7 Best Automatic Fleshlights & Good Alternatives in 2024

I’ve used male sex toys for a good chunk of my adult life, and sitting back and having a masturbator buzz its way around after a long day is a top-tier experience. But to qualify as outstanding, an automatic Fleshlight needs to be powerful enough to get you off, have a stable hands-free functionality so you don’t need to use your hands much, and be affordable so you don’t spend an arm and a leg.

So which one should I buy? Well, after testing over 30 products for the last 10 years, we firmly believe the best automatic Fleshlight is the Fleshlight Universal Launch. This upgraded model fits many models and has a robust design, a powerful motor, and a nifty smartphone mount.

Why Should You Trust Us

Tim Larson is one of the world’s leading Fleshlight experts, having reviewed most of the brand’s products since 2016. For this article, he did more than 40 hours of research, including scouring forums, reading customer reviews, and interviewing experts and friends. In addition, he personally tested all products using our rigorous review process.

Based on his many years of experience as an objective and honest sex toy tester, he’s confident that the products below are this year’s best of the best!

How We Picked The Products

We started the review by defining several test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These were the following:

• Realism is always high on our list so we prioritized authenticity when we picked our test samples. From the orifice to the sleeve design, we paid attention to the models that simulated the real thing – intercourse or oral sex.
• Flexibility. We also looked into automatic Fleshlights and good alternatives with a flexible design. For instance, the Handy and other automatic strokers you can use with multiple sleeves were given priority. In addition, we looked into the mechanisms employed to simplify how you change the sleeves.
• Throughout the review process, I emphasized the importance of build quality. Especially for the masturbator alternatives, we ensured they matched the Fleshlight brand’s quality standards.
• The best models have outstanding designs. The goal was to pick a model that embodied ease of use and high-quality sensations.
• The stroker’s size affects handling, while the sleeve’s usable length affects who can and cannot use it. So, we measured all the size aspects so you can have a basis for comparison for better decision-making.
• We also prioritized products with an easy-to-use interface. Other features like accessible suction control were an added advantage.
• Settings. As always, I advocated for the devices with the most settings. The more, the better.
• How long the masturbator’s battery takes to charge is essential. And especially when you compare it with the time it takes to run out, we paid attention to ensure the best picks had a positive charging-to-output ratio.
• Special Features. The most common bells and whistles we focused on include mobile app control, unique technologies like cruise control, voice control, interactive VR content, and independent dual motors.

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 Design (25%). After that comes Build Quality (10%), Ease of Use (10%), and Special Features (5%).

After 32 days of intense work, the team returned with the findings for me to analyze and categorize. I enlisted my colleagues, who helped me understand the different technologies used in some of these devices. Together, we believe these are this year’s best automatic Fleshlights!

To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criteria.

1. Universal Launch: Our Overall Test Winner!

The Fleshlight Universal Launch performed best in the most critical test categories and is hence our overall test winner. For starters, it’s an upgrade of the discontinued Fleshlight Launch, boasting a new shape, a more powerful motor, and a user-friendly design. In addition, the new Launch has a longer battery life and is compatible with more Fleshlights. It even has a ratcheting buckle to keep the sleeve in place.

Something else I noted with the Launch was the universal smartphone mount. The simple design hack frees your hands so you can watch your favorite erotic content without giving up control. I thought the mount was solid and held the phone securely even when you switched between different positions.

As you can see in the image below, the Universal Launch features two massive handlebars that greatly simplify handling. I especially liked the ribbed feel and perfect button positioning right where the thumb rests.

The handlebar and control button of the Keon. This side controls the speed while the other handlebar controls the strokes.

Furthermore, The Launch comes with the Turbo Thrust Fleshlight, and the transparent design is especially suitable for visual kinksters. In addition, it has a heavily textured canal and a unique three-point entrance orifice.

The canal has three chambers. The first chamber is lined with gentle lips to simulate the feeling of human lips, while the second features diamond-shaped bumps that feel like a tongue. Lastly, the final section has interlocking ridges and ribs that feel like a deep throat, completing the most realistic blowjob experience I’ve had so far.

The three-point entrance lets you try different penetration angles using several cut-out areas. I also thought the serrated orifice made the instroke and outstroke feel equally stimulating.

Overall, the Universal Launch is, without a doubt, the best model on this list. Some people will hold back because of the lack of interactive features, but the new design and the included smartphone mount make up for the minor flaws. In addition, it’s more powerful, compatible, and user-friendly than the original Launch.

Note: The Universal Launch has an active launch mode that allows you to continue using it even when it runs out of power – simply plug and play.

