Fleshlight vs Pocket Pussy: Which One Feels Better?

Chances are, you've heard about Fleshlight toys. The company has played a big part in making male sex toys mainstream - and for that, we applaud them. While the company has lots of fantastic products and high-profile endorsements, they're not the only company making award-winning pocket pussies.

For every company like Nike or Coca-Cola, there's a series of slightly lesser-known rival companies with equally exceptional products. This is true for Fleshlight too; they may have the brand name that millions of people know - but do they really produce the best pocket pussies on the market?

In this guide, we dive into the pocket pussy debate. As you've come to expect from The Enhanced Male, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to assessing Fleshlight sex toys and comparing them to the best pocket pussies from other brands. Ultimately, you want to know if you're getting the best bang for your buck - and we're here to help to make sure you are.

Fleshlight vs Pocket Pussy: How We Evaluate

Everyone's taste in sex toys is a little different. What works for one sex toy tester might not work for you - so we do things a little differently.

Rather than just give you our opinion, we take a deeper dive into a range of areas:

Special Mention

In our usual comparisons, we compare one brand to another - or specific best-selling sex toys to rivals from another manufacturer.

This comparison is going to be a little different. While a Fleshlight is a type of pocket pussy, not all pocket pussies are made by Fleshlight. As such, we're comparing the full Fleshlight range to the best competitors out there.

Material Quality

How do the materials used to create a Fleshlight compare to other award-winning pocket pussy toys available in an adult toy shop?

Fleshlight

One of the things that makes Fleshlight products stand out against other male masturbator toys is the patented material used to create the company's sleeves.

It's called SuperSkin - and, like the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, the exact recipe for making it is a closely guarded secret.

That said, we do know a little bit about what makes it so special. It's thought to be a blend of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and a type of mineral oil. TPE is already an amazingly popular material for sex toys - but the addition of mineral oil helps to keep the material ultra-soft and supple.

Any product that includes an oil-based ingredient also benefits from the heat transfer properties of the oil. Oil is a good heat conductor - so it gets warm and stays warm. This undoubtedly contributes to a Fleshlight's ability to get up to body temperature quickly, providing an amazingly life-like sensation.

The SuperSkin material is incredibly versatile

Take a quick look at the Fleshlight range, and you'll see a huge range of toys, including:

Every toy in the ranges listed here is made using SuperSkin - proving just how versatile it is. It can be used to effectively create different textures, sleeves that feel tighter than others, and hyper-realistic representations of real people.

This means natural body fluids, lubricant, or a mix of the two can work their way into the material if it's not cleaned thoroughly. Should this happen, bacteria can build up, degrading the toy and increasing the chance of UTIs and other bacterial infections.

Fleshlight has tried to deal with this by creating a range of cleaning products and a specialist drying rack - but it's worth being aware of this so you know that buying a Fleshlight comes with some necessary post-orgasm aftercare.

Pocket Pussies

Almost all pocket pussy toys follow the Fleshlight way of thinking - using TPE for the lifelike feel that customers are looking for.

There is a range of TPE blends out there - many quite similar to SuperSkin. Popular choices include "Cyberskin" from the Healthy Vibes company, "PureSkin" from Cal Exotics, "FantaFlesh" as used by Pipedream, and "UR3 UltraSkyn" used by the Doc Johnson brand.

Since TPE can be mixed with other materials of varying quality, this means there's a far greater variation in the price and longevity of other pocket pussy toys. For example, The Healthy Vibes Passion Cup is made using a RealSkin blend and retails at just over $10. Go to the other end of the market, and you'll find a TPE sleeve in Pipedream's feature-packed PDX Elite Ultimate Milker that has a retail price of around $175.

Although TPE is extremely popular, it's not the only material used for pocket pussies. Some brands and customers prefer silicone - which is why the NS Novelties Yoni Blue pocket pussy is a popular product. Silicone has lots of similar properties to TPE but is completely non-porous, making it easier to clean and less likely to harbor any bacteria.

Design and Extra Features

Fleshlight

Fleshlight products are designed with a series of unique features that have helped catapult them to huge success in the sex toy industry.

