Works well, if a clumsy way of doing so.
"Packaged arrived in a completely discreet Amazon box, and then the interior box was even more so with no writing on indication of what it was other than the address of origin.
Arrived fully charged and ready to go.
Instructions were short and simple, except for the inclusion of headphones, which the directions make no mention of what they are for. It wasn't until I plugged them in when I turned it on that a female sound comes through the headphones.
I wish they had saved the money from adding that into making the housing or device higher quality.
=======================
CONS:
- This device is big, almost 14 inches long.
- A pain to clean. You can't remove all the internals that could get dirty, so you are forced to jam a cleaning cloth down inside to clean parts you can't remove and you can only reach so far inside.
Needs a simple way to take housing off so everything can be cleaned.
Also this device is not water proof at all. ONLY the sleeve and top are able to have water used which makes cleaning difficult.
- Putting the sleeve back in takes some practice, you have to slide a finger down the side and push, rotate and repeat.
- Unnecessary added cost of headphones and "sound effect" (thankfully sound is only heard through the headphones.
- It twists and tugs. All modes have twisting and pulling. Needs a simple up and down thrust mode. Weak suction is created by the fact there is no air passage hole, not through an actual suction device.
- Plastic housing feels cheap and makes one wonder about the longevity of the product with repeated use.
The top and entrance part (not the sleeve) comes off a little too easily, only using plastic catches to keep it attached, which will wear out rather quickly with repeated use.
- Sleeve is proprietary and form fitted to this device, which means getting a new one or replacing may pose a problem later. Sleeve is rather short in depth. Maybe 3 to 4 inches, so if you're average or above average in size you're going to not have full use of the sleeve.
=======================
PROS:
+ Box comes in completely devoid of info as to what it is.
+ Very aggressive action (PRO or CON depending on what you want).
Does what you need it for in a very efficient manner.
+ Quiet. Almost a whisper.
+ Lightweight
+ Rechargeable
+ Simple controls. 3 Buttons. ON/OFF, Mode change and "Finish Me" mode.
+ Includes "mounting bracket" to mount on wall/table with limited use. (No porous surfaces).
+ When turning off, device goes into a retracted mode so it is somewhat easier to remove sleeve.
=======================
Overall, for the cost, it feels like it should be higher quality housing and more modes.
But, it is effective in what it does and will make short work of its intended purpose if you get it in the right spot."
A (short-lived) worthwhile addition to my collection
"My first impressions of this toy, dubbed the 'Dark Knight' by the user manual, are good and the package it arrived in was delivered with no exterior disclosures hinting at the package's contents.
Here's what's great about this toy:
- The TPE insert is the same size (2 x 1.5 x 4.6 inches) as the TPE inserts in several of my other toys, meaning they're potentially interchangeable if I wanted to change things up.
- While it does not feature a suction pump, I found that suction is mechanically generated while the toy is in use.
- It really does feel like somebody else is doing the work for you and the modes are a lot of fun to play with.
- Be warned, this thing has no mercy during climax. If you're into post-orgasm torment, great! If not, be prepared to switch it to the right mode at the right time.
Potential Flaws:
- Absolutely not waterproof. The gearing from the motor is exposed inside the housing, so keep it dry and keep it clean. Apply lube to the insert only. Completely remove the parts that need to be rinsed with water and hang them out to dry completely.
Care:
Pro tip: When the insert is 100% dry, occasionally oil it up with pure mineral oil and allow it to completely absorb. You can finish by powdering it up with corn starch, but it's up to you.
Update | 11-12-2023: An issue I’m running into with this toy about a month after owning it is that the thrusting action seems strained during regular use.
As with many of these toys, I’m unable to open the device to root cause whatever the problem may be.
I suspect that the battery has likely degraded to the point where it’s no longer powering the device adequately. The toy still technically works, but any resistance to the thrusting action grinds it to a halt.
I think the motor is still fine and all of the other pieces of the toy have been a breeze to maintain. Unfortunately, I think I would need to pretty much destroy the toy to access the compartment where they housed the battery."
WOW! Where has this been all my life?
"This is my first flesh light. I had heard of them, but never thought to try one, until my wife said she enjoyed her toys and I should have some too.
The directions say to use with lube and I stupidly tried it, just to see what it felt like and if I would like it before i bothered with the lube which I knew I would have to clean up. let me just say, ALWAYS USE LUBE. It didn't hurt but it was a little scary for a second and then I put the lube in.
It took a little getting used to as it rotates and that wasn't a sensation that I had ever experienced, but once I relaxed, it felt amazing!! There are all these little silicone nubs inside that massage in just the right ways - ways I never even knew existed but now wonder how I ever lived without!!
If you are hesitant, don't be. Try it. We all need that time alone to just focus on ourselves. It doesn't take away from your partner, if anything it makes you a more attentive lover when you have that opportunity and knowing what you like and what makes you feel good will help you to be able to communicate to your partner.
My wife always has good ideas and this toy was one of the best!"
