Since the production of our original Fleshlight deep-dive review video, in which the Fleshlight shopping experience was demonstrated, Fleshlight has changed their website and overall shopping experience. The Build Your Own page is still a great way to explore their textures, but it no longer (or currently) does not feature the texture descriptions as was shown in our video. You can still find the descriptions by running a search on their site for the texture, which will take you to pages for sleeves which feature the texture. Alternatively, all the textures currently in the Build Your Own tool are listed below, along with their texture descriptions.
Which Fleshlight texture is available in which sleeve configuration?
Barracuda |
 |
| Available as: | Description from site: The Barracuda texture is a gripping battery of unmatched pleasure. As you enter the sleeve, you will start with a subtle resistance of front facing bristles. A thick passage way then follows into a massaging grip-like feel as you are rubbed and tugged to relief. |
Destroya |
 |
Available as:
|
Description from site: Upon entry, three small rings of bumps will grasp you tightly, followed by the ultra piercing pleasure dome that will give you 360 degrees of unmatched bliss. The next chamber starts with a small row of teeth and fangs that delightfully rub and pull at you. Finally, one row of large bumps leads into a super-ribbed texture that narrows the farther you get inside. Read the Destroya review. |

……Anyone try the “Original” sleeve? That is the straight one inch tube, with no bumps, lumps, ridges, nubbins or other extra stuff. Anyone try the “Super Tight” sleeve, another smooth, untextured tube, but 1/2 inch diameter? I ask, because I wonder if those smooth sleeves could be used as therapy, for guys who cannot get to orgasm, because loss of sensitivity from circumcision or other injury.
……It IS possible to last too long. That is a form of impotence, that is difficult to treat.
……On the same subject, I wonder if playing with the sleeves that have all those extra, complicated contours, might eventually CAUSE loss of sensitivity. A guy could get so accustomed to copulating with that hyper-textured space-alien cunt, that he might not enjoy a female human, any more. He might eventually be unable to reach orgasm, with a human female.
……Anyone experience that? Or considered the possibilities?
……I wonder if a good playtime strategy might be to use the straight and smooth tube when you start out with a full sack of seed, and need to hold back, and train yourself to delay. After releasing a load or two, more intense sensations will be needed, to get to the finish line. At that point, you might sparingly use the more ornately, and baroquely textured sleeves. Anyone try that? Might that reduce the risk of loss of sensitivity, by reducing contact with the more intensely contoured sleeves? As well as training you how to respond to the plain-Jane, un-textured tube?
…….I don’t have any of these sleeves, in any brand. Just contemplating the possibilities.
……Thanks, In Bed Staff, for your interesting and thought-provoking articles.
I think there is definitely merit to some of these observations. The company sells a model that they call the STU, short for Stamina Training Unit, and the idea of it is to help guys to last longer during intercourse by building up a tolerance to a volume of pleasure that is actually above what you feel during intercourse by using the STU. I recently tried the STU and I can confirm that it delivers an incredible amount of pleasure all at once. I struggle to last more than 90 seconds with it. Granted, there’s a lot more that goes on during sex—both mental and physical—beyond just friction around the genitals that contributes to the overall pleasure of the experience, but strictly in terms of stimulation of the genitals, yes, some Fleshlights go above and beyond. And, for guys who struggle to maintain stamina in bed with their partners, something like the STU has great potential to help them last longer in bed. On the other hand, I believe the converse is true&mash;if you are having problems with death grip or are having trouble being sexually responsive in general, perhaps you would want to forgo the more intense models for now.
My recommendation for best first Fleshlight, is a somewhat mild, but more realistically stimulating Mini Lotus.
It is more of a series of contours rather than exotic textures, and so while it provides an amazing upgrade over your hand, it’s still a relatively natural sensation a and it’s also not so stimulating that you’re going to have trouble acclimating to intercourse.
Have your try the speed bump use on the Fleshlight STU. Does it really improve guy stamina as it claims ?
Yes, the review is being worked on right now. The STU is powerful…strong medicine. I don’t doubt that it can help. I developed great control just from using the Mini Lotus regularly, and the STU is even more intense. I think it’s best for a really bad case of premature ejaculation, while any of the Fleshlights will help with stamina to some degree. Look for the STU review soon. Thanks for the comment!
