10 Best Alternatives to Fleshlight in 2024 [With VIDEO Reviews]

Fleshlights are expensive and not everyone can afford one. To fill this market void, manufacturers have launched alternatives designed to mimic the real thing while also trying to keep the price as low as possible. Sadly, this has caused the market to be flooded with low-quality products that sometimes can be outright dangerous to your sexual health.

To help you select the safest product, we tested the most popular models for sale. After the dust settled, our testers ranked Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu as the best Fleshlight alternative. The testers especially loved the dual-layer construction, with a soft, skin-like outer layer and a firmer interior lining for a natural feel. The realism was further enhanced by the TPE material and the human-like vagina orifice. Keep reading to learn more about our test winner and the other models.

Why You Should Trust Us

At the center of our testing operation is our founder Tim Larson. Since My Sex Toy Guide’s inception in 2016, he has tested over a hundred products and almost all Fleshlight models, making him one of the world’s foremost authorities on the topic.

In addition to his own vast expertise, he has a team of trusted testers and sexologists to help analyze the test data. For this article, the test team consisted of Tim himself and Shane Davis. With all this expertise, we firmly believe the products below are this year’s highest-rated!

How We Picked The Products

I handpicked 24 cheaper Fleshlight alternatives for this article, emphasizing realistic detailing and affordability. Some models we removed from this year’s list included the Fleshskins Blue Ice alternative super head honcho and Kiiroo Titan. Then, the experts at My Sex Toy Guide came on board, defining a list of test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

• A great product must be made with the user’s experience in mind so we prioritized easy-to-use models and the most stimulations. Everything from the sleeve texture to the controls contributed to these two factors.
• Settings. The number of vibration settings was essential so we firmly believe pocket pussies with the most settings are preferred. Besides offering a nice range of combinations to explore, they’re ideal for most people – beginners and experienced.
• Away from the traditional vibration settings, we also paid attention to other forms of pleasure. For instance, Kiiroo Keon’s stroking action was a great feature for people looking for a hands-free experience. Adding these unique masturbators to the list provided a variety to meet the ever-changing consumer needs.
• Besides having multiple forms of stimulation, we paid attention to Fleshlight alternatives like the Tenga Flip Zero EV, which are erectile dysfunction-friendly. I also campaigned for including Kiiroo Keon because of the flexibility of using multiple strokers with the Fleshlight mount.
• As a rule of thumb, the design, build quality, and materials used for the sex toys we reviewed had to be spectacular. Everything from body safety to ease of use and top-notch pleasure had to be there, especially for the top picks.
• We favored models with rechargeable batteries. In addition, we ensured our review samples had a positive battery life – at least an hour of rumbles on a full charge.
• Extra Bells & Whistles. Some of the standout features we looked into include mobile app control and VR compatibility.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Stimulations (25%) and Realism (25%). After that comes Design (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Material (10%).

After a 35-day self-testing exercise, the team returned with the findings. I called upon fellow sex experts to help with the analysis. We used the results and research data on customer reviews and accounts from major vendors and sex toy forums. And it’s from more than 14 hours of deliberation that we believe these are the best alternatives to a Fleshlight.

1. Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we like Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu:

Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu is the best Fleshlight alternative. Everything from the anatomically correct vagina orifice to the dual-layer construction with a firmer inner lining and softer, skin-like outer layer gives it a super-realistic look (image below), in my opinion, even better than a Fleshlight.

The tester appreciated that the delicate internal layer had a unique warming effect. It wraps the man meat warmly so it feels like a human vagina. Especially for Chinese nude model Zhang Xiao Yu fans, the masturbator will be an exciting addition to anyone’s sex toy collection.

Something else we noted during the review was the close-ended sleeve design. The test team thought it helped trap air during stroking, providing suction pressure that translated to more pleasurable sensations.

My colleagues also loved that Zhang didn’t come with a case. The no-case design makes it easy to regulate the intensity with your grip, and a quick squeeze or twist replicates realistic vagina-clenching movements, further amplifying the sensations. Great design!

