Ok I've had the forte for only about a week. I received my order very fast, 3 days after placing my order. When the box came I was surprised that it weighed next to nothing, maybe a half pound. I open the box and there are 3 bells with 3 condoms attached, pump, protector cap and belt. I'll go over each piece.
Let's go over the bells first. There is small, medium and large. I barely fit into the large so I will never have a need for the other 2 and will likely out grow the large eventually. So then what? Well I guess it will then become useless unless they come out with an Xl bell that I would have to purchase separately for even more money. Seems to me they should have more sizes and offer you maybe 2 bells with it. Those being your current size and one size up. Hell if they want to give everyone 3 bells then that would be fine but I would like my size, the next size up (doesn't exist) and then the next size up from that (doesn't exist). So of the 3 bells I have I'll never use 2 of them.
Now the condoms. Although I barely even fit into the large bell the medium condom is at times too large. You can put one size smaller condom on a bell but not 2 sizes smaller. So I need the large bell and the small condom but this set up isn't possible. This makes all 3 condoms worthless to me. Luckily I have xsleeves and they work much better anyway so I don't need to buy those massively over prices flimsy condoms. 80 bucks for 3 and my medium ripped after a couple days. Screw that get some sleeves if you have a forte.
Protector cap. Worked well for a couple days. Keeps fluid retention off your glans nicely. I could feel the material becoming thinner after just a couple days at the top part. I'm guessing this is from the vacuum pressure inside the bell. Well I woke up this morning and the protector cap was ripped on the top. I didn't rip it putting it on, it ripped on it's own inside the bell. So now I have no cap. You have to buy 3 for 40 bucks with shipping from phallosan. If these pieces of crap are going to explode after less than a week they need to give you more than one.
Belt. With the belt on the smallest/tightest setting I can barely get to the start of the yellow line. I for sure could never get into the red and so times it's even just in the green on the tightest setting. Obviously I need a smaller belt but no option was offered for that. Guess it's just a one size fits most deal and the most doesn't include me. Again they should offer at least 2 sizes of belts if not 3, but there are no options in that.
My overall impression of this product is that for nearly 400 bucks much of the product is either low in quality or lacks options to get things to fit and work properly. For this amount of money I should get a product of quality that works perfectly and can be used for many years without problem. The forte fails all of these requirements. They need to go back to the drawing board here and design more sizes of bells, stronger condoms and protector caps and multiple sizes of belts to choose from. To summarize what I got for my nearly 400 bucks- I have 1 bell thAt barely fits that I will out grow, no protector cap, no usable condoms, and a belt that is too big. Obviously not too thrilled here and to top it off the phallosan rep is Mia now.
