In the industry of adult novelties, the female is paramount. Stores are lined with toys catered to pleasing women; vibrating bullets, dildos, g-spot stimulators – you name it. Not much is left for the self-pleasuring male – but one product has taken the erotic market by storm. Meet the FleshLight; a silicone vagina alternative. Fleshlight offers various shapes, sizes and skintones for your “pleasuring” pleasure.

Shoppers are encouraged to build their own; with hundreds of combinations available – including a vibrating option. Start with your base/handle, then move to your orifice (choose from “lady,” “mouth,” or “butt”), then pick a texture. Textures vary from “original” and “very tight” to “super ribbed,” and “vortex”. Each texture presents a different sensation that can be intensified by the vibrating option.

Price points range from $42.00 (Amazon.com) to $55.00 (Fleshlight.com) with many including a discrete storage case to make travel easy and seamless. Reviews can be found here.

• How big is the Fleshlight?
  The Fleshlight is approximately 10 inches in length and 4 inches in diameter.
• Does it vibrate?
  The Fleshlight does not require batteries or electricity to function. However, the Fleshlight Vibro uses 3 Fleshlight Bullet vibrators to produce intense stimulation!
• Are Fleshlight sleeves made with latex or plastic or silicone?
  No. The Fleshlight material is a company secret covered by a series of US patents. No other sex products are built with the same feel and durability as the Fleshlight. Words can not explain this one of a kind product!
• Does the Fleshlight material contain phthalates?
  Phthalates are defined as “any of various salts or esters of phthalic acid used especially as plasticizers and in solvents.” There is quite a bit of controversy surrounding the use of phthalates in sex toys but Interactive Life Forms, Inc. is pleased to assure it’s customers that the Fleshlight material DOES NOT CONTAIN phthalates.
• How do I use the Fleshlight?
  Warm your Fleshlight sleeve by removing it from the case and soaking it in a sink/tub filled with warm water. If necessary, drain the water and repeat the process with new warm water. Do NOT boil or microwave your sleeve!Shake off the water and re-insert the sleeve into the Fleshlight case, adjust the tightness of the cap at the bottom to vary the suction, and finish by applying a liberal amount of lubricant to the orifice and yourself. If the Fleshlight still feels too cold to you, then next time try warming the lube in the sink/tub at the same time as the sleeve. The Fleshlight is now ready for use.
