Fleshlight Launch

Are you looking for more info about the inconic Fleshlight Launch?

 The Fleshlight’s earlier iteration was already a game changer in the sex toys industry. I mean, where else can you indulge and pleasure yourself (and your penis) with the most realistic molded impression of a woman’s vagina. Then there comes the molded impression of the hottest porn star’s pussy and lips. Fleshlights were sold like hotcakes. Fast forward to mid-2022 and we now have been introduced to the newest addition to the growing Fleshlight universe – the Fleshlight Launch, an almost hands-free robot that delivers a mindboggling masturbation experience. Curious about it? Here’s an in-depth Fleshlight Launch Review for you.

Note: Fleshlight Launch was discontinued, and is replaced by Fleshlight Quickshot Launch, which takes the masturbation experience even further. Nevertheless, Launch is still available in select stores and online shops. Here is the full and in-depth Fleshlight Launch Review.

First and foremost, the most important thing you need to know about Fleshlight Launch, or any automatic masturbator or blowjob machines for that matter, is that it is not about promoting laziness. If you already think of masturbation or solo play as a chore, then incorporating this robot-like, football-sized motorized masturbator that syncs with the virtual reality porn videos you are watching via Bluetooth is not for you. There is hardly “leisure” about automatic blowjob machines; you have to wash, dry, and store them away in a safe place every time you finish using it (this could be a whole other blog post). The point of Fleshlight Launch, and other blowjob machines in the market, is to simulate sex in the most realistic experience possible for people who are willing to spend a little bit of money, time, and work. If you are looking to spice up your solo play and self-love, and dive deeper into the interactive content of VR porn for a more immersive and pleasurable experience, then the Fleshlight Launch is for you. 

What is Fleshlight Launch

Most blowjob machines you will find in the market today are self-contained, meaning it already has everything you need. Fleshlight Launch however is different, as it works with your favorite Fleshlights (though not all sleeves are compatible with it). If you still don’t have one in your arsenal, then you should definitely get one before you try the Launch, or at least purchase them simultaneously.

Fleshlight Launch, also called the Kiiroo Launch, is not just any sex toy or other blowjob machine – with the ability to accommodate various sleeves, sync with interactive videos, and provide variations in stroke speeds, stroke lengths, and stoke positions, this handheld automatic male masturbator is the closes thing to an actual blowjob or sex (in cowgirl position, to be specific).

Cons

• Takes a long time to fully charge (9 hrs.)
• Buttons are easy to hit and accidentally press
• Not a lot of variations in manual mode

Quick First Impressions

The intensity and tightness of the Fleshlight Launch depend on the Fleshlight Sleeve you put in. Obviously, different Fleshlight sleeves have different stimulation and intensity. Fleshlight girls like Stoya for example are pretty intense. You can basically close your eyes and imagine that adult star Stoya Destroya is riding you.

The same goes for the suction effect and smoothness, different sleeves have different suctions effect and different textures inside. But whatever sleeve you place inside, the feeling is very close to an actual mouth (or vagina).

When it comes to stimulation, you have full control of the stroke, from stroke speed, stroke length, stroke position, etc. You can even set it to its manual mode to only stimulate a certain part of your penis (stroke position), either the entire shaft, just the top part of your penis, the base of the shaft, or the center.

Fleshlight Sleeves combined with the Fleshlight Launch make a very realistic experience. The automated stroke, depth variation, speed, etc., all make a realistic experience.

What’s In Fleshlight Launch

Inside the box of Fleshlight Launch

The package comes in a plain box to keep everything discreet. Inside is surprisingly minimal. The only item other than the Fleshlight Launch is the USB charging cable (without a plug) and a quick step guide, the product manual, and of course, the authenticity card and warranty.

Note that the box doesn’t include the Fleshlight Sleeve. You will have to purchase that separately. Also, it is important to note that not all Fleshlight Sleeves can fit and work with the Launch, more details on this are below.

Fleshlight Launch Design

The Fleshlight Launch comes in classic black that looks minimalist but sleek and high-tech and is not overly futuristic. Which is a good thing as you don’t want it grabs too much attention, right?

Build-wise it feels solid and sturdy, the same quality you can expect from the brand and even Kiiroo Keon. However, it cannot stand on its end in the way it is presented in the photos on its website and its box. With that said, you can expect this sex toy to survive a drop, should things get too exciting.

There is a hollow rubber ring at the bottom edge that presses against your body when you use the Fleshlight Launch. It is firm and comfortable, even if you push it all the way. 

Fleshlight Launch Shape and Size

Fleshlight sleeves are designed to accommodate a penis of all sizes and shapes. They feel great, but they are a handful to use. So as expected, the Launch is fairly chunky as 6 inches wide and just under 13 inches long. The whole thing weighs about 3 lbs.

Sleeve Compatibility

Fleshlight Launch is designed to accommodate standard Fleshlight sleeves and a few exceptions. Fleshlight Girls, Vibro Fleshjack Boys, and gold STU cases work perfectly with the Launch.

