The Fleshlight is a brand of male sex toys. The Fleshlight is designed and marketed by Interactive Life Forms (ILF).[1] The Fleshlight is named for the flesh-like material used in its inner sleeve, as well as the plastic case that houses the sleeve, which is fashioned to look like an oversized flashlight. The inner sleeve is available with vulva, anus, mouth and a more discreet slot-shaped orifice (stealth). The inner sleeves come in a choice of two colors (flesh and ice), and several internal textures.
The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin.[2] He was granted a patent in 1998 for his invention, as a "device for discreet sperm collection".[3]
Material
The Fleshlight is stated to be made of medical and food grade, phthalate-free polymers.[4] According to the Fleshlight website, the insert is not made from latex, plastic or silicone. The Fleshlight FAQ [5] claims the material is "a company secret covered by a series of US patents" but according to the patent itself (which is public), the material is an elastomeric gel being formed from a mixture of 90–94% by weight of plasticizing oil and of 5–9% by weight of a block copolymer comprising an admixture of a styrene ethylene butylene styrene block copolymer and a styrene ethylene propylene styrene block copolymer combined in a ratio of 1:5 to 5:1. Due to the chemical composition of this material, it is only suitable for use with water-based lubricants, as oil-based lubricants or soaps will damage the material permanently.

The Fleshjack brand was launched in April 2007. Fleshjack is essentially the same as a Fleshlight, but the two brands differ in that the Fleshjack is marketed for homosexual men.[6]
A mold shaped from Spunky Productions' Paris was introduced into the Fleshlight Girls (FLG) line in September 2008 in an attempt to underscore their newest textured sleeve to be released, the "Lotus". Along with the Lotus, ILF launched a new website for the FLG page featuring a Member's Lounge for V.I.P. pictures and videos of all eight models featured on the site.[7]