1. There's a Fleshlight for Everyone

Fleshlight has an incredibly wide range of strokers. Whether you're looking for an opening that looks like a vagina, a butthole, or even a mouth, there's guaranteed to be a toy that will suit your tastes.

Don't worry though, you don't have to choose an anatomically correct opening. Several Fleshlight models have openings that don't look like body parts - making them ideal if you'd prefer something even more discreet.

Fleshlight's sleeves also have an incredible variety of internal textures too. You can choose from designs that will target specific areas of your penis or offer different sensations the further into the sleeve you push. You may even decide on a model that includes room for a small bullet vibrator to add spine-tingling vibrations to your play too - the choice is yours

The Fleshlight STU (Stamina Training Unit) is a perfect example - offering extremely high levels of stimulation so you can train yourself for added staying power with real-life partners. The STU is designed specifically for guys who'd like to break through the barriers that premature ejaculation can put in the way of a great sex life.

2. Flashlight-Style Case

The design feature that sets a Fleshlight apart from virtually all other pocket pussies is the very thing that inspired the brand's name - the fact that a Fleshlight looks very much like a flashlight when the cap is on.

There's more to the case than just a novelty name though - it actually offers a range of benefits

3. Adjustable Suction

Another bit part of what makes the Fleshlight case design so good is the fact that virtually all models have an adjustable cap on the end of the hard outer body that can be twisted to increase or decrease the amount of suction within the sleeve. This is fantastic for a couple of main reasons.

Firstly, you can adjust the 'tightness' of the sleeve with a quick twist. This means you can adjust the intensity of your play without having to swap to different toys.

Secondly, this suction means you don't necessarily have to be fully erect to enjoy a Fleshlight. As long as you can get your penis inside the sleeve, you can turn up the suction to make sure the sleeve grips you as you play.

This is a huge bonus if you're one of the millions of men that experience the symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

4. There's a huge range of Fleshlight accessories available

The Fleshlight company could produce nothing but pocket pussies and still be a huge success - but they've created a range of lubes and accessories to complement their strokers. These accessories include:

5. Fleshlights are Very Discreet

We've talked a lot about the SuperSkin material that you'll find inside your Fleshlight - but focusing on just the inside overlooks a really important part of the Fleshlight design. Fleshlights are designed to look - at a glance at least - like a pretty standard flashlight.

This makes most Fleshlight toys very discreet. As long as the cap is on, a Fleshlight could live in your bedside cabinet, and you'd only ever look like you were prepared for a power outage. This makes for a perfect toy if there are other people in your house - or if you travel a lot and need a discreet toy that won't raise eyebrows in an overnight bag.

Pocket Pussies

Explore a few different pocket pussy brands, and you'll quickly realize there's a world of features out there that Fleshlight doesn't factor into its products.

Generally speaking, Fleshlights are manual toys - and while there are lots of manual masturbators out there that have a similar set of features to a typical Fleshlight, there are plenty that add impressive tech.

Let's take a look at some of the best pocket pussies that include features above and beyond what's found in a Fleshlight:

Vibration: Hot Chocolate Alexis Black Vibrating Pocket Pussy

Blush Novelties created a pocket pussy that's designed to perfectly replicate Alexis Black's vagina. While it delivers sensational stimulation as just a stroker, it also has a built-in bullet that adds vibration to your play - helping to deliver more sensation and encourage even stronger orgasms.

Automatic Thrusting: PDX Elite Ultimate Milker

With their Ultimate Milker toy, PDX Elite has created an automatic stroking machine that works its way up and down your penis, squeezing and pulsating as it does. If the idea of hands-free play isn't appealing enough - it even adds audio so you can have a breathy voice encouraging you towards orgasm.

Air Technology: Arcwave Ion Pleasure Stroker

The Arcwave Ion doesn't look like a typical pocket pussy - but it delivers mind-blowing stimulation nonetheless. It creates pulsing airwaves that go to work on your penis in the way a manual toy can't. Since it doesn't rely on grip, it works just as well with a flaccid penis - making it a great choice if you struggle to get or maintain an erection.

