Best products from r/fleshlight

i'm from Australia and here are some tips from everything i've learned fleshlighting everyday

• its worth paying the extra for express shipping, it usually comes REALLY fast often the next day and you can check the tracking so you're able to intercept it at the door from whoever you live with
  
• it all comes in a completely plain brown cardboard box that's small/modest, big enough to fit 2 pairs of shoes in. Probably need to find a good excuse for the delivery, but to open you need scissors to cut the tape on the box. So for that reason nobody is "taking a peak" at what it is. preemptively tell them you're getting something mundane delivered and already have that laying around
  
• inside the brown box is the literally branded packaging for the products you will have to throw out discretely
  
• you should definitely buy quality lube do not buy lube like "wet stuff" brand which is really common in Australia, wet stuff is terrible for fleshlights. official Fleshlube is the best, lovehoneys one is decent. The more popular lube in america you'll see talked about is called "gunoil h20" but its not often sold here. brick and mortar stores in AU have mostly bad lube and the good stuff is overpriced
  
• There is an immediate and noticeable difference in lube quality, Don't buy 1 small bottle of lube, buy 3 large bottles of quality lube so that when you start to run out you have time to order another batch and pay less on shipping. quality lube is expensive but think of each bottles as X amount of fun tickets.
  
• using a sleeve without lube is NOT recommended
  
• cleaning is deeply discussed on this thread everyday and you'll find heaps of guides on it, although i choose to simply wash 2 sleeves and case everyday in the shower and put the rest dried in a plastic box. Think of cleaning your sleeve like brushing your teeth, you can hide the fleshlight inside your towel when you go to the bathroom, people generally don't bother you when you're getting naked
  
• do not put the big lid on when you're not using it, it seals up the fleshlight which can cause odors or bacteria quicker, store them in a large box with plenty of air without the lid on, try and wash them all every week
  
• heating plays a huge part in the experience, you can sit the sleeve in a container full of hot water, although you'll need a towel because you get water all over the place. You'll probably need a rag in general. The FL sleeve warmer under "accessories" on the fl store is about $50 AUD and is good value, it only heats up to a warm temperature and then turns off although if you leave it running, it will turn off/on and cycle in a loop keeping the sleeve warm, i have personally passed out drunk and found it still warming loop in the morning, so its kind of fire hazard safe, definitely don't forget about it though
  
• cold fleshlights aren't really a great time, even with the FL sleeve warmer your lube you pour in will cool down the warmth and you'll have a lukewarm experience, although its usually enough time to have a great time with it, lukewarm is 4 times as good as cold. For much longer sessions you have 2 fleshlights, one heating on the warmer and you swap mid session.
  
• Hot water buckets with a lid are great for this because you can have 4-5 or more sleeves in and just switch for new experience and warmth, this is much more costly on lube though and you have the added annoyance of concealing large volumes of water and finding a way to fill it with heated water discretely around room mates which is the added complication, but hot water is great.
  
• don't use boiling water as you could damage the sleeve and sometimes pockets really hot water can get stuck inside the sleeve and be a nasty surprise, although sometimes brief moments of pain can be stimulating in itself, but not great for the nerve endings as you get older (did this back in the day many years ago)
  
• warming the lube quickly in a microwave is really great although that warmth is quickly lost and you might leave in odor in the microwave and if your room mate catches you finding excuses is difficult
  
• to solve this you can buy a cheap heated coffee cup from ebay/china or a "lotion warmer" from asia or amazon that are used by massage professionals to heat the lube while you use the FL warmer or water to heat the fleshlight. The most premium lube warmer is this american thing that costs a lot and sells out all over the place. Using the hot water method is really fun, but the FL warmer will do fine and the water method will become too much effort in the long run and you wont use your toy as often. the good thing about the warmer on fleshlights AU site is it includes an australia wall plug. While its important to check if any other warmers you buy potentially overseas such as lotion warmers or coffee mugs ship with australian plugs.
  
