The traditional Fleshlight design consists of a soft inner made of Fleshlight's SuperSkin material, inside a harder plastic case with an opening at the bottom for suction adjustment. That's the core of the majority of the company's products, but they very massively in terms of the way that design is applied: there are different openings, different canal textures, and different materials to try out.

And yes, Fleshlight is not the only fruit. There are male masturbators from other companies that take things even further: Tenga's range trends towards the geometric, so it's a great choice if you're looking for something more interesting, and others like MyHixel and Lelo are pushing the envelope in guy toys more in the electronic direction. How we test Fleshlights However, there are definite pros and cons to all 3 of the Fleshlight toys in this review, so consider what you’re looking for in a sex toy and what your personal circumstances are. All Fleshlights are body safe made with our patented 100% phthalate-free SuperSkin™ material (beware of imitations) .

Wherever possible, we request a sample of the latest Fleshlight or Fleshlight-style toy to test out properly by our experts. Reviewing is done by experienced sex toy reviewers who have used a range of Fleshlights and other male toys over the years and know what makes a great toy. Not only do we see how they perform on their own or with a partner, but we also see what the cleaning process is like and if it travels well... we cover all the basics!

Sometimes they're anatomical looking, sometimes they're not. Sometimes they resemble a flashlight (in which case, you'd better hope the wrong person doesn't happen upon it in a power cut), sometimes they're something absolutely unique. There's no right or wrong in the Fleshlight world – just what feels best.The Arcwave Voy is open-ended, so a stroker rather than a true Fleshlight, which is why it sits slightly further down this list. Tidy, discreet and high quality, this toy has a simple but effective design. Twist a ring on its top edge to adjust the tightness and internal feel between eight settings. It's not too tight but each end has a slightly different diameter, which means you can rotate it to add pressure where you want it. We expect it to last a long time, and it's easy to keep clean, too. The Boost and the Vantage are the same size, although they do have different interior textures. Both are 4.4 inches long with their protective cases on, but when you take them out of their cases, they have an insertable length of 3.5 inches. They are approximately 2.5 inches across in diameter, but the internal sleeve comes in much further than that, leaving a very tight hole for your Johnson to squeeze through. Then we have the Boost, which ramps the chemical smell up a gear. Once you open the case, the smell does hit you a little bit. It’s not a particularly unpleasant smell; it’s just not very sexy. Funnily enough, it smells like something that you might find in a mechanic’s garage or on a factory floor. Not ideal, but tolerable. With the Ice Lady, Fleshlight is working on the premise that see-through is sexy, and it's not wrong. This toy gives you a clear view of all the action (with some rather complementary refraction), which makes it perhaps the best Fleshlight for use with a partner. There's the same great-feeling crystal SuperSkin that's used in the Flight Pilot, and the inner canal introduces a whole load of different textures for you to explore – although the narrow central section might be unhelpfully placed for some people. If you don't like suction, an open-ended device is probably a good idea. Perhaps it's odd that Lovehoney's budget-priced blowjob stroker doesn't form a seal, but it's shorter than some, so its open end both offers extra space and opportunities to focus on the base of the penis without overstimulating the glans, and it opens up some interesting blow job possibilities, too. The vibrator isn't particularly technologically advanced, but it's easy enough to switch on and off when the mood takes you, and you can remove it when you're cleaning. The texture within should be far more pleasant than the slightly fearsome picture above might suggest, too. Make sure you're using plenty of water-based lube and you'll get on just fine.

In my opinion, the Vantage is the classiest looking out of all these toys. The transparent aesthetic is really cool and sleek – it’s like the Aston Martin of Fleshlights. If James Bond had to rub one out on the sly, he’d probably use a clear sex toy like the Vantage. Come to think of it, there is an Aston Martin Vantage, so it’d fit right in. Trust Fleshlight-branded products to extend the life of your Fleshlight. Use only water-based lubricants to avoid damaging your Fleshlight.

The range has plenty of anatomical reproductions, with vagina, mouth and anus openings designed for straight, gay or curious enjoyment. Fleshlight has also reproduced the parts of various porn stars of both orientations, which might help you get a bit closer to your favourite adult material. Some more sensitive users find the textured canals of typical Fleshlights a little too much. But not everything has to be lumpy, bumpy, and covered in all kinds of geometric shapes –the Pink Lady and Pink Butt, the Fleshlights that started it all, keep it smooth inside.They're not exactly baggy; most men will find a reasonably tight canal (and, on the Pink Butt, a suitably small opening) gives all parts of the penis plenty to experience on the way in, but the soft material means you won't be fighting to enter, and there's a pressure relief valve on the rear with which to find a balance of suction and slide. I lubed up with Fleshlight’s free sachet of Fleshlube that they included in the box, though I felt that the included amount of lube wasn’t enough for one session, so don’t rely on their sachet to get you through your first wank with this. After lubing up my penis and gently inserting it through each side of the tunnel, I had spread the lube around pretty evenly. It may not have realistically-moulded lips on the entrance, but it really doesn't need them: the Fleshlight Turbo Thrust is touted as the ultimate in blow job simulations. With that in mind, Fleshlight has designed its orifice with several distinct sections, for three potential points of insertion: soft lips, a caressing tongue, a throat ridge, and then a varied ribbed canal to follow. When you think of Fleshlights, you probably think of the Stamina Training Unit – a 10-inch long faux vagina (or anus) which is designed to closely mimic the feel of sex for men. We actually did a review of the top Fleshlights where we compared many of these large toys.
