Guys - Need help picking a Fleshlight for a friend!

I recently bought my male friend a Tenga egg. Long story on why, but he ended up really liking it. His birthday is coming up and since he liked the Tenga so much I wanted to upgrade him. I showed him some photos of different ones and he said "you pick, you have more experience." Problem is that I have experience with female sex toys and don't have a penis to test Fleshlights out.

I'd put up a poll on which is best, but there's so many that the poll would be ridiculous. He wasn't a fan of the Freaks line (what a shame!) and I think he'd prefer one in the shape of a vagina rather than an ass or just a hole.

With that info - which Fleshlight should I pick? Which ones are your favorites and why? Is there really a huge difference from model to model? less

For the standard Fleshlights, the only difference is really the interior texture. The material is basically the same with only very slight differences, for example between the opaque Ice model versus the flesh colored ones. The exterior appearance also varies, but that is more aesthetic than functional. You have to read the reviews carefully regarding the internal textures because many will be the same but the product page does not differentiate.

The Fleshlight Sex in a Can line is made of the same material but is overall smaller in length and diameter. So if your friend is above average, the SIAC line would not be recommended.

Fleshlight also has some newer models recently released (Blade and Sword), which I don't know much about except that the canister is now squeezable to increase pressure. I believe the textures are new as well.

The Tenga Flip Hole line (White, Black, Red, and Silver) are large canister style masturbators. The internal material is firmer than a Fleshlight. They open up along the length for easier cleaning. Opinions vary regarding cleaning the Fleshlight, but my opinion is that it is a pain in the ass. Both the traditional Fleshlight and the Tenga Flip Holes are large and somewhat bulky.

A toy to consider that is somewhere between the Fleshlight/Flip Hole and the Tenga Eggs is the Tenga 3D. It's a sleeve without a hard outer case, is more durable than the eggs, and is offered in multiple textures as well.

Hope that helps. less

BTW Somewhere in the description it says it's good for fifty uses... LOL! I've exceeded that fifty use thing by many multiples of fifty.
Additionally, I've had that same Tenga Flip Hole for a bit over twenty two months now and even though it no longer looks new, it still works well. During a solo session I'll cum in it several times. I won't clean it after each orgasm in a single session but definitely before putting it away. Still no odors and for me that's a big deal, I won't use something like that if it stinks. less

SUPER helpful!! Thanks so much!

I guess the texture thing is gonna be hard to pick for someone else. I'm not sure what he'd like. I was looking through them and there are so many.

Have you tried the STU? I thought that one sounded interesting, though if they're all a pain in the ass to clean the Tenga 3D may be a better way to go. less

I got the STU for a friend a year or so ago and he absolutely loved it. I wanted a cock just so I could play with it! It was still in tact the last I knew.

It supposedly helps guys last longer but we didn't notice a big difference. I think any toy will help a guy last longer if it is used enough.

The fleshlight sleeves are replaceable, right?

The 3D looks cool but it seems like it would be a pain to flip inside out all the time. less

I have not tried the STU. And yes, texture preference is going to be individual dependent. It's really going to be hard to predict what any one person will like.

And to be honest, none of the masturbators are super easy in regards to cleaning. The Fleshlight you have to rinse out and then air dry (usually takes a few days) so that the inside is completely dry before you store it away, lest it grow mold on the inside.

The Tenga Flip Holes are easier to clean because they open up, but you still have to let them air dry for a few hours before storing.

The 3Ds are easy to wash out because they can be inverted (carefully so you don't splash yourself in the face) but you also have to keep them out to air dry for a day or so before storing them.

You can use a hair dryer on a cool setting to dry any of them faster and more thoroughly.

Something else to consider is that the Fleshlight and Flip Hole models can be used "hands free," meaning you can stick them between pillows or the mattress and box spring without having to hold them.

You'll find opinions differ among the masturbators in general because each is slightly different and so preference is individual. less

EF does not sell the Misty Stone backdoor fantasy, but the Forbidden texture is available on EF in the Jenna Haze Forbidden. This is what I mean about reading reviews carefully. Many share the same internal texture but the name does not necessarily indicate it as such. As another example, I believe all of the Fleshlight Girls vagina line feature the Lotus texture. So Stoya, Riley Steele, Jesse Jane, etc. all have the same texture. The only difference is the external appearance.

The Maven is popular as a good and cheap alternative. However, the size tends to favor guys that are above average. less