I was reading through your latest review and decide to check out some older posts also. This comment is prescient as my wife and I were recently just discussing her request for me to try practicing more with our Fleshlights to help increase my stamina. I am curious to get your review on the STU vs other textures also. My wife really wants me to be able to hold out longer before I come during intercourse so I can push her over the edge into her orgasm first. From what I read the STU might be better at that training than other textures. Would love to hear from you guys on that!
I actually bought an STU over a year ago for a review and have started writing the review but haven’t finished it. I was literally just thinking how I need to get back to work on it because it’s one of four reviews that are sort of on pause because we got too busy with other stuff. I’ll give you the short version of my conclusion so far though, which is that the way I’ve been feeling it, the STU is no joke. To paint a picture, I’m married, get sex on the regular, am very sexually experienced, already have great control in bed, and I’ve got this side gig where I get to try different sex toys made for guys and write about it. So, I’ve already got some stamina and am no stranger to stuff that feels really, really good. Yet despite all of that, the longest that I’ve been able to last with the STU without being totally overwhelmed by a wall of pleasure is 90 seconds. That’s a minute and a half. The texture looks extremely simple and I really didn’t expect it to be that big a deal, but to me, it feels like a relentless wall of pleasure even if I try to go as slow as possible.
I can’t say whether or not it has affected my own stamina because I have, as a matter of fact, been using the STU as only an occasional treat rather than with any regularity because I’m actually afraid it will give me the opposite problem—delayed ejaculation, or more stamina than I want, if that makes sense. I honestly think a better evaluation would be to find like…five or six guys who actually have a true issue with premature ejaculation, give them STUs, and check back in with them a month or so later for a report.
I will say that I think one of the reasons that I have great control/stamina in bed as it is right now is thanks in large part to using a Fleshlight for masturbation more often than not, so I do believe that even more natural-feeling Fleshlights can certainly help with stamina. So to me, it stands to reason that if a guy has been using some less intense Fleshlights and is still struggling with stamina issues, an upgrade to the STU could help.
Hope that helps. I’ll come back and update when the real review is done, but the above is pretty much the crux of it.
Thanks so, so much for the feedback! We have several Fleshlights, and I recently bought a shower mount, so maybe I need to try using them on a more regular basis now (with a realistic texture), and see what happens. My wife loves using the clear one on me during foreplay, but that is more for fun than real training.
I know it was difficult for her to bring this issue up with me. I now know she has been feeling a bit frustrated by my performance during that type of sex, so I now want to try and improve that for her.
I would not say I have the classic PE, as I can last a long time in bed. It is more the fact that it takes very prolonged and aggressive lovemaking for her to have an orgasm from intercourse alone. It has happened on occasion for us (many times in the past with her old boyfriends), and I think we both want to try and make that happen more often for us. Your help on this website is appreciated.
I really hope there will be an article about experiences with these different kinds of textures. I’ll value that more than just these descriptions.
Thanks for the information though, I came here to fond out more about the fleshlight and I did.
Thanks! There are plans to increase the coverage of the different kinds of textures. Thanks for your comment and your interest.
My problem is that they use the exact same phrase to describe two of the sleeves, making me not believe any of them. The Mini Lotus and the Wonder Wave. ??? The phrase is “Our best selling textured masturbation sleeve “. How can they BOTH be their best selling sleeve?
My guess is that each one was the best-selling texture at a different point in time and they’ve never gone back to revise the copy. The Wonder Wave was their very first textured sleeve and was introduced very early on. So, it probably was the best-selling at one time. Then, I don’t know how many years later—but several—they introduced the Lotus and then, shortly after, the Mini Lotus. So, the Mini Lotus has probably become the best-selling sleeve since then. That’s one of the reasons why I chose to compare and review those two in our original Fleshlight Deep-dive Review—if they’d both been best-sellers, those are the ones I wanted to try. And for what it’s worth, my preference is the Mini Lotus. If I had to give up all but one, the Mini Lotus is the one I’d keep. I’d be willing to bet that in the past few years, it has been the true best seller.
