This Fleshlight isn't made of silicone, latex, or plastic -- the material is patented. It's softer than I imagine it would be compared to other sleeves that I've felt. So it doesn't give as much resistance, which is a downside. You'll need to use a water based lubricant with it, and it's not recommended to be used with soap (if you were to shower with it, for example).

The sleeve comes in a black plastic case that's shaped like a flashlight. It's got a cap on the top (insertion point) and a cap on the bottom. The bottom cap adjusts the amount of suction you'll get when using the sleeve. Just tighten or loosen it to your own preferences. The cases are replaceable and come in different colors/styles.

It does make some noise, but because it doesn't vibrate, there's no buzzing sound. Just the normal sounds you'd hear during sex or foreplay.

Cleaning it is easy. Simply running water over and through the sleeve and case will suffice. You can also use warm water to warm up the sleeve because it can be a little cool when not in use. You can run warm water through it, or soak it in warm water for a bit. There are also sleeve warmers on the market, which are electric.

The toy is large, but the case keeps it discreet. When all closed up, it's highly unlikely that anyone would know what it was (unless they owned one themselves). It is larger than your typical flashlight, but most would assume that's what it is. And while it's large, it's not so large that you can't travel with it. It's also easy to hold and not so heavy that it's difficult to use.

The toy comes in a large tin canister and is shipped in a plain, cardboard box from "Web Merchants." It comes with a sample of lube and a pamphlet on care and other Fleshlight brand products.

I bought this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He'd been talking about it for a while, so I finally decided to go ahead and get it as a surprise. He tried it almost immediately and loves it.
