The RP Project #4: TENGA's Flip Hole Black

And now, something completely different...

The fourth review of the Rubber Pussy Project discuss something that doesn't even looks like a pussy (or any other sexual organ): TENGA's Flip Hole Black. This masturbator from the Japanese company TENGA can be considered revolutionary by its stylish exterior design, the fact of being part of the limited reusable TENGA lineup (most TENGA products are designed for single use, although users had found ways to reuse them up to 10 or more times), and the innovative drying method. Anyway, I had fucked this black cased hole and this is its review...

First Impressions:
 Looking at the TENGA Flip Hole series, the first thing to admire is their external design. They are designed to look as anything but a sex toy. No vaginal entrance, no decals, nothing shouting "pervert" aloud like other sex toys. Fleshlights are easy to conceal if they are inside the case, but try to explain the vaginal / mouth / anal entrance if someone turns the large cap. You can leave the Flip Hole in plain sight and while it will make some people curious, most people will believe you if you tell them it is part of your electronic gadgetry collection.

"It is my wi-fi antenna finder..."

When you open the clam-designed case, you find a labyrinth of intimidating silicon textures. You  will see triangular wedges, nubs, spheres and a bunch of other crazy shit that will make you think "How am I going to put my cock here?".


Edges, wedges, orbs, and spheres: TENGA's obstacle course for your cock




As established in the rules, I used the Flip Hole for 5 consecutive occasions, using a homemade mix of  Xantham Gum as the lubricant, and using it hands free at least in two occasions. Now, lets break down the review:


Intensity (5 / 5)

The Flip Hole Black (FHB from now on) promises intensity - and it delivers.


The array of textures inside the FHB make their presence known right after you penetrate this toy. The massage feels kind of rough at first - the material is not as soft as in the Fleshlights and the textures are basically structures pressing your penis all around - but once the lube begins to do its work, the FHB structures do their work. The walls at the entrance press the shaft while the slightly more delicate orbs and edges torture the head, driving you crazy. In my case, the intensity was too strong, forcing me to stop moving inside the FHB and waiting for a few minutes before trying again. Rotating the FHB allows you to have a completely different sensation at every quarter turn, allowing some adjustment of intensity.

When the inevitable orgasm arrives, it does hard regardless of the method used (hands free or stroking). The orgasm is so intense that they made me grunt like an animal and left my little fellow extremely sensitive for minutes after cumming. In three of the occasions, I had to stay inside the FHB until the waves of the orgasm subsided - I felt I was still cumming after 30 or more seconds.

Tightness (5/5)
The FHB entrance is tight - really tight. With a mere 4.5 inches girth I had some problems entering this toy and looking at the entrance while doing it, I was often afraid the whole thing was going to rip apart. Once inside it felt just right.
For those who likes suction / extra tightness, the FHB has the now famous three suction discs that allow the user to vary the tightness at either the base, the shaft or the head areas with one hand. Personally, since I liked the regular suction of the toy, I didn't use these discs. Anyhow, it's good to know they are there...    

Likeness (2/5)
The FHB is not designed to simulate any type of real sex, it is designed to make you cum fast, hard, and as much as you can.

Versatility (5/5)
Surprisingly, the FHB worked really well in the hands free sessions, something I didn't expect because it was designed more for stroking. Stroking provides a sharper, more intense session while the hands free method provided slightly longer sessions with a better orgasm build. Since this toy is full of textures, any single variation in angle or position made the FHB a new experience during the sessions making this toy an extremely versatile one.

Lubricant use (5/5)
Once lubed, the FHB didn't require any extra lube or re-wetting. Perfect score in this category.

