Worth the price because you know what you’re getting is good quality, vs rolling the dice on something from Amazon or elsewhere.

If you like to jerk off at the computer it’s annoying to use. It’s heavy (especially the standard size), so if you ever need your 2nd hand for something expect to have to rest it against the desk or yourself. Also if you plan on using it for more than 5 minutes while sitting expect to lose most of the lube into your pubes and down your balls, and you’ll have to add more lube (which can be done through the top at least).

If you don’t live alone and you really want to go at it then you need to consider that it’s not completely quiet. One of the ‘features’ is making it tight/suction-y by adjusting the end cap on the other end. Closing it completely is not great, for me at least, but I do enjoy it partially closed, which creates the issue of air running through the small gap and every pump make a FSSSH sound which isn’t stealthy at all and kind of annoying even if nobody is around to hear it. Taking the cap all the way off and it still feels good but your dick sloshing back and fourth still makes a sound when you’re really going at it so it’s still not entirely quiet.

As far as cleaning goes your should clean it right away, but I’ve balled it up into a towel and tucked it away and cleaned it 24 hrs later with no issue. I use some amount of soap when I do even though I don’t think it’s recommended. I’ve never bought their wash or whatever they try to sell you.

For lube I don’t recommend any jelly style lubes as they get gross rather quickly. Something like Astroglide works good enough but it ‘runs out’ quickly. The best I can recommend is KY Ultragel.

The best way to use a fleshlight IMO is laying down - hear me out. First of all, buy the smaller travel sized fleshlight, I think it’s called the Surge or something. You can do this with a regular sized one but it’s physical size can be a downside for this method. Start by taking the sleeve out of the tube, fold it into something like it’s taco filling (I use a cotton undershirt) so the entrance is recessed about 1 inch into the shirt (to catch and spilled lube while you’re getting in there). Drop some lube in and get going while fully laying down on it. The greatest benefit of doing it in this missionary position is your lube last 10x as long. I can fuck that thing for a good 30 min or more before needing to add more. The only problem is looking at porn while doing it. If you just use your phone or laptop anyways then you’re good to go. If you primarily use a desktop then you’ll need to get creative. I used to drop stuff into a Plex and then stream to my phone (not recommended). I later found an easier way to do it via your phone which is to just transfer a bulk of vids that I wanted to watch using the VLC app (go to Network, turn on Sharing via Wi-Fi, type the IP address into your PC browser, drag and drop videos over). This was sufficient for a while, but I’m a degen gooner so I upgraded to a portable display that I connect with a 10ft HDMI cable to my PC (bed is close by) and control with a wireless mouse (and keyboard on occasion).

No matter how you’re using it though, it does feel great to bust a nut in something with your dick fully enveloped over dirtying a towel or whatever you do normally. If you’re doing the laying down method I described be sure the end is on top of something to catch any cum you may blast out of it when finishing.
