My husband had been eyeing this toy for awhile, so I decided to get it for him. This was his first-ever toy. After doing a lot of reading and research, we chose this Fleshlight STU, mainly to spice things up and to make him last longer.

The best way to use this is laying down on a bed and making sure you have enough lube, but not too much. If you put too much inside, it will start to leak out of the bottom. We found out the hard way! Make sure you put some on the outside of the opening and drip a little bit inside. I also suggest using the Fleshlight brand lube. We ran out of the sample packet that it came with and bought a different name brand lube to save some money. Needless to say, it didn't quite work as well as the Fleshlight lube. It became thick and gooey and we had to keep re-applying it. The Fleshlight lube is very slick and works like a dream. So make sure you order a bottle to go with the Fleshlight. It's definitely worth it! Also, make sure when you're using this to not go too fast and too hard because the penis can easily pop out of it and you could seriously get injured if you're not paying attention.

The texture on the outside is very smooth and silky. It feels very nice! My husband also really enjoyed the inside texture of the sleeve. He really enjoys how it feels but said that it's not better than or just as good as the real thing like the website states. But, it's as close as you're going to get to the real thing. I also suggest using cornstarch after each use, just as the instructions say you may want to do, to retain the soft and smooth feel of it. Otherwise, it will get sticky and if you have pet hair and lint flying around, it will definitely stick to it. Then you'll have a gross mess on your hands!

When we first opened the Fleshlight, we were pretty intimidated! It comes in a tin for safe keeping, which I really like. The Fleshlight itself was a lot bigger and heavier than we had imagined it to be. At first glance, it's pretty bulky, but you get used to it. I like that the bottom cap twists depending on how loose or tight you want it to be. The only issue I have with the bottom cap is that when you have it twisted to the loosest, the cap jiggles. So when you're using it, it tends to be pretty loud, unless you put your hand on the cap to make it stop moving around, which can be awkward. If you live alone or don't mind a bit of noise, then it shouldn't be an issue. I also like that it has a cap to cover the top when not in use to keep out debris and such. Overall, once you get past the bulkiness, it's a pretty nice design.

The sensation my husband feels during use is really great. He loves it and it does seem to make him last a lot longer. You just have to make sure that if you're trying to use this to last longer, you need to keep up with it, otherwise it won't work. We noticed that when we used it every once in awhile, he wasn't lasting as long in the sack, but when he used it diligently, he was lasting a lot longer. The nubs/texture inside make for a very stimulating and realistic experience.

Two words, high maintenance! Cleaning the Fleshlight after use can be a pain. You have to take the sleeve out of the plastic housing and make sure you wash the inside very thoroughly, otherwise it can get really gross! You also have to make sure that once you've finished washing out the sleeve, you have to dry it completely, which can be difficult to do. We found that if you just let it sit there to dry, it doesn't get completely dry, which can cause mold to grow inside. I suggest propping it up in front of a desk fan or some sort of fan and leaving it to sit for a couple hours or so, just to make sure it gets completely dry. After you make sure the sleeve has been dried, place it back inside the housing, then pat a little bit of cornstarch on the top to make it silky and smooth again. Not anything too difficult, but it can be a pain. Sometimes my husband decides not to use it because he just doesn't feel like going through the motions to cleaning it.

The packaging was really nice. It came in a nice storage tin, which had the Fleshlight, a sample packet of lube and some instructions. Over all, we really like the packaging. It was high quality and reusable.

Overall, my husband really enjoys the Fleshlight. Though it's definitely not like the real thing, it does comes close. Aside from cleaning it and it being a little noisy at times, it's pretty easy to use and it feels very realistic! Eventually, we plan on purchasing different sleeves for it.
