I have owned my
fleshlights ? for over a year and I have been sublimely pleased each time I use mine.
Thank you ILF!!!
When I first looked into Fleshlight ? I was very hesitant and when I searched the web for reliable Information ? there was not much out there, I am glad they have the forum now.
I would like to put my thoughts out there for anyone who doesn’t have a Fleshlight ? yet and to share ideas and get feedback from advanced users. This is stuff I wish that I knew about…
facts ? -
Independence, I am just a guy like you and don’t work for ILF.
I would add that my reviews are done without porn ? (I find it distracting).
I am cut at 6 inches (I am also 6 inches wide at the widest).
I try to use each sleeve numerous times before I make my final opinion.
I try to feel all the parts of the sleeve using different strokes and speeds.
I typically use the sleeves inside the case but have also been known to pull them out and use them by themselves or hump them outside the case.
Why I Bought Fleshlight ? -
I have never had bigger orgasms by myself in my life !!
I am happily married with a great Sex ? life and I found myself VERY tired of my hand on "off days". I had seen Fleshlight ? about 2 years earlier but didn’t buy until after I had unsatisfactorily tried homemade versions.
Once I bought my first one I quickly accumulated most of the sleeves available finding some I like better than others.
BUYERS GUIDE -
There are many great reviews like Powerhouse and others, however I have found lists and facts ? about textures were not always what I experienced with a particular sleeve.
I don’t think you have to buy all the sleeves to find the perfect one and I hope the following advice helps someone find the right sleeves.
Try to keep in mind that you will be satisfied with any Fleshlight ? purchase and chances are you will favor your first sleeves.
1. Measure yourself hard (don’t cheat or you will be shorting yourself) and use the measurements on the pictures ? of the sleeves and think about how far you will go in the sleeve. (If you use the Lotus, will you penis head get fully into the node?).
If the pictures ? don’t have measurements, it is about 4-5 inches from the orifice entry to where the sleeve narrows in the middle. Also, consider that you may not go all the way into the sleeves on each stoke and you may want to subtract about 2 inches for those partial strokes.
2. Think about buying at least 2 sleeves - one SMOOTH and one INTENSE. It has been my experience that the "smoothness" or "intense stimulation" of the textures has made a big difference in why I like a sleeve or not (see my reviews).
One of the following 2 deals would be my suggestions to try out how smooth or how intense you like your textures. (Don’t count out the smooth textures, one of my all time favorites is the original sleeve).
~ Buy 2 get 1
This will let you try a smooth, in between, and intensely stimulating sleeve.
Think about the wonder wave ?, speed bump ?, & Vortex respectively.
You will need to buy a case or order ? the Stamina ? Training Unit deal that comes with a case for a little more.
~ Menage a Trois (my top recommendation of the 2 deals)
This excellent deal gives the most realistic ? orifices with cases included.
Think about Love Humps for a smooth texture and the Gauntlet (very INTENSE but NOT my favorite) or the Destroya (AWESOME and intense, one of my top favorites)
3. Think about Lub. I personally make my own inexpensive and clean
Lubricant ? that is a lot like saliva or semen but it takes some practice to learn to get it the way you like it, try it in small batches.
I use the following:
- Baking Soda (a water softer and inexpensive anti-fungal & anti-bacterial) or Grape seed extract
- Guar Gum (thickener that also makes it slippery but use very little or it gets gummy)
4. You have to keep your sleeves CLEAN and DRY.
-
Wash them out with warm water before and after
-
Dry it out thoroughly, I return the favor and give my sleeves a blow job using a hair dryer on cool. (Don’t overheat them as I have melted the end of one sleeve).
-
Corn Starch, Corn Starch, Corn Starch, Corn Starch… powder your sleeve with it every time to keep your sleeves from becoming a useless glob of goo. (Also, I would recommend organic corn starch; it seems to not clump as badly.)
