The packaging is a bit tricky if you're looking for something discreet. Upon receipt, it's inside of a rather large and very metal container, with naked women and the product placement all over the can. Good luck hiding that if you're living with your parents or in a dorm room if you want to keep the tin.

Inside the tin, it contains the Fleshlight STU, promotional papers and documentation on usage and care, sample lubricant, and complimentary packaging cardboard to prevent the STU from moving around inside and getting dinged up.

The STU itself is glossy black, in resemblance of a Flash Light (Hence the name "Fleshlight". The only thing disserning this from a flashlight and what it really is, is the lack of a bulb, batteries, "FLESHLIGHT" printed in raised letters on the plastic, the SuperSkin insides that resembles a vagina on one end and has little bulbs on the inside of the sleeve. Oh, and did I mention it has "FLESHLIGHT" printed on the side with raised letters on the plastic? It's black on black, so it's not that obvious, but one good shine from light and catching the letters may set off a few people.

If you're going for discreet, this is not really the best choice unless you know where to hide it.

The only real plus for that, is that it's black. Given, a glossy black, but black regardless. Stuff it in a dark corner of your dresser, closet, toy chest, and you may even forget it exists because it's that black.

Be glad it's not GOLD like a select few other Fleshlights on this website..Eheheh.

That given, keeping it wide-side down gives it the look of a flashlight and as long as the letters are pointed away from obvious view, it's pretty well a flashlight.

The inside core is made out of SuperSkin. A material that is supposed to replicate real human skin, down to it's softness. The wide-end resembles that of a vagina. Inside the sleeve from the factory packaging, it has a plastic tube to keep the inside of the sleeve from sticking to itself.

The sleve's texture resembles that of bumps. Soft bumps that run up and down the inner shaft of the sleeve. More of this in my experience with it.

Ok. So the black case separates into three portions. There's the two end caps, and the container if one will.

The wide-end cap conceals the working-end of the STU, while the narrow cap can be adjusted for suction depending on how tight or loose the cap is from the container. The container, of course, houses the sleeve.

Well, what does one do with a masturbator sleeve that looks like a vagina? I think it's obvious. Lube up the sleeve, slip your penis in, and move your arms. If you don't get the science in male masturbation, you're probably too young.

The sleeve itself is made out of SuperSkin, a kind of silicone. Do NOT use silicone or oil-based lubricants as it will literally turn your (at the moment priced at $70) plastic-with-flesh-light-center masturbator into a $70 puddle of silicone. Just. Saying.

My initial reaction with this was that, it's a bit too soft. I could hardly feel the bumps pressing against my member as I was using it. Maybe someone else may have a different feeling about this, but this is just me with several other lubes varying from thicker consistency, to slippery, to head-tingling.

A note on the STU's text : If you can last 10 minutes in the STU, you can last 20 minutes in bed with anyone. (Quote pulled from their main website.

If the ad proclaims to do what it suggests, I've lasted well over an hour. So that means I'll last two hours? Better grab the Red Bull and keep pumping.

The unit itself is rather heavy, at times requiring two hands or switching off to use it.

The suction is actually pretty good. The only downfall, is that the tighter the end cap is to the container, the higher the suction. The higher the suction, the more, and louder, it makes a whistling noise as air presses past the crevice between the cap and the container. Rather awkward if you want to use it and you're trying to be discreet about it.

Overall experience : For one of my first-time toys, it was not the best choice. Too soft, too squeaky when using high suction (which seemed to be the only way to get me off after rigorous pumping), and too heavy. Try again next time Fleshlight.