Smart Connectivity: Kiiroo Keon + Feel Combo

Kirroo Keon has really taken the pocket vagina to the next level by creating the Keon and Feel combination. Their smart tech allows you to connect to a partner's toys, the toys of your favorite cam model, or even match what you're seeing in your favorite online adult movies and VR enabled clips. It's not a cheap toy - but it offers full hands-free automatic immersion in your fantasies.

Accessories

Since no other company produces a range that matches the sheer size of the Fleshlight range, it's often harder to track down accessories for other brand pocket pussies. Instead, it's often a better idea to look for the features you want from a toy straight out of the box.

For instance, if you wanted a Fleshlight with a shower mount, you could buy this accessory to use with virtually any Fleshlight. However, if you want a pocket pussy with a shower mount, you'd be better looking for one that has this feature built in - such as the PDX Elite Ultimate Milker.

Some Fleshlight accessories will work with other pocket pussies though - such as the sleeve warmer or phone leg mount.

Feeling

We've talked about the qualities of SuperSkin and many of the design features and extras that Fleshlight offers. Ultimately though, this guide is about Fleshlight vs pocket pussy options and how they feel - so it's important to understand how what the user experience is like.

1. Ultimate Realism

Lots of Fleshlight users put the incredible realism offered by the toys down to the SuperSkin material that's used to create the sleeves. It's not uncommon to see people say it's virtually indistinguishable from real skin - so it accurately recreates a real vagina, mouth, or ass.

This works for people in different ways. Clearly, how SuperSkin feels around your penis is a big part of the fun - but there's also the look of the toy stretched around you too. Some pocket pussies look like an indistinct piece of silicone - but, discounting the hard plastic case, the actual sleeve is very visually stimulating.

2. Intense Stimulation From Internal Textures

Although there's plenty of visual pleasure from seeing a Fleshlight sleeve around your shaft, the incredible physical stimulation comes from the textured internal canal.

In fact, some users even say that the sensation is more intense than real penetrative sex. As well as the sensation you get from thrusting into a Fleshlight, there's also a world of experimentation to be done - twisting and spinning the masturbation sleeve for unique stimulation from the bumps, ribs, and spirals inside the toy.

3. Adjustable Suction To Change Sensations

We've talked already about some of the benefits of being able to adjust the suction strength of your Fleshlight - though it's worth doubling down on this.

A quick twist of the cap of a Fleshlight can change your experience completely. You can go from a loose, wet feeling to an ultra-grippy sensation in less than a second. Not only does this let you get things just right as you bring yourself to orgasm - it can actually be used to ease the stimulation a little, ideal if you're training yourself for extra staying-power in bed.

Pocket Pussies

While Fleshlight is the brand that most people think of when it comes to great feeling toys for men, there's an equally exceptional range of pocket pussies out there that feel every bit as good.

In fact, in our list of the 10 best pocket pussies, Fleshlight products appeared only twice.

Again, this comes down to the range of features available if you look at other brands. Take a look at some examples that we felt beat the Fleshlight alternatives:

Added Visual Stimulation: Fuck Me Silly To Go - Pipedream

If the idea of a solid cup around your pocket vagina doesn't do it for you, Pipedream's Fuck Me Silly To Go toy is a great alternative. This is a full-body pocket pussy that resembles a miniature sex doll and weighs in at an impressive 1.6lb for added realism as you have your fun.

Intense Vibration: Tenga Flip Zero EV

With pressure-sensitive internal TPE pads, a tight air canal, and dual vibrating motors, the Tenga Flip Zero EV adjusts its grip on you depending on how tightly you squeeze it. Tenga produces excellent toys - and this delivers spine-tingling vibrations right through your body.

Ordering and Delivery

When ordering a sex toy, it's useful to know how it will come packaged and what will show up on your credit card statement. There's absolutely no shame in buying or owning sex toys - but it's perfectly reasonable to be discreet with your sex life.

Let's look at how Fleshlight and the best of other brands handle this:

Fleshlight

Despite handling millions of orders annually, Fleshlight says that priority orders are shipped the same day or the next business day if placed after 1 pm, and other orders are generally shipped between 1 and 3 business days after the payment has been finalized. So there's no waiting around for your new toy.