Use (3/5)
The FHB has two flaws in this category: setup and noise. Due to its clamshell design, the base has a triple duty as base, lock and drying stand. After lubing it, you need to slide the base in the opposite to lock both halves in position. Doing this while hard and wanting to do it fast so could fuck the toy is almost a torture because I missed the positioning so many times that it was frustrating. Often I was almost limp again after struggling to place the damn thing in place.
The other flaw (from my perspective) is the slurping and farting noises this toy makes while using it. Slurping noises add a little bit to the excitement given that you don't have a roommate or paper thin walls on your room. The farting noises are a totally different issue. I found them to be distracting and even annoying. At least, the noise is almost non noticeable during hands free sessions, but really distracting during stroking sessions.

Hygiene (4 / 5)
One of the major selling points of the FH series is that they are supposed easy to clean. Well, I prefer cleaning a Fleshlight over cleaning the FHB. Regardless of the Fleshlight design, they are pretty easy to clean - just open a faucet with cold or warm water and allow the running water to flush the interior. With the FHB, you open the toy, put it under the faucet... and run your fingers through it to clean your spunk. Since the FHB has so many intricate structures, semen stays trapped between them - specially the ending orbs. Running water alone can't clean it effectively, so I ended doing some scrubbing with my fingers to remove all the semen from it. With 95% of my Fleshies I don't have to scoop my fluids - a big plus.

Drying (4/5)
The FHB design allows for fast and easy drying. Surprisingly, the material dries pretty quickly considering the maze of structures inside it. The only drawback is that while cleaning some water can get trapped between the silicone and the plastic case, requiring the user to be careful before storing to avoid mold. 

Maintenance (5 / 5)
I had this toy for five months and it had not required any special maintenance.

Tear and wear (4/5)
After the 5 use run, I found some minor tears on the entrance and some wear on the discs areas. No effect whatsoever on the experience. 

Total score: 42 / 50

All aspects considered, the FHB is a good toy investment given that your penis is not too thick. If you have a girth above 5.5 inches, prepare for a tight ride and some major wear and tear on the toy's entrance and body.


TENGA products are available at various resellers, but I would recommend to buy your Japanese toys from Toy Demon. I buy my Asian toys from them and their service is excellent.

FYI: The visual stimuli for these sessions was provided by Private's House of Games and Hot Assphalt. They are "old" movies (2003 and 2005), but Bobbi Eden, Letizia Bruni, and Anastacia Mayo deserve to be seen.

ILF unveils the long awaited Alien

Today, ILF, the people behind Fleshlights relaunched the Alien - a blue sleeve with a triangular shaped vaginal entrance. This FL had been  requested by hardcore Fleshlight users since its last edition back in 2008 and they complied adding a new combo texture. Check the add on their blog. To give you a heads-up, here is the picture:
The sleeve launched today for $75 (FL only) and is also available as a combo with nothing less than the new Hustler parody "This is Not Avatar XXX" for $90. The movie comes in both the 2D and 3D versions, so $15 for the first "3D XXX movie" (as boasted by Hustler) is not bad. Already ordered mine at Fleshlight.com and hopefully should be here between monday and Tuesday of next week.

Will keep you posted...

The RP Project #3: Jesse Jane's Gauntlet Fleshlight

The third review of the Rubber Pussy Project discuss Jesse Jane's signature texture for the Fleshlight Girls series: The Gauntlet. As with all the Fleshlight Girls (FLG from now on), this sleeve has an opening molded from the vagina of a porn star, in this case Jesse Jane. The texture is one of the recent multi-textured sleeves : a combination of various FL textures offered in the same sleeve.


Nice photo, even if you don't like blonds! (Photo: Fleslight / ILF)

As established in the rules, I used the Ms. Jane's FLG for 5 consecutive nights, using a homemade mix of  Xantham Gum as the lubricant, and using it hands free in two occasions. Now, lets break down the review:


Intensity (4 / 5)

The Gauntlet is kind a greatest hits record - it was the first attempt from Fleshlight to combine the most liked aspects of previous textures in a single sleeve (the Stoya Destroya and the Private Primal follow the same idea of combining current textures).