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

• Material: ABS, PU Coating, SuperSkin
• Insertable Length: 8.5″
• Speed: 250 strokes/minute

Pros:

• A versatile and powerful Launch.
• It’s compatible with most of the best Fleshlight sleeves.
• The universal smartphone mount simplifies handling.
• A transparent sleeve is ideal for visual kinksters.
• The multi-entry orifice spurs creativity.
• Easy-to-use design.

Cons:

• The Launch doesn’t have interactive features.
• It’s massive and indiscreet.

2. Quickshot Launch: Best For Quickshot Models

The Fleshlight Quickshot Launch is the best automatic Quickshot stroker. The design is similar to the Universal Launch, especially with the handlebars and universal smartphone mount. In addition, both Launches share a 250 strokes/minute top speed.

What I liked the most during my interview was how easy it was to control the Quickshot Launch. It has two massive handlebars, well ribbed to enhance your grip. The touch-sensitive buttons are positioned appropriately under the thumb, so you don’t have to sweat out when regulating the stroke speed and length.

I thought the overall build quality was outstanding, with the sturdy ABS plastic material feeling and looking posh.

Something else I picked up during my review was how essential the universal smartphone mount was. It makes watching your favorite erotic content easy while still using your hands to position the Launch where you need it. And the best part about it is the mount is adjustable to accommodate different phones.

The Qyickshot Launch is compatible with numerous standard Quickshots, so you don’t have to worry about that. And like the Universal Launch, it has an active launch mode that allows you to plug and play whenever it runs out of juice.

So, if you’re looking for the best option for your Quickshot sleeve, here’s one. The powerful Launch is well-made and easy to control with touch-sensitive buttons. In addition, it has a universal smartphone mount so you can easily watch your erotic videos.

Note: I’m unsure what improvements they have lined up for us, but Fleshlight may plan for a Quickshot Launch 2 release soon.

• Material: ABS, PU Coating
• Total Length: 14″
• Speed: 250 strokes/minute”

Pros:

• A well-made and easy-to-use Launch.
• The smartphone mount allows you to watch porn hands-free.
• It churns up to 250 strokes in a minute.
• Ergonomic design and is comfortable against the skin.
• Handlebars simplify stroke speed and length regulation.
• The active launch mode allows play to continue even when power runs out.

Cons:

• No sleeve is included in the price.
• Quickshots are open-ended, so ‘spillage accidents’ do occur.

3. Kiiroo Keon: Our Runner Up!

Kiiroo Keon is the best non-Fleshlight model we found during our review. Notably, both the masturbator and stroker are made by Kiiroo, meaning they’re meant for each other. The interlocking mechanism is top-tier, unlike most sex toys made from brand collaborations.

It might not have the standard handlebars, but the included grooves on the side do simplify handling. The testers thought the designer captured the grip decently, an essential addition, especially for people with small hands. The masturbator’s intuitive buttons were also well-positioned, making it easy to regulate the stroke speed and length.

The 7.9″ Feel stroker’s texture reminds me of the Stamina Training Unit with the gentle bulbs. It might not be the most intense sleeve out there, but the maintained pattern of the bulbs hugs the penis from all fronts for a more fulfilling ending. The non-intimidating canal is ideal for people looking to enhance sexual endurance.

The Feel stroker sleeve and case. It has a vagina orifice which may put some people off. As of today, there are no non-descript options.

Kiiroo’s interactive technology makes Keon appealing to many pleasure seekers. It has a dedicated mobile app to add to the possibilities and simplify control. The Feel Connect app also allows those in long-distance relationships to control each other’s sensations with the touch of a screen.

In addition, you can enjoy 2D and 3D content. All you need is mobile VR goggles and a VR site like Kiiroo.live or FeelXVideos. Bam!

My personal favorite was the two-way interactivity. You can connect Kiiroo Keon to other Bluetooth-enabled sex toys like OhMiBod Fuse for real-time interactivity regardless of distance. Either partner can take the driver’s seat or have a two-way interactive session where the sex toys simulate sex.

Overall, The Keon is one of the most suitable mechanical Fleshlight alternatives. It’s well-made, robust, easy to use, and arguably one of the most versatile models. The STU-Esque stroker is ideal for endurance training. In addition, it comes with a dedicated mobile app, sex toy interactivity, and VR technology for an immersive experience.

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

• Material: ABS, PC, Silicone, TPE (sleeve)
• Length: 7.9″ (Feel Stroker)
• Case Diameter: 3.3″ (Feel Stroker)

Pros:

• It’s a powerful and versatile male sex toy.
• The Helix power texture is ideal for stamina training.
• Compact and travel-friendly design.
• Impressive sex toy interactive tech.
• Easy-to-use smartphone app.
• The device is VR-ready.

