At Spafe, we’re all about cranking up the fun. Why settle for ordinary when you can have extraordinary?

The Fleshlight is like the secret sauce to your solo sessions, turning the mundane into the insane. Think about it: if you’re going to enjoy some quality time with yourself, why not make it the best time ever?

What is a Fleshlight?

Glad you asked! Think of it as a super-soft and pliable tunnel of love, designed to take your solo sessions from zero to hero.

Here’s the deal: Fleshlights are crafted to ramp up the male masturbation game. Picture this – a cozy, inviting sleeve made from a material called SuperSkin. Why’s it so special, you wonder? Because it’s crafted to feel almost eerily similar to human skin. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill rubber; it’s high-tech stuff designed to mimic the real thing.

But wait, there’s more. The beauty of the Fleshlight lies in its variety. With textures that range from smooth and gentle to wild and intense, it’s all about personalising your pleasure.

Want the feel of a real-life vajayjay? Done.

Craving something a bit more backdoor? You got it.

Or maybe you’re after an out-of-this-world sensation that’s entirely its own thing. Whatever your preference, the Fleshlight’s got an insert for it.

Designed for discretion, the Fleshlight’s outer casing looks pretty mundane – kind of like a beefed-up flashlight (get it, Flesh-light?). This means you can keep it by your bedside without giving Aunt Edna a heart attack when she’s over for the holidays. It’s your secret weapon for pleasure, hidden in plain sight.

And here’s where it really shines – the interchangeable inserts. Whether you’re fantasizing about your favorite adult film star or just exploring different sensations, the Fleshlight lets you swap out its silky innards for a whole new experience every time. It’s about as close as you can get to the real deal, with the added bonus of never needing to buy dinner first.

In short, the Fleshlight isn’t just a toy; it’s a ticket to a pleasure-packed adventure. It’s all about taking your self-love to the next level. So, are you ready to join the club?

Choosing the Right Fleshlight:

Picking out the perfect Fleshlight can be as exciting as it is bewildering, given the smorgasbord of options out there. But fear not, because we’re here to guide you through the maze and help you nail down the one that’s just right for you.

Alternatively, you can skip all this and head straight to our comparison and round up of the best fleshlights available in Australia right now.

First things first, it’s all about the texture. Each Fleshlight has its own unique inner landscape, from gentle waves to wild ridges. It’s like choosing between a smooth jazz solo or a rock concert in your hand. Are you into something subtle, or are you chasing the thrill of intense sensations? The textures vary from realistic to mind-bendingly exotic, so there’s something for every taste.

Then, let’s talk orifices. It’s not just about looks; it’s about the feel. The Fleshlight range includes everything from the classic lady parts to more adventurous options. Each offers a different experience, so think about what gets your motor running.

Size matters too, but not like you might think. It’s about how much space you’ve got to play with. If you’re a globe-trotter looking for a travel-friendly option, the Fleshlight Go or the Flight models are your go-to. For those who prefer a fuller, more immersive experience, the classic size is your best bet.

And let’s not forget about material. The patented SuperSkin material used in Fleshlights is famed for its lifelike feel. But hey, if you’re curious about something different, explore options like the clear sleeves for a visual treat.

Finally, think about special features. Some Fleshlights come with added vibrations or even pair with VR and adult content for an interactive experience. Are you into tech and gadgets? Then these high-tech toys might just be what you need.

In summary, choosing the right Fleshlight is about matching your personal preferences with the right texture, size, orifice, and special features. It’s a personal journey into pleasure, so take your time and find the one that promises to take you to new heights of bliss.

Preparation for Use

Before diving into the blissful world of Fleshlights, a little prep work is key. Here’s how to set the stage for an unparalleled experience:

Lubrication is Essential

First up, lube. It’s not just a suggestion; it’s a must. But not all lubes are created equal when it comes to Fleshlights.

You’ll want to stick to water-based lubricants. Why? They’re safe for the Fleshlight’s material and easy to clean.

Plus, they mimic natural moisture pretty darn well, making your experience smooth and enjoyable. Avoid silicone or oil-based lubes, as they can degrade the SuperSkin material.

Warm it Up

Ever heard the phrase ‘warm up the engine’? The same applies to Fleshlights. Warming your Fleshlight before use isn’t just a nice extra – it’s a game-changer.

It makes the SuperSkin feel even more lifelike. You can soak it in warm water for a few minutes or use a Fleshlight Warmer for a more consistent temperature.

Just make sure it’s not too hot – think comfortable bath water temperature.

Set the Scene

Your environment matters too. Make sure you’re in a comfortable, private space where you can relax and enjoy the experience without interruptions. This might mean locking the door, dimming the lights, or whatever else helps you get in the mood.

With these preparations in place, you’re not just using a Fleshlight; you’re creating an experience. So, take the time to do it right, and you’ll be amazed at how much more enjoyable your session can be. Let’s move on to the next step: diving into the actual use of your Fleshlight.

