Build Your Own Fleshlight Review (Legacy Review)

This review covers an earlier version of the BYO Fleshlight. While the BYO option is still available, it now offers fewer customization options and may vary by region.

In this Build Your Own Fleshlight review we’ll help you build the best Fleshlight for YOU.

Build Your Own or BYO Fleshlight is a flexible and popular way to buy Fleshlight toys while enjoying a never before seen combination of cases, sleeves and orifices of your choice.

BYO fleshlight review

So if you would like to combine the best of everything Fleshlight has to offer, this may be your best bet.

The best thing about BYO Fleshlight is that you can really combine a number of awesome possibilities and build your own Fleshlight according to your own taste, preferences and needs.

It’s kind of like building your ideal girlfriend:

I want her blonde, with big… that doesn’t complain… and one that likes inviting her shapely girlfriends over a night…

Check Price

But, beside the color of the case which is not particularly relevant, there are a wealthy amount of sleeves and orifices to choose from whether your goal is to please or train yourself.

But let’s take a quick look at the Fleshlight sleeves that are available and how actually the BYO Fleshlight process works.

The first step is choosing the case color.

Update 2023: This article was originally written 9 years ago! Yes we’ve been reviewing male sex toys for a long time. Now in 2023 the red case doesn’t exist anymore, and so the cheeks and mouth orifice are not sold with the BYO Fleshlight anymore either, and some sleeves are gone as well. The rest is pretty much the same.

Step 1: Choose the Color of Your BYO Fleshlight Case

Choose the case

You can choose between black, blue, red and silver. Update 2023: You can now only choose between blue and black.

As you can see, while you do have option when choosing the case, you cannot have a golden case (the one used for the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit) and not even the transparent case of the Fleshlight ICE or the sleek case of the Fleshlight Flight.

You do have options, but there are some cases that belong to specific Fleshlight models and that are not sold in the BYO package.

Anyways, the case color is not extremely important, so let’s move on to the orifice.

Step 2: Which Fleshlight Orifice Do You Prefer?

Choose the Orifice

Update 2023: You can now choose only in between Lady and Butt.

The second step in building your own Fleshlight is about choosing an orifice. There are four orifices you can choose from: butt, mouth, lady (vagina) and cheeks. The “pure” orifice is missing from the collection and it’s only available with some specific Fleshlight like the Flight or the Stamina Training Unit for example.

Choose the lady if you want to experience intercourse pleasure, the mouth for oral sex on command and the butt and cheeks for naughtier satisfactions.

Step 3: Get The Right Fleshlight Sleeve

Here’s where the game gets interesting. The internal sleeve is what really makes the difference. When you Build Your Own Fleshlight you can choose among 12 Fleshlight sleeves:

Destroya

Fleshlight Sleeve Destroya

Fleshlight Sleeves Review – Destroya

The Destroya sleeve alternates rings of bumps, piercings, soft teeth and fangs to grab and stimulate at 360 degrees. The further you go inside it, the tighter it gets and the more intense the stimulation.

Mini-Lotus

Fleshlight Sleeve MiniLotus

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – MiniLotus

The Mini-Lotus sleeve takes the realistic vaginal sensations of the normal Lotus texture closer to the orifice, so that every man can enjoy them, right from the entrance.

Bi-Hive

Fleshlight Bi Hive

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Bi-Hive

Not as extreme as the Destroya, the Bi-Hive alternates pleasure-points, ribbons and soft rings to gently massage the user while increasing the sensations for intense climax.

Wonder Wave

Fleshlight Wonder Wave

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Wonder Wave

One of the best selling textured masturbation sleeve and very popular among first time buyers, Wonder Wave features a textured canal enriched with mind-blowing waves.

Original

Fleshlight Original

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Original

The Original Fleshlight sleeve is flat and smooth. This sleeve is perfect if you have a very sensitive penis and therefore want a light sensation, or if you have an above average girth and want a smooth experience. The diameter is one inch.

Speed Bump

Fleshlight Speed Bump

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Speed Bump

All these soft massaging beads… hmm. This Fleshlight sleeve is tight and intense. If you like strong sensations, go for it.