Cons:

• It has limited sleeve options.

4. AutoBlow AI+: Best For Blowjobs!

Autoblow AI+ is the best model for realistic oral sex simulations. The well-made masturbator features a powerful, all-metal motor to churn out ten different masturbation settings. The assorted experiences include intense and mild strokes to ensure there’s something for everyone. The testers especially loved the two edging features that allow you to withhold ejaculation, building up to intense orgasms.

Something else I noted during my review was the precision at which the new penis gripper moved. Unlike conventional male masturbators, a great degree of flexibility and accuracy makes the blowjob experience more realistic. And the best part is you can customize the gripper using a screwdriver for a unique experience.

I also loved that I could choose between multiple sleeves. The masturbator has a realistic mouth orifice, with a vagina and ass model available for customization.

The blowjob simulator’s smartphone app was another highlight of my review. Besides the punchy buttons, you can regulate the blowjob settings with a mobile app. The dedicated app lets you use voice commands and other customized settings to enhance your self-pleasuring experience. It also allows long-distance lovers to regulate each other’s machines regardless of the distance.

My only concern was the pricing point. The male masturbator will cost you $239.95 – $299.95, which is steep for most users.

Overall, Autoblow AI+ is the best model for oral sex fans. The authentic masturbator features a flexible penis gripper, AI technology, and sensors, which work in liaison to replicate real blowjobs. And with a powerful motor and dedicated mobile app, the blowjob experience is unique.

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

You can read our Autoblow AI+ review here.

• Material: Silicone & ABS Plastic
• Inner Length: 7.8″
• Sleeve Diameter: 0.3″ – 2″

Pros:

• A powerful, automatic deep-throat simulator.
• Outstanding AI tech and motion sensing.
• An adjustable gripper enhances the experience.
• 10 preset blowjob patterns.
• Intuitive control interface and mobile app.

Cons:

• It’s pricey – $239.95 – $299.95.

5. Lovense Max 2: Best Value!

Lovense Max 2 is the best choice for pleasure seekers on a budget. The automatic masturbator is an upgrade of the original Max, with notable improvements, including advanced motion sensors. The new Lovense also boasts 360-degree contractions, longer battery life, and improved sleeve texture.

I especially liked that it combines vibrations and contractions, resulting in one of the most intense sensations I’ve experienced. It feels like someone’s giving you a blowjob while still throwing in a handjob in the mix. Combining an extended and powerful vibrator, advanced sensors, and a multi-sensation sleeve seems to have cracked the puzzle.

The ribbed case makes handling easier, even with a bit of lube on your hands. And with the two raised LED buttons, regulating your experience is straightforward.

The orifice of Max 2. It’s nondescript, making it a suitable option for those who don’t want a vagina opening.

I loved the sex toy’s interactivity aspect during my review. You can use a dedicated mobile app to control the rumbles or hand your partner the control, regardless of the distance.

The Max 2 connects to compatible sex toys like Nora so long-distance partners can share controls or enjoy accurate sex simulation via two-way interactivity.

Other notables included the adjustable air vent that allows you to regulate suction pressure to your liking. I also noted a quick-release valve for when you want to release the tension at once.

So, if you’re looking for a cheap automatic Fleshlight, Lovense Max 2 fits the bill. Everything from the compact design to the multi-sensation sleeve, extended vibrator, and unique contractions stand out. The interactive sex toy also has a smartphone app, simplifying close-range and long-distance control.

If you want to see what max 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: ABS, TPE
• Length: 9.5″
• Case Diameter: 3.33″

Pros:

• Budget-friendly masturbator.
• Combined vibrations and contractions make for incredible orgasms.
• Compact and travel-friendly.
• A ribbed case simplifies handling.
• The smartphone app allows for new dimensions of pleasure.
• The adjustable vent regulates suction pressure.

Cons:

• It gets loud, especially in high settings.
• The masturbator isn’t waterproof.

6. Lelo F1s V2: Most High-Tech!

Lelo F1s V2 is the most high-tech Fleshlight alternative I’ve reviewed. The new model boasts many improvements, including more power, a more flexible sleeve, and multiple vibration modes.

The dual-motor design was outstanding. One motor churns out standard vibrations while the other one powers sensonic waves. The gentle pulsations especially permeate the penile tissues for a more intense orgasm. And with traditional vibrations to add to the mix, the masturbator felt incredible.

Unlike most sex toys, Lelo F1s V2 comes with a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) that allows you to write your code and test the masturbator’s limits. I might not be a computer nerd, but I’m sure people with coding knowledge will appreciate the feature. It’s like a customization feature, but the user has more control of the experience.

