Fleshlight is a brand that became the everyday name for a hard-case male masturbator with a soft inner sleeve. The case looks like a flashlight. The sleeve is textured and replaceable. People buy them for a private, repeatable sensation that a hand does not copy.

Water-based lube keeps the material happier. The sleeve should come out to wash. A damp sleeve sealed in the case grows a smell you will not forget. Drying sticks exist because the canal stays wet if you leave it to chance.

It is a solo tool that can still appear in partnered sex if everyone likes the look of that. It does not replace a person and it does not owe anyone shame. If use crowds out sleep, work, or wanted partnered sex, the issue is habit, not the plastic case.
