Fleshlight
If you’ve ever seen a Fleshlight, you’ll understand why it’s named that remarkably discreet name. If it looks like a flashlight, it feels like a flashlight, and has an on/off switch like a flashlight, guess what? It might be a Fleshlight! Surprise!
But seriously, unless it’s one of those transparent versions, a Fleshlight looks exactly like those big, industrial ones you see on construction sites. But instead of a little bulb and a bunch of wires and batteries inside, you get the simulation of a woman’s vaginal or anal texture. Furthermore, Fleshlight was one of the earliest brands to embrace pride and create these male anal toys.
Fleshlights are some of the oldest male masturbators around. They’ve been around for over a decade and are still going strong today. Since most Fleshlight toys aren’t motorized, we’re only talking about Fleshlight products, features, and our team’s experience with one of their most popular toys.
About Fleshlight
Fleshlight is one of the few brands that found what worked for them early on. They create toys that look like flashlights but work as masturbation sleeves. The toys themselves are pretty discreet as they come with a cap to cover up the pink, flesh-like top of the sleeve. The bottom of the toy also has a cap, but it’s meant to increase or decrease suction to your liking after you’ve started using the toy.
The Fleshlight is made of a material called Superskin on the inside and plastic on the outside. Superskin is a material that’s made to feel like real skin, and we’ve got to give it to the folks at Fleshlight; they came real close – about as close as anyone has come to making a real skin feel texture.
There are so many, many different kinds of Fleshlights that it’s almost insane. And, as you’ve probably noticed, some of them have some pretty famous porn actors and actresses names’ in their titles. Why is that?
Well, according to the company, Fleshlights are made to simulate the vagina or anus of these individuals. So the process goes something like this:
- They somehow get a mold created from the inside of the individual’s vagina or anal cavity. We’re not sure how this mold gets cast, so let’s just leave that aside.
- Then, the smart guys over at Fleshlight find a way to recreate the bumps and ridges and spaces collected by the mold into a Superskin.
- The Superskin is then put into those fleshlight tubes, and voila! We have a new Fleshlight.
The resulting toy is tested and if it’s okay, it’s named after the vagina or ass-owner whose orifice helped create it. Then it’s put into the Fleshlight Girls or Fleshjack Boys categories to be sold. One of their most popular Fleshlight Girls is Riley Reid.
While the Fleshlight seems to be made simply, you can tell it does what it’s supposed to do from the sheer number of sales. So, we tested one of their all-time bestsellers: the Stamina Training Unit. In the spirit of providing an unbiased review, I tried out this baby myself.

My Experience with Fleshlight: Stamina Training Unit
The first thing that struck me was the amount of lube I would need because that was one small hole. I’m not bragging, but it didn’t look like it would fit. However, once I was lubed up and pressed against it, it stretched. Like the way a real girl stretches, you know? Just expands, all-accepting like that.
Inside, the thing was a little lackluster at first. The texture was a little bumpy and rough and cold. Not bad, but not great either. There were instructions to use the Fleshlight Warmer or put the toy under warm water first to warm it up, although I had forgotten about that part at the time.
But after a little while, the Superskin picked up heat from my body, and with the slight friction, things got way better. The suction effect, the bumps, everything felt better when it was warm. It still took a bit of time before I could get to the finish line. My arm ached, and I needed more lube at one point, but I saw stars behind my eyes when I came.
- A huge number of toys and lots of models to choose from
- Brand inclusivity with anal toys and toys for women
- Cap can be used to adjust suction
- Discreet flashlight case which can be carried in public
- Superskin in Fleshlights can be interchanged.
- You’ll need lots of lube
- Cleanup can be a little difficult
- You might not like the sensations of the model you buy since the textures are different
All in all, the Fleshlight performed well and gave a pretty realistic feeling. There are multiple options to choose from and this choice alone means we give Fleshlight a big thumbs up.