The top of Lelo F1s with the controls and charging port. The buttons are easy to reach during use, plus you have the Smartphone app.

The silicone-made sleeve felt incredible. I especially liked the grooves and internal curves because they hugged the penis tightly so that the sonic waves could permeate even deeper.

Another standout feature during my review was the cruise control, which ensures both motors are in full gear even when you go harder. I thought the feature was critical, mainly because most masturbators tend to lose power when you’re about to finish.

Lelo F1s V2 has a set of intuitive buttons at the bottom to simplify handling. And for the tech-savvies, a dedicated mobile app opens your world to long-distance control, VR content, and more settings.

My only concern is the 4.3″ insertable length since it’s too small for most penis owners.

So, if you’re looking for a high-tech Fleshlight option, here’s the best. Besides the dual-motor design that ensures you enjoy standard vibrations and pulsations, the Lelo F1s V2 boasts exceptional customization options, cruise control, VR compatibility, and long-distance control.

If you want to see what F1s V2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

• Material: Silicone, ABS, Aluminum Alloy
• Insertable Length: 4.3″
• Internal Girth: 5.07″ – 5.9″

Pros:

• A high-tech and highly customizable male sex toy.
• The dual-motor design combines traditional vibrations and gentle pulsation action.
• The flexible sleeve has 10 sensors to enhance feedback collection and customization.
• Cruise control technology keeps the motors working even when under pressure.
• The handy mobile app simplifies control.
• Lelo F1s V2 is VR-ready.

Cons:

• The 4.3″ insertable length is small.
• It’s pricey.

7. The Handy: For the Voyeur!

The Handy is the perfect masturbator for people who enjoy watching their penis (or their partner’s) during masturbation. Sandra and I are proud voyeurs, and getting the Handy was a no-brainer.

The standout feature during my review was the Velcro strap by the masturbator’s side. This nifty feature holds the transparent sleeve in place while ensuring you have an undistracted view of the action. I also thought the ratch made it easy to buckle and unbuckle different sleeves – there are up to four differently textured sleeves to choose from.

Another notable feature was the powerful motor boasting up to 600 strokes in a minute.

The content of the Handy box. As you can see, it comes with pretty much everything you need.

VR fans will be happy because it’s compatible with numerous sites, including SexLikeReal and The Jerk Off Games, making it easy to choose from a massive pool of erotic content. It even has a local media player that allows you to play all your favorite erotic content, provided you have the corresponding video sync script.

It has an intuitive control pad to simplify handling. In addition, a dedicated mobile app allows you to regulate your partner’s Handy from miles away or across the room.

The masturbator also has a compact design that’s travel-friendly.

Unfortunately, the Handy stroker lacks vibration capabilities like most models on this list. I don’t mind the stroking action, but some people might find it inadequate, especially if they’re used to both.

Overall, the Handy is ideal for voyeurism fans. Everything from the powerful motor to the transparent sleeve, intuitive control, mobile control, and VR tech stands out. In addition, there are four sleeve options, and the Velcro strap makes it easy to buckle them.

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

• Material: Silicone, ABS, TPE
• Insertable Length: 4.5″
• Canal Diameter: 2.75″
• Stroke Length: 0″- 4.3″
• Speed (max): 600 strokes/minute

Pros:

• The transparent sleeve is ideal for voyeurs.
• Compact and sturdy design.
• You can use the Velcro strap with different sleeves.
• Intuitive buttons simplify control.
• It comes with a dedicated mobile app.
• The Handy is VR-ready.

Cons:

• A rechargeable battery would have been better.

What Is an Automatic Fleshlight?

An automatic Fleshlight is a male sex toy that simulates hands-free stroking or massaging action. And while you still have to hold the sex toy in place, the emphasis is on the automated pleasure mechanism, with the masturbator moving up and down or contracting and expanding on its own.

How To Use Automatic Fleshlights?

Using your automatic Fleshlight is much easier than using a traditional stroker because you don’t have to manually stroke it up and down. Make sure you charge it before play, have enough water-based Fleshlight lube within your arm’s reach, and wild out.

I also like taking a bath or putting on my favorite music, so the mood is right. In short, set the stage for success and enjoy the experience—everything from switching positions to cycling through the different speed settings.

Here’s an article on how to best use your Fleshlight.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips

Cleaning your machine Fleshlight after use is the most basic and essential maintenance tip. Use a mild soap or sex toy cleaner and warm water to flush the dirt out before rinsing with clean water. In addition, air dry the sleeve and case before storage – you can also use a lint-free towel to ensure it’s thoroughly dry.

Beyond cleaning, store your sex toy in a clean and dry place. And if you have several strokers, keep them separately, especially if they’re made from different materials to avoid degradation.