- I make a 3:1 mixture of Corn Starch & Baking Soda to powder my sleeves after I wash and dry them. This prevents mold and bacteria while keeping my sleeves soft and smooth. It also helps to absorb small amounts of moisture.
- Powder the orifice and the outside as well as they can get start to stick to themselves too.
- By doing these things I have not had any problems with black stuff or odor, all my sleeves look like new.
- P.S. cumming into your sleeves will not make them dirty you just have to rinse them out.
5. Keep your packaging
When you get your sleeves, they are in a plastic package and there is a plastic insert inside the sleeve, I would recommend you keep these.
If you don’t have a case for each sleeve the plastic package will help you store them and along with the plastic insert they will help keep your sleeve in top form.
SLEEVE REVIEWS: a preface -
As a preface, I would like to say that any sleeve you buy will be satisfying and you may find you favor your first purchases. All Fleshlight ? products are 1st class.
I have purchased nearly all of the sleeves for the Fleshlight ? products and have several that I have liked more than others.
My experiences seem to be different than other reviewers and I have tried to get to the bottom of just why I liked some textures over others, here are my basic likes and dislikes, I hope these help by giving you things to consider:
- I like both "smooth" and "intensely stimulating" textures but I seem to use the smooth textures more as they often give me the biggest orgasms and the best ? build up.
- I like the intense textures because they bring me to orgasm faster and are very stimulating but can be overly stimulating and then numb me out.
- Of the intense textures, I have liked the multi-textured sleeves like the Destroya over the intense textures that are the same all the way through like the Sex ? Training Unit or Supper Ribbed. I have found the textures that are the same throughout tended to numb me out and were not as interesting unless I was very very horny.
- I have liked textures with special features (like the Lotus node or the Primal sections) when they are within the fist 4-6 inches where the head of my penis can reach them fully. (If you are much under 4-5 inches, you may want to consider Sex ?-in-a-Can as they seem like smaller versions…but I have not tried these.)
- I do like a medium to loose tightness in textures, the tighter the sleeve the less sensation I have throughout the session and the more Lubricant ? needed. If the sleeve is to loose you can adjust the suction to tighten it up but most sleeves are just about right.
- I have liked the Fleshlight ? Girls material better than the original material but here are the pros/cons of both:
Fleshlight ? Girls Material:
Pros
- ~ Soft and smooth much like a real Vagina ?, I can really push my penis head into the sides making it feel like real intercourse.
- ~ The orifices have become much more realistic ? and detailed and more exciting.
- ~ Use less Lubricant ? and seem to need less corn starch powder
- ~ Many of the most exciting textures are available in this material
Cons
- ~ Softer and therefore more prone to sticking together, so you have to give them extra care.
- ~ (I have been wondering if they are not as durable, but I think if you take care of them - they will take care of you)
Original material:
Pros
- ~ Feel more solid and provide a more solid "smooth" feeling
- ~ Special features in the texture are "firmer" and can be felt more easily
- ~ Don’t seem to have to power them as often, but I would still recommend it
Cons
- ~ The firmer texture seemed to numb me out more easily and became to intense
- ~ Need more Lubricant ? but when they have the right, amount all is good.
- ~ The orifices don’t look very real but sometimes I actually like this.
SLEEVE REVIEWS -
I will tell you about my experience and the pros/cons of each texture in my opinion.
I have listed these in alphabetical order ? and will comment about each why they are one of my favorites or not.
Keep in mind your experience may be totally different and I hope this is helpful (at least this helps me justify buying so many sleeves).
Destroya
~ Pros
Multi-texture really hits the head of my penis and is not to tight allowing a great orgasm. After the head of my penis penetrates beyond the fangs it gives a little break so I am able to pull back through for intense pleasure or blow a big one.
~ Cons
To damn perfect maybe or did they name it the Destroya from overuse?
~ Comments
Wow, I was not sure about this one and almost didn’t buy it because I did not like the Gauntlet, but the Destoya is one of my favorite intense textures and I really like the realistic ? look and feel of the orifice, as soon as I penetrated it I almost came. I do wish the fangs area was a bit lower so I could penetrate to the back of the tight area more easily.