The Gauntlet combines the micro ribs found on the Forbidden, the "teeth" from the Swallow, the inverted node of the Lotus, the Fangs from the Succu-Dry, and last but not least, the pillows from the STU. All these textures are considered pretty much intense, and the idea of combining them in a single sleeve was to provide the most intense FLG at the moment. Unfortunately, it fails to provide that level of intensity - unless your penis is longer than 7 inches.
With a 5 inch long penis, I reach part of the Fang texture, a texture that is extremely pleasurable, but is intense only when close to orgasm. Even with that drawback, the Gauntlet gives a good ride. The "teeth" and the slight resistance of the inverted node provide immediate feedback and it continues increasing until you are surprised by fangs. The Fang texture feels soft at first, but stroking or thrusting slowly they really feel sharp, "biting" your penis (in my case, the head of my penis received those bites).
Orgasms were the most vocal I had since starting the RPP, making me grunt loudly when using it hands free. It is intense, but the Gauntlet fails to score a 5 due to the scale factor - if shorter penis owners could experience the whole texture, the Gauntlet would receive a perfect score. 

Tightness (4/5)
The Gauntlet is tight enough to satisfy most users. The entrance is tighter than expected thanks to the micro ribs and the Jesse Jane mold is maybe one of the most appealing (at least for me). Unfortunately, the FLG case doesn't provide enough suction to make this FLG shine as a cum drainer.    

Likeness (3/5)
This FLG was not designed to simulate real sex, and the texture lets you know that fact from the start. Nevertheless, the molding of Jesse Jane's pussy does give some reality sense when using the texture in hands free mode. Its clitoris presses nicely on the pelvic area when going balls deep into the FLG, creating an illusion of reality that is not present on the Lupe Fuentes or the generic vagina molds. .

Versatility (5/5)
This sleeve allows for both manual stroking and hands free use. Something about the Gauntlet is that it feels completely different based on how you use it in terms of method, position, end cap placement and angle. It is an extremely versatile texture highly recommended for hands free sessions. 

Lubricant use (4/5)
This sleeve retains lube pretty well, but unlike the Mini Lotus, here the more lube you use, the better the Gauntlet feels. To keep full enjoyment of the texture, I had to re-lube twice during sessions lasting 30 minutes or more (longest session was a two-hours hands free with various edging rests). As with the Lupe Fuentes, applying lube to the penis head and the entrance of the sleeve is required to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the sleeve.

Use (5/5)
Lube, Insert, Fuck, Repeat until Cum. No major issues with using this sleeve.

Hygiene (5 / 5)
All Fleshlights are pretty easy to clean - just open a faucet with cold or warm water and allow the running water to flush the interior. Since all fleshlights are open ended sleeves, running water through them between 20 and 60 seconds is more than enough to clean them. Adding some alcohol after each use helps to avoid any mold or fungi to develop inside the canal.

Drying (4/5)
The Gauntlet dries slightly better than the Mini Lotus, but still requires between 3 to 6 hours of hanging out before safe storage.

Maintenance (4.5 / 5)
The sleeve got somewhat sticky after a few uses, something fixed by rubbing it with corn starch before storing it for a long time. To keep the toy in top condition, I cover it with corn starch whenever it is going to be stored for more than one week.

Tear and wear (5/5)
No tears or noticeable wear observed after the weekly sessions.

Total score: 43.5 / 50

The Jesse Jane FLG with the Gauntlet texture is a good buy for anyone looking for a texture that builds up in intensity until reaching the orgasm. If you are looking for a texture to enjoy sessions between 20 and 60 minutes, the Gauntlet is a texture you should consider.

If you want to buy this FLG, you should go here!

P.S.: While using this toy, I used the following movies for "inspiration": Private's Cleopatra 1 & 2, and Millionaire 1 &2.