Super Tight

Fleshlight Super Tight

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Super Tight

All right, Speed Bump is a tight sleeve, but take a look at Super Tight: 1/2 inches (13mm) in diameter. The biggest difference is that Super Tight is flat and smooth inside. So if you want it tight and ribbed go for Speed Bump, otherwise Super Tight will do it for you.

Vortex

Fleshlight Vortex

This sleeve is crazy. An hypnotic spiral of sexy chambers will grab you and take you on a unforgettable trip.

Super Ribbed

Fleshlight Super Ribbed

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Super Ribbed

This is great if you want to test your stamina. Super Ribbed feels good, too good… so good that you may come before you even realize it. If you’re after uncontrollable pleasure, a Super Ribbed sleeve may be the best Fleshlight for you.

Heavenly

Fleshlight Sleeve Heavenly

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Heavenly

This is another of those sleeves that can drive a man nuts! Heavenly has an elegant and incredibly stimulating texture… They say it’s like flying with an angel, a naughty beautiful naked Angel I would add…

Tornado

Fleshlight Sleeve Tornado

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Tornado

Twister canal and deep indentations are just some of the features of this Fleshlight Sleeve. You can get addicted to Tornado and use it like if there is no tomorrow…

Barracuda

Fleshlight Sleeve Barracuda

Fleshlight Sleeve Reviews – Barracuda

Barracuda is one of the most controversial Fleshlight Sleeves in my opinion. You’ll encounter some resistance when entering it the first time and find more ease as you thrust, just like with a partner who is losing her virginity with you.

Step 4: Fleshlight Add-Ons To Spicy Things Up (Optional)

This is optional but a lot of fun. There are quite a few add-ons that can make your Fleshlight experience much better and in some cases much more realistic (like with the incredible V-Stroker for example).

Here they are:

Shower Mount

Fleshlight Shower Mount

BYO Fleshlight Accessories – Shower Mount

Wow, the Fleshlight Shower Mount is a must. Best thing about it, you don’t need any hole in the wall since the attachment is suction based. So stick it to the wall, plug in your best Fleshlight (the one you have just built) and enjoy hand-free masturbation. I know, I should be used to this, but I’m not: the Shower Mount is a genius idea and everyone should have one in their house. Pure pleasure.

VStroker Virtual Sex Adapter

Fleshlight V Stroker

BYO Fleshlight Reviews – V-Stroker

Update 2023: V-stroker doesn’t exist anymore.

This is amazing virtual sex so close to the real thing. In fact when you attach the Vstroker Virtual Sex Adapter to your Fleshlight case your thrust will be transmitted to the girl on your computer that will moan and scream according to your rhythm and intensity. If you haven’t yet you gotta look at this and tell me if this isn’t the most brilliant invention since the wheel.

So Fresh and So Clean Combo Pack

Fleshlight Fleshwash

All right, all right. After having so much fun with your sex toy you’ll want to clean it and this combo pack helps you with just that. Keeping your favorite male sex toy tidy and scented.

Fleshlube Elements Pack

This Fleshlube Elements Pack contains Ice, Water and Fire lubricants to make your masturbator sex toy smoother and sexier while adding some spice in the middle… You don’t want a life without spice, do you?

Fleshlube Water (4oz.)

Let’s say you hate water, ice and fire. What do you do? Here’s Fleshlube Water, a soft, silky and smooth lubricant that will make your rides much more realistic and powerful.

There are other lubes you can use with Fleshlight too.

Step 5: Have Fun!

Buy a few combinations and then let us know which one you think is the best Fleshlight sleeve, by ticking your favorite on the poll below.

Which one is the Best Fleshlight Sleeve?

What’s A Fleshlight Made Of?

A Fleshlight is made of various materials, some hard and some soft, but all of which are designed to provide a realistic and pleasurable masturbation experience.

On the outside, Fleshlights have a hard, outer plastic casing that’s designed to look just like Fleshlight for a touch of added discretion. The hard exterior helps give some grip and stability to the toy that you’ll essentially be making love to.

Inside, however, a Fleshlight is made of soft, velvety SuperSkin, a material designed to perfectly imitate the sensations of real human skin.

That’s right!

The inside of your Fleshlight is made from a patented material that the company has spent decades developing to provide the absolute best in-class sensations for when it comes male masturbation.

Note that SuperSkin is similar in texture and appearance to silicone, but it’s actually a proprietary blend of materials that make Fleshlights the best male masturbators on the market.