Minor issues we found during testing:

The only downside was the comparatively tedious cleaning process for the close-ended sleeve. Because it’s made from porous TPE, cleaning and overall maintenance can be time-consuming. In addition, the no-case design complicated handling, especially mid-session when you have lube on your palms.

Why Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu is our test winner:

Of the dozens of models we tested, Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu scored highest in the most critical areas, especially realism and ease of use. Let’s have a closer look at the test data to better understand our motivation to position it at the top:

• Realism: The TPE-made pocket pussy feels more realistic than other Fleshlight competitors, and with a natural vagina orifice, it looks as realistic as it feels.
• Design: It has a classic Onahole design: single entry and no exit hole for air pressure release, creating a highly stimulating vacuum effect. Our tester described it like this: “It feels fantastic when thrusting hard, and with the textured stimulation structure at the back of the canal, it felt like I was hitting the cervix.”
• Stimulations: The close-ended sleeve design added suction pressure to the experience, and the resulting stimulation was intense.
• Sound Level: Zhang received a 5/5 score for noise. Your roommates will never know what naughty business you are up to.
• Accessories: You can buy a myriad of accessories to enhance your masturbation experience, like sleeve warmers, dry sticks, and lubricants.

If you want to see what the Meiki ZXY Onahole looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: TPE
• Length: 6.7″
• Insertable Length: 5.5″
• Canal Diameter: Up to 3.1″

Pros:

• Impressive dual-layer construction feels super realistic.
• The tight, textured canal feels great.
• Close-ended sleeve enhances intense targeted stimulation from the induced suction pressure.
• The sleeve-only design allows you to regulate the intensity with your grip.
• Compact and travel-friendly pocket pussy.
• The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material has a squishy consistency that mimics a real vagina.

Cons:

• The no-case design complicates handling – it becomes slippery.
• Cleaning can be tedious.

2. Magic Eyes La Bocca Della Verita: Highest-Rated Oral Model!

Why we like Magic Eyes La Bocca:

If you’re an oral sex fanatic looking for a Fleshlight alternative, we recommend Magic Eyes La Bocca. The realistic mouth masturbator features natural-looking lips, a chin, and a nose to replicate the look and feel of a human mouth (left image below.)

The testers especially loved the great length the designers went to promote a realistic blowjob experience. Besides the visible teeth that enhance realism (middle image below), the pocket pussy has a series of throat ridges that mimic the feeling of deep throat action (right image below). It felt like I was poking my girl’s uvula!

Something that stood out was the dual-layer construction with a firm inner lining and soft, human-like material for the outer layer. It feels squishy on the hands and super realistic with a penis inside.

The sleeve is 5″ long, making it perfect for most people with an average or smaller penis. With a 1.5″ diameter, even those with a girthy penis will enjoy the experience.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the teeth seem to be infamous on the internet. They certainly do add a tingly experience, and I don’t have a problem with them, but the reviews on the internet pointed this out a lot.

Why Magic Eyes La Bocca is the best oral Fleshlight alternative:

La Bocca Della Verita is one of the top oral Fleshlight alternatives. It especially performed well in the following test criteria:

• Realism: It perfectly replicated the pushback feeling you get from the tongue during a real deepthroating. That detail made this Onahole stand above the rest.
• Stimulations: The tongue felt excellent on the underside of my penis, and the vacuum effect created a tight suction all around my penis – an all-around A+ experience.
• Ease of Use: One tester reported that it’s slightly floppy to hold, but that aside, the sleeve is effortless to use. Just lube up and insert your member!
• Design: La Bocca received some negative feedback because of the “slightly creepy” appearance with teeth, a nose but no eyes. But apart from that, the sleeve felt high quality.

If you want to see what La Bocca Della Verita looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: TPE
• Insertable Length: 5″
• Canal Diameter: 1.5″

Pros:

• A realistic alternative Fleshlight for oral sex fans.
• Intense blowjob feeling complete with deep-throating action.
• The close-ended design builds up the suction pressure.
• Dual-layered construction enhances realism degree.
• The squishy TPE material adds to the realism aspect.
• It’s an ideal choice for couples with threesome fantasies.