The RP Project #2: Lupe Fuentes' Mini Lotus Fleshlight

For the second review, I tested the Lupe Fuentes' Fleshlight. This sleeve has an opening molded from the vagina of web / porn star Lupe Fuentes and it has the mini-lotus internal texture. Although the texture shares its name with the Lotus Lager, they have differences on how they feel.



As established in the rules, I used the Lotus Lager for 5 consecutive nights, using a homemade mix of  Xantham Gum as the lubricant, and using it hands free in two occasions. Now, lets break down the review:


Intensity (3.5 / 5)

Like its smaller relative, the LFML has a series of different sized chambers that tries to replicate the feelings of vaginal sex. Like the Lotus Lager, its intensity will depend on the quantity of lube you use. The difference is that Lupe feels looser due in great part to the larger size of the sleeve and the additional space to expand most full sized Fleslights give to its sleeves. The intensity of this sleeve is on the middle level since it gives a constant soft pressure and the popping of the cervical node. Orgasms with this sleeve build upon you, giving high intensity near the climax making you to moan loudly or even becoming vocal. The problem is that the orgasm is intense but short lasting - you want to repeat the session as soon as you finish cumming.

Tightness (3/5)
As said, the sleeve feels looser than the Lotus Lager version. In Lupe, the lack of suction similar to the SIAC case allows its use fully closed, but still doesn't feel tight as other textures.   

 Likeness (4/5)
Once properly lubed, fucking the LF Fleshlight feels pretty close to real vaginal sex. Unfortunately, the sleeve doesn't have any interior texture such as bumps or ridges, leaving all the stimulation to the size variation of the main canal. Close, but not exactly the same...

Versatility (5/5)
This sleeve allows for both manual stroking and free hand use. Full sized Fleshlights allow for hard trusting when using it hands free - a huge difference from its smaller relative.

Lubricant use (5/5)

This sleeve retains lube perfectly, requiring to reapply or re-wet thelube only in sessions longer than 30 minutes. Applying lube to the penis head and the entrance of the sleeve is required to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the sleeve.

Use (5/5)
No major issues with using this sleeve.

Hygiene (5 / 5)
All Fleshlights are pretty easy to clean - just open a faucet with cold or warm water and allow the running water to flush the interior. Since all fleshlights are open ended sleeves, running water through them between 20 and 60 seconds is more than enough to clean them. Adding some alcohol after each use helps to avoid any mold or fungi to develop inside the canal.

Drying (3/5)
This is probably the Achilles heel of this toy - it requires between 5 to 12 hours to dry completely without using any fan or blower. Hanging the sleeve in the open air to dry takes time due to the chamber structure and especially because of the inverted node at the beginning of the sleeve. That node retains water and humidity, so if there is a lot of humidity in the air, expect to have your Lotus Lager hanging for a few hours.

Maintenance (4.5 / 5)
 The sleeve got disgustingly sticky after a few uses, something fixed by rubbing it with corn starch before storing it for a long time. To keep the toy in top condition, I cover it with corn starch whenever it is going to be stored for more than one week.

Tear and wear (4/5)
This sleeve is relatively new, but it present a tear on the exterior ribs and some abrasions on the entrance. None of those limits enjoying the sleeve.

Total score: 42 / 50

The Lupe Fuentes Fleshlight with the Mini-Lotus texture is a good investment for any individual that likes to have longer sessions.The lack of internal textures and the looser feeling made each section to last between 30 minutes up to 3 hours.

Which one is better: the Lotus Lager or the Lupe Fuentes?

It depends on the method used for the session. If the session is stroking using the hand, the Lotus Lager is better - the smaller size allows for easier stroking and the suction is great. If doing a freehand session, Lupe Fuentes has to be my choice thanks to its size and weight. Also, the Lupe Fuentes, being a full sized Fleshlight, allows for a better penetration and thrusting because it doesn't cave in during freehand sessions.

In general, if your girth is above 5.5 inches and / or your penis is longer than 6 inches, the Lupe Fuentes is a better option because the full size of the Fleshlight will fit you without problems.