How to Use a Fleshlight

Now that you’re prepped and ready, let’s get down to business. Here’s our 10 step-by-step guide on how to use your Fleshlight for maximum pleasure:

1. Apply Lubricant

Before you start, it’s crucial to apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant. Lubrication is essential for a comfortable and pleasurable experience. It reduces friction, allowing your penis to glide smoothly inside the Fleshlight. Without sufficient lube, the sensations may be less enjoyable, and there’s a higher risk of discomfort or irritation.

2. Position It Right

Once you’ve prepared your Fleshlight and lubricated your penis, find an appropriate setup. You can choose to hold the Fleshlight in your hand, which gives you complete control over the experience. Alternatively, if you prefer a hands-free experience, consider using accessories like the Fleshlight Launch or Shower Mount. These accessories provide stability and allow you to enjoy the sensations without the need for manual manipulation.

3. Insertion

Gently guide your erect penis into the welcoming opening of the Fleshlight. It’s essential to approach this step with care and patience.

The initial contact with the Fleshlight’s soft and realistic material can be incredibly arousing. Take your time to savour the lifelike sensations as you penetrate deeper into the sleeve. Remember that the goal is to maximise your pleasure and enjoyment.

4. Control the Sensation

The beauty of using a Fleshlight lies in the control it offers. Experiment with different strokes, speeds, and depths to discover what feels most pleasurable to you. Some users prefer slow and sensual movements, while others enjoy a faster pace.

By adjusting your technique, you can tailor the experience to match your desires and fantasies. The Fleshlight is designed to adapt to your preferences, ensuring a satisfying encounter every time.

5. Enjoy the Ride

Once you’ve found your rhythm and the sensations are building, allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience.

The textured interior of the Fleshlight is expertly designed to stimulate and pleasure you with each stroke. As you move your penis in and out, you’ll encounter varying levels of intensity and tightness, replicating the sensations of real sexual penetration. Relax and let the Fleshlight do its magic.

6. Experiment with Angles

To enhance your experience further, don’t hesitate to experiment with different angles and positions. You can gently rotate or tilt the Fleshlight to explore new sensations.

These subtle adjustments can lead to unique and delightful experiences. By being open to trying various angles, you’ll unlock the full potential of your Fleshlight and keep your sessions exciting.

7. Use Your Imagination

Your mind plays a significant role in the pleasure you derive from using a Fleshlight. Allow your fantasies to run wild as you use your imagination to enhance the experience. Picture your favorite scenarios or erotic fantasies to intensify the sensations.

You can also choose to watch erotic content or read stories that align with your desires. The combination of physical stimulation and mental arousal can create unforgettable moments.

8. Edging

If you wish to prolong your pleasure and explore heightened sensations, consider practicing edging. Edging involves bringing yourself close to orgasm and then deliberately slowing down or stopping before reaching the climax.

This technique allows you to build sexual tension and experience more intense orgasms when you eventually let go. Edging can be a thrilling way to extend your Fleshlight sessions and make them even more gratifying.

9. Clean Up

After you’ve reached your peak of pleasure, it’s time to attend to the essential task of cleaning your Fleshlight. Proper maintenance ensures hygiene and longevity.

Remove the sleeve from the casing and rinse it thoroughly with warm water.

Avoid using hot water or harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the material. Let the sleeve air dry completely before reassembling your Fleshlight.

10. Store Properly

Once your Fleshlight is clean and dry, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can affect the material’s quality over time.

Proper storage ensures that your Fleshlight remains in excellent condition and ready for your next intimate adventure.

Using a Fleshlight is a personal and intimate experience that you can tailor to your preferences. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, exploration, or intense pleasure, the Fleshlight is a versatile companion that adapts to your desires.

Incorporating Fleshlights in Partner Play

While the Fleshlight is an exceptional tool for solo pleasure, it also has the potential to elevate your intimate moments with a partner.

Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or exploring new connections, integrating a Fleshlight into your shared experiences can bring a new dimension of pleasure and excitement.

Here are some tips and suggestions for maximising pleasure when using Fleshlights with a partner:

Open Communication

The foundation of any satisfying sexual experience with a partner is open communication. Before introducing a Fleshlight into your intimate moments, have an honest and respectful conversation with your partner. Discuss your desires, boundaries, and fantasies. Mutual consent and understanding are essential for a pleasurable and comfortable experience.

Mutual Exploration

Start by exploring the Fleshlight together during foreplay. Allow your partner to watch as you use the device on yourself, or take turns using it on each other. This shared exploration can be incredibly arousing and create a sense of intimacy.

Tease and Delay

Incorporating the Fleshlight into your partner play allows you to experiment with teasing and delayed gratification. Alternate between using the Fleshlight on your partner and other forms of stimulation. Tease each other to the brink of climax before taking a step back. This builds anticipation and can lead to more intense orgasms when you finally give in to pleasure.

