What’s the best way to introduce something new into an already great male masturbation sleeve? Adding vibration might be one of the first answers that comes to mind, and that is exactly what Fleshlight has done.

If you aren’t familiar with Fleshlights, they are a Superskin sleeve encased in a hard plastic casing. Fleshlight has taken a few of their most popular styles and added three holes around the exterior of the sleeve, and included bullets that can be inserted into each hole. They didn’t just include one or two bullets either, they included three. Each of these bullets uses three watch style batteries. Fleshlight is also nice enough to not only include batteries in each bullet but they also provide ten more batteries so when the first set runs out you’ve already got a replacement set on hand. This is good because it takes a while to turn the bullets on and off. As with all Fleshlights, there is a screw cap on the exit end that can be screwed or unscrewed to adjust suction on the out stroke.

As with all Fleshlights, the interior sleeve is made from their proprietary material, Superskin. No one outside the company knows what this material really is because it's a patented secret. That patent seems to be working very well, though, because Fleshlights continue to be big sellers. The feel of Superskin is amazingly realistic, if not a little too soft. That's where the plastic casing comes into play. It gives the Fleshlight some rigidity to push against. The total package makes for great masturbation sessions.

The interior texture for this particular Fleshlight is the original. This means that it doesn't have any bumps or ridges once you get past the opening. Although this may not provide as much stimulation as some of the other interiors, it may represent the most realistic interior feel of the bunch.

The opening on this Fleshlight is called Lady, because it is a representation of a shaved vulva. The realism of this representation is very good and helps with the visual experience. Where size is concerned, the exterior of this Fleshlight is exactly the same size as all other Fleshlights, and the opening is exactly the same as the Original Lady. The stretchiness of the material means that is should be able to accommodate most guys out there without a problem.

The cases for the Vibro series Fleshlights are an exclusive gunmetal gray and say Vibro on the outside, so there should be no mistaking it with other Fleshlights you might have in your collection. This also means that a clear sleeve and case (Ice series) are out of the question, but the bullets would get in the way of the visual experience any way, so that's okay.

The sleeve is held in the casing by a plastic ring that fits securely into the mouth of the casing. In order to get to the holes for the bullet vibes, it is necessary to pull the sleeve out of the casing. The holes face away from the opening and the bullets are easily slid in and out of their holes. It is probably easiest to turn the bullets on before inserting them into the holes because the stretchiness of the Superskin material can make it difficult to push the buttons on the bullets once they are in place.

Once the desired number of bullets are on and in place, slide the sleeve back into the casing and you're ready to rock. This isn't the most elegant of vibrating solutions, but it seems to work okay and maintains the overall Fleshlight design. It seems like having stationary vibrators wired into a sleeve with a switch on the outside (like a flashlight) would be fun, but keeping that system waterproof and easy to maintain might be difficult.

The bullets seem to be high quality. The batteries are held in a plastic sleeve presumably to keep them from vibrating inside the bullet which reduces noise. This seems to work pretty well as they are quieter than most. They each have a rubber o-ring to keep water out of the internals. Bullets utilizing the larger ‘N' size battery might be preferred, but these are decent bullets.

Water based lubricant is the only kind allowed to prevent damage to the Superskin material of the sleeve. Superskin is very porous, so it shouldn't be shared with any one you are not fluid bonded with (most people don't want to share a Fleshlight any way). The Superskin material may deteriorate if even soap is used on it, and non-water based lubricants generally don't wash off well without soap; so this is another reason to stay with water based lubricants.

Also, make sure to keep the Fleshlight sleeve in an area with some air flow so it can dry completely after cleaning or it may begin to grow mold. This means that storage in the shipping container after cleaning is not a good idea. Deeper cleaning can be achieved with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol which will remove mold as well. Corn starch application on the sleeve will restore the original texture of the Superskin if it begins to feel sticky.

Fleshlight's are generally very well packaged and the Vibro series is no exception. The Fleshlight is meant to look pretty inconspicuous as the casing resembles a large flashlight. For shipping and sales, the entire Fleshlight is held inside a cylindrical metal case with the bullets and extra batteries. The tin makes it perfect for gift giving, and while it might be hard to imagine that there are a lot of Christmas trees out there where a wrapped Fleshlight will seem normal, they definitely make it easy to do.

This represents my fourth Fleshlight, but my first with the original interior. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be stimulating enough, but that didn't end up being a problem. The other interior textures might be more stimulating, but this one seemed very realistic to me and made for a longer session. Sometimes you just want to get in and get done and other times you just want to take it slow. This interior might be better for just taking it slow.
