I've been a fleshlight user since 2020 and have owned 11 variations over time. Typical flights are sitting, varying both speed and orientation while using pornography and edging for 30+ minutes. In using this site and reading the r/fleshlight, I have discovered how differently we can all feel about our toys. These are subjective opinions.
I am 7" length, 5.5" girth, circumcised. Before reviewing a sleeve, I will have made at least 6 flights. I have found some textures to become more noticeable after several flights. My lube of choice is Gun Oil H2O. I prefer to share my general experience and compare to other reviews I have seen.

May 4th, 2023 (Exotica Texture)
This sleeve can create a variety of sensations depending up on the flight. Vina has a gorgeous vagina and I love the labia on Exotica. Sensation upon entering is quite dependent on the cap position. Too tight on the cap and it can be a struggle. This is one of the tighter sleeves I have and has some of the best suction capabilities.
The texture is twist bump twist. I really enjoy going slow with this sleeve and varying both the suction and rotation.
Lube usage is great. Little lube and then it comes to spray water recharge. If one uses too much lube, it can be a less stimulating flight. Good or amazing, depending on mood and lube.
Conclusion:
I'm a big fan of smooth / bumpy textures and Exotica does this well (with SUCTION). Not the most variety and flights can vary - but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
May 4th, 2023 (Eden Texture)
Eden is easily in my top 3 and regularly used in my flights. Again, I don't recommend folks buy based off the actress, but Janice Griffith is also stunning and beautiful and loads of fun to watch. Skin tone is fitting for the actress and that vulva is so cute.
Entering Eden is delightful with those light little beads to tickle and I continue to the square nubs. It's slightly more stimulating, but still a subtle texture that makes this sleeve soft and still exciting. Then, what is simply my favorite part: the lotus nodes. Pop. Pop pop pop through the following rings. These sections make Eden what I love so much. It's super stimulating and with the right amount of lube, it can be very hard to continue the flight. Fortunately, I am able to barely able to rest my head in the final section and often twist massage myself before attempting to pull back out.
I don't really think any sleeve replicates a real vagina but this is a great go-to. Does require more of the Gun Oil H20 than many of my other sleeves. I can get away with a recharge spray of water, but I think because of the lotus node, I often require more squirts of lube. Drying without a fan sounds like a nightmare. Again - the lotus node - likely traps water. I use the Sleevomatic, to not concern myself of growing something in Eden.
Conclusion:
I can't give enough praise for this sleeve. I have had some eye-rolling orgasms and love the "softness" throughout. Thank ILF for giving me a sleeve that continues the fantasy of being with the lovely Janice Griffith
May 3rd, 2023 (Ethereal Texture)
Ethereal is a unique sleeve. Reviews are naturally subjective, as each penis is as unique as each vagina. Eliza Ibarra is certainly one of my favorite pornstars - in body, face and performance. However, I never recommend purchasing a sleeve based on your pornstar preference. The entrance is obviously modeled after her real parts - which I find absolutely stunning.
Entering Ethereal is tight and winding. The winding part is what makes this sleeve super tight, to me. Getting through this transition bends my penis and feels different according to the orientation. I've read that others get the sensation of her moving her hips on your cock. While I like that, I also feel like this passage makes the sleeve feel quite "fleshy".
Lube usage is key. Things can feel less intense with more lube, so finding a balance is key. With Gun Oil, I find that Ethereal doesn't really require too much. The texture throughout Ethereal is wavy bumpy and less intense than some sleeves with "pointier" textures. Going slow, however can build intensity. And that's really how I love to use Ethereal
Cleaning and drying is pretty straightforward. Rinse out the residue and pat down the outside with a microfiber cloth, dry the case and connect my air dryer (SleevOmatic).
Conclusion:
Overall, Ethereal isn't some mind scrambling intense experience, but I find it extremely pleasant. I prefer to go slow with it and add water to the lube throughout my flight, so the intensity builds.