SuperSkin is designed to be completely safe for use, even for those with skin sensitivities.

It does not contain phthalates, and is completely odorless, hypoallergenic, and non-porous, so that it’s super easy to keep clean.

Is it more expensive to build your own Fleshlight?

The good news is that it costs roughly the same, whether you buy a Classic Fleshlight model or you customize a BYO Fleshlight.

All in, building your own Fleshlight will run you just under $70 (at the time of writing), but that’s if you don’t choose to include any accessories with your purchase. Similarly, classic Fleshlight models also cost about $69 (hehe) and change.

On the other hand, Fleshlight Girls, the ones molded directly from the naughty bits of your favorite adult film stars, cost closer to $80.

Therefore, building your own Fleshlight might be slightly more cost-effective than purchasing a Fleshlight Girl, but it’s not really any more expensive than buying a classic Fleshlight.

What’s the best combination when building my own Fleshlight?

I honestly love the look of a black Fleshlight case, packed with a Stoya Destroya sleeve. But obviously, every dude is going to have his own preferences.

But that’s the beauty of building your own Fleshlight! You get to choose the combination that you want!

You can currently choose from either a black or blue case.

You’ll also get to choose between a classic Lady orifice, or a Butt. Both are extremely sexy in our opinion, but the choice is up to you!

I do miss the days (see the beginning of my review) when you could also choose the butt cheeks and the mouth as orifices!

After choosing your ideal combination of case and orifice, you’ll then have the option of choosing a Destroya, Heavenly, Mini-Lotus, Original, Super Tight, or Wonder Wave inner texture.

Literally, each one of these is designed to provide your cock with a whole world of wild sensations!

So it doesn’t really matter which one you choose, I am sure you’ll love them all.

Personally, I really love the added bumps and ridges of the Destroya, Heavenly, Mini-Lotus, and Wonder Wave sleeves.

But there’s no doubt in our minds that the smoother textures of the Original or Super Tight are going to be just as sensational.

Finally, you’ll have the option to choose from a handful of different accessories to complete your BYO Fleshlight.

Fleshlight currently offers 11 different accessories that you can include in your purchase of a Build Your Own Fleshlight.

You can choose a Fleshlight Air, Shower Mount, Sleeve Warmer, Hang Dry, Boss, Fleshpump, Joystick, Power-up, Screw Dry, Stand Dry, or Two-Player.

Whether you choose to add a couple accessories or not is completely up to you.

I do really love the Fleshlight Sleeve Warmer, which is the easiest way to “heat up” your next Fleshlight experience.

But other accessories, like the Air or Hang Dry hanger are just as practical to add to your custom Fleshlight.

Stop hesitating, get a few accessories and see what works for you, period.

Homemade Vs. Real Fleshlight

If you’re reading this, you might be arguing with yourself as to whether you should splurge on a real Fleshlight, or just try building your own DIY pocket pussy with a handful of household items you might have laying around.

And while I have plenty of faith in you that you can jerk off with a Pringles can and a few sponges strapped together with some rubber bands, I 100% recommend buying a real Fleshlight!

Sure, a Pringles can can be sexy (it’s definitely not!), but it’s not going to have the same sexy clit, labia, or butthole as a real Fleshlight.

Plus, Fleshlight truly is one of the best brands out there when it comes to male masturbation toys.

They’ve literally been designing the sexiest, easiest-to-use, best-selling male masturbation sleeves since 1998… And they’ve created a completely unique, almost human-like SuperSkin to make sure their toys feel as realistic as possible.

How can you argue with that type of experience?

Again, I really don’t doubt your ability to get off using a handful of household items. So if making your own masturbator feels like the right thing to do, then go for it!

But there’s truly no comparison to the quality, durability, and exceptional sensations of a real Fleshlight.

However, if you’re not into the idea of buying a Fleshlight, or you feel that Fleshlights are simply out of your price range, you’ll be glad to know there are plenty of cheap Fleshlights available too.

This way, you don’t have to resort to humping an empty can of your favorite snack!

But if you’re looking for a grade A+ sexual experience, quality, durability, and realism, then a real Fleshlight is your best bet.

  1. Can I make an exact replica of a molding of my vagina somehow and turn it into a sex toy for my fiancé who works out of town?
