Elsa Jean Tasty Texture Fleshlight Review: The Search Is Finally Over

Opening the box, the first thing that hits you is the pearlescent white case—a nice alternative to the usual black. But it’s also just a case, and it’s the inside that you really care about. Still, I think it’s appropriate that Elsa can be picked out easily in a lineup; she will quickly become your first choice. Also in the box is a sample pack of water-based lube, an introduction to the Fleshlight accessories, and a QR code for some goodies. I find a lot of Fleshlights to be a little … cavernous. Elsa Jean is a lot tighter, making it perfect for those of us with smaller penises. The case is no smaller than other Fleshlights, though, so if you find the bulk annoying or difficult to store, forget this one—it’s not travel-friendly and would be easily found in your sock drawer.

The design of a Fleshlight comes down to two key factors: how visually appealing it is on the outside, and how texturally interesting and enjoyable it is on the inside. Here, we can give two big ticks for both. Externally, you’ll find two large and inviting labia. Run your tongue over them to feel the details and give a tantalizing taste of what's to come. Internally, the chamber of rings at the start provides a fantastic squeezing sensation, resulting in a satisfying “pop” as you enter those luscious lips. If you enjoy a full stroke action, this is what’s going to get you. After that, the walls are lined with realistic nubs, while the second chamber contains a muted spiral or muscle-like sinews. In the final chamber, it’s a bit knobbly again. The relatively featureless central area is a bit too elongated; it might have been even better if the final chamber had been pulled forward. Still, I’m grabbing for something to complain about here; it’s an incredible sensation.

Like all Fleshlights, you can adjust the suction level by unscrewing the cap, from completely open to completely closed, making it even tighter. Although you can use the Elsa Jean handheld, it pairs better with a larger auto-stroker like the Kiiroo Keon, but you’ll need a compatible case as the original Fleshlight cases don’t work. If this is your first Fleshlight (and if it is, congrats, you made a brilliant choice), it's worth knowing a little about material safety. Fleshlights are made of a material TPR, or Thermo Plastic Rubber. While that refers to a whole range of formulations, essentially, it’s a type of porous, soft plastic. It’s used because it offers the most realistic skin feel. Unfortunately, the porous part means that from the moment it’s used once, bacteria will grow inside tiny holes in the material. And if you’re not careful with cleaning and keeping it dry, it’s very easy for mold to grow—as I found out, many years ago with my first Fleshlight. Although it’s less important than an insertable toy, you’d don’t really want to be sticking your dick in anything with mold or bacterial growth either—so it’s critical that you take care of your Fleshlight. This means washing it thoroughly after use with mild soap and water. A toy cleaner is also a good idea, though not essential. After washing, get as much of the water out as possible, and ensure the inside is completely dried by using a drying stick (not included). I find leaving it to air-dry first near a dehumidifier is best, or a radiator (don’t actually put the TPR on top of a radiator, though, as it might melt; stick a small towel in between). When you’re sure it’s completely dry, use a little renewal powder (or just corn starch). I tend to store mine with a drying stick inside them as well. When cared for correctly, a Fleshlight should last a few years of regular use. But unlike silicone masturbators and dildos, they can never be truly sanitized, so don’t consider giving away or purchasing one second-hand.

Will Elsa Jean Tasty Fleshlight be right for you? Yes, if you're average-sized or smaller. It's on the tight side, but offers good variation and a good finish. The luscious lips and pearlescent white case are a bonus. Elsa Jean has single-handedly renewed my faith in Fleshlights.