• picking a sleeve to the size of your penis is important, measure your erect penis with a ruler app or ruler then use the measuring tool on fleshassist to figure out how much value you'll get out of the sleeve, if you open a sleeve page on fleshassist and hold your mouse over the texture picture it has a ruler function, this better allows you to study which parts of the sleeve you'll be hitting and what depths. The way the sensations translate from what you see in the picture to your actual penis are really different, destroya for example feels like you're pumping through hundreds of pleasure noodles, the ribs are floppy like ramen and rub you.
  
• The cheaper 30-50 dollar sleeves that aren't "fleshlight girls" that aren't 100 AUD products are made from a pink material that's lower quality that the "fleshlight girls" range and not mentioned in the advertising. These generally aren't as stimulating but can however be fun, the "choose your own" cheaper pink sleeve has a "cheeks" entry thats not in the fleshlight girls range that can be really fun to dip inside of. The downside is you can't buy quality sleeves less than 100 AUD and everyone you buy you get the plastic case every time meaning your collection becomes harder to store over time and eventually you have a collection worth thousands, you then have the task of cleaning and maintaining all of them. Generally any standalone product under the "sleeves" section is made of the pink material thats not as good.
  
• my personal recommendation is the "punk" anal fleshlight for daily use. Destroya is really fun but sometimes too much intensity, there is so much going on inside it you'll find it hard to relax, you cum too quickly, good for end of the day power cums.
  
• with any sleeve, even if you've lubed inside of it, its important to firstly lube yourself and under your foreskin, it might seem fun to push in dry but it doesn't help you conserve lube, you will use greatly less lube by making sure to lube yourself first
  
• make sure the cap at the end is very loose during the first half a minute or so of thrusting, if you tighten the cap right before use the air vaccum will push lots of the fresh lube to the top of the unit, even sometimes pouring out of the thread of the cap and you'll have to reapply too often, slowly tighten up a bit later and it applies better. adjusting the cap while your thrusting and finding the sweet spot of suction is a fundamental thing to experiment with each sleeve, more suction is not always better, trust your body and find the "just right" amount of suction
  
• be generous with the lube for your first week and you'll learn whats a little too much and whats too little over time
  
• a lot of the guides point out you need at least 5+ uses with a fleshlight to properly rate it, this is because it literally has a breaking in period. While i always thought this was exaggerated, it is absolutely not. Sleeves definitely have a breaking in period, some more than others.
  
  other suggestions:the bathmate hydromax is only like $30 AUD and gives you hugely insane erections, the kind of erections where you pre cum starts to ooze like a tap, your veins stick out and you're highly sensitive, the best time to use this is with a fleshlight 2.5 hours after your last orgasm. This way you can ride a sleeve for a long long time and ascend mentally.
  
  a cheap power timer from bunnings combined with the $48 warmer means you can set the warmer to turn on a certain time of the day with the fleshlight mounted on it, like the morning for example, its not exactly power hungry so you can have it warming for 2-3 hours before you wake up in the morning, pressing morning wood into a warm sleeve is a decent value for probably $60-70 for the setup
  
  lastly, oculusGO is a cheap VR unit you can get from amazon for flat $300 AUD with free delivery, it is well worth it as you can download 4k 3D content to your pc hard drives and stream to the oculusGO via wifi through your modem router with a free dnla app like Skybox. The immersion from this is fantastic and severely underrated. Personally i would argue that a VR unit is life changing. the GO has no wires of any kind meaning you can also use it to watch netflix on planes/camping. Both combined are fantastic as while you're wearing the GO unit, you're placed inside the porn and can't see your fleshlight or surroundings, only feel them.
  
  The final step of all this is the fleshlight launch and using community driven software and premium syncs from syncarmy.com although the barrier with this is that the launch unit is about as loud as a cannon printer so its hard to conceal and is $380
  
  once you have a routine, its truly a life changer, your mental health will improve.
  
  its worth saving for a fleshlight girl unit and spending extra on lube and the warmer is great value, otherwise you're stuck with water prep each time.

