First Impressions
After reviewing the TENGA Air Tech Twist Ripple Male Masturbator Cup for Cara recently (and comparing it with Fleshlight Products) it seemed a great opportunity this month to get my hands on an updated Fleshlight and give it a whirl. So I was very pleased to be chosen by Cara to review the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy this time round; I eagerly awaited its arrival.
Whilst waiting I checked out the information on the Fleshlight website to see what I would encounter. In particular, the details describing the lining of the sleeve itself. I found the following information.
About The Cougar Texture
Fleshlight Sensation: Cougar
COUGAR: Whether it’s the mighty sidewalls loaded with pleasurable and soft elevated discs or the rows of countless micro-bumps that will glide you into an intense orgasm, this is one texture that can only be summed up as legendary. It wasn’t easy designing a signature texture as epic as Nina herself but we did it. The result is sure to astound your senses from all angles.
About Nina Hartley
Nina Hartley herself is something of a porn star legend, having appeared in hundreds of movies over a long-lasting career. So, it is only apt that Fleshlight themselves acknowledge the super-star status and produce what is their second Nina Hartley product. It is noticeable that Fleshlight are building quite a portfolio of signature sleeves and it is quite nice to see a number being made in the MILF category to ensure all tastes and preferences are catered for.
Packaging
Once the package arrived, it was noticeable how large and heavy the Fleshlight was in comparison with the TENGA product from last month. The Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy just feels a bit more sturdy. Perhaps a little more quality in comparison. The item itself is packaged in a not particularly subtle cardboard casing, which shows a variety of information about the product, including the all-important image of the lining of the sleeve itself. Around the box are also an array of images of Nina herself, looking absolutely stunning.
In The Box
Once opened, the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy is easily removed. It comes complete with a sample of a water based lube, some instructions for use and cleaning. Plus, there’s some advertising material of the range of different Fleshlight products that are available. I quite liked the inclusion of the advertising material to highlight the variety of products and accessories available to complement the product.
The Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy itself comes containing a plastic rod lining which is luckily easily spotted and removed to prevent any embarrassing injuries during first use.
One thing I was surprised about the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy was quite how white the container was once out of the packet. It really is not a particularly subtle container. But hey-ho, as I have said before I am not sure anyone is tricked by the flashlight styling.
Sleeve Material
A real selling point with all Fleshlight products is how soft the material of the sleeve is. Whilst the exact material used by the company remains a highly protected secret, strongly patented in the late 1990’s, it is a phthalate free material which is always comforting to know. The material is very soft to the touch and can be easily warmed prior to use, by placing in warm/hot water to give an even more realistic sensation. The material has no noticeable odour and really is, in my opinion, at the top of end of the market for penis masturbation toys.
Entrance
The opening of the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy sleeve is of course moulded around Nina herself and has quite a wide opening, with the product perhaps aimed at the more well-endowed amongst us.
Some of the other signature Fleshlight sleeves can feel a lot tighter in comparison with the roughly 2cm opening, however, I did not feel that this impacted on the sensation greatly.
The insertable length of the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy sleeve is roughly 22cm so this is more than adequate for the majority of users. In addition to the moulding taken from Nina, there is also a small signature that is raised up on the surface of the sleeve, to allow you to identify the sleeve once you have built up an insert collection.
Sleeve Texture
The lining of the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy sleeve is consistent throughout and features a number of C shaped ribbings around the inside. These are evenly spaced out and provide a good sensation during use, if not quite as intense as some of the other Fleshlight inserts that are available.
The subtle approach of this sleeve is quite pleasant and certainly allows you to build up the pleasure during use. In addition to the rings that are inside the insert, there are also a number of raised bumps which add to the pleasure during use.
Suction & Feel
As with all Fleshlights, the casing features a simple twist-end that allows you to vary the suction that you feel during use. This further adds to the fantastic sensation. Whilst it is not as varied as the TENGA product I previously reviewed, it is more than adequate for building up that sensation.
All in all the feel of the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy still wins hand down for me. The subtlety of this insert will only add to the small collection that I have begun to build. They have a consistently high-end feel, with their super soft and inviting feel.
Clean Up
As with all Fleshlights, the clean-up of the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy is incredibly easy and simple. It involves pulling the sleeve out of the outer casing and rinsing down with warm soapy water, before a quick spray and clean with a straightforward sex toy cleaning product and leaving it to dry.
In terms of longevity it seems to be a bit of a how long is a piece of string style question. However, Fleshlight themselves claim that the product can give you a lifetime of pleasure, something I am looking forward to testing out.
Conclusion
The only real improvements I could consider to the Fleshlight Nina Hartley Cougar Pussy would firstly be the girth could be slightly smaller to intensify that sensation further. Also, the plastic casing of the Fleshlight could really be toned down slightly, but all in all these really are very minor changes.
After the previous month’s liaison with the TENGA product, which I really did enjoy, I feel that I have rediscovered the magic that the Fleshlight products really can provide. I also feel I may have answered my Blur v Oasis, Samsung v IPhone, Fleshlight v TENGA dilemma.
9/10

Nina Hartley Fleshlight: FAQ
What does the Cougar texture feel like?
Evenly spaced C-shaped ribs and micro-bumps give a steady build of stimulation rather than an intense spike, great for edging or longer sessions.
Does the case have adjustable suction?
Yes. The twist-end cap lets you fine-tune airflow for looser strokes or tighter suction.
Which lube should I use?
Use a quality water-based lubricant. Avoid silicone or oil-based lubes which can damage the sleeve over time.
How do I keep the sleeve silky?
Let it dry fully after rinsing, then dust lightly with renewing powder or cornflour to prevent tackiness.
