I'll get straight to the point: you can play rough with it! It's best to stuff it in a pillow, or hold it at the perfect height with a support from a piece of furniture and thrust like you would with a girl. I used the Liberator Wedge to align it right. Also, think about something that can hold it firmly. I used the space between the mattress and the bed. If you prefer moving it with your hands, then I suggest you use both hands! It's better like that, because it's big and it has a weight. Try rotating it around! It allows you to go crazy! You can push in balls deep, since it has the length for most guys. If you are big then you probably shouldn't do that with a girl anyway because her cervix might be sensitive.

It can be used when your significant other is away, to enhance masturbation. I wouldn't use it together though – I prefer the real thing! I’ll use it on lone Saturday afternoons.

Stoya has the lotus texture. I haven't tried anything else from Fleshlight yet, but it feels good. However, it's not like the real one! I could describe it as I was wearing a thicker extra safe condom in a real pussy. You can tell that the texture is varying. Take a look at the photos on their site, so you can have a better idea about the lotus.

Since it's quite long, there is a possibility that you won't feel the texture in the end. It's been said before, but it's not about reaching them – it's about feeling them. In order to feel them, you'd have to be beyond the first few chambers at the end. I found this achievable when I took it out from the case. You can even come through at the far end this way. You get the encompassing/grabbing feeling while you are free to do whatever you want with the head of your cock.

The material itself is extra soft and it’s called Superskin. It feels very skin-like, but it’s smoother. It's stretchy and looks kind of durable too. It has quite a weight! I could only sense this 'new' smell, which slowly goes away. It’s not too intense anyway – just a neutral factory smell.

With lube applied, it gets even better. Actually, lubing is not optional, so make sure you carefully choose a good water-based one!

I like the design a lot! It looks very good. I was expecting something less detailed, so this was a surprise. The skin tone is pretty real. The anatomy is a bit off because the hole is in the center of the vulva, opposed to the reality where it’s on the lower side. I watched some videos with Stoya the porn star, but I don't find too much resemblance between her pussy and this Fleshlight. So if you are buying this for Stoya only, keep this in mind. I haven't bought it for Stoya – I just liked the looks and it's even better in real life.

It's BIG when you first take it out of the can. The end caps add to it's length. When it's only about the insertable length, then it's less than 8" so it's not THAT oversized. An average or a bit over average sized man will be able to find a good use of this toy.

The entrance is tight (not too much though), that's very good for entering several times again and again. If you let go it pushes you out if you are not already deep in it.

I read that it's hard to hold. Well, if your hand is lubed up you will have a VERY hard time with it and screwing the caps. You might want to adjust the end cap during use, and you can only do that with a dry hand. Holding it is not that hard, but it's wide. Use two hands!

So what about hiding it? Well if you just store it as it is, without the can, it's easy to hide. If you want it with the can, well, it's going to be tricky. It still fits in a drawer, but the can has too much unnecessary empty space left around the Fleshlight.

I guess it would fit in a traveling suitcase. If you go to a hotel alone and use it there, it's ok. If you go with your partner then I don't see the point. Using this on a trip or in a camp would be near impossible because of the sounds and the cleaning needs of this. You'd look funny cleaning it in the bathroom with other people passing by. I recommend a Tenga egg for travel purposes, since that one is disposable and isn't noisy. Tenga egg

The outer part of the Superskin which is normally invisible until you have taken it out of the case, has some fins that keep the thing in place. Some of these fins are not separated from the body. I don’t think it’s normal, but it doesn't affect the performance. This is not enough for me to arrange a return, but note that this can happen with this type of material.

It's very forgiving and works well whatever your play style is.

I read a lot of reviews that said it makes sounds. I don't think that's a problem at all, since sex makes sounds too! The end cap can be closed (somewhat), loosened, or removed. The more you let the air free, the less it sounds funny (hissing noise). It mainly depends on how fast you are. If you close it up, the air still finds its way in an out. It makes a bit of suction but don't expect wonders. You are more 'free' to play when the cap is off or loose. Just put it back on if you decide to come in it because it'll help hold your juice in until you clean your toy.

I'm sure it could be fun in the bathroom, just keep it away from soap.

I like taking care of my toys. In this case, it doesn't require too much time. You hold one end to the tap and let water flow thorough it rapidly. Maybe help with your finger too. I'd start with cold water because of the man juice can get weird when it meets hot/warm water! When it's flushed out, you can do the warm/hot (not burning hot!) water washing. The instruction says don’t use soap.

Then comes the tricky part: you have to let it air dry. I read here that a hair dryer on cold program may work. Well I tried it and I couldn’t keep the dryer properly locked on to either end. In addition, I could hear the dryer suffer, and it started to become warm… Drying the outside like this is pointless as the only hard part is drying the inside. Anyway, I placed it on a towel and stuffed it in the dresser. It doesn’t have the best air circulation, but it's not covered by anything in there. I can't leave it out in plain sight, so that’s why I have to do it like this.

Nevertheless, the outside dried in a few hours! However, the inside takes much time. You can use it again if you want while it’s drying – you’ll just have to wash it one more time then leave it to dry again. It's easy to remove from and to put it back in the case. You don't need to think too much about it, as it'll pop in its place and the weight helps too.

They say it eventually becomes sticky. I haven't experienced this yet, but maybe I have different stickiness threshold than others. Anyway, you can put corn starch on it as it can maintain the softness of the Superskin.

As for storage, I suggest you skip the can and store the toy with the case closed around with other toys, it won't take up too much space this way.

I don't think it has anything to do with a flashlight. It's a big, white-pearlescent case, which is very nice but I'm not going to keep it in plain sight.

It came in a well-designed, big can. It has black and purple colors, and a sticker with the specifics. If customs officials open the package (they didn't open mine), they'll know what it is. Therefore, the can is not discreet. I still think about where to stash it, as I don't use it. It was sealed with some plastic wrapper around the cap of the can, so if it's not on your product, it's been opened and that's not cool.

The toy comes with an instructions brochure and a postcard. This has Stoya on one side and other girls on the back. It's kind of an ad. There is a tiny sample of Fleshlube as well. The toy had a long brown plastic piece in it that I immediately got rid of. It's for shipping purposes or something like that. The instruction warned me so I haven't found out about this the hard way.

I was interested in the Fleshlights, so I wanted to try one out to know what's this hype is about. I didn't have high expectations. I'm not disappointed, but I won't be a collector though I might try a few more! It certainly won't replace my hands, or the real thing. It just provides a different feeling. It's not true that the Fleshlight is better than the original and you won't enjoy it anymore. It's also not true that you'll never go back to your hands. Don't worry about these things. I think it's definitely worth a try.

I wrote my review based on experience, but here is an additional one. I used both a cooling and a warming lube with Stoya. I think warming works better with this toy, as I could really feel things heating up! By the way, it was Durex Warming. It’s no longer available on EF – I don’t know why. The cooling lube was Wet Ecstasy, and it didn’t work well for this toy.
