It's great when using it slowly, or at the tip, so that you get outstanding stimulations with each stroke. In my experience, placing it between my bed frame and mattress for hands-free use was amazing. However, doing this for too many nights and I began to lose interest in the position, so I think once every other night or so may be best.

The texture feels nice, but to get the best stimulation, the front part is best for that. However, without lubrication, you will get a lot of friction and it will be unusable. But I found that after using lubrication for a while, it sort of smoothed out the inside permanently so that I can use it without lubrication thereafter.

The size of this toy is perfect, and the case is somewhat discreet, so that if someone saw you holding it in your hand with both end lids closed, they wouldn't realize what it was, unless they read the "Fleshlight" name on the side.

The Fleshlight works best when stroking the tip of the penis, where you get the best sensation out of it. It is difficult to air dry, and takes quite awhile, but if it isn't fully dry, the water gathers at the bottom and spills out in the next use, and it also will make a lot of noise as a result of the water.

It is best to clean it out within a couple hours after use, otherwise the semen can stain the material yellow if not cleaned long after use. Personally, I simply store it in an old laptop case next to my bed, which easily fits the Fleshlight and lube bottle.

With the hand, there was little sensation in each stroke compared to the Fleshlight, and was overall not very enjoyable, especially since I have to use a sock at the end which doesn't feel good. With this, it's just nonstop enjoyment, and is much, much cleaner than dirtying up all the socks in your drawer. I would masturbate with my hand on average 2/3 nights, but with the Fleshlight, it's more like 5/6 or 6/7. I look forward to masturbation much more now than before I got the Fleshlight.
