Besides the wonderful feeling of penetrating a Fleshlight, there are several other benefits. Let’s start by checking them out!
- Fleshlight has a product called the Stamina Training Unit (STU) that may help with Premature Ejaculation. In addition to helping control your ejaculation, it’s also delightful to use!
- Very easy to clean after a masturbation session. It takes just minutes to clean your sleeve. In addition, they are very discreet looking (look like a flashlight), and you can hide them quickly.
- Finally, a Fleshlight makes every masturbation session a pleasant experience. Even if you’re in a relationship, it’s not always possible to have time for sex due to a busy schedule. It’s always ready and available!

The Different Components
Today there are many different types of Fleshlights.
The most popular models have artificial vaginas, but there are also products with an anus or a mouth featuring many different materials.
Please note this chapter will discuss the original model, Classic Pink Lady (the original Fleshlight). Most other models consist of similar components but differ slightly in appearance. However, the basic concept is the same.
1. The Artificial Vagina (Sleeve)
As you can see in the image, the sleeve opening is made to look like a real-life vagina. Today there are both generic vagina products and products molded after real-life porn stars, and I’ll talk more about the latter in a bit.
The sleeve is straight and a good fit for a sensitive or big penis. However, we don’t recommend starting with this model unless you know you are extra sensitive.
2. The Outer Case
The outer case looks like a flashlight, making it very discreet. It’s built using hard, durable plastic to keep the sleeve securely in place. While it’s possible to use the sleeve without the case, it’s more challenging, and we recommend always using the case.
The case has a cap on each end. The larger cap should be used when you store it, preventing dust and other particles from entering the sleeve. The smaller cap is used to adjust the suction, which gives a more intense and realistic experience.
So What Types of Fleshlights Can I Buy?
Like with any other sex toy, there are numerous types of models on the market, all of which are designed to meet your specific needs. So, here are some of the common types of Fleshlights;
1. Vaginal/Oral/Anal
Probably the most common type, these models are designed to replicate the vagina, the mouth, or the anal opening.
For these models, two materials are used: one for the interior and the other for the exterior. The interior fabric is soft and human-like Superskin to give a warm and realistic touch. At the same time, the exterior is made of sturdy and grippy material to make handling easier.
Depending on the model, your Fleshlight may pack a series of contours and ridges. These design adjustments are meant to inspire a unique combination of intense sensations to heighten pleasure during masturbation. For the oral sex orifice, most models come with a realistic tongue and teeth for a more realistic experience.

2. Stamina Training Units (STU)
The Stamina Training Units (STUs) are a special breed designed to support orgasm delay training. These models are built to closely replicate the real sensation of intercourse with a realistically textured canal and ribbed walls. The training’s essence is to subject yourself to a series of different textures and ‘obstacles’ and learn how to swerve through them.
STUs have a series of different compartments, all of which vary in sensation. As you enter the sleeve, your penis is hugged by a smooth, pillow-like texture that feels like ‘little fingers’ tickling you intensely. As you thrust harder, your penis is subjected to various compartments that are uniquely textured to get you to the point of no return.
By focusing on your sensations, you can learn when you’re about to ejaculate and how to control them.
To control it, stop thrusting once you’re close to the edge and allow the feeling to die before you start thrusting again. You can repeat the routine several times before you decide to let go.
Pro Tip: The first few times will not be as successful! Don’t worry, though- that’s the point of training. Right? Repeat the routine a few times a week, and it won’t take long until you see the results.
3. Fleshlight Girls
Fleshlight Girls are products that are made to replicate the vaginas of some famous porn stars. An incredible idea that seeks to treat you to a realistic experience with a replica of your favorite porn star’s vagina or ass. All sleeves are designed to meet your specific needs and ensure you feel like you’re drilling the porn star.
Like with women, the interior lining patterns vary from one star to the other, and you can always go with the one that appeals to you the most. Some popular Fleshlight Girls include Stoya, Riley Reid (Read my review of the Riley Reid sleeve here), Abella Danger Danger, Eva Lovia Sugar, Nicole Aniston, Lena Paul, and Alexis Texas, among others.

