Fleshlights

Fleshlight is a brand name of male masturbatory aids, made in the shape of a flashlight. So if you were wondering what the term Fleshlight meaning was, that’s where it comes from. The toys are made to simulate the feeling of vaginal, anal or oral sex, when the user inserts their penis and moves it up and down. Since the original Fleshlight launched in 1997, it has become the most popular male sex toy on the market, and there is now a wide range of types and styles available, including vibrating Fleshlights for men.

There is no real right or wrong way to use one, as every Fleshlight user will discover their own preferred technique through experimentation. However, here are a few tips:

• Warm It Up – If it’s cold, you may want to warm the device up before using it, to give it a more authentic feel. However, it’s important to ensure that you do so in a safe way that won’t damage the device, or cause a fire hazard. We recommend placing the inner sleeve inside a waterproof vessel such as a carrier bag or plastic tub, and floating it in a bowl of warm (but never boiling hot) water for a few minutes.
• Use Lube – While it isn’t technically essential, the majority of users find that using lube makes the experience easier and more pleasurable. However, if is important to make sure that you always choose a water-based lubricant, as oil-based formulas can cause the SuperSkin material to degrade over time. Apply the lube liberally to both your penis and the inside and entrance of the sleeve, for best results.
• Experiment With Techniques – In exactly the same way that you can have sex in different positions, you can also use your Flesh Light toy in different positions. Whether you’re laying down, sitting, standing, have your eyes closed, or you’re watching porn, simply push your penis inside the entrance and trust it in and out, while gripping the handle.

Cleaning and maintaining your Fleshlight properly is essential, for 2 reasons:

• To avoid skin and yeast infections that can be caused by bacteria and mould that can grow inside the toy, if bodily fluids aren’t removed after use
• To prevent the inner sleeve material from breaking down and become unusable, which can happen if it is stored with bodily fluids, lube, or water inside it

Step 1 – Remove the inner sleeve from the case, and run warm (not too hot) water through it to clean out any remaining fluids.

Step 2 – Apply a specialist sex toy cleaner if you want to make sure that the device is completely free of any residue, but never a cleaner that contains soap or detergents, as they can deteriorate the Fleshlight sleeve material.

Step 3 – The outer case, can then be washed with warm soapy water.

Step 4 – After cleaning the sleeve and case, shake off any excess water and allow them to air dry. Alternatively, you can dry them with a lint free cloth. This is a crucial step, as putting it away while still wet, can cause mould to grow and the SuperSkin material to deteriorate.

Step 5 – When the sleeve has completely dried, apply some sex toy refresh powder. while this isn’t essential, it will help maintain its skin-soft texture and stop it from feeling tacky.

Step 6 – Pop the sleeve back inside the case and it is ready to be stored.

The inner sleeve of the toy, is crafted from a material known as SuperSkin, a unique and patented formula, which is phthalate free.

We would always recommend that your only use water-based lubricants, as other types, especially oil-based lubricants, can degrade the SuperSkin material over time. 

When purchasing sex toys online, privacy is a major concern. Reputable sex toy shops understand this and ensure discreet shipping to protect your privacy. All of our products are shipped in unbranded, plain packaging, so your postman, neighbours and other members of your household, will be completely unaware that your package contains a Flesh Light.
