemed to increase consistently in a straight line throughout your session until you finished, the Ashley is much more subtle during the early part of your session, slowly and slowly building, before the intensity of the sensations rapidly increases just before your orgasm. This is a nice change in pace, and provides a unique experience while allowing you to have equally pleasurable orgasms.

​

Orifice Appearance/Quality:

One of the biggest gripes I had with early Feelstar sleeves were the appearance of the orifice. I never pick strokers based on the orifice, as it has no impact on the pleasure you experience like the tunnel does. However, seeing a realistic orifice just contributes to the pleasure and excitement of the experience, especially at the moment of initial penetration.

The molds of early feelstar sleeves were fairly poor. You could tell it was a vulva, but there was very little detail, and they appeared to be more of a generic abstraction of one rather than an actual mold. Since then, the quality of the molds has seemed to increase with every new release. While the appearance of the orifice still has a long way to go before it reaches the level of realism that the Fleshlight Girls series of strokers has, the mold of the Ashley stroker does look like a vulva and is enjoyable and satisfying to penetrate.

​

Sleeve Material/Case Appearance and Quality:

The quality of the case and the material of the strokers is really where KIIROO strokers differentiate themselves from fleshlight strokers. The plastic of the sleeves is robust, and feels solid in your hand. The threads on the suction cap are made incredibly well, making adjustment of the suction extremely smooth, and easily adjustable. This differs wildly from fleshlight cases, where the poor threading on the suction caps have caused caps to become stuck for me, or giving you an option of only no suction, or extreme suction, and nothing in between. The matte finish of the stroker is also nice, as it allows you to have a solid grip on the stroker, even when your hands are covered in lube. The final thing I appreciate about KIIROO’s stroker cases is the size. It is easy to hide discreetly, and a reasonable size. It also doesn’t have the brand name printed on the outside which loudly announces “I am a sex toy” to anyone who accidentally comes across it. If discreteness is important to you, these cases are great.

Finally, the material. The favorite thing about KIIROO’s strokers from the beginning has been the material. My major gripe with my fleshlights has been how damn sticky they get, even when using the renewing powder (corn starch) to manage it. While KIIROO’s sleeves do inevitably become a bit tacky over time, they are nothing compared to Fleshlight. As an experiment, I used my Victoria sleeve regularly for six weeks without applying any renewing powder. By the end, the stroker was still slightly less tacky than a brand new fleshlight out of the box.The ability of the sleeves to go through multiple uses without picking up a bunch of hair with little maintenance has meant that KIIROO strokers have become viable as day-to-day masturbators for me. In the past, the use of sex toys has been a “special occasion” thing for me. The amount of maintenance and preparation involved meant they really weren’t worth the hassle unless I had an hour of free time to masturbate to really enjoy the experience. I now rarely use my hand to masturbate, and my KIIROO strokers have become go-tos for both long sessions, and when I need to just quickly get off in the shower before work. It’s something I greatly appreciate, as it addresses the thing that irritated me the most about the majority of male masturbators.

​

Cleaning:

Cleaning this stroker was incredibly easy, especially considering how detailed it is. Simply running water through it for 15-30 seconds cleaned all the lube and semen out of it completely. It may be due to the material of the sleeves being less sticky than fleshlight, but I’ve found that more intricate fleshlight sleeves can be difficult to get all of your semen out of the small nooks and crannies. I haven’t had this issue with my KIIROO sleeves at all.This sleeve also dries reasonably quickly too. 12-24 hours in a room with low-humidity left it bone dry. Lying it down in front of a fan that blew air directly through it dried it completely in under 2 hours.

​

Conclusion:

The Ashley Barbie stroker is absolutely fantastic. It is highly stimulating, providing similarly intense orgasms as the Victoria June and Romi Chase strokers, while still providing a completely different experience. If you enjoy really feeling the variation in different textures on the head of your penis, this is a wonderful wonderful stroker. I’ve had the opportunity to test 19 different sex toys so far, but really only use about 2 or 3 on a frequent basis. The Ashley Barbie has now added itself to that rotation. I am average size, and really enjoyed this sleeve. The tunnel is not overly tight, or too loose, which makes this a viable option for penises of all sizes, which can’t be said about a whole lot of strokers.
