Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Want something a little different? TENGA Flip Zero. It opens flat for cleaning and grips tight when it's closed. Squeeze the sides to make it even tighter. Arcwave Ion 2 rounds out the top three.

Warm water, lots of water-based lube, slow start. Rinse it right after and let it dry fully before you put it away.

Before you buy

Buying guide

The one we'd grab first

Fleshlight Quickshot. It grips on the way down and lets go on the way up, which is exactly the tease you want. Alone, stop right before you finish, breathe, and start again. You'll thank yourself.

If you want something else

How to clean a Fleshlight goes a little wider. best sex toys for beginners is where we'd look next.

Quickshot, Pink Lady or Ion 2: what the extra money buys

The Fleshlight Quickshot runs about $35. It's short, open at both ends and rinses clean in under a minute. Tight, quick and easy to hide in a drawer, it makes a great first sleeve and a fine fast one. What it can't do is last: there isn't much length, and with both ends open there's no suction to play with.

Around $70, the Fleshlight Pink Lady STU is the full-size classic. You get a long canal with a busy, ridged texture built for stamina, a hard case to grip, and an end cap you twist to tighten or loosen the suction. It takes longer to dry and more room to store. What you get back is a slow, deep session that feels a lot closer to the real thing.

At about $179, the Arcwave Ion 2 stops being a sleeve you work and starts doing the work. It sends pulses of air at the frenulum, the sensitive spot just under the head, while you barely move. It's rechargeable and waterproof, so it rinses clean. It's the one for you if you already know what a sleeve does and want an orgasm that feels different, not just a tighter grip.

If you're buying for two

Strokers are mostly a solo thing. The Quickshot is the exception: open at both ends, it leaves the tip free for a partner's mouth, which makes it a fun one to hand over.

For something you both feel during sex, a vibrating cock ring does more. It sits snug at the base, keeps things a little firmer, and the motor presses against your partner's clit every time you're all the way in. The We-Vibe Pivot 2 sits at the top of that list.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the best pick for fleshlight for beginners?
Fleshlight Quickshot. The inside is tight, ridged and slick once it's lubed. Every stroke drags over something new. If it's not your style, TENGA Flip Zero is a great second choice.
How loud is it?
Manual sleeves are basically silent. The squelch is on you, so a towel and a playlist help.
