Using the Fleshlight is extremely easy. Here is my perfect formula for success: Fleshlight + Lube = Awesome!!! You will definitely need to have some lube on hand when you use this toy. You will need to lube up the entrance, the inside of the 'tube' or 'sleeve', and also yourself. It doesn't hurt to use a little more lube than you need to, it will add to the pleasure and the sound effects.

You will most likely need to hold onto this toy during use. Although, there are now special pieces of furniture available to hold your Fleshlight during use. There have also been numerous stories of guys placing the Fleshlight in between mattresses, couch cushions, pillows, and even inside a shoe to keep it stationary while they thrust into it. It's small enough to be versatile if you get some ideas for placement.

The Fleshlight is made out a material called 'Superskin' this is a secret formula created by Fleshlight. It is very similar to Cyberskin. It does not really have a smell or taste. The Superskin is a velvety, soft, rubbery skin-like material, that does feel very realistic when in use. According to the property listing it is non-allergenic, latex free, and retains heat well.

The shape of the outer casing, is that of a giant over-sized flashlight. It does not look like a real flashlight, and I really don't think this look was meant to disguise it. While it maybe be significantly larger than your average flashlight, it is not really that big and should be easy enough to store discretely if necessary. The flashlight design however, is perfect for the use, storage, assembly (removable sleeves), and suction features of the Fleshlight.

The entire Fleshlight is actually made up of 4 pieces: The top cap on the large end (where the light would be on a flashlight), the body and main piece of the outer case, the bottom cap (where you put batteries in a flashlight), and of course the 'sleeve' insert. The bottom cap of the Fleshlight is designed to add / reduce suction while you use it. If you screw the cap the whole way shut, it creates suction. If you screw the cap open (or off) the whole way, there is no suction. It is easy enough to alter and adjust this, to achieve various degrees of suction, while you are using it.

Ok, now seriously... unless you are Blackzilla (who just might be too large... I am just guessing), the Fleshlight is perfect for anyone that has a penis. Whether you are new to sex toys, or if you have a whole floor of your house devoted to your sex toy collection, it's something that should be enjoyable for everyone.

Caring for your Fleshlight is pretty easy, especially since you are really limited as to how you can take care of it. First and for most, you can only use water based lube with your Fleshlight. You can only use warm water to clean your Fleshlight sleeve, you cannot use soap or toy cleaner. I do use soap on the plastic case, but you get the point here, the sleeve itself is very sensitive.

After your Fleshlight has been cleaned, you have to let it thoroughly dry before you put it away. If do not, you can end up with mold and weird smells, and no one wants that! Once the FL is cleaned and dried you can put it back in its sleeve, put the caps on, and place it in storage (preferably somewhere cool and dark).

If you notice that your FL is starting to get a little sticky or tacky, you can dust it with cornstarch (not talc or baby powder!). Also, if you occasionally find that you need a little more than warm water when cleaning, it is ok to use a little bot of isopropyl alcohol.

The Fleshlight is basically its own case. When I first got it, it was packaged inside a thick sealed plastic bag, that was inside a perfectly sized cardboard box. It came with a single serving sampler of ID Glide lube, and color pamphlet of other Fleshlight products. I later got to review a replacement sleeve and it came in one of those really cool looking cylindrical metal containers (picture the containers that a fancy bottle scotch comes in). I am pretty sure this what all of the FL products now come packaged inside. A touch of class :)
