"Naturally I feel a bit odd writing a review for something like this, but hey, it's 2019 and all these stigmas should be eradicated, and women have been using sex toys for a *very* long time with 0 shame, having sex toy parties and whatnot, so why should I feel uncomfortable? So here we go:

I went into this (heh) having tried one Fleshlight product before (Stoya Destroya), so I more or less knew what to expect. The product itself would be great, but the require prep and cleanup would be a royal pain. The Turbo Thrust arrived, and everything I expected was true, with an added bonus that the experience itself surpassed my expectations.

First off, it came in then usual Amazon padded envelope, which then contained a nondescript bag containing the Fleshlight itself, along with a pack of lubricant, their "rejuvenating powder", and a little instructional pamphlet. I anticipated that it would arrive in a box due to the size, but functionally the bags worked just fine so I can't complain about anything in particular.

Then the product itself. The #1 thing I have to say about this compared to their standard skin sleeves is that I profoundly appreciate the fact that the entry is no longer mimicking an orifice in appearance. That always weirds me out a bit about sex toys in general, having this disembodied-looking thing under my bathroom sink, but certainly this is all personal preference. The sleeve is considerably "tackier" in texture than their standard sleeves, but I don't find this to be a disadvantage in any way other than it's prone to attract more dust and whatnot if dropped on the ground or dried with a used towel. Unlike the standard sleeve this one is also obviously clear and blue, which is kind of neat because you can actually see the texture of the inside of the sleeve, where one pattern transitions to the next, etc.

Then there's the entry point, which is another "very different" thing from all Fleshlight's other sleeves. The gimmick is that it has 3 entry points to simulate oral, and I gotta say, it's surprisingly realistic. I didn't really think it'd be *that* realistic just by looking at it, because it's basically just 3 flaps of the sleeve material, but in practice it's pretty great. The pieces being separate means there's a gap when you're on your way out of the sleeve, and again this might not sound much as it's described, but it does the trick surprisingly well. Long story short, the "gimmick" is absolutely worth this being a new product.

Last is the prep and cleanup. You'll want to let the sleeve soak for at least 5 minutes in hot water prior to using (10 would be better), but I've also seen people saying 20 minutes works best. I personally don't have much patience for this, so 5 minutes works fine. That said, I can absolutely believe that 10-20 minutes would be better. Cleanup is a matter of rinsing it out thoroughly with warm water, then spraying it inside and out with toy cleaner and washing some more, then drying with a towel, then letting air dry for a good while. Then once it's completely dry you'll use the "rejuvenating powder" (which is basically just corn starch, so I'd recommend using this to save $) and pop it in the case for next time. All of this can be extremely annoying in the moment, but it's absolutely worthwhile in the long run. This is by far the worst part about owning a Fleshlight, but if you can get a routine going it gets less annoying over time.

All-in-all, if you're looking for a quality sex toy, I'd say this is a great option. Certainly there are cheaper options out there that also require less prep/cleanup, but the experience itself will likely pale in comparison to a Fleshlight. And believe me, I've tried to find quality alternatives, figuring Fleshlight is a premium name so they must be charging premium prices and something comparable must be out there, but I mostly came up empty. Tenga is another good option (their Egg and Flip, in particular), and (the very weirdly-named) Tracy's Dog makes a fun and cheap sleeve, but ultimately they pale in comparison to Fleshlight in general.

One other obvious-but-not thing to note is that this is a sleeve meant to simulate oral, whereas most other Fleshlight sleeves are meant to simulate the real deal. Naturally, it isn't as tight of a fit, so if you're looking for this in particular you might want to look at their standard sleeves. That said, I have 0 problem with the non-tightness of this sleeve and actually enjoy it more, personally."

"I owned and enjoyed a Fleshlight Ice unit for several years until sadly, the inner sleeve broke down and developed some holes in it. Due to the cost of Fleshlight, I considered going "sleeveless" and going back to my hand. However, Fleshlight had spoiled me and I soon went shopping again for a replacement.

