Reviewing The Fleshlight: Is This Toy Worth It?

As good as it can feel to masturbate into your hand, it doesn’t compare to the “real thing.” Once you’ve had actual sex, the desire to feel a vagina is so much greater. But what do you do if there’s no one to share your intimacy with?

Steve Shubin, inventor of the Fleshlight, solved this problem and changed solo play for men forever.

It’s arguably the most popular type of pocket pussy on the market today. Its name comes from its fleshy interior and how it resembles a flashlight.

Since its introduction more than 20 years ago, Fleshlight has become even more versatile, with new products that respond all the more to a user’s sexual needs.

Lonely nights no longer feel so lonely when you have this toy on-hand.

Overview

There are two main parts of the Fleshlight. First, there’s its case. Made of plastic, this helps to keep the sleeve intact.

This sleeve is what feels like a real vagina. There are two caps, one to secure the toy for when not in use and another for adjusting the amount of suction used.

Fleshlight sleeves run the gamut in terms of feeling and look. The manufacturers know that not all vaginas are the same, nor do all guys have the same tastes.

Some are tighter than others, so you need to know what exactly your cock can best tolerate. We’d hate for you to be let down by an option that's too-tight.

Making Your Selection

With ten different types of Fleshlights to consider, your decision needs to be made thoughtfully.

1. Classics - This is the first kind of Fleshlight and is still a great one, especially if you’re into being vintage.

2. Girls - These Fleshlights have been made to replicate the pussies and asses of specific pornstars.

3. Fleshskins - A great idea made great, Fleshskins are like a Fleshlight that you wear like a glove, allowing for an enhanced masturbation experience.

4. Turbo - This product is a blowjob simulator that will really make you feel like you’re getting your cock sucked. True to its name, there’s a lot of speed to this device. If you need something to perk you up, the Turbo can definitely do the trick.

5. Quickshot - The Quickshot is a more compact device with dual ends for easy insertion. It can definitely feel a lot better than just using a lube-covered hand for masturbation.

6. Ice - These Fleshlights are transparent. With an Ice Fleshlight, you can get harder by seeing just how good your cock looks as it’s pounding away.

7. Flight - Traveling with a Fleshlight can be a hassle. That’s why there’s the Flight, which shrinks things down without sacrificing quality. Put it in your luggage and look forward to taking it out when you’re in your hotel room.

8. Go - The Go Fleshlight covers the same ground as the Flight. However, this one has an actual vaginal interior, which is something the Flight lacks.

9. Freaks - The Freaks line of sex toys was for people with a fetish for mythical creatures, such as vampires. They’re no longer on the market but maybe demand for their return will reach a fever pitch.

10. Sex in a Can - These Fleshlights were designed to look like a beer can. It’s certainly interesting and up someone’s alley. However, the selection of these has gone down a lot.

You might be someone who’s all about customization. Have no fear, as you can choose each of the features to create your perfect Fleshlight.

Fleshlight Sleeves

Nothing matters more than the sleeve on a Fleshlight. A solid case and attractive look won’t matter if the sleeve isn’t able to give you any pleasure.

However, a good sleeve can start to get tepid after a while. Buying individuals sleeves help you save money and try more things.

Be sure to check for deals that allow the purchase of multiple sleeves at a reduced cost. These things basically pay for themselves over time.

Think about what most turns you on and look for a sleeve that covers that. Don’t just make this a blind purchase, as you’ll know very soon if you chose the right sleeve.

Your size is another thing to consider. Some sleeves require a specific length minimum to be adequately penetrated.

My Personal Experience

I want to tell you about my personal experience with my first Fleshlight and how I figured out how to work it.

Packaging

I wasn’t too worried about having my purchase exposed, but it was nice to see the Fleshlight came in a confidential box. The only thing that surprised me was how much weight it had.

It was nice to have some lube included, but the best plan is to have some water-based lube available already. The real star of the show is the toy, of course.

I was immediately impressed just by holding the Fleshlight. It was so durable that I almost forgot it was made of plastic.

When I took the cap off and started poking at the flesh, I knew I would soon be in heaven. I’m glad I checked with my fingers first, because there’s a tube within the sleeve, and that would undoubtedly hurt if I wasn’t looking.

There’s a lot of elasticity to the sleeve. This is a huge benefit for when you’re fucking your Fleshlight and want to be able to move around.

The large size is also a plus, because it gives you a feeling of size that helps you better control your movements and have a more pleasurable experience.

A lot of thought has clearly been put into making this toy the great product it is. You’ll get more than your money’s worth with this device.

Preparing To Use

How To Use

Fleshlights can be used in many ways, even if the goal is always the same. A standard way to start is by holding it like you do your penis when masturbating.

This can get a little tiresome, so you might decide to go for putting it between your mattress and box spring.

My Fleshlight was able to solve the biggest problem of masturbation: knowing that I wasn’t having actual sex. This wasn’t a person, but it felt close enough for my penis not to be able to tell the difference.

The first time I blew a load in my Fleshlight, I was exhaling in absolute relief. I’d taken myself out of a slump, and I knew things would never be the same again.

How To Clean

How To Renew

Your Fleshlight’s sleeve can start to wear out and lose its gloss. You don’t need to pitch it when this happens.

Get some of the "Renewing Powder" to bring back its luster. For a DIY home solution, head to your cabinet and apply some corn starch. 

Once this happens, your toy can feel as great as ever.