Got-a-go, I think it is calling me …. cumming…
Forbidden
~ Pros
As the name implies, this texture anatomically mimics anal Sex ?. While I have never actually had anal Sex ? (not exactly sure I want to) this sleeve looks very much like what the anus and colon look like. The orifice and ribs at the start are very nice and the texture feels like your penis is being hugged.
~ Cons
Texture is very tight and while it feels like a hug, it may also feel like a strangle hold. Also, this texture (like the real thing) requires a lot of Lubricant ?.
~ Comments
I was very excited about this texture and was also disappointed. I think if you like tight sleeves this would be a wonder but I found it to tight and even with tons of lub it seemed to always want more. I have actually trashed this sleeve because I could not get used to how tight it was or that it made my urethra sore.
Gauntlet
~ Pros
Extra intense and tight multi-texture with a lot happening in one small place.
~ Cons
May be to tight and overly stimulating.
~ Comments
I really was excited about this sleeve and tried hard to like it but I found it way to tight and way to stimulating. Each time it numbed me out and twice I even began to loose my erection. I actually trashed this sleeve disappointedly.
Love Humps
~ Pros
Smoothly and gently kisses the head of you penis similar to the Lotus node but keeps constant contact with the head.
~ Cons
Makes some noise and may not be as stimulating or tight if you are looking for an intense texture.
~ Comments
I love Love Humps. This is one of my favorite smooth textures because it is gentle and very stimulating at the same time. I feels like multiple kisses to your penis.
Mini Lotus
~ Pros
Tighter than the Lotus texture and includes the node that stimulates the head of your penis. Does feel most similar to actual vaginal anatomy.
~ Cons
Not as stimulating as it sounds and may not be as tight as some may want it. Also this texture is more mild compared to other multi textured Fleshlight ? Girl sleeves.
~ Comments
I was not crazy about this sleeve at first but I have grown to like it and I use it frequently because it feels very smooth and natural. I do like the feel of the node as it teases you to orgasm and I like to simulate real Sex ? as if the girl was on top with this texture.
Original
~ Pros
Very smooth and wider than normal allowing you to adjust the suction and tightness
~ Cons
May be to smooth, not tight enough, and may need a bit more Lubricant ?. Also there may be a bit of a learning curve to get the suction right.
~ Comments
I still like and use this sleeve because it is simply smooth and I still have some of the best ? sessions and biggest orgasms using this sleeve. What it lacks in stimulation it makes up for by teasing you with ups and downs and then brings you into a smooth-ass landing. (It sounds like I am talking about the MILF Express.)
Primal (Upcumming
review ?)
~ Pros
~ Cons
~ Comments
speed bump ?
~ Pros
This well liked texture gives the full penis full stimulation with oscillating bumps similar to the STU ? but slightly more intense.
~ Cons
The unvaried texture may be to much sometimes and slower sessions may be more intense but use more lub. However to much lub can also minimize the sensation of the texture.
~ Comments
I was not as excited by this texture or the STU ? because the texture was overly stimulating to me and numbed me out after awhile extending my sessions and requiring more Lubricant ?. However I did enjoy simulating Sex ? by either pushing the orifice against the back of my penis rubbing the front of the penis against the texture more (like the girl on top), or by taking the sleeves out and humping them. I think this texture would be better in the Fleshlight ? Girls material (Nipple Alley) because the original material is not as soft and more ridged it intensifies the texture.
Stamina ? Training Unit (STU ?)
~ Pros
This texture gets good reviews similar to the speed bump ? Texture giving the full penis full stimulation with oscillating bumps smoother than the speed bump ? sleeve. And can be very intense.
~ Cons
The unvaried texture may be to much sometimes and slower sessions may be more intense but use more lub. However to much lub can also minimize the sensation of the texture.
