A fleshlight is a male sex toy, designed to offer the feeling and sensation of a real vagina through a series of bumps, ridges and textures. The goal is to offer an incredibly realistic experience, and essentially enjoy the act of intercourse, even when masturbating alone. The toy is made of a structured shape, the entrance of which is designed to look like the human body and is covered in a hyper-realistic, SuperSkin material. Each and every detail has been carefully considered to ensure that the end result looks and feels like genuine flesh. As you move your penis inside the toy, the surface texture is designed with pleasure in mind; all you need to do is get into position, lube up with your favorite product, place your penis into the sleeve and get ready to enjoy the pleasure of the Fleshlight!

Using Your Fleshlight – Step By Step
In order to make the most of your fleshlight, it is important to learn how to use it properly. By following our step-by-step program, you will be ready to go in no time!
Preparation
Before you kick things off with your Fleshlight, preparation is key. One of the first priorities should be to warm up the toy; while the soft silicone sleeve of the standard Fleshlight is specifically designed to emulate real flesh as closely as possible, it is not yet possible to replicate the warmth you get from another human. Carefully warm up the sleeve inside and out by running the Fleshlight under warm running water for a few minutes to bring it up to temperature. Alternatively, you can simply place the sleeve in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes for the same effect.
While the sleeve is warming up to the perfect body temperature, you can prepare the lube – this is ultimately a personal choice, but you need to consider your choice carefully; the lube you choose can have a large impact on the feel and sensation of your Fleshlight, as well as your own comfort and pleasure. The material of your Fleshlight can be damaged by some lubes, and so we recommend always using a water-based lube to preserve the life of your device. Read our reviews to find out the best lube for you.
It is a good idea to play with both thick and thin lubes to see which is the best fit for you – as a rule, thicker lube reduces the intensity and feel of Fleshlights, but this is not the case for everyone. If you need more information on how to warm up Fleshlight, visit our blog post.
Movement
Once the preparation is complete, you can start the movements, and there are two main options here: stroking by hand or going hands-free. For the former, you can enter the sleeve, and start moving the sleeve along the length of your penis by hand, just as with unaided masturbation. This allows you complete control over speed, intensity and angle, and you can make any adjustments you require, however small. One of the only drawbacks of this method is the size of the sleeve, which can be uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time.
Going hands-free is another option – if you have a partner, they can help you out, but there are also plenty of options if you prefer to fly solo: opt for a mount, such as the Fleshlight shower mount, or insert the case into a homemade mount such as a pile of pillows or a rolled-up sleeping bag to secure it, and get started.
Stroking by hand
Going hands-free
Pros
- Control every stroke, including speed, intensity, and movement
- Use your toy anytime, any place
- No need to worry about keeping hold of the sleeve
- Can enjoy a more authentic experience
Cons
- Can be too large and awkward to be comfortable
- May need a second pair of hands
Cleaning Your Fleshlight
One of the most important things to remember when using your Fleshlight, or any other sex toys, is to ensure that you clean it thoroughly after each and every use. This can be achieved by wiping over the surface with warm water and a damp cloth, or by investing in a specialist sex toy cleaner. The key priority is to ensure that you clean your fleshlight thoroughly after every single use, to reduce the risk of bacteria and mold gathering in the inner section. Feeling like skipping a cleaning session? Take just a moment to consider what you are doing with your Fleshlight, what it is coming into contact with, and the residue which may be left. Cleaning your toy seems much more appealing now doesn’t it!
It’s important to note that you must leave your Fleshlight to dry completely before using it again – simply leave it out and allow it to air dry; this will help to reduce the risk of mold forming. Learn how to dry Fleshlight here.
Top Tips For Using Your Fleshlight
Making the most of your Fleshlight is largely dependent on your creativity, and there are a host of options that can turn a standard Fleshlight into a sensational fake pussy.
Shower Sex
Why not use a silicone cup to attach your toy to the shower wall, and enjoy some mind-blowing shower sex? Just make sure that you have somewhere solid to plant your feet.
Personalized Pocket Pussy
Lacking a suction cup? Then create your own pocket pussy by stuffing your Fleshlight into a pile of towels or blankets, and then getting creative with new positions and options.