Flight, Go, and Sex in a Can, on the other hand, are too small, while the Turbo Sleeves and Clear Ice don’t fit with the Launch at all. While the standard Fleshlight sleeves and cases are interchangeable, so if you have a well-fitted case, you can simply switch the inner sleeves. 

Charging

The Launch comes with a rechargeable battery. Unfortunately, the USB charger cable that comes with the Fleshlight Launch doesn’t come with a plug, so make sure you have one ready before the package arrives. The charging port is located at the back of the device, and it is covered by a small rubber that feels fiddly to open and remove.

The power button will light up red when the device is being charged, which will take around 6 to 8 hours. The light will turn green once it is fully charged.

Once fully charged, the Launch will run for an hour or two, which should be more than enough for solo play while watching interactive content on your favorite VR porn site.

Note that the Launch cannot be used while it’s being charged. 

Fleshlight Launch Controls and Settings

The touch control system of Fleshlight Launch is pretty simple and easy to use. There are just two buttons on the front side, the power, and the Bluetooth, pretty self-explanatory for their functions.

You can use the Bluetooth button to switch between manual mode and interactive mode. The other controls are located on the sides; the control strips include the stroke length and stroke speeds.

The controls are indeed easy to understand and use; they are sleek, but a little clunky. However, the control strips are also pretty sensitive, which can definitely cause some issues in your first couple of uses as you familiarize yourself with the device. The buttons’ placement is easy to accidentally touch, which can get pretty annoying. Raised buttons would have solved this problem. Fortunately, you can connect it with the Kiiroo app and take the controls from there.

The device is automatically set to the interactive mode when switched on. Thus, you have to press and hold the mode button (for three seconds) to switch it to manual mode.

The manual mode features multiple settings that let you control the device through its side panels. You can set the stroke speeds, stroke length, and stroke position. Making small adjustments with it, however, is quite difficult, if not impossible, while your penis is already inside. This can be frustrating especially if you are already in the zone and past the point of no return. It would have been nice if they include random modes or the ability to make preset movements and speed, to make it more of a realistic experience. 

How to Use Fleshlight Launch

Manual Mode

As said earlier, this device works in two modes, manual and interactive. The former is already pretty intuitive, which allows you to get a realistic experience by playing with various functions like stroke length, speed, position, etc. The buttons are easy to press, but again, can be easy to accidentally press too. You can, of course, use your smartphone and control the Fleshlight Launch via an app.

On the left control strip you have stroke controls; swipe away from your body to go faster, and swipe the button towards you to go slow.

On the right control, the strip is the stroke length control; swipe away for longer strokes and swipe towards you for shorter.  You can also adjust the stroke position by pressing one of the three spots on the control strip, the nearest spot from you is for your shaft, while the farthest is for the tip of your penis.

Before using (inserting it in) the Launch, it would be a lot more convenient if you lube the sleeves first. Make sure you wipe your hands off afterward to avoid a slippery accident with the automatic masturbator.

If this is your first time using a device like this, it would be best to set it at the lowest speed setting too, and familiarize the feeling (and functions) before you gradually move up. The fastest stroke speed is 180 strokes per minute, which is pretty fast, and probably physically impossible for a human being to do.

As said earlier, Fleshlight Launch is the closest thing to the real thing – so expect the sensation to be different from any other sex toys you have tried before. You can control the functions through the buttons on the side panels.

The maximum stroke length is about 3 inches, which should be more than enough to do the job (for the majority of the population, at least). Some people find the stroke travel a little short, but changing the stroke position can definitely compensate for this shortcoming. Pair that with your favorite sleeve and you can expect to get a mindboggling experience like never before (at least with a sex toy). 

Interactive Mode

The interactive mode is where the real fun starts; you can sync the device with interactive porn or VR porn and the device will replicate what the actors are doing in the video. This can be quite fun and can get pretty intense, especially if you are wearing a VR headset.

To access the interactive content, you will need the app installed on your smartphone (or similar device) and watch videos straight on your smartphone. This may take a little time to set up, but trust us when we say it will be all worth it. 

Setting Up Fleshlight Launch’s Interactive Mode

Syncing with Interactive Videos

Step 1 – Make sure to check out the troubleshooting flowchart from Kiiroo.

Step 2 – Check out FeelMe.com instructions and configurations.

Step 3 – Check out Pornhub’s instructions.

 As said earlier, Fleshlight Launch lets you enjoy porn even more by connecting and syncing to compatible adult content (via the FeelConnect app). You can download this app from Google Play and iTunes app store.

To sync your device, connect the device and follow the setup instructions. Once you have set up everything, you can start watching porn on your TV or PC through the app (use the QR code to connect). Note that you cannot watch porn on the same device you connect it within this kind of setup, so if you need another device to connect your phone with.