Cons:

• Some people find the included teeth uncomfortable.
• It can be wobbly.

3. THRUST Pro Mini Ella: Highest-Rated Vagina Model!

Why we like THRUST Pro Mini Ella:

THRUST Pro Mini Ella is the perfect option for vaginal penetration fans because it’s made from squishy TPE material, giving it a natural look and feel. With an anatomically-correct vagina orifice, it looks like the real thing (You can see how the opening looks in the image below).

THRUST Pro Mini Ella’s canal is heavily textured with crevices and folds, hugging the penis from all ends. It felt like a sweet, warm hug with unwarned tight bends and constrictions that often took me by surprise.

Something else we loved about Mini Ella was the no-case design. Like Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu, the sleeve-only look allowed me to squeeze and twist the pocket pussy, ultimately intensifying the experience.

The masturbator has a small hole at the base that accommodates a bullet vibrator (circled below). Although I didn’t expect the vibration to reverberate throughout the canal, I loved the resulting rumbles, especially around the head.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The only downside was the 5″ insertable length, which most people might find limiting. Also, cleaning TPE can be tedious.

Why THRUST Pro Mini Ella is our favorite vaginal Fleshlight alternative:

Everything from the textured canal to the realistic vagina look and bullet vibe pouch stood out from the other models. In addition, the TPE-made sleeve doesn’t come with a case, allowing you to regulate the intensity with your grip. Here’s the raw test data to better understand how we came to these conclusions:

• Stimulations: Let’s be honest. It’s not the most stimulating masturbator I have used, but it does the job. My main complaint is the lack of vacuum suction. But I could control the pressure by squeezing my fist, which I greatly appreciated.
• Realism: I loved the external labia, which looked very realistic. The stretchy TPE material also felt close to natural skin.
• Ease Of Use: It can’t be easier to use. Just lube up and insert. A special mention to the grooves on the outside, an excellent design choice since it makes gripping easier.

If you want to see what THRUST Pro Mini Ell looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: TPE
• Insertable Length: 5″
• Canal Diameter: 0.25″

Pros:

• Plush TPE material feels fantastic.
• The textured sleeve promotes intense stimulation.
• It’s relatively affordable – $14.99.
• Simplified handling from the ribbed exterior.
• You can use the bullet vibrator of your choice.

Cons:

• Cleaning can be tedious.
• Guys with long penises will find it limiting.

4. Ereshkigal Cherry: Highest-Rated Anal Model!

Why we like Ereshkigal Cherry:

Ereshkigal Cherry Onahip is the perfect anal Fleshlight alternative. The Onahip has sexy hips, a well-shaped ass, and distinctive pussy and ass orifices. I loved how soft and bouncy the TPE material felt, especially when I spanked the ass.

A standout feature was the varying size and texture between the vaginal and anal canals. Besides the looks, these canals felt unique, making the experience more organic and pleasurable. I especially noted a series of blocks and bumps in the anal orifice that pushed me back and forth with every thrust (You can see the texture in the box image below).

The Onahip weighs 13.4 lbs, giving it a lightweight yet elegant feel. Unlike other products on this list, it feels realistic on the hands, and with two textured canals to explore, Ereshkigal Cherry is perfect for most sex toy users.

Minor issues we found during testing:

My only concern was the $237.95 price tag, which is not affordable, especially for those new to self-pleasuring.

Why Ereshkigal Cherry is the best anal Fleshlight alternative:

So, if you’re in the market for an ass that won’t quit, this plush Onahip is more realistic than the others we tested. Ereshkigal Cherry has a textured anal canal with a human-like look to make the experience organic. In addition, it’s made from soft TPE material and has a vaginal canal for those who like both.

