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.

Special Mention
In our usual comparisons, we compare one brand to another - or specific best-selling sex toys to rivals from another manufacturer.
While a Fleshlight is a type of pocket pussy, not all pocket pussies are made by Fleshlight.
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.
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.
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:
|

The Fleshlight Girls Line |
FleshLights shaped to replicate real porn star vaginas |
|

Masturbators based on male porn stars |
|
The Fleshlight STU |

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.
Of course, there are downsides to SuperSkin. The fact that it's primarily TPE means that it is more porous than silicone.
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 there are all slightly different variations of TPE, they tend to all feel very lifelike and are primarily used for the actual masturbation sleeve element of any pocket pussy toy.
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.