As of writing, there are currently three providers for interactive content for Fleshlight Launch, namely Pornhub, Ufeel, and FeelMe. They offer free videos, and as with most things in life, the best ones are available for a reasonable (subscription) price, if not cheap. These websites have hundreds of contents that can sync with Launch, and they regularly update and add more content. That means you can fantasize about having sex with your favorite adult entertainment stars, like Riley Reid, Kayden Kross, Dillion Harper, etc.

FeelMe for example also features an interactive Camgirl section that lets you enjoy virtual sex with a real human being through your Launch. This means it will speed up, slow down, pause, and then start stroking your penis again in different lengths, speeds, and positions, depending on the video you are watching. Basically, your solo play depends on the video you are watching. The connection between what you see on screen and the things that are happening on your penis is quite a trip. If you enjoy blowjob videos, then you will definitely enjoy them even more with this tool.

 Shockingly Quiet Operation

The most common problem among male masturbators and blowjob machines in the market is their noisy operation. Indeed, electrical and mechanical noise can easily disrupt the vibe and kill the mood. And you wouldn’t like to use a noisy machine if you are living with other people in your place, right? Well, not this one, Fleshlight Launch is surprisingly quiet, even quieter than an inkjet printer.

While it is not totally noiseless, the faint sound that this device makes is more than good enough compared to other blowjob machines in the market. You can easily mask it with other ambient noise or muffle it by doing it underneath a blanket. 

Not Totally Hands-Free

As said earlier, the whole device is chunky and feels solid. With that said, you will have to learn how to balance it on your crotch if you want a hands-free solo play experience by getting creative. Some people report using pillows and doing it in different positions to find the best angle for them.

And since it is chunky, it is bulky to store away too. It would be best to keep its packaging box and place it back in before storing it in your closet or underneath the bed.

Choose a Fleshlight Sleeve

The good thing about Fleshlight Launch is its compatibility with a wide range of Fleshlight sleeves and covers. With that said, different sleeves can give you an entirely different experience, from tightness, texture, intensity, etc. This is why sleeve selection is also an important part of the process. Moreover, some sleeves can be more intense than others especially after you finish as they can be over-sensitizing.

Should you get this automatic masturbator, it would be best to try out different sleeves too to spice things up from time to time. Some of the best sleeves (recommended) for Launch are Kendra Sunderland Angel sleeve, Vortex, Jenna Jameson Legend, etc.

Asa Akira Dragon sleeve is the most realistic out there, it is soft yet intense, though it is not as tight as the others. This is great if you are looking to thrust it further, either by using the sleeve alone or with the Launch.

If you like it textured and super intense, then Stoya Destroya is the tightest one out there. It comes with three chambers with different textures and sensations inside, not to mention a really powerful suction feature from the tapered tight canal on the third chamber.

If you want variety in different textured angles, then you should check out Jessica Drake Heavenly. It goes from deep tight and smooth to the beaded and ribbed and winding texture that truly lives up to its name – heavenly.

If you are looking into some anal action, then Adriana Chechik’s Next Level is the best one out there. The actress herself is famous for anal scenes, and this butt sleeve does just that. It is probably the most realistic anal Fleshlight on the market.

If you are looking for a sleeve that helps you last longer for the real thing, then the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit is for you. As its name suggests, it is a stamina training unit, meaning it can be pretty intense. Thus, it can make you finish quickly, and depending on your preference, that can be a good or a bad thing. Nonetheless, you can use it for practicing edging. It has a uniformed big fleshy bump pattern inside that feels quite realistic, plus the suction action you get is pretty intense. 

Cleaning the Fleshlight Launch

If you have been using Fleshlight Sleeves, then you are pretty accustomed to the fiddly cleaning process. The Launch, however, is a lot easier to clean, as you don’t actually put your penis inside it.

The hard matte case is super easy to wipe clean using a damp clean cloth and remove lubes. Make sure you clean it thoroughly by wiping off all the lubes that can get splattered inside, as it can get pretty awkward dealing with that slimy thing in your next use.

Cleaning the Fleshlight Sleeves

If you want to enjoy your sex toy and get the best bang for your buck, then you cannot be lazy with it after use. Make sure you clean your sleeves thoroughly.

To clean it, simply rinse it with running water. Use an unscented mild detergent to make sure it is thoroughly cleaned inside, or a sex toy cleaner to cut all the hassle.

Then, leave the sleeves to dry. It would be best if you have a drying rack.

Whatever you do with your Fleshlight sleeves, make sure you refer to the manufacturer for the instructions before using and before washing and cleaning them. 

Fleshlight Launch Review: The Takeaway

Like the Fleshlight, the Fleshlight Launch is truly a game changer. If you think the regular Fleshlight of your favorite porn star is good, pairing it with the Launch will take your masturbation experience to a whole new level.

Also, the interactive mode which allows you to pair and sync it with porn videos makes a mindboggling experience. It definitely lives up to its hype.

While they, unfortunately, discontinued Launch (still available in sex toy stores and adult websites), the Quickshot Launch is said to take this mind-bogglingly realistic experience even further.
