Fleshlight Universal Launch Toy review: Binary but Brawny

This Fleshlight Universal Launch toy review has been updated, and is now more on point. In short, the Universal Launch is a simple BJ machine that suits men who don’t want any of the gizmo’s – just a bog standard machine that can handle a fullsize Fleshlight. It has a few flaws, but if you want a powerful machine that will thrust 10 inch case Fleshlights with genuine gusto – handsfree, then the Universal Launch is just about without peer.

Well, almost. The Handy does struggle a little with a fullsize Fleshlight’s weight, but it still goes like the clappers – much faster than the Universal Launch can, albeit with different ergonomics. The Keon just about manages fullsize Fleshlights too, they protrude out the top, but it does the job, about the same speed as the UL.

They are both more advanced in different ways too, but in truth it’s the Universal Launches simplicity which captures men’s imagination.

It’s a simple motorized stroker, with just speed, stroke length and shaft position buttons, ergonomically placed like a Formula 1 car’s thumb-touch steering wheel.

This in turn allows the Fleshlight Universal Launch to stand free on your pelvis, meaning you can kick back with one of the best automatic blowjob machines, slip on your headphones, and stick on your favourite material.

It houses full-size Fleshlights only, and it goes pretty fast at 4 full-length strokes/sec! Mmmmm, so faster than its predecessor the Fleshlight Launch, a collaborative effort by Kiiroo and Fleshlight, that delivered 180 strokes a minute.

Four long strokes in a second isn’t tame, and if you already have your own stroker, the Universal Launch’s ratchet system keeps things simple, letting you slip your favourite love tunnel straight in and you’re off.

UNIVERSAL LAUNCH

 

 

How does the Fleshlight Universal Launch work?

In short, you have 3 settings:

• Stroke length – 3 to 4 inches on longest stroke, half an inch on shortest.
• Stroke speed – 4 different speeds with fastest on full length at 250 per minute.
• Stroke position – choose the base, middle or head, the latter being most intense.

1. To use the Fleshlight Universal Launch, you first need to connect it to your compatible stroker.The device has an adjustable ratchet grip that can accommodate various sized Fleshlights, FeelStars and other pocket pussies provided they’re in a case or hard shell.
2. Once attached, you can control the speed and intensity of the stroking and thrusting motions on your desired location, be it the base, mid or crown, using the buttons on each handlebar.
3. The Launch is equipped with a rechargeable battery, so you can use it wirelessly. It lasts over an hour on full whack.

 

Why buy the Fleshlight Universal Launch?

People who buy the Fleshlight Universal Launch, generally do so because:

a) They can afford it.
b) They already have their own Fleshlight, FeelStar or different sized Onahole that can be used in the machine.
c) Have no use for bluetooth or any pairing ability; or prefer manual mode. (Note – you have the PowerBlow now which you can add to make your sleeve interactive around your crown).
d) Want to have the versatility to use plugged in, while also taking it for a roam, so a good battery.
e) Want a machine stroker that withstands frequent use.
f) Prefer a blowjob machine that will stand handsfree.

 

Can you use the Fleshlight Universal Launch for interactive content?

If you’d had asked before July 9th 2023, the answer would have been a no, and to be clear the Fleshlight UL is still without bluetooth, so it has zero pairing capabilities.

However, you do now have a new machine powered suction accessory called the PowerBlow, which screws directly into the end of a Fleshlight or FeelStar.

The PowerBlow will sync with 2D and 3D content, pair with your partners sex toy and revamp your 2D porn archives into interactive material.

So while the Universal Launch is stroking your column, the PowerBlow will treat your head to variety of interactive and pre-programmed BJ patterns, or you can just select manual.

Kiiroo is at the forefront of men’s pleasure interactive technology, and should you be seeking a more immersive, interactive experience then the Keon would be a better fit.

 

Tips for using the Universal Launch

1. Switch to lowest or second lowest speed with the largest stroke setting for drawing out your orgasms.
2. If using a full size fleshlight, be sure to house it as high up in the UL as you can before plunging in, as it may chafe your pubic region, if you set its stroking position to base.
3. Get yourself the Turbo Thrust – it complements the Launch beautifully.
4. Cure your Death Grip Syndrome – DGS, when you experience desensitization of the willy through excessively firm masturbating.
5. Shortest stroke length is mostly benign, the second stroke setting works better for edging.
6. If balancing for a handsfree ride is proving difficult, try propping it up against an object like a desk or table, while sat reclining in your office chair. Alternatively, one of these Fleshlight mount ideas may prove helpful.
7. If you’re without a stroker, grab yourself one of the best cheapest Fleshlights and save yourself at least $20.

 

Which strokers will the Fleshlight UL hold?

The Universal Launch fits only full-size fleshlight models. The Flight series, the medium sized ones like the Aviator, plus the Quickshots, don’t fit.

The entire FeelStar range however will slot straight in.

 

Which strokers won’t the Fleshlight UL hold?

Essentially, any love tunnel not housed in a case can’t be strapped in. For those, try the Handy.

However, if you own Magic Eyes say, you could potentially build your own Fleshlight case, but better off buying a Fleshlight case for 20 bucks or 3D printing one for peace of mind, to house your onahole, provided it’s the right fit. Fleshlight magic happens when the case and the sleeve work in concert, so needs to be a good fit, but where there’s a will there’s a way.

Wrapping up

Out of all the retail automatic BJ machines on the market for 2025, while the Universal Launch still has one of the best motors and it delivers some lovely long strokes, it’s hard to argue its case as the best automatic BJ machine.

It’s not really worth the price when you compare it to its contemporaries, that come with a sleeve and sometimes a mount for a similar price, not to mention their breadth of features and AI skills.

Honestly I’d say it’s a toss up over the Handy or the Keon at the end of the day, given they’re the same price and they’ll hold full-size Fleshlights. What sets these two apart is velocity, and if it’s speed you need, then go for the Norwegian built Handy, you won’t regret it, top machine.
