How to Choose Your First Onahole
Short answer: start soft, start mid-size, and don't overspend on your first sleeve. Three decisions cover 90% of the choice — softness, size, and internal structure.
1. Softness & material
Japanese makers grade TPE from marshmallow-soft to firm. Soft types are forgiving and comfortable for beginners; firmer builds emphasize texture detail. If unsure, choose soft — it's the most common first pick in our catalog.
2. Size & weight
300–600g single-hand sleeves are the sweet spot for a first purchase: easy to hold, clean, and store. Torsos (1.5kg+) reward experience but demand storage space and care time.
3. Structure
Single-layer = one material throughout, simple and durable. Dual-layer = firm core with a soft skin, closer to realistic feedback — the signature of premium Japanese builds and character-art series.

Onahole Questions, Answered
How do I choose my first onahole?
Pick a soft-type, single-hand sleeve (300–600g) under ¥5,000. Softness is beginner-friendly, the size is easy to maintain, and the price lets you learn your preferences before investing in a premium dual-layer build.
What's the difference between single-layer and dual-layer?
Single-layer uses one material throughout — simple, durable, affordable. Dual-layer wraps a firmer core in soft outer skin for more realistic pressure feedback; it's the hallmark of premium Japanese engineering.
Are onaholes reusable, and how do I care for them?
Yes — with basic care, quality onaholes last months of regular use. Rinse with lukewarm water, dry thoroughly, and dust lightly with renewal powder. Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
Will the package be discreet?
Completely. Every order ships in a plain box with a neutral sender name — nothing on the outside hints at the contents, and nothing appears on customs paperwork beyond a generic product category.
Do I pay customs fees on delivery?
No. We ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): the price at checkout already includes shipping, duties, and taxes for your country. There are no surprise charges at the door.
What is a meiki?
"Meiki" (名器) means "celebrated vessel" — onaholes modeled in collaboration with real Japanese actresses, prized for anatomical fidelity. They're the collector tier of the catalog, typically dual-layer and individually licensed.