I love my Torque. I'd even call it underrated—by my own self. I keep forgetting about it and then rediscovering it. If all you've known so far has been a Quickshot, I think you're really going to be amazed by what full-length insertion in one of these feels like, and the Torque has a nice varied and progressive texture. What's especially fun is that since it's clear, you can see what each part of the texture is contributing to what you're feeling. You can get in there and really spend some time in each part and begin to appreciate the uniqueness and the variety of sensation. (This can also be fun during partner play. My experience was that once she understood which parts of the texture moving over which parts of me were making me gasp and squirm, she used that knowledge and the visual feedback strategically. Plus, the clear sleeve magnifies your dick. Who doesn't love that?) In fact, if you aren't long enough to feel all the way to the end, someday try taking the sleeve out of the case and using it that way so that you can go all the way. There's a little sample of an old texture called Ultra Ribbed at the very end. I can't reach it when the sleeve is in the case, but taking the sleeve out of the case so that I can spend some time in that zone has always been worth it. It really makes me want a full sleeve of that.

Another trick is to position the bulb of nubs, about 3.5" in (you'll see it) over one of your sweet spots and rotate it back and forth for some horizontal sensation. You can thank me later.

And finally, since you do already have a Quickshot, someday try using the both at the same time. You can unlock a ton of variety and discover a lot of new pleasurable sensations this way. I also sometimes like to "get there" with the Torque and then cum with the Quickshot. Sometimes a full-sleeve Fleshlight is too intense during an orgasm so I have to sort of just seize up and stay still. With the Quickshot, you can continue to stimulate with precision in just the right spot (just below the hypersensitive head) throughout the orgasm...sort of like when you jerk off, but with the sweetness of a Fleshlight sleeve.

As far as cleaning goes, yes, everything short of your own hand is going to be harder to clean and dry than a Quickshot, but it's well worth it for what it feels like. The good thing about the Torque, since it's clear though, is that you can see inside and make sure that you got everything out, which helps prevent you from cleaning it more than you need to. With Fleshlight sleeves, it's not so much the cleaning as it is the drying if you need to be discreet/secretive about your Fleshlight activities, and to that end, the Torque is a little better than average full-insertion sleeves as far as drying time goes. The entry is less restrictive and less obstructed than most of the anatomical entries, so you get decent airflow. A little USB fan like this one can speed drying considerably. If you need super secret speedy drying, you could get a rechargeable battery-powered fan (like one of these) and set it up to dry out of eyesight somewhere like up on a high shelf or at the top of your closet.

Enjoy!

Hey, glad you enjoy it. I will answer with how I do stuff but everyone has their own methods and you just need to get yours.

1 I got Gun Oil with a pump, I use 1 squeeze, you should adjust to your own preferred amount of lube, and squeeze it in the hole, I grab my two fingers, finger the sleeve make sure it's spreads nicely and don't forget about the lips either. The rest goes on the head of my penis, smear some one the shaft, my fingers are half the size of my gentleman(got small fingers) so it's not necessary to spread it all deep 9/10 times it goes in smoothly that 1/10th time just circle your fleshlight around to spread it.

Bonus bit:p since I'm shaven I like to smear in a circle around my gentleman so I can swirl my fleshlight around lol, but this is something you can skip of course.

2 I'm usually very lazy when it comes to this, I don't want to ruin the mood by getting my hand sticky and having to clean it mid session, so I just squirt a little bit inside the entry hole depending on how "wet" I want it to be, and just circle the fleshlight around at different depths if you overdid it with the amount of lube, you can use a towel to dry your penis.

3 I'm not familiar with Astroglide, but this one on amazon is the one the one they also sell on the mainsite, it's waterbased lube should be perfectly safe. But astroglide sells all kinds of different lube, like silicon and even with flavours, I suggest you avoid all special lubes and of course the oil and silicon ones as well if you ever have any question if a certain lube is safe, you can always ask here, better to be safe than sorry.