If you want to see what Ereshkigal Cherry looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: TPE
• Width: 1.8 inch
• Height: 7 inch
• Length: 10.6 inch
• Weight: 13.4 lbs
• Vagina Length: 5.5 inch
• Anus Length: 4.7 inch

Pros:

• Squishy, skin-like TPE material.
• It also has a textured vagina canal.
• There’s an exciting combination of different textures.
• Well-detailed to look like a woman’s behind.

Cons:

• It’s not affordable – $237.95.

5. Kiiroo Keon: Universal Launch Alternative!

Why we like Kiiroo Keon:

Kiiroo Keon is the most effective Universal Launch alternative. The testers especially loved the evident improvements from the discontinued Fleshlight Launch. The new model looks compact, rendering it a perfect travel buddy.

The sex mount + sleeve combo is made by the same brand, successfully eliminating potential compatibility issues. The sleeve locks in perfectly, rendering the setup process foolproof.

Besides the powerful motor, I was taken away by the Launch’s ergonomic design with side grooves to simplify handling. And even for people with small hands, the vibrator rests comfortably on the palms. And with the intelligent button positioning right below the thumb, regulating the stroke length and speed is easy.

The included stroker reminded me of the Stamina Training Unit. It has a network of bulbs that hug your penis from all sides, promoting even distribution of the stimulation. With a relatively smooth texture, Kiiroo Keon is beginner-friendly.

Ultimately, Kiiroo’s interactive technology sets the masturbator a step ahead of the competition. It connects to VR goggles, allowing you to explore 2D and 3D interactive content at the press of a button.

In addition, Keon is also compatible with the Feel Connect app, allowing people in long-distance relationships to enjoy an immersive experience. Among other benefits, the smartphone app lets you control your partner’s toy from miles away and connect the masturbator with your partner’s toy for real-time interactivity.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the mechanical Fleshlight is expensive, with the combo costing $279. In addition, the stroker is indiscreet and cumbersome for regular travelers.

Why Kiiroo Keon is the best Universal Launch Alternative:

Besides the stamina training-like texture ideal for most users, the interactive Keon has side grooves and well-positioned buttons to simplify handling, something other models don’t have. In addition, the teledildonics toy connects to the Feel Connect app for long-distance control. Plus, the smartphone app also allows you to explore interactive content and toy-to-toy integration.

If you want to see what Kiiroo Keon looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read my extensive Kiiroo Keon review in this article.

• Material: ABS, PC, Silicone, TPE
• Length: 7.9″
• Case Diameter: 3.3″

Pros:

• Powerful motor with a top speed of 230 strokes/minute.
• A better upgrade from the discontinued Fleshlight Launch.
• The mildly textured sleeve feels great.
• Kiiroo’s interactive technology opens your world to new possibilities.
• The Feel Connect app lets you explore 2D and 3D content, including VR porn.
• It’s ideal for people in a long-distance relationship.

Cons:

• Limited sleeve options.
• It’s pricey – $279.

Update: Seeing the positive response, we went out of our way to negotiate a special deal with Kiiroo for you! If you buy Keon using the Kiiroo link below, you get a 10% discount at checkout!

6. Tenga Flip Zero EV: Great For Vibrations!

Why we like Tenga Flip Zero EV:

What the team liked the most about Tenga Flip Zero was the flip-open design that significantly simplifies how you use it. This novel design also means people with erectile dysfunction can use it because you don’t need an erect penis.

Tenga Flip Zero EV also reminded us of the Lovense Calor because its collapsible walls allow you to regulate the intensity with your hand. We love these masturbators and couldn’t wait to squeeze and twist the walls. A quick squeeze adds vigor to the experience, significantly amplifying the sensations.

Something else that stood out was the dual vibrating core. We especially loved the placement at the tip and middle for an even distribution of the vibrations.

The Flip-open design also makes cleaning and drying straightforward. Just open the flaps after use and wash off the semen. Once clean, place it in a well-ventilated space, and it should dry off easily and quickly.

We thought the vibrations added to the already ‘chaotic’ texture. While it might not be the most intense masturbator I’ve used, the 5 vibration patterns felt absolutely amazing.