~ Comments
I had high hopes for this texture but I found it overly stimulating, numbing, and required more lubrication ?. However I did enjoy simulating Sex ? by either pushing the orifice against the back of my penis which causes the front of the penis to rub against the texture more (like the girl on top), or by taking the sleeve out and humping it. Like the speed bump ?, I think this texture would be better in the Fleshlight ? Girls material (Nipple Alley) because the original material is not as soft and more ridged it intensifies the texture.
Super Ribbed ?
~ Pros
Very stimulating by keeping constant stimulation on the full penis and may feel similar to a hummer or to oral Sex ?. This looser sleeve allows you to adjust tightness with suction control.
~ Cons
May be overly stimulating and require more Lubricant ?.
~ Comments
Similar to the STU ? and speed bump ? textures, I found this texture over stimulating although I did think it felt like oral Sex ? but was a bit to rough of a texture. I was more than pleased with the Swallow texture in looking for an oral Sex ?-a-like.
Supper Tight (not as tight as the Ultra Tight ?)
~ Pros
Very tight to mimic anal Sex ? or for men that want a tighter experience.
~ Cons
May be too tight and is Lubricant ? hog.
~ Comments
Lets just say that I don’t like tight sleeves however others may like them. This sleeve was so damn tight I even used an entire batch of my Lubricant ? and I felt like someone put my dick in a vacuum sealed package.
Swallow
~ Pros
Holly Shit….oral Sex ? in the palm of your hand! And she swallows (or spits)!
~ Cons
You may become obsessive?? I guess the sleeve may not feel exactly like oral Sex ? but I don’t think you will care.
~ Comments
Excellent, Bravo, Oral Sex ?, Yeah!
Well, holly shit sums it up. I love the teeth and the ribbed texture is lighter and softer than the Super Ribbed ? making it much more like the tongue and you can even hit the back of the throat. Holly shit!
Torrid (Upcumming
review ?)
~ Pros
~ Cons
~ Comments
Vibro Touch
~ Pros
A texture of larger fangs or fingers that push and then pull against the head of your penis while vibrating.
~ Cons
The vibrating bullets included were not great when I bought the Vibro but maybe they are better now. The sleeve may be overly tight and stimulating and the vibrations are sometimes hard to feel. Also, with all 3 bullets inserted, your penis may not fit comfortably.
~ Comments
I bought the Touch and an older sleeve no longer available (Cyclone) similar to the Twista and I love the Twista-like sleeve and was mildly impressed with the Touch sleeve and the vibration part. I did buy 3 new bullets that have stronger vibrations which help if you put 1-2 bullets in and keep them in front of your penis. Or my favorite is to use the sleeve without a case with 2-3 bullets and just pull on the end of the sleeve slowly moving the texture up and down and all around. You may not need a case for this one but buy larger vibrators that will fit into the pockets and have fun figuring out the rest.
Vortex
~ Pros
Supper intense stimulation from different angles. Someone in the forum explained it best ? as, "penis confusion."
~ Cons
So stimulating that it may become numbing and rubbed me the wrong way.
~ Comments
I was so excited about this texture I used it first out of a handful of new arrivals when it was delivered. I tried hard to like this texture but I found it overbearing. Several times it literally rubbed my dick raw in front and along the foreskin to the point that my wife noticed and asked if I zipped-myself-up in my pants "Something about Mary" style.
wonder wave ?
~ Pros
Slightly more stimulating feel than vaginal intercourse. Both a good smooth and stimulating sensation that teases you to orgasm and loose enough to allow you to use suction control.
~ Cons
The stimulation may be both too little and not enough and the suction control may take some getting used to.
~ Comments
I liked this sleeve at first and I think it is probably tops the original textures but in the shadow of the Fleshlight ? Girls textures it has become for me something like going back to look at old yearbook pictures ? of the "Hot Girls" from junior high… they’re cute… but nothing like what is available now.
I hope this helps, happy Fleshlighting!
