Reposted since you moved the thread:

Lemme see if I can hit all of your points.

The boyfriend and I have a ridiculous collection of these things. As for the boyfriend's tops, we love the Wonder Wave texture, the Forbidden texture, and the Twista texture. He's also very fond of using the Vibro Touch texture without the Vibro sensation.

As for what we carry, EF carries other textures aside from Lotus textures, but quite a few of the Fleshlight Girls collections are the Lotus texture. If the title doesn't say otherwise, I'd assume it was the Lotus texture. Feel free to message me if you want to double-check though as I can tell from looking at the back of the tin in the product pictures if that is pictured. (I did say we owned a lot of them. ) If you want to figure it out for yourself, this is what the Lotus texture looks like: link

Here are the non Lotus varieties that we carry. I only included vaginal ones, but there are a lot more varieties in non-vaginal versions:

As for your size, just look at the texture you're looking at. If most of the texture is in the back-half of the Fleshlight texture, I'd avoid it as you're not going to be long enough to reach the texture. Reading reviews and possibly finding a reviewer around the same size as you will also allow you to have a good perspective on what works and what doesn't.

The Lotus was too tight for us, so it might be what you're after. My review of it says: "The boyfriend happens to be a tad girthier than average, so I think it might have contributed to it, but he said that he felt like the sleeve was too tight. Like the sleeve was continually trying to push him out in a way that he didn’t enjoy." He finds the Wonder Wave tight in a much more pleasurable way.

As for how to care for this, you're not supposed to use soap on it, but I think some reviewers here have done experiments and found no damage to their Fleshlight over long-term. We, however, tend to stick with the no-soap approach to avoid harming the sleeve long-term. We've never cornstarched our sleeves, but the cornstarch just makes the sleeve nice and silky soft like when it first comes. If you're okay with a bit of stickiness (which we don't even notice during use), the cornstarch doesn't seem to make a different. Fleshlight recommends it though.

For cleaning, our basic set-up: Take out the sleeve, rinse the plastic container, open up the sleeve in a fish-like manner and let the water run through, and then use your fingers to manually clean the insert. I know a friend who places the insert in a little pool of water and does all of that underwater, but we just run the water over it. We use as hot as his fingers can possibly stand to help clean it as much as possible. From there, the plastic case sits upside down over a ledge to let it dry, and the sleeve sits out in a fish-like fashion on the sink edge to dry. We usually let it dry about 24-36 (depending on our laziness) hours and move it a couple times during that time period for optimal drying. Make sure it is COMPLETELY dry before putting it away for store as mold growing on a stored wet Fleshlight is not unheard of.

That's our stuff. I hope that answered everything, and let me know if it didn't. less

Most of the questions got answered, and after much deliberation I've narrowed things down to 3 possibilities with a 4th being a 'backup' I'll post a comparative poll very shortly, though I do need a confirmation to if by 'fish like manner' you mean completely reversed (texture on outside, 'skin' on in, I didn't really understand what you meant by that...

also whats the minimum you'd suggest drying the sleeve for? I mean, if I say used it, washed it, patted it down and waited 4-6 hours and used it again then cleaned it again, there wouldn't be any problem would there? my room (well, my current one, not sure how much longer I'll be here) is fairly stuffy so things dry out fast usually.

thank you for all your very detailed explanation, I really appreciated it ^^ less
