Review of A Krow’s Nest’s Eel

DISCLAIMER: I got this for free for the purpose of review from @akrowsnest. While I know it doesn’t change my opinion of the item, I want to be transparent.

Secondary disclaimer: My opinions are mine and my partner’s alone, so if you disagree, that’s totally fine. Just know that my opinion is my own.

Also, there are not any pictures in use or of naughty bits, but this is a sex toy (though an adorable one) and if you don’t want to see one, keep scrolling.

On to the review!

I’ll throw some pictures up, so you can see this little guy.

He’s pretty tiny. Also, excuse my awful table, I’m in the process of moving and everything is a mess so it was the only relatively clean surface not covered in packing tape or boxes. A Krow’s Nest’s website states:

Total length 1.5625″

Circumference of Head 3.5″

Diameter of Head 1.5″

Circumference of Middle 3.75″

Diameter of Middle 1.375″

Diameter of Mouth Opening 0.875″

Diameter of Back Opening 0.5″

And that seems pretty true to size.

Here’s another couple shots with my hand for reference -

I’m a fairly big dude for someone AFAB at 5′8″ almost 5′9″ and I have fairly large hands, but at least there’s some comparison of something other than a soda can. I’m not going to lie, I do wish it was a little bigger, but I’ll get into that in a bit. Before I do that, I’m going to show you the rest of the Eel.

Excuse the fuzzies; it was in my sex toy bag which apparently has decided to give off every last bit of fuzz onto this thing.

Now onto the meat of the review.

Material: The Eel is pretty soft and very fun to squish. It is extremely stretchy and pliable, but it bounces right back to shape. It has the potential to be really awesome… but I fear that both my partner and I had a really hard time with this. Being platinum cure silicone, it is body safe and very easy to clean. Having a hole through it means that you can basically soap up your finger and give it a quick poke around and it cleans up like nothing.

Now, while I DO like this, a lot (mainly for the texture), I do have a pretty big problem with it. The main issue with The Eel is the lip. You can see it in the photos - there is a pretty significant overhang of the “upper lip” area (and the lower curls up as well which makes the opening even smaller), and it very much makes it hard to get my junk into the Eel’s mouth, and for my partner it was next to impossible without a lot of frustrating tries. Both of us are very much too endowed to get our genitalia into the smaller side (I’m around 1.5″ long and about 1″ diameter and my partner is a bit more than 2″ and around 1″ diameter), but with that lip, it makes it hard to get even the stiffest of boners into that mouth hole. I tried using it solo in every position possible and even tried using it on my partner and vice versa, but it really, really didn’t work for either of us about 60% of the time. When it DID work, it was a bit frustrating that you couldn’t go more than about 10 strokes without it coming off or losing suction.

The few times that I could get my anatomy into the Eel, it was awesome. The texture is really pleasant, it feels amazing, and it is really satisfying to me… for like 2 minutes, until I inevitably pop out and have to struggle to get back in by pulling that lip overhang back, pulling my foreskin back, plugging the smaller hole, and fighting to get it to suck up my flesh. It would probably work infinitely better for me if the end was closed, but even when plugging it with a finger, there is still the issue of getting *in* to the Eel. It was really fun using it on my partner and vice versa once we got it to work, but it means that you have to lay pretty much entirely still so that you don’t pop back out or end up losing suction.

Overall, if you are looking for something that is more of a novelty, or great for slow and gentle foreplay, or that someone can use on you, I do suggest this for someone under 2″ in length and under 1″ in diameter. It is under $20 on A Krow’s Nest’s Etsy, high quality silicone, easy to clean, and when it DOES work, it is absolutely fun.

All in all:

Material: 10/10

Texture: 10/10

Cleanliness: 7/10 (easy to clean, but silicone picks up fuzzies)

Suction: 4/10

Shape (mouth): 3/10

Price: N/A for me, but affordable IMO

Shipping: 9/10 - definitely safe, fast, but not super discrete - the box did straight up say A Krow’s Nest on it. I am not worried about that though as I have a P.O. Box and don’t care.