4. Fleshjacks (Gay)
Fleshjacks are very similar to Fleshlights; the only difference is the target market. Unlike the latter, Fleshjacks are designed to meet the needs of gay men who fancy some tight ass. The sleeve is made of a soft, realistic material that looks and feels like the real thing.
Please read my review of the Fleshjack sleeves here.
5. Portable/Travel
Portable Fleshlights are much more common than you think. And especially for regular travelers, you must have a portable model.
Failure to get a portable product means you’ll either have to carry an extra bag, which can be inconvenient, or worse, have to leave your best friend at home while traveling. Whatever the case, you can avoid all these mishaps if you buy a portable model, for example, the popular Flight models.
A good Fleshlight for traveling is Quickshot Vantage. The Flight is slightly larger but still a great option.
6. Clear/Transparent/Ice
Also denoted as ‘ice,’ clear Fleshlights have everything your regular model has besides a transparent case and sleeve. These models give you a clear view of everything as it’s happening, which is great if that’s something that excites you. For example, I like using my Ice Lady Fleshlight, especially when masturbating alone, because it gives me an all-access experience.
In most models, the case is transparent and the sleeve semi-transparent. Like Fleshlight Ice Lady, clear Fleshlights are sleek and visually appealing, making them both functional and alluring – a lovely combination.
In addition, you can find many brown Fleshlight products molded from famous pornstars.
7. Vibrating Models
Vibrating Fleshlights come with bullet vibrators, which in most cases are removable to add a little buzz to the experience. The sleeve is specially designed to include purpose-built pockets that hold the vibes in place. In addition, most models pack between one and three bullet vibrators, which you can use at once, two at a time, or one at a time.
The vibrations from the vibes are spread through your sleeve, and you’ll feel each ridge and crest in the inner texture nibbling with excitement. Additionally, you can regulate the stimulations by choosing the number of vibes to slide into your toy.
8. Interactive Models
Probably the closest you’ll ever get to the real thing, Interactive Fleshlights allow you to sync them with a compatible sex toy, so your partner can control the stimulations. You can also sync with 2D, 3D, and VR content for mind-blowing visual stimulation. The invisible teledildonic technology makes Interactive sex toys a force to reckon with.
When it comes to out-of-this-world masturbation experiences, these bad boys are second to none.
Whether you fancy live webcam sessions or immersive VR experiences, there is something for everyone. These Interactive vibes open your world to new possibilities and are a perfect addition, especially if you’re in a long-distance relationship.
9. Aliens and Fantasy Models
Alien Fleshlight and Fantasy masturbators take you where manhood has not gone before with impressive features like a double clitoris, among others. The inner sleeve harmonizes three different textures to give you a wildly unique texture for an out-of-this-world experience. There are numerous colors for the sleeves and cases, and you can always choose the one that brings the Alien ‘thirst’ in you.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
Like with any other sex toy, you’ll need to consider several factors when buying a Fleshlight. These factors include;
1. The Size Of Your Penis
Your Penis size will determine which model is ideal for you, and while most guys are average, some are well-equipped. So, what does my penis size do with choosing a Fleshlight? You must be asking. Well, here’s why!
Fleshlights are designed to feature a series of compartments that vary in texture. The canal is lined with different design tweaks, including bumps, ‘tickling fingers,’ and pillow-like velvet rumps to treat your penis to myriad sensations.
For this reason, if you have a 6” penis and end up with a 10” Fleshlight, you’ll miss a few inches at the tip, which might be the compartments you need to ‘blow up’ during masturbation. Not ideal!
Pro Tip: So, when picking a Fleshlight size, ensure most of the textured portion falls to the point where you’ll feel it during play.
2. Your Experience Level
Your masturbation experience level will undoubtedly determine which product is ideal and which one is not. For starters, I highly recommend you go for a basic model with few design tweaks, allowing you to swerve through the new experience and build up for a more complicated toy in the future.
On the other hand, if you’re a legend of the game, I recommend that you up the ante with a model that presents some challenges for you. Whether the inclusion of different numbs in the interior or a vibe in the Fleshlight, challenge your limits and enjoy the very best of sensations.
3. The Material
As with other sex toys, ensure the material is body-safe. Most brands have patented materials that they use to design their masturbators.
For instance, the company uses the super-realistic SuperSkin, which looks and feels just like human skin. The SuperSkin material combines different body-safe materials to create a natural and durable material for your sex toy.
Important: Ensure you’re buying a Fleshlight from a legit seller so you don’t end up with a fake sex toy. The material should be hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, durable, and easy to maintain. Fortunately, this is not a problem, though. The company maintains high standards in the production of sex toys and only uses the best materials.
4. The Fleshlight Prices
How much does a Fleshlight cost? The price varies for different models, primarily because of the difference in features and capabilities. For instance, a Fleshlight Girl like Riley Reid will undoubtedly be more expensive than a regular model. In the same way, you’ll have to pay more for a vibrating masturbator.
And hey! You don’t have to go into debt for a male masturbator. And I recommend you go for what you can afford as long as it’s the best option in the price range. There are many regular models that you can get for as little as $34 and enjoy mind-blowing sensations. However, if your budget allows you, you can get an $85 plus model with extra bells and whistles like vibrations.
In addition, your experience level will dictate your scope when buying a product. If you’re a novice in this field, I recommend you go for an affordable basic model because you’re not sure if you’ll like the experience. Nonetheless, if you’re an experienced player and have the resources, go for Dracula. Trust me! It won’t hurt.
5. Discreetness
While most Fleshlights are discreet and portable, some models can be tricky to hide from the prying eyes of your friends. And discreetness is a crucial factor, especially when you’re a regular traveler, or worse still, live with a friend or family member you don’t want to know about your Fleshlight relationship.
If you fall into either of these two situations, I recommend you pick discreet Fleshlights to save you the hassle.
6. The Level of Sensitivity
The degree of sensitivity you settle for depends on your experience level. For starters, there are the classic, smooth canals with a tiny proportion of rumps and tickling texture suitable for beginners. However, as you move up the ladder, you can get a model with numerous compartments with different texture variations to heighten the sensitivity.
Pro Tip: The company ups the ante with custom Fleshlights that look like some of your favorite porn stars. You can even warm them with a sex toy warmer or warm water before the action to increase the realism. So, if you want the most realistic sensation possible, grab one of the limited edition Fleshlight Girls like Alexis Texas.
Quick Fleshlight VS Pocket Pussy Comparison
Fleshlights and pocket pussies bear similarities in that they both have a textured canal to aid with masturbation. They are also designed similarly with a grippy exterior for comfortable handling and a soft interior to heighten the pleasure.
However, the possibilities vary significantly between the two. And while a pocket pussy will do the job, a standard Fleshlight goes over and beyond to deliver earth-shattering sensations.
You can read our detailed Fleshlight vs. pocket pussy guide here.
So, Fleshlight takes the day because of the insane degree of realism and the endless possibilities you can enjoy with one.