In addition, the pocket pussy has a single-button control pad, making it foolproof. While most people hate it because you can’t go back to a favorite pattern, I think it’s not a significant problem, especially for a masturbator with only five functions.

Minor issues we found during testing:

My only downside was the unfortunate 6″ insertable size and 0.5″ diameter, which locks out people with bigger penises. Also, the $249.99 price tag is pricey for most people.

Why Tenga Flip Zero EV is a good Fleshlight Vibro alternative:

Everything from the flip-open design to the squeezable walls and dual vibrating cores was much better than the other vibrating masturbators on this list. In addition, the Fleshlight vibe has an easy single-button interface so even novices should be able to use it. You can read my Fleshlight Vibro review here.

If you want to see what the Tenga Flip Zero EV looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: Silicone, ABS, (case) TPE (sleeve)
• Insertable Length: 6″
• Canal Diameter: 0.5″

Pros:

• Easy to use and clean flip-open design.
• The well-positioned built-in vibrators ensure even vibration distribution.
• Up to 5 vibration patterns to explore.
• You can regulate the patterns using squeezable walls.
• Foolproof single-button interface.
• The masturbator is easy to clean.

Cons:

• The more endowed guys will find it too narrow.
• It’s pricey – $249.99.

7. Tenga Eggs: Our Budget Pick!

Why we like Tenga Egg masturbator:

The Tenga Egg masturbator is a decent alternative for people on a budget because it costs only $9.99, a reasonable price for such a compact solution to your self-pleasuring needs.

Unlike regular full-size masturbators, the disposable masturbator seamlessly fits your travel plans. I love traveling with the masturbator because I can always pop one out when I get to my hotel room and bust a quick one.

Tenga Eggs are made with a stretchy TPE material that can expand up to 7.8″ in internal length. And with zigzag lines making a consistent wavy texture, it felt like Sandra’s lip was licking me at a robotic-type speed. Nice!

Something else that stood out was the smooth TPE consistency, allowing me to switch the intensity using my hand. I could easily squeeze or twist the masturbation egg in quick succession, adding a unique twist to the sensation.

Lastly, there are multiple Tenga Egg textures to pick from – Twister, Spider, Clicker, Stepper, and Silky.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the masturbation egg is small and disposable. And even with the stretchable material, covering your entire shaft is a task. In addition, it’s messy with the water-based lube, and handling becomes more challenging over time, especially with the lube.

Why the Tenga Eggs Wavy II masturbator is the cheapest Fleshlight alternative:

At only $9.99, the Tenga Eggs Wavy II masturbator is the cheapest option for people looking for a Fleshlight alternative. The stretchable material, wavy texture, and compact, travel-friendly design were other features that stood out.

If you want to see what the Tenga Eggs looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: TPE
• Insertable Length: Up to 7.8″
• Canal Diameter: 2.4″

Pros:

• A great Fleshlight alternative for those on a budget.
• Stretchy TPE material fits most sizes.
• The texture elevates solo pleasure.
• The egg-shaped case is gift-ready.
• The compact and discreet design renders it travel-friendly.

Cons:

• It’s a one-time use masturbator.

Other Good Alternatives

Doc Johnson Mood Exciter is great if you’re looking for a good Quickshot Vantage Alternative! The double-sided male stroker adds a new dimension of pleasure during solo play and foreplay. In addition, the see-through masturbator features different textures and tightness at each end, making the experience unique, just like the Vantage. You can read my review of Quickshot Vantage here.

Apollo Hydro Power is a decent Fleshlight Shower Mount alternative. Everything from the textured sleeve to the detachable suction cup stands out. We also liked that it has 30 vibration settings regulated with a 2-button control interface. You can read my review of the shower mount here.

Tracey Cox EDGE is perfect for the job if you want an affordable Stamina Training Unit alternative. Like the inspiration, the masturbator has a ribbed inner canal with mildly stimulating nubs and ridges to evenly distribute the pleasure. In addition, it has a suction hole at the end that allows for suction pressure regulation and an overall small size that fits into the palm perfectly. You can read my review of Fleshlight STU here.