Double Stimulation

For those seeking dual stimulation, the Fleshlight can be a perfect addition. While your partner enjoys the sensations of the Fleshlight on you, you can simultaneously engage in other forms of intimacy, such as oral sex or manual stimulation. The combination of sensations can lead to powerful and synchronised orgasms.

Enhanced Oral Play

If your partner enjoys giving oral pleasure, the Fleshlight can enhance the experience. Incorporate the Fleshlight as part of oral play by having your partner use it on you during oral sex. The realistic textures and sensations of the Fleshlight can complement the pleasures of oral stimulation.

Role-Playing Fantasies

Use the Fleshlight to bring your role-playing fantasies to life. Whether you’re exploring a teacher-student scenario or indulging in a fantasy involving a particular character, the Fleshlight can add a realistic touch to your role play. Choose a Fleshlight sleeve that aligns with your fantasy for an immersive experience.

Sensory Exploration

Experiment with sensory play by incorporating temperature variations. Warm the Fleshlight sleeve with warm water before use to create a soothing and realistic sensation. Alternatively, try cooling the sleeve for a thrilling contrast. Sensory exploration can add novelty and excitement to your shared experiences.

Fleshlight Accessories

Consider using Fleshlight accessories designed for partner play, such as the Fleshlight Launch. This hands-free device allows your partner to control the Fleshlight’s movements, adding an element of surprise and excitement to your intimate moments.

Cleanliness and Hygiene

Ensure that you and your partner maintain proper hygiene when using the Fleshlight together. Clean the device before and after use to prevent any risk of infection or discomfort. Remember that a clean and well-maintained Fleshlight is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Respect Boundaries

Always respect each other’s boundaries and comfort levels. If at any point during partner play, either of you feels uncomfortable or wants to stop, communicate openly, and honour each other’s wishes. Consent and comfort should be a top priority in any intimate encounter.

Incorporating Fleshlights into partner play can deepen the connection between you and your partner while providing new avenues for exploration and pleasure.

Remember that the key to a fulfilling and enjoyable experience is trust, communication, and mutual consent. With these elements in place, you can embark on a journey of shared pleasure that enhances your intimacy and satisfaction.

How to Clean Your Fleshlight

1. Rinse Immediately

After use, remove the Fleshlight sleeve from its casing and rinse both parts with warm, running water. Do not use hot water as it can damage the SuperSkin material.

2. Use Mild Soap

For a thorough cleaning, use a mild, unscented, and water-based soap. Avoid using harsh detergents, alcohol-based cleansers, or anything with fragrances, as these can degrade the material.

3. Clean Inside

To clean the interior of the sleeve, turn it inside out. Gently rinse and clean the textured surface with your fingers, ensuring that all residues are removed. Be cautious not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the delicate textures.

4. Flush and Repeat

Continue to rinse until all traces of lubricant, bodily fluids, or other substances are completely washed away.

5. Dry Thoroughly

After cleaning, ensure that the sleeve is thoroughly dry before reassembling it with the case. Air drying is the preferred method, but you can also use a lint-free towel or paper towels to pat it dry. Ensure it is completely dry to prevent mould growth.

Maintaining Your Fleshlight

Keep It Dry

To prevent mold and bacteria growth, always store your Fleshlight in a dry and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in a damp or humid environment.

Use Renewing Powder

After cleaning and drying your Fleshlight, apply a thin layer of Fleshlight Renewing Powder to the interior. This powder helps maintain the softness and texture of the SuperSkin material. Reapply the powder regularly to prevent stickiness.

Store It Discreetly

If you want to keep your Fleshlight discreetly, consider purchasing a Fleshlight Sleeve Warmer or discreet storage case. These accessories can help maintain the device’s quality and provide a more convenient storage solution.

Avoid Sunlight and Extreme Temperatures

Do not expose your Fleshlight to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to heat can damage the SuperSkin material and cause warping.

Replace If Necessary

Over time, the SuperSkin material may begin to show signs of wear or lose its softness. If you notice any significant deterioration, consider replacing the Fleshlight sleeve to ensure continued enjoyment.

Hygiene and Safety Tips

  1. Regular Cleaning: Clean your Fleshlight thoroughly before and after each use to maintain optimal hygiene.
  2. Use Water-Based Lubricants: When using lubricants with your Fleshlight, choose water-based lubricants as they are compatible with the SuperSkin material. Avoid silicone or oil-based lubricants, as they can degrade the material.
  3. Personal Use Only: While the Fleshlight is a versatile device, it is intended for personal use. Avoid sharing it with others to prevent the risk of infections or discomfort.
  4. Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect your Fleshlight for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any tears, holes, or significant changes in texture, consider replacing the sleeve.

By following these cleaning and maintenance practices, you can ensure that your Fleshlight remains in prime condition, providing you with countless hours of pleasure.