4 Cleaning, I just did my business, walking over to my sink, I wash my hands, I remove the sleeve, give it a thorough rinse with cold water after a while I start scrubbing the inside with my fingers, you can use both holes to enter. set the water to warm, apply fleshwash or isopropyl 70% and apply it while giving it a thorough scrub again with my fingers, after that I give it a good rinse with warm water, shake it to get most of the water out and let it dry. I use fleshwash almost after every use, and isopropyl before storing my fleshlight.

Now I'm going to start on the case, which is just like doing the dishes, grab a bowl of hot water, apply soap(never use soap on the sleeve btw) and scrub it down with my dedicated washing-up brush. you unscrew both top and bottom caps clean those, pop the ring off at the top, no worries fits only 1 way. and you make sure you pay extra attention on the threads, and there is a ring on the bottom of the inside that also needs some special attention. now dry it all with a dishcloth and assemble it again. once every 3 to 5 uses depending on time frame, I use isopropyl to thoroughly clean my cases.

Can't help you with hiding your sleeve while drying, maybe someone will come along with some tips and tricks.

5 Question do you have the bottom cap fully closed? cause Angel is a somewhat wider sleeve and shouldn't be tight it all, could also be that you use to little lube or a combination of the two or you were first in line when God handed out girth sizes.

What will help you cure DGS is abstaining from tight masturbation so no hand and no super tight sleeves, it's not about learning it's about fixing your nerve endings. lets say you wouldn't masturbate for a year that would fix your DGS, but there is no fun in that, so having a fleshlight that you can use while fixing your DGS is just win win.


if you got any other questions or need follow up just ask.

As far as "need" goes, that's it. Just make sure the lube is water based and unscented. Gun oil h2o seems to be the favorite around here, but there are cheaper options.

Here are the possibilities along with everything you should know beforehand...

Talc - It's gonna come sticky or get sticky over time. There are two options for getting rid of this. 100% pure talc is one of them and corstarch is the other.

https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Cup-Premium-Talcum-Powder/dp/B07N6MRWNB

ILF used to talc all sleeves until Johnson and Johnson got sued for using contaminated talc that caused ovarian cancer. This is a Johnson and Johnson problem and not a talc problem (hence the reason it's still for sale). Take an old sock and pour some in it. Use a good rubber band to keep it shut and dab the sleeve with it. A little bit of the powder will come out each time and get rid of the sticky. I also do the same thing with the fingers of a cheap clothe glove to do the inside of it. You might not need this as much with a pilot. If you choose to go the cornstarch route, you can do the exact same thing only you have to do it almost every time. Talc is a once every couple months type of thing.

70% Isopropyl alcohol - Basically rubbing alcohol only some have other ingredients in it. You don't want the other ingredients as it may hurt the sleeve.

https://www.amazon.com/70-Isopropyl-Alcohol-32-oz/dp/B0006Q0062

Currently sold out, but you can find it from their own online store. An empty spray bottle to put it in is a good idea too. Be careful if you go with an old one that had cleaner in it because the cleaner may have left a residue in the container that can mix with the alcohol and hurt your sleeve over time. This is for disinfecting once every month or two. Just give the inside a spray and rub all the different little nooks and crannies with it and let it dry. I know somebody who has been using these things for years and never done this, so.......Up to you. I paid 3 bucks for the alcohol and 1.5 for the spray bottle.

The only other real need I can think of is how are you gonna dry it? Anything fibrous leaves lint behind. Especially if you don't talc or cornstarch it. I tape a microfiber cloth for wiping sunglasses and tape it around a chopstick or a piece of a plastic coat hanger in a way that it wraps around it and enables me to push the cloth through and take out any excess water really quickly. Improves dry time immensely and is reusable. With a pilot, ou might not need the stick. Just the microfiber cloth might do the trick.

