I remember well the first time a tried a Fleshlight, it was a non-descript, untextured model. But as plain as it was, it felt amazing to use, and I remember thinking that this was the Cadillac of all self-love toys. I couldn't imagine that it could get much better. But it did. Behold the Ice Mouth Crystal. This hand-held masturbation tool will fit seamlessly into your regular routine, or, it could be your best friend on those long and lonely sexless stretches. If you have a penis, it doesn't matter how you spin it, this toy is for you.

Fleshlights are made of "Superskin", and the Ice Mouth Crystal is no exception. This material is designed to be as lifelike as possible. It is soft, flexible, and is incredibly forgiving. You'd have to masturbate with it for hours before experiencing the slightest bit of chafing. At first glance, it is resembles a standard jelly-like material. But upon closer examination, it has so much more give, and is infinitely more lifelike. Combined with this Fleshlight's textured interior, the Superskin provides only the slightest amount of friction; just enough to stimulate your cock into a frenzy of sensation, but not to the extent that you'll feel over-stimulated and have trouble finishing too fast.

When you use it for the first time, you will notice two things. The first is a mild synthetic smell. This decreases gradually over time. Eventually, after a few uses and thorough cleanings, you won't even notice it. Second, the soft parts of the toy are coated with a powder-like substance. This helps to maintain superskin's velvety texture, and without it, the material can become tacky and act like a lint magnet.

Like other Fleshlights, this one is housed in a hard plastic shell. This allows you to form a firm grip on the toy, without adding extra pressure to your penis. Some may say that this takes away from the experience, since in real life things like pressure and tightness will vary, but I disagree. The consistency of the Fleshlight allows you to build-up and practice stamina. And besides, you wouldn't want a masturbator to feel exactly like the real thing, would you? In my opinion, that would make it boring. A masturbator should feel lifelike enough so that it is comfortable, but different enough so that it is exotic. In other words, it needs to be what a complex Belgian import is to a plain but decent domestic ale. It needs to be luxurious; it needs to be a treat.

The texture inside the Ice Mouth Crystal is varied. On the product description page, it is stated that the interior texture is beaded, but this is an understatement. While there are many beads inside, there are a number of other things as well. There are ribs of varying thickness and frequency, and nubs both rounded and square. In combination, all of these different textures provide a veritable cocktail of sensations, and will leave your cock begging for release.

One nifty feature shared by other Fleshlights is the variable suction, adjusted by twisting the cap on the bottom. The tighter the cap, the more suction on your cock. This will make the device feel tighter-fitting. The looser the cap, the more it will slide unimpeded. Just exactly how much suction you want is something you'll have to discover through simple trial and error.

The only weakness that I can think of is this: the Fleshlight is, in itself, a very bulky toy. It is not easy to store, and it is not something you'd want to get caught with at an airport security check. For this reason, I wouldn't say that it's travel friendly, nor can I imagine myself owning more than a couple. They simply take up too much space.

Between uses, it is recommended that you rinse the Fleshlight thoroughly with water, but do not use soap. This will adversely affect the Superskin material. Leave it out of the plastic casing for a time to allow it dry. At this point, it is also a good idea to add an even layer of cornstarch to the surface of the toy. This will prevent it from becoming too sticky and resembling an ugly thatch of dust and body hair. It is not recommended to use talcum or baby powder; just stick to plain old cornstarch for this purpose. Once dry and re-powdered, be sure to store it away from the elements in a place that is clean and safe.

Also keep in mind that only water-based lube is recommended for use with this toy.