This unit intrigued me, as the Turbo either didn't exist or just wasn't available when/where I bought the Ice, so I was curious. It did have an interesting set of interfaces and knowing the "realskin" experience, I thought it would be a good replacement.

Boy was it ever! From the first time I used it until now, I am extremely happy with my purchase of this product. I don't think in any form that this feels like a blowjob - and I have had many from all levels of experience - unless it is some horny teenage boy's imaginative interpretation of what one is. But regardless, the sensations and feelings that can be obtained from using this sleeve is absolutely exciting! By utilizing the smaller cap for suction control, varying depth (including pulling fully out, or deeply burying in), turning and speed, you can utilize this unit to really have an experience that can easily turn into a long afternoon of eroticism whether with a partner or not.

Value for money? Not much to say here - Fleshlight is the absolute leader in male masturbation toys and even though their competitors try, they can't seem to match the quality, sensation or fun of the brand. You won't find "bargain" Fleshlight anywhere, and if it's cheap, it might be used (ewwww!). Better just to swallow your pride, open your wallet and get the best. Take care of the product, and it will last for several years.

Finally, I wouldn't use anything else - I am kind of a big boy in size department (7.75" long, 6.5" in girth), so this toy is perfect - many others I have tried have "strangled" me and just aren't fun. There is a difference between being tight, and having your circulation cut off. Most definitely this is recommended for those that need a bit of wiggle room.

Some general hits/comments/suggestions from my years of experience with Ice/Thrust for newbies -
1. It is *VERY* important to use a good amount of water-based lubricant with this product - going dry can be like sandpaper if you aren't careful and you can get abraded. Lube is cheap - walking around with battle-scars isn't.

2. Cleaning is critical! Not cleaning can lead to bacteria, which can even cause a yeast infection on yer pee-pee (NOT FUN!).
a. When you are done with the device, make sure that you rinse it very well to remove any fluids or deposits that you may have left in the sleeve and leave it out with both end caps OFF to fully air dry.
b. I go one step further and once every week or two (depending on how much I use it) - remove the inner sleeve and then wash the outer sleeve and caps with hot water and an anti-microbial soap. Then, CAREFULLY turn the inner sleeve inside out and rinse it thoroughly in hot water while rubbing the service gently in order to make sure to remove anything on the sleeve, then leave the entire unit unassembled to fully dry before reversing the inner sleeve again and reassembling. DO NOT USE SOAP OF ANY KIND ON THE INNER SLEEVE! It is mineral oil based, and will deteriorate very quickly! If you do need to use some sort of cleaner on the inner sleeve then Fleshlight does sell a cleaner (not cheap!); however, if you are diligent about rinsing well, thoroughly drying and keeping it as clean as possible the cleaner rarely - if ever - should have to be used.
3. As some users have noted, the inner sleeve can get "sticky." No, not due to what you would think, but simply because of weather and humidity and as stated above, the inner sleeve does have a mineral oil base. If this happens, clean the inner sleeve well (see "B" above) and after thoroughly drying, you can apply a very light coating of cornstarch to the inner sleeve. This will help fill any minor holes or cuts, as well as stop the problem of stickiness. Your other option of course, is that Fleshlight sells a powder (I think the name is "renew") that in essence, is cornstarch but a lot more expensive. You won't have to do this every time (maybe once every six months or so), so it's not a painful exercise or "high-maintenance" like some partners I know... [ahem].

Hope this helps anyone considering the purchase - partners are fun, but sometimes you just wanna have a bit of playtime and not have to talk and cuddle afterwards."

"I was on the fence about buying another flesh product because they are pricey and the first one I bought which was over 10 years ago I didn't really like it that much. I'm so glad I tried this one though, they definitely got better over time. The suction power is perfect and I like that you can enter through several different openings makes the experiencing way better! It is a pain to clean but all these toys are. I def think I might get more flesh products since they seemed to have 'upped' their game. I was also concerned about it not being tight enough - it is, but I'm average so it works great for me. Definitely tighter than my one from 10 years ago!"
