Kiiroo Powerblow Review: The Interactive Suction Device

Men’s sex toys were revolutionized in 1998 when the Fleshlight, the first reusable silicone male masturbator, hit store shelves.

From that time on, men’s masturbation toys have gotten more sophisticated, but the mid-range ones still share the same general form factor: A squishy silicone sleeve that’s trapped in a flashlight-like (torch-like if you’re in the UK) cylinder, that’s placed over your cock and pulled in and out until you release into it.

What’s the Kiiroo PowerBlow?

Add-ons to simple toys like the Fleshlight, and Kiiroo’s equivalent, the Feel series of masturbators, often disappoint, because the operation of the toy is so simple that just about anything that could get it away from that basic principle would be a strict step down.

But the Kiiroo PowerBlow, billed as a blowjob simulator, would be a simple option, and probably a strict upgrade for a Fleshlight-like toy.

The best options for a toy are the simplest.

The PowerBlow’s form factor is a simple knob that screws onto the top of a Kiiroo Feel toy and sucks.

The suction then makes the Feel toy’s squeezing tighter, and makes orgasms easier to reach, harder, and more fulfilling. Reaching orgasm faster and harder is the basic goal of any sex toy.

If PowerBlow works as advertised, it enhances the basic idea of pocket pussy or stroker like toys, making them more fun and easier to play with and handle.

It’s a great concept, and fascinatingly simple: A straight upgrade to an already popular toy.

But then, so was the Sega 32X, and that crashed and burned so hard that it almost destroyed the company…

How does it work?

Ok now that we’ve gone through some basic introduction and maybe planted a seed of doubt in your mind with that last paragraph, how does this thing work, and is it the 32X of sex toys?

The answer, fortunately, is no. The Kiiroo PowerBlow is, at its core, a suction device that pulls air out of the Feel stroker’s body, making it cling tighter to the user’s cock.

The device is simple in operation.

Even better, it can be operated either from controls on the toy or from the phone app, but if you’re masturbating it might be a little much to try to juggle a phone, a mouse, and the actual stroker.

Fortunately, the body controls are super simple to operate.

The basic configuration of a Fleshlight or RealStroker kind of toy has a small hole at the top with the access of the toy to air controlled by opening or partially closing the hole with a cap.

The more the hole is open, the more pressure equalizes with the outside environment and the looser the feeling of the toy is. It’s basic physics, which you probably paid minimal attention to in high school.

PowerBlow enhances this with more science, specifically the same kind of vent fans that are in your laptop.

So basically, you get some of that air continuously sucked out to maintain a partial vacuum inside the toy.

How to Attach?

The PowerBlow attaches to the top of the Feel toy’s body with a rubber gasket that keeps the air it’s sucking out of the toy from leaking back in.

Nature abhors a vacuum, after all (which is why witches never ride Hoovers).

Once you have the gasket in place, there’s no way for the air to leak back in, which leads naturally to the controls of the toy.

What Does it Do?

Reusable pocket pussies like Fleshlight and FeelStroker normally come with a screw-on cap that creates a partial vacuum inside the toy.

Replacing that screw-on cap with the PowerBlow gives you access to higher partial vacuums inside, improving the feeling of suction that you get from the stroker’s skin.

In short, you can get harder, stay harder, and cum harder with PowerBlow attached than without it, unless you’re skilled at setting up the cap.

And let’s face it, nobody’s “really skilled” when they’re masturbating.

If you’re setting up your PowerBlow, there are two main options for operating it: You can operate it using the FeelConnect app on your phone, the same as any other Kiiroo toy (FeelConnect works for Kiiroo the same way the Lovense app does for Lovense toys), or you can operate it using the controls on the toy itself.

For the PowerBlow, the toy controls make a good bit more sense than using the app.

As I said before, juggling three sets of controls to make your toy work while you’re also trying to watch your porn and just get off is a bit much.

Fortunately, the onboard controls are simple. The up button increases the pressure, the down button decreases it.

Once you let go of the control buttons, the suction tries to always keep the same pressure on the toy, letting a little air in when it rises too high and letting it back out when it comes back down.

So, you’re getting a consistent, strong blowjob from the toy without having to constantly fiddle.

Another thing you’re going to be happy to hear, since this is a toy made of ABS plastic, is that cleaning it is almost not required.

The RealFeel TPE material of the inside of the sleeve should collect all your bodily fluids.

You are hereby reminded that RealFeel TPE is porous and needs to be thoroughly cleaned at the end of every play session and discarded if the texture starts to change or the toy starts to absorb off smells or discolored spots.

Make sure you turn the sleeve inside out every so often to check.

A friend of mine reused a Tenga cup a few times when he was in his 20s and got a nasty STD as a result. Don’t do that.

Green Means Go, Red Means Stop

The power indicator on the PowerBlow is one of the simplest parts of the toy, and anybody who’s ever sat at a stop light understands how it works.

The light starts at green from 100 to 90% power and as the power wanes in the battery, it turns first yellow, then orange, then red.

When the battery is red and flashing, it’s time to put it on the charger because it’s going to be out of power soon.

The simplicity and familiarity of the indicator is a huge bonus because when you’re really going, you probably aren’t really recognizing subtlety.

The nice thing about the simple indicator, then, is that it really doesn’t take anything to recognize what your toy is trying to tell you.

Really this is the case anyway – if the suction is losing strength with the same amount of input, it means you’re close to the end of your battery life.

But visual indicators are easier to interpret than context.

Just remember when you’re looking at your PowerBlow power indicator: “Green means stop, yellow means caution, orange means you’re pushing it, and red means stop.”

That simple rule will serve you just as well in the PowerBlow as on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for, anyway?

The PowerBlow is for anyone who wants to experiment with an automated blowjob machine (like Kiiroo’s own Keon or Fleshlight’s Launch series) but fear the three-digit price tag on either of those devices.

It doesn’t have the same features as one of the other devices, but it absolutely has some magic to impart to your nether regions and can leave you feeling very satisfied.

So basically, it’s for (most) cisgender men and (some) pre- or non-op transgender women.

Who Isn’t this for?

Apart from the obvious (anyone who doesn’t have a penis), the PowerBlow isn’t for someone who’s already decided that a higher-end toy is the right thing for them.

With that said, PowerBlow is perfectly compatible with both Keon and the first-generation Fleshlight Launch.

It’s also not for someone who doesn’t care to use their hands to get a blowjob feeling, so if that makes you feel weird, be warned.

Of course, if it makes you feel weird, you’re probably not using a stroker in the first place.
