Fleshlight Fleshpump Review

Personal Experience

First Impressions

Then What?

Design

Now, the Fleshpump's design is rather minimalistic and plain, but that's fine as this is more of a utility item. The plain black pump body fits comfortably in hand as well as the suction chamber if you decide to hold there. As both are plastic, they can get slippery if a splash of lube get on them. Overall, the unit looks like it means business, and not like it's going to be a party.

Ease of Use

As I mentioned the Fleshlight Fleshpump has some basic operating instructions, and as also mentioned there are only two buttons. One turns the pump on and off, the other releases pressure. During a pumping session the donut sleeve and suction chamber suction to the groin area, so at least that part of the unit isn't going anywhere. The pump side feels only slightly odd as it then becomes the heavier side and to watch your measurements, you have to hold it up. For anyone concerned about grip issues, I believe you could use the Fleshpump as long as you can keep it still while resting the pump on something. So long as you can push buttons to turn off and on, you should be solid without holding it in hand.

Quality

So how loud does this thing get and are the materials good quality? Easy answer. The pump is relatively quiet. If you are in the room you are likely to hear it, but not likely with in an adjacent room. You might also be able to hear it in a shower setting, though I'd say it's not louder than the water but instead a different sound. The only concern I have about the unit is dropping it. I'm not sure how the pump would fair from a fall, though I'm sure the suction chamber could handle a tumble. If anything I'm more concerned about it getting crushed in my drawer if it sticks up. So far, it has proved itself very reliable.

Price

But how does the Fleshpump rank when it comes to price? Taking a look around at similar electric pumps, it is on the high end of the spectrum. Almost double other relatively similar offerings from other companies. So what sets it apart? While looking around I noticed most units don't offer a similar donut sleeve that gives the same level of cushion, and though I haven't tried the competitors, I can't imagine using a pump and feel as comfortable as I do without that extra cushion. While it's supposed to come with lube in box, there isn't much else included other than a charging cable. So while all the other aspects of the pump have been excellent, I wouldn't count the cost as palatable.

Performance

Let me start off with how crazy the battery on the Fleshpump has been. I charged it when I initially received it, and used it daily for a week to a week and a half without charging again. During that time it didn't lose power until right when it died. So if you want long lasting, here it is. The suction power has remained at the same constant level, and the suction release has worked equally well. So far there have not been any battery overheating issues, clogs in the motor, or anything else go wrong with it. It has one job and it does it quite well. Oh, and if you are worried about it turning on, you are in luck because it has a travel lock!

Packaging

Some packaging inspires a whimsy, some packaging feels a bit off, some packaging might even inspire or create a feeling of magic somehow. Not this one. The Fleshpump's box was to the point, giving info about the product but not really trying to create any special interaction with the purchaser. However, I feel the box and contents fit the pump itself: simple and does what it was meant to do.

Materials and care

Okay, so that donut sleeve I mentioned? Here is was I can tell you about it. Per Fleshlight's website, it's made from 100% phthalate-free polymer materials but... I can't get much more information directly about their product than that. Other sites don't give much better information, so at this point, I wouldn't jump and say it's non-porous or safe for internal use. The rest is made of hard plastic for sure. So, clean your product folks. Whatever the actual composition, the donut is very soft and make the experience much better than it would be without. Cleaning the pump is incredibly easy as it all breaks down for super simple washing. Use a cleaner meant for sex toys and wash all surface well before rinsing with warm water. The suction chamber might be a little harder to reach in the middle, but a typical bottle scrubber makes short work of that issue.
