The Fleshlight Lady original is a male masturbation sleeve hidden in a large hard plastic container. It is designed to look like a flashlight. It can be used for solo or couples play. Though it is primarily designed for penis insertion, it can also be used on other parts of the body for rubbing and stimulating. By "other parts" I mean the clitoris or nipples. It can even be used for practicing oral and fingering techniques.

The masturbator's primary use will be for male masturbation. The soft, flesh-like sleeve is cleaned and lubricated with a water based lubricant, and the penis is inserted in the vaginal opening. The Fleshlight is moved to stroke the penis. There is a cap that can be tightened to add varying degrees of suction while the Fleshlight is used. There are many different sleeves available, which should be considered before purchasing the Fleshlight. The Lady Original model is a classic and time-tested choice, which you can't go wrong in choosing even though it lacks an internal texture.

The material of the Fleshlight sleeve is made of Superskin, which is described as "an incredibly realistic soft and smooth material". It is non-allergenic, latex free and retains heat well. It is certainly a soft and flexible material. Although it is life-like, you should expect it to be on the rubbery side of life-like. It is both malleable and stretchy. The material can be described as plushy, soft, and rather fun to play with as it has such a unique feel. Even so, it will be firm enough to provide a consistent grip on the penis. This grip can be adjusted by spinning the cap and increasing suction. The material of the casing itself is a hard plastic. It is a durable material, and it is complete with ridges making it easy to grip.

This product does in fact retain heat, but it tends to cool down quickly when exposed to air in a cool room. The smell is the faint synthetic smell you would expect of a soft rubbery material. In no way is it strong enough to be displeasing or distracting. The smell can decrease over time if the product is properly cleaned and maintained. Corn starch can be used to rejuvenate the texture of the sleeve, as well as improve the smell. This particular Fleshlight sleeve does not have an internal texture, which is not a bad thing as some textures can be uncomfortable and detract from the positive features of this product.

Though this masturbator is designed to be discrete and look like a flashlight, it is certainly a very large flashlight. After all, it has to have a penis fit inside it all the way through the handle, a fleshy sleeve around that penis, and then contained in the hard plastic casing. You can expect a wide handle on this large toy. It has a diameter between four inches at the top by the vaginal opening, and it measures two inches at the bottom where the suction cap is located. It is nice that it is discreet enough that it might not be recognized at first glance, but any closer inspection would give it away. Hopefully, no one ever walks in on you and says "Holy crap, you're fucking a flashlight".

Even though it is a large toy, it can still be held in one hand. At 20 oz of weight, it is not too heavy for extended play. Even though there are several parts to this toy- the sleeve, the shell, and a screw cap on top and bottom-, your toy is in one spot and easy to travel with or put into storage once it is all put together.

With the average penis size around six inches, this toy will be compatible for most men. It is neither too tight nor too large. I have experimented with other sleeves, such as the 'super tight' and 'ribbed' internal textures, and I found them to be unenjoyable. The Fleshlight Lady Original, however, was comfortable and stimulating without being loose. I would imagine the vast majority of men would find this toy to be compatible with their penis. Whether it is cirumcised or not, and whether it is on the small/average/large size, any penis will do.

The functions for this toy are really only limited to your imagination on what is possible to do with a portable vagina. The Fleshlight has the unique design of a screw on cap at the back of the toy (towards the head of the inserted penis), which can be tightened to increase suction while the product is used. If the cap is off completely, there is no suction. It can be tightened so that there is a very strong pull on the penis (so much so that it can be painful when the penis is fully inserted and withdrawn) and any level in between. I prefer long strokes across my penis, so I use light to no suction It's really up to your personal preferences, and you can experiment with the toy without hassle to find what works for you.

This product is waterproof, but it is not compatible with silicone based lubricants. This causes the lubrication to feel like it is drying up when used in the shower. I consider the 'drying out' effect of shower sex one of the paradoxes of nature.

Now, many will say that this product feels extremely realistic, but that really depends on how stringent your comparison is between a masturbator and real life sex. I suppose it feels closer than any other masturbator I've used, especially when I've soaked it in hot water. This helps it feel like the internal warmth of a real vagina. It does not physically feel as good as real sex, nor is it as convenient as regular masturbation. That said, it still opens many possibilities for fun experimentation and novelty use.

Caring for this product after use will require removing the sleeve from the plastic shell and cleaning both the sleeve and the shell thoroughly in warm water. The material is NOT supposed to be used with soap. This means, that to sanitize the Fleshlight, you should keep some isopropyl alcohol handy. Once it is thoroughly cleaned (leaving any semen can cause a rather gut wrenching smell), the product must be dried before it is stored (trapping any water in the toy promotes mold growth). The product is not particularly hard to clean, but it still must be done with care. Drying itself can be a nuisance, as water is easily trapped in the hard plastic shell. I disassemble my Fleshlight after cleaning and leave it out to dry, which is a bit of a nuisance. The product does not look discreet when disassembled.

Along with soaps, silicone lubes will ruin the internal sleeve. Make sure water based lubricants ONLY are used with this product. Over time, the sleeve will lose the soft, life-like feel. It can be rubbed with corn starch and cleaned for the texture to return.

This toy requires more time and effort than most men regularly place into masturbation. It requires lubrication, extra clean up time, and the actual process of going to a drawer and grabbing it. This is more than I usually have to do when I masturbate. I know that sounds extremely lazy, and someone who doesn't masturbate regularly might enjoy the motions of preparation to heighten the anticipation of the act. When compared to the "wham bam, thank you" hand sessions of masturbation I'm used to, the Fleshlight is a bit of a hassle.

My favorite use for this toy is running hot water through the vaginal canal and then masturbating with it for some heated play. The sensation is amazing. At first, it feels much warmer than an actual vagina. It will usually fade away to a warm, then lukewarm feeling within about ten minutes. However, this way of using the Fleshlight takes time and preparation (usually about ten minutes under a faucet). Therefore, it really lacks the convenience I'm used to when masturbating. I think because of this, and of the inconvenience of cleaning and drying this toy, that my Fleshlight has seen many more nights in storage than I first anticipated. By the same token, regular masturbation can grow stale. The Fleshlight can spice that up quickly, whether used by oneself or with a partner. The Fleshlight is an awesome product for variety. Because of that, I think almost every man can enjoy it. Just don't expect it to be the Magic Wand for men and an essential partner to orgasm.
