This toy is worth its price and provides you with everything you are looking for in a toy like this. The product is durable, feels fantastic and really is worth the money you pay for it. If they could just address the issues of the toy being difficult to clean and being a bit noisy, this toy would be the ultimate male toy. Almost there guys, just a bit more research!Published: October 19, 2011
Pros:
Feels great
Worth its price
Worth its price
Cons:
Can be messy and difficult to clean
I have been waiting a long time to get my hands on a Fleshlight. Now that we have one I have to say it's worth every penny.
When the Fleshlight arrived it came in a tall USPS box. Inside the box we found the tin that the Fleshlight is packaged in. The tin is black and green with the word Fleshlight written down the side of it letting you know what is inside. The tin appears to be made of aluminum and is made very well. The back also has a little paragraph about the product letting us know a little about the product.
Once the tin is opened you can see that the Fleshlight is packaged using cardboard and plastic to protect the product. The cardboard creates a buffer between the tin and the product and the plastic bag creates a seal over the product. It comes with some documentation about the product and how to care for it, some information on Fleshlight's other products, as well as some complementary lube.
After removing the toy from its plastic you find that it resembles a flashlight. Some people find that the Fleshlight could pass as a flashlight therefore making it easy to hide and possibly mistake. The product itself is molded plastic that consists of 4 parts. The very end of the toy has a small cap that can be adjusted to regulate air flow in and out of the toy. The opposite end of the toy that covers the entrance to the toy also contains a cap which can be removed with ease giving access to the inside of the toy. The center section of the toy is also plastic which is molded to resemble the body of a flashlight. The body of the toy has the word Fleshlight molded into the side as well as other lines making it further resemble a flashlight. The final portion of the toy is the actual sleeve of the toy which is the inside of the toy.
The inside of the toy is manufactured out of a new material called Superskin. The material is very close to feeling like a womans body and has the characteristics of being very stretchy and retaining heat well. For those who are allergic the product does not contain latex or phthalates and is non-allergenic. The entrance of this specific product is as realistic as it gets resembling an actual vagina. The Superskin material in this product is pink. Inside the product, the material is bumpy and textured and this is actually why this product is called STU. It is recommended that you use a water based lube with this toy due to the material. The material needs to be cleaned with warm water because soap will actually damage the material. It is recommended to remove the sleeve and run warm (not hot) through the opening of the toy until you feel the toy is clean. I usually run mine under the water for about 30 seconds or so.
As far as it being a toy, it is definitely very fun to play with. However it does have some downsides.
First off, the toy, regardless of what the name says, does not look like a flashlight. It is quite a bit bigger than a flashlight and unless it's an aluminum flashlight like a mag light your comparing it to, it is much heavier than a conventional plastic flashlight. So regardless if it's in the tin or out of the tin on the shelf you aren't going to be able to slide this by as a flashlight. If anybody knows there is a sex toy that looks like a flashlight they are going to be able to pick this out right away. The next problem is that it is pretty big for a sex toy. It is the type of toy that you have to keep in a drawer or a specific place designated to keep the toy. The material is great but it is difficult to clean and if it isn't completely dry when its put away it will smell slightly moldy, which is no good at all. It also becomes very sticky over time with use. It is recommended in the documentation sent with the toy, that the Fleshlight be powdered with corn starch every once in a while to prevent it from being sticky.
It really is a great toy except for the minor issues that you just can't ignore. I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone looking for a great masturbator. I just hope that the issues I have with it can be resolved so I can love everything about it.
Almost perfect Fleshlight, keep making it better!

Experience
I have found with use that this product is fun to play with, but also requires some time and privacy to play with. The toy is slightly noisy and messy for what it is. As far as lube goes I suggest using Maximus or some other lube that is water based. This is because the easier it is to clean the better the experience you will have with the toy. Being messy and a bit noisy is the downside but the upside is it really is fun to play with. It is my go to toy when I have some alone time and can maintain the toy properly.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
Well Its been a few weeks since my initial review on the Fleshlight STU and I have to say my opinion has changed a bit. I still like it but I have kinda been let down a little by the Fleshlight. The problem I feel lies in the toys upkeep.
Is it a good toy? Certainly! Is it a good toy for me? I am finding out more and more the answer is no. My reasoning behind this is that this toy requires ALOT of upkeep. You really cant take out the Fleshlight for some quick fun and get away with just a quick clean up and putting it away. The toy gets sticky very easily and there really is no way for a "quick" clean up. It really needs to be cleaned by running water down through the toy for a minute or so and then it needs to be dried on the outside of the sleeve. It should also really be left out in the air for the inside to be air dried even if you have done your best to get into the inside to dry it out. If you fail to get the toy completely dry it tends to smell the next time and that makes you want to clean it again before you use it. I find that using corn starch to catch any possibly damp areas on the toy does help but does tend to also remove the moisture you apply the next time you decide to use the toy.
Being a father and husband I don't really have the time or desire to frequently use a toy that requires a lot of clean up. I also don't feel like leaving a toy like this out in the open for children or anyone else to find and present to me. For those reasons I think I am liking the Fleshlight slightly less.
However.... When I am home for the afternoon and I have some time where I am going to be left alone for a while... The Fleshlight seems to still come out and play for a while! It also happens to be great fun in the shower especially considering it is almost self cleaning in the shower!
If you are looking for a quick play, clean and put away toy take a look at something like the Wrap Around Sallie by California Exotic Novelties.
Thanks for reading!

Well does it work
-
Has it actually made any men last longer cause if it has I am really going to consider getting my husband one of these
-
The toy itself probably will not make men last longer. However, if when using it, the man practices "holding it in", it can help them to last longer as they learn self control over their own orgasms.

Why Can't You Like Fleshlights On Facebook?
-
Why can't you? And why don't they have the like button? You know, a lot of the lingerie doesn't either.
-
I think it's because it has a fauxgina right out and in the open.

Cleaning

I know people have said its hard to clean, but is it still worth it anyway? or does the hassle really take away...

Quote: I know people have said its hard to clean, but is it still worth it anyway? or does the hassle really take away...It's really not any trouble at all. If you have access to a sink with running water for a minute, you have everything you need to clean it. Isopropyl alcohol and corn starch seem to be additional optional measures that may keep it in better shape over the long run, but are probably not necessary every time.

Back-up plan...fail.

I bought this for my boyfriend for when we can't have sex during one week of every month but he refuses to use it. He would prefer masturbating or me giving him oral sex.
-
This is more of a statement rather than a question or discussion topic.
-
Have you tried using it with him. Try to surprise him and introduce it on one of your regular lovemaking sessions. You should take control and masturbate him with it, to show him what is he missing. Also, continually reassure him, it's ok to use when you can't have sex.

Thank you for viewing Fleshlight STU vagina – masturbator review page!



Thanks for the publish wetone123!
Thanks for sharing
Good review.
I find that they are one of the most easiest to clean of all strokers/masturbators. The fact that you only use water alone makes it so easy. For drying just use a hair dryer set to no heat or place it partway in the sleeve and stand it on the small end. This allows air flow and gravity to dry it. The cornstarch helps a bunch but I rarely use it.
Great review, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks for reading Toys in Love!
Thanks Toy Time Tim! I appreciate the advice, I have been thinking of a better way to clean and dry the toy. You have a great Idea there. Thanks for reading!
Thanks for reading Dynamic Kitty! and you are very welcome.
Thanks for the review.
nice review