Firstly, orders will show on a card statement as being from "ILF, LLC" and will not mention 'sex toy,' 'Fleshlight' or any other term that could identify the product that's been bought. When it comes to delivery, the same level of discretion is applied.

If someone decided to dig deeper and search for the brand name, even the first page of results created by a Google search of "ILF LLC" doesn't show anything relating to Fleshlights - although this could vary based on your location.

While all this information is claimed by Fleshlight, it's reassuring to know it's also backed up when you read reviews online from real people who've bought Fleshlight products. Reviewers comment on how packaging and billing are discreet - and how packages are almost always dispatched and received on time.

Pocket Pussies

Since we're doing a Fleshlight vs pocket pussy comparison, it's hard to sum up everyone's experiences with all the different manufacturers and retailers here. As such, it's important to do your homework if you're ordering and want to make sure you're going to get a discreet service.

That said, most companies that sell direct to the public and most retailers follow the same principles as Fleshlight. As such, you can expect:

• Discreet packaging (i.e. plain box or envelope) with no reference to the contents of the box displayed anywhere on the packaging

• Transactions are shown as being made to a generically named company. For instance, the Doc Johnson brand shows as "Innov8 Solutions".

If you're not 100% certain about the transaction and delivery being discreet, it's a good idea to check an FAQs page on the site you're looking at or speak to a customer service representative. If you're still not sure, consider shopping with a company that ensures discretion.

Cleaning and Durability

Fleshlight

1. Superskin is easy to clean and maintain

• SuperSkin can be cleaned with a good sex toy cleaner - or, at a push, warm water and mild hand soap. Whichever Fleshlight cleaning process you use, you need to make sure you do a very thorough job.
• The only downside of SuperSkin is the fact that it's slightly porous. This means that if it's not properly cleaned and dried, it can harbor harmful bacteria - which can leave your sleeve unhygienic. This also means it's not safe to share a Fleshlight with anyone else unless you're using condoms.

2. SuperSkin is a very durable material

• Fleshlights are generally more expensive than other male masturbators. Because of this, users expect their toy to last a long time, so it represents value for money.
• Fortunately, Superskin delivers in this area. TPE is known for its flexibility, strength, and resistance to wear and tear. When a great material is twinned with very high manufacturing and quality control standards, the result is a sex toy that will still be in excellent condition with years of use.
• Fleshlight recommends using a high-quality cleaner and their renewal powder to make sure this is the case.

Pocket Pussies

All TPE blends are easy to clean and maintain

• Since most pocket pussies are made using a similar TPE blend to SuperSkin, the same cleaning principles should apply. Ideally, use a sex toy cleaner - but if you've run out, a mild hand soap and some warm water will do in the meantime.
• Again though, you need to be thorough - all TPE is slightly porous so you need to make sure it's properly cleaned to get rid of any bacteria. This can be trickier if your toy has any electronic features as it may not be waterproof - but you'll always get manufacturer guidelines to follow.
• Silicone pocket pussies are not porous - so they are usually much easier to clean effectively. However, silicone tends to be slightly more costly than TPE.

Customer Feedback

Although one person's opinion might not match your own opinion of a Fleshlight or pocket pussy product, that doesn't mean customer feedback and reviews aren't worth looking at.

Trustworthy reviews and feedback are a great way to get a feel for the overall performance of a product - along with the purchasing, delivery, and aftercare.

Let's take a look at how Fleshlight and others perform:

Fleshlight vs Pocket Pussy: Final Verdict

By looking at the quality of materials used in manufacture, stand-out designs, and features, the feeling offered, the ordering and delivery process, along with cleaning and durability factors, we've hopefully given you some insight into the pros and cons of purchasing a Fleshlight or another brand's design of pocket pussy.

If you're looking for a fantastic pocket pussy and you're happy with the level of features that Fleshlight provides, then their toys are some of the most well-made and best-feeling pocket pussies on the market.

That said, the features they offer don't stretch nearly as far as those offered by other companies. If you're looking for vibrations, built-in smart connectivity, automatic stroking, or air technology without having to buy add-ons, then there are excellent pocket pussies from other manufacturers out there that might be better suited to you.