Hot Octopuss
Alright, on to our next male sex toy.
If you didn’t read the intro and only saw the name, you’d probably believe that the Hot Octopuss is some great seafood joint. But it’s a sex tech company instead.
According to them, Hot Octopuss started because two best friends were tired of the lack of innovation in the male sex toy industry. So they decided to start up their own sex tech company. Today, they’ve been around for eight years and have won numerous awards for best design awards since 2014.
While they don’t have too many products, they focus on enhancing pleasure technologically. Their six male sex toys all have one similarity: they all have some kind of tech installed. Currently, we’ve counted three: PulsePlate Technology, Treble & Bass Technology, and regular but always nice vibration.
However, both PulsePlate Technology and Treble & Bass Technology utilize certain kinds of vibrations and rotations to increase sensation and create awesome orgasms. Let’s take a look at some of the finer details of this tech.
Design
Hot Octopuss makes toys that are made of body-safe materials like silicone or ABS plastic, or both. Most of their male toys are made to be slid over the head of the penis, down the shaft, and under the frenulum. But the real magic of these toys is in their tech, so we’re going to diverge just a little bit to check out the details of Hot Octopuss sex tech.
Technology
- PulsePlate Technology
PulsePlate Technology is a fairly new form of stimulation introduced by Hot Octopuss. It involves using powerful oscillations and vibrations around the frenulum to stimulate the penis and enhance organisms. The roots of this tech lie in medical science. According to Hot Octopuss, after careful study, the exact frequency and amplitude of vibrations are suitable to encourage orgasm in males with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
Please note that this product is not a medical device, but its creation did take into consideration studies like the one above.
- Treble & Bass Technology
Okay, so this one’s a tiny bit technical. A Hot Octopuss toy with Treble and Bass Technology consists of a toy with two vibrators. Unlike most toys that have two vibrators connected to the same buttons or remote, Treble and Bass Tech are characterized by two vibrators connected to two different button sets. This means that you can have different frequencies on each vibrator to enhance stimulation.
Sets that use Treble & Bass Technology are usually quite bulky, seeing that they have to hold two bullet vibrators and are connected to a remote. The two sets of controls are on one remote, so you can quickly change the frequency of each vibe until you get the combination you want.
Apart from the technology, Hot Octopuss toys are also waterproof. There’s only one exception: the Pocket Pulse.

Power
Because Hot Octopuss creates motorized toys, we can add power as a criterion. When we say “power,” we mean the force of the vibrations or rotations. The majority of male Hot Octopuss toys that use PulsePlate Technology use more than four thousand rotations per minute (rpm). In simpler terms, this means that the internal parts of the toy rotate more than four thousand times per minute around your penis.
The only toy that doesn’t is the Pulse Solo Essential which is the bare necessities version of the Pulse Solo Lux. And this toy’s power is only 50 rpm shy of four thousand. In general, Hot Octopuss’ maintain a nearly level amount of power.
Some of them even have a feature called Turbo that pushes the power to the absolute limits. In return, it increases the oscillations and vibrations to the maximum. I advise that you do this when you’re super close, then finish with a bang.
Battery
While the Hot Octopuss probably won’t win any prizes for the longest battery life, it won’t lose too badly either. All six Octopuss male masturbators and devices have at least one hour of running time, even the smallest and most pocket-friendly model.
Plus, a lot of the newer toys like the Pulse Duo Lux and Pulse Solo Lux have magnetic charging, which makes charging it up even easier.
Noise Levels
As with all motorized toys, we’re going to have to consider the possibility that you’re going to need to wait until everyone leaves before using your Octopuss.
But we’re happy to say that Hot Octopuss was pretty thoughtful and considered not only the pleasure of our penises and partners but also our privacy. All the Hot Octopuss toys under the male sex toys category on the Hot Octopuss website are around 50 to 55 decibels, which is around the same sound range as your refrigerator or your air conditioner.
Since most of these toys are also waterproof, taking them with you under the shower or into your bathtub can help mute the sound.
- Uses oscillations to stimulate your schlong
- Treble and Bass Technology gives you the power to choose the frequency combination you enjoy.
- There are two toys made for partner fun: Pulse Duo and Pulse Duo Lux
- Low noise level
- Waterproof
- Easy to clean
- One year warranty
- No way to gauge power level
- Controls can be a little difficult to handle
- Sensations can take a little getting used to

