UPDATE JULY 2023: This specific Fleshlight is no longer in production – but a ton of other Fleshlights are. This sex toy review remains as a reference for those who are interested. While you’re here, why not check out my BDSM advice, femdom advice, and BDSM scene outlines?
The Katsuni Fleshlight Girls Stroker with the “Lotus” texture is the same as most other Fleshlights on the market. It’s a Superskin sleeve that sits inside of a plastic casing where the penis can be slipped into the sleeve for pleasure. This is one of the Fleshlight “Girls” because the outer portion that you can see when holding the Fleshlight has been molded after a famous porn star – in this case, Katsuni. A Fleshlight stands at about ten inches tall and has about a three inch diameter around the circular top portion. Towards the bottom, the handle has about a two inch diameter. The Fleshlight Girls Fleshlights are unique because they come in a gorgeous, pearl-white case.
The Katsuni Fleshlight, like all other Fleshlights, comes packaged in a tall, metal tin. The tin has the “Fleshlight Girls” logo on the front as well as a sticker on the back that includes all of the information from this specific Fleshlight. The lid pops off of the tin to allow you to pull out the Fleshlight itself in the pretty pearl casing. The Fleshlight tin also includes a small packet of lubricant, care and use instructions, and since this is a Fleshlight Girl product, it also includes a small autographed picture of Katsuni. The tin can easily be used for storage of the Fleshlight if you prefer, but there’s no reason to need an extra storage unit like this tin because the Fleshlight’s plastic casing stores it just fine. However, if you, like us, have multiple Fleshlights, there’s no way to tell them apart (aside from the colored casing) unless you use the tin that has the information on the backside.
To get cleaning information out of the way so someone doesn’t end up harming their Fleshlight: Water-based lubricant is the only compatible lubricant with Superskin – the material that this male masturbator is made from. Contrary to common sense, no soap should be used to wash out the Fleshlight either – soap breaks down the material. Fleshlight sells a specific spray-on cleaner that won’t harm your Fleshlight if you’re worried about the ickies. Instead, this sex toy should be run down with warm/hot water until all of the toy has been cleaned out. You also should open up the inside by pulling on the vagina/mouth/orifice to run water into the sleeve. Afterwards, it should sit out until it dries. Once it’s dry, you can choose to store it just in the plastic casing or you can place the plastic casing back in the original tin.

Use is pretty basic. You get out you and your toy, get your water-based lubricant and cover the canal of the toy with it as well as your penis, and slide yourself into the toy. The end cap of the Fleshlight can be twisted to adjust the pressure that’s inside of the male masturbator. Since the plastic casing is completely hard, there’s really no way to control specific pressure points though like you can on some other masturbators. I don’t consider this a downside at all when you consider how much more quality you are getting with a Fleshlight. I’ve seen some guys just use it with the sleeve alone, but when we tried it, it ended up being way too stretchy and unmanageable.
This Katsuni Girls Fleshlight comes with the “Lotus” texture. According to Fleshlight and other men, the Lotus texture is the most vaginal-like texture that the manufacturer makes. In fact, all of different Girls lines all can be made with the Lotus texture since it’s made to simulate vaginal sex. Basically, you slide into a relatively loose canal before it has a “node” (basically little Superskin gates) where you would feel the muscles of the vagina. After you pop into the nodes, there’s some wave-like texture that goes throughout the back of the Fleshlight. This means that most guys will enjoy the sensation of popping into the toy the most with this texture, though I’m sure other guys won’t be complaining about using the full length.
How did we feel about it? It was so-so. As it stands, the boyfriend’s favorite texture is the Fleshlight Ice Wonder-Wave. He’s in love with the Wonder Wave texture, and that’s what we’ve found works best so far. Since the Wonder-Wave texture is only moderate in intensity, I’ve been on a “quest” to find him one that’s more intense and pleasurable. (If you’ve tried one Fleshlight and disliked it, don’t give up! Our first try was an Original texture, and he HATED it. Said it was too much effort for nothing. A different texture for us worked amazing wonders, and now he’ll ask if he *has* to use his hand or if he can use his Fleshlight instead.)
The boyfriend happens to be a tad girthier than average, so I think it might have contributed to it, but he said that he felt like the sleeve was too tight. Like the sleeve was continually trying to push him out in a way that he didn’t enjoy. So he honestly wasn’t very fond of the sleeve and ended up not being able to ejaculate by using it like he can with most of our penis masturbators. However, it’s just not the texture for us. He says that it felt too tight, and the sleeve didn’t feel realistic to him because it was just too tight. Others swear by the texture (and that’s why all of the Girls are made by it), so you might have better luck than we did.

While we really have no attachment to the “Girls” portion of the Fleshlight (He sincerely doesn’t have any crushes on porn stars, so who it’s molded after makes no difference), some Fleshlight textures are only available in the Girls series. For example, Katsuni has a unique and original Lotus Garden texture which is the “Lotus” gate/node over and over in succession instead of the rest of the sleeve. Tera Patrick has the “Twista” sleeve which is a small twist throughout the entire sleeve. So we usually pick up the Girls Fleshlights because they have a gorgeous case and unique textures we can’t get elsewhere.
So how do we feel about this Fleshlight sex toy? It’s up in the air. I have a hard time being extremely excited about it since he doesn’t really like it. It’s not a bad toy in the slightest, and we love our other Fleshlights, but I think this one just isn’t the texture for us.