To let it finish drying, it's best to have it hanging vertically somehow. Taking a wire hanger and bending it in a way that you can slide it on it so it hangs up and down so any excess water can drip out is great and you can hang it in a closet or just about anywhere until it dries. One of the more important things about these is to NOT put it in the closed case while damp or wet. That moisture can lead to mold or mildew that pretty much means you have to toss it. That's also why even though I'm a talc user, I also have cornstarch. If I ever put a sleeve away for an extended period of time, I alcohol it to clean up anything that may be in there and it also makes it dry super fast. I then cornstarch it to absorb any moisture that might build up before next use. If this is your one and only, this is a bit of overkill. You'll probably be using it a lot and hence cleaning it a lot.

In closing, I talc sleeves about once every 6 months or so. They probably get the alcohol treatment once every couple months. You can do without these, but I recommend them. Especially the powder treatment (talc or cornstarch) and making sure it's dry before you put it away is very important. If for some reason you can't find a way to hang it up overnight in a closet, then maybe a small fan to blow it dry.

>Wanted to know if Argo Corn Starch is safe to use?

Any corn starch is safe as long as it's just corn starch.

>I have safety concerns about sanitation, but to warm and clean my fleshlight, is using my restroom sink clean? I know it's the most common method everyone uses but I don't know if I'm just being paranoid with using an area where people spit in and brush their teeth in.

It doesn't actually have to go into the sink or onto any surfaces. Just hold it in your hands while cleaning it (eg, I use disposable vinyl gloves). And I have bus tub in case I need to set it down.

Just use common sense.

>Also I don't have a fan or the likes to dry my fleshlight, would I be fine with just leaving it out to try? Time isn't an issue for me to dry, but many posts I've seen it seems like a fan is an essential to drying out your FLs.

A fan isn't essential. It just speeds up the air drying process. Using decent quality paper towels should make it 98% dry. After than you can air dry it with or without a fan.

>Is it advised to turn your fleshlight inside out to clean and dry? I've seen very mixed responses to this.

It's completely unnecessary. And it can overstretch the material which can damage the sleeve.

Cleaning and maintaining a fleshlight is a lot easier than people make it out to be. Just use common sense and don't over complicate things.

Probably what has happened is that it got put away without being completely dry. I always wash my hands and dry them before I inspect them. I stick a finger from both ends and really "finger" the inside until I am confident that I know it is completely dry.

As for drying I have constructed 3 of these.

https://forums.fleshlight.com/forum/fleshlight/fleshlife/36236-flesh-dryer-with-fan-and-basic-3-in-pvc-sanitary-tee-simple-to-make-and-use.

In that picture he has his case inside it, I dry mine with the insert inside as the air gets around the outside and drys that too.

Easy to make, the pvc pipe from a hardware store, 4 eyelets, cable ties, the fan is an AC Multifan S1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation-Computer/dp/B00G059G86

The fan is great, 3 settings, really fast flow of air. You can daisy chain up to 4 more fans off one plug, as it has an inline connection.

For my construction I had to remove the feet and guard on the air outflow. I used a small drill bit to get the eyelet in the pvc case. Cable tie up and then your off to go drying!

For me the fan attached makes it a bit top heavy so I placed a bit of packing material that comes in the fan box to help prop it up. As the fleshlight is inside the pvc pipe, due to it being on a flat surface it creates a natural suction forcing the air to go upwards drying the FLG.

I've not timed it, but the more complicated sleeve will take longer. I dried three sleeves, crush, gauntlet and heavenly, took less than 24 hours, I left them to dry overnight and went to work and dry when got home to put away. Setting was on max for all three.

You could if you were in a rush to dry one sleeve is to use 2 of the pvc pipes slotted into each other to air blast!

Hope this helps.

If I get a moment I'll post a picture and also update the time if I can!

I also have the primal, it does have the 2 lotus nodes and a load of nodules that will trap water like no end! Using the contraption will help.