Tenga
In about four years, Tenga is going to be two decades old. But, as one of the oldest sex tech companies in the world, it’s done pretty well for itself. From a solely Japanese brand, Tenga now has offices all over Europe and the United States of America, selling their male sex toys and advocating sexual fulfillment all over the world.
Tenga’s goal was to create high-quality products with innovative thinking. And we can say that in their area of specification, they’ve been pretty successful. They have lots of products focused on male pleasure, from manual strokers to automatic machines.
Since Tenga products are widely varied, we’re going to have to adopt another format to get a clear look at what Tenga offers and whether it’s worth forgoing orgasms from Fleshlight, Hot Octopuss, and Autoblow toys. We’ll be giving brief reviews of some of Tenga’s most popular toys and then decide which one’s best for you. Let’s begin.
The Tenga Egg
These disposable egg-shaped masturbators are arguably one of Tenga’s most well-known sex toys. They’re only about 2.5 inches tall, but with a bit of lube and their stretchiness, you can get a lot of penis in there. The eggs have textured insides and are a little squishy, so you can completely control how the toy works by squeezing the toy when you want. Tenga eggs are disposable and should only be used once.
Tenga Flip Hole
The Tenga Flip Hole is a masturbation sleeve. It has textured insides with bumps and ridges, and if you get your penis to the end of the toy, there’s a little pocket of air that offers just the right contrast with the textured sides.
But it’s called a Flip Hole because it’s two “wings” at the side open to allow easy lubing, cleaning, and drying. This toy is also waterproof and a great addition when you’re showering. Press the buttons on the sides to apply pressure on different parts of your penis.
Tenga Flip Zero
The Flip Zero flips open like the Flip Hole, but it has much more texture, and the hinge is a little more challenging to open. It also has a one-way air valve that pushes air through the top end of the toy, which creates a suction that feels great on your penis head. You can control the suction by simply pressing on the sides.
Tenga Cup
If you’ve used a Tenga Egg before, you’ll have no problem using a Tenga Cup. It only needs some lube, and you can slide in and enjoy the squeeze in the middle, similar to a real deepthroat experience. Once you’re done, don’t forget to throw away this disposable toy.
There are so many other Tenga toys like the Tenga Air Tech, Tenga SVR, and more. However, they all do the same job of making you come through textured skins. So at this point, we’re not sure if there is even a bad Tenga product.
- Different textures to enjoy
- One-way airflow to create suctioning sensations
- Strategically placed squeezing points to increase the intensity of your session whenever you want
- Easy to clean
- Products are cheap
- There are disposable options
- Not durable, especially the disposable products
- The price of replacing disposable products quickly adds up

Autoblow
Autoblow has been around for quite some time now, and we’ve watched them evolve into the stable best-selling company they are now. They were one of the foremost innovators when it comes to creating hands-free male sex toys.
Today, they’ve come up with some of the most futuristic male masturbators in the world. Unfortunately, they only have two products, one of which is simply an upgrade to the other.
Autoblow 2XT
The Autoblow 2XT was once known as the Autoblow 2, but because the innovators at Autoblow are always looking for a way to better their product, it’s been upgraded to the Autoblow 2 XT. This is the third upgrade, and now the Autoblow can stroke even more of your penis.
This toy doesn’t need to be charged as it’s electric. Simply plug it in, take a seat and insert your penis for a good time. The machine’s in-built insulators will make sure you’re safe, and the Autoblow will do all the stroking for you. All you need to do is hold it in place and feel the sensation of the beaded stroker.
While it does feel bizarre at first, it gets better as you get used to it, especially since you can easily control the device’s speed and intensity.

Autoblow A.I
The Autoblow A.I. has all the features of the 2XT but with half the noise. In addition to the ten blowjob modes and ten speeds, the artificial intelligence equipped with the model learns from each use. That means that the toy studies how to give you an orgasm. This seems too good to be true, but there isn’t anything more amazing than feeling the new tricks the AI uses with every use while you sit back and keep the machine on your crotch.
- Hands-free toy
- Artificial intelligence features learning and recreating what the owner likes
- Lots of modes and intensities to choose from
- The sleeves are interchangeable and can be used with all penis sizes
- The motor is built to last
- Easy to use
- Both toys offered are expensive
