I have never owned or used a fleshlight before so I though I would give one a try and see what all the hype is all about. The toy comes very nicely packaged with thorough instructions and a powder for upkeep to keep your fleshlight soft and supple. Even though the box was nice, it is more of a display/store type of packaging so I did not keep it.

The outside case is gold and sturdy and the inside vagina is very soft and pink. It looks fairly realistic and it even has a little clit at the opening of the lips. There is a slight smell to it but nothing offensive to it. The flesh part of the fleshlight is very soft. It is softer than the actual thing but that is not always a good thing. However when it is in its case it all works very well together.

You could travel with this toy but at this point in our society nobody is going to think it is actually a flashlight. The case does keep it contained and clean until you are ready to use it.

I used it with a generous squirt of water-based lube and had no trouble slipping myself into it. It did feel good, tight and wet. It does feel cold so that makes it a little off putting to me but you quickly warm it up with your body heat. (I suppose you could warm it up in some hot water beforehand to get it closer to body temperature.) I was able to orgasm relatively quickly and strongly while using this toy. It was easily a better and a more enjoyable orgasm versus manual stimulation with hands and the toy catches the ejaculate for you.

Clean up is easy but questionable. You just run hot soapy water through the toy but you can't see into it so you really don't know how clean inside it is. Drying the toy is also problematic since the inside does not come in contact with much air.

This is still a fun toy to use once in a while. I only use it when real sex is not an option but it is a great substitute. I really think that the cleaning and drying part of these toys is the most troublesome part of them but not a deal breaker.