I just got the fleshlight ice recently too, and ya it was super sticky but I read that if you dust the outside with plain cornstarch it helps.

i tried it - and it makes the outside feel smooth as silk. used it three times this morning before i rolled out of bed ha, love this clear one cause its hot to see ur cock all up in it filling it with jizz.

actually I just found this, says it's just cornstarch tho, so save your money and just go to the grocery store:
https://www.fleshlight.com/product-care/fleshlight-renewing-powder/

ps. this stuff makes the best lube, they sell it at some sex shops too:
https://www.amazon.com/Jorvet-J0109-J-Lube-Obstetrics-10-Ounce/dp/B006G2S17A

Alright, I had the same problem recently and I will let you know what I did. First, mold can be hard to keep off the fleshlights in certain areas but as long as you keep it as dry as possible you should be good, for future reference. You could buy the fleshwash stuff which is basically just a mild soap. What I did was I took some regular handsoap and lathered the outside of the fleshlight and that was the only method I tried that actually made any difference. Just put some soap on the outside run water over it or your hands and lather it as if you're washing your hands. I tried regular water and alcohol before this and handsoap was the only thing that actually got the mold off. After you do that, you should wash it with rubbing alcohol or soak it for a little bit to kill off any remaining spores. I highly suggest you buy a new one but this method will keep it clean in the mean time. The biggest thing you need to do is make sure you have it completely dry before putting it back in the case, make sure the case is dry as well. You could invest in making a simple drying box. What I did was I used an old shoebox and cut a small square on one side and a smaller exhaust square on the other. Then I bought one of these. When I finish using it, I rinse it out as good as possible, put a very small amount of alcohol through the instert and put it in my drying box. I clip the fan on a small table I use on the end of the box and run it for a few hours. It's very quiet and it is the quickest method I've used to dry the fleshlight as thoroughly as possible. Hope this helps, good luck.

I wouldn't hesitate another second on that Launch purchase imo :)

If you have a builtin Bluetooth in your PC (4.0 and BLE (Low Energy) version at least iirc which is most newer bluetooths devices) then you are good to go.
But for the best experience for smoothest playback and little to no stutter I would recommend a separate USB Bluetooth dongle with USB 2.0 (not 3.0) extension to place the bluetooth as near as possible to the Launch when in use with Scriptplayer.

Any less expensive ones on Amazon should do nicely

This is one I am using:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XTS21ZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not attractive.

​

Put into perspective, sitting back in a recliner, legs spread.

Top layer of foam has a half-circle cutout the same size as the launch. Rounded the protruding edges a bit.

Bottom layer is set back a bit. I decided to make the overall thing a bit big to start with so it would hold the launch well. Might shrink it some as i fine tune it.

The whole thing sits flat on the recliner in front of me and holds the unit at the right position, it never falls over or has problems.

​

Currently I sit it on one end of a towel, facing me and lay the other end over the top and it provides a complete towel cover for the brace. Was working out the fine tuning of it before I attempt to make a vinyl cover for it.

My next thing after making a cover is to see if I can add velcro on the rounded inner and put some on the launch so it can be positioned to ride a bit higher than against the pubic bone. Currently I use a rolled up hand towel to raise it.

​

I have a few other things I've done. Some case modes and suction mods. Was half-debating posting some "Boggleby's Tips" kind of posts but wasn't sure if anyone would care.

​

Anyway here's the foam brace (2 views) the black stuff along one edge isn't dirt or muck, it's where I used a pen to mark the cut. :)

This lube injector works great :

https://www.amazon.com/Cleanstream-AC221-XL-Lubricant-Launcher/dp/B008ASBIU0

Just fill it up, push it all the way to the back of the sleeve (or however far you normally go) and slowly pull it out while depressing the plunger. One shot is enough for most sleeves, although you may want at least half another shot in the first half of some of the more textured or tight sleeves.

Squirt a little extra on the orifice and you are ready to rock.

I have five year old sleeves that look and feel exactly like the day I took them out f the box. My routine? I run really hot water through it to clean it for about two minutes, let it air dry without caps overnight and powder it with cornstarch about once a week (except the clear ones). But then, I have about a dozen and rotate them out even though I have favorites. If you are using one sleeve more than an hour a day, then that might be the problem. Use a LOT of water based lube. I go cheap and make my own by the pint from J-Lube. But if you prefer using no or low lube, that may be your problem. I use a lot of lube, but when I want more friction, I just tighten the cap.
