How Tenga Masturbators are Revolutionizing Male Pleasure

Male masturbators are a drop in the ocean of female masturbators. Anyone who is familiar with adult toys could probably name 6 types of vibrators off the top of their head. But, if you were to ask about male toys, Fleshlight is pretty much the name most would think about.

But this was before the Japanese sex toy brand Tenga became popular. Tenga raised the bar for male masturbators by creating aesthetically designed discreet toys. Their male pleasure toys have specific concepts. Even the regular strokers come with a twist.

Tenga masturbators are also ridiculously affordable at times, divided into disposable and non-disposable toys. Let’s take a look at how Tenga reinvented male pleasure toys.

Understanding Tenga and its Pleasure Innovation

Tenga first came onto the scene in 2005, with a small range of creative male toys. It didn’t take long for Tenga to become a global sensation, with 20% of sales coming from 41 countries, namely the United States, Canada, China, etc.

And the sale number from worldwide distribution is only 20% because Tenga is overwhelmingly popular in its home turf, Japan. 85.7% of Japanese men are acquainted with the brand. It’s not a bragging right most adult brands have when it comes to men.

In fact, for a brand popular for its male masturbators, 63.4% of Japanese women are aware of Tenga.

This is in part due to Tenga’s commitment to making sexuality something everyone can enjoy. Even as most Tenga products focus on male pleasure, the design and functionality of the toys are flexible enough for women to give it a go.

Tenga also doesn’t treat adult toys as a replacement for sex. Instead, they create their products with the aim to make masturbation more enjoyable. With this line of thought, the products have sleek visuals while steering clear from resembling genitals as many adult toy brands tend to do.

Tenga products are always pleasure-focused, easy to clean and dispose of, and simple to use. They are often manual toys with specific improvements to heighten the sensory experience.

Types of Tenga Male Pleasure Products

Tenga masturbators are best divided into reusable and disposable categories. You discard disposable products after using them once, while reusable products can be cleaned and used again.

Naturally, disposable products are cheaper, often amounting to a mere $10. Meanwhile, reusable products can cost more due to their durability but still tend to stay in an affordable price range.

Here are some of the most popular offerings from Tenga:

1. Tenga Eggs

Tenga Eggs are egg-shaped adult toys. A typical Egg like the Tornado will have a hard outer layer, which is the storage case. You peel it back or flip it open. Inside, you will find another soft Egg.

The Egg will have a small opening at the top, where you will find a packet of lube. You pour this lube into the opening. Pull the egg by the gap and it will turn into a penis sleeve. The inside will have interesting textures, like how the Wavy II has spiraling ribs.

You pretty much use the toy like a regular sleeve, but the sensations are more pointed and intense thanks to the patterns and textures. Tenga Eggs fall into the cheap, disposable category.

2. Tenga Cups

Tenga Cups are one-time-use, pre-lubed toys shaped like a cup or a small can. To use the cap, you only have to remove the sticker on the air hole and the cap covering it.

The air hole is where you insert your penis, which is already lubed up. The product most people think of when someone mentions the Tenga Cup is the Original Vacuum Cup.

Valves inside the cup creates a sort of vacuum, which feels like you’re being sucked. Depending on the product you have, your Cup could be hard or soft like the Air Tech Gentle Vacuum versus the Premium Soft Case Cup. You can press into the soft cup from the outside, so you can control how tight it is or create a rubbing sensation at times.

The inside of the cup is foamed, so every time you push into it, it pushes back, adding to the experience.

3. Tenga Flip Series

The reusable Tenga Flip series is available in the form of futuristic time capsules. The basic premise is that you can flip the toys in this range open to clean them.

At the top of the flip toys, you will find a small opening. This is where you insert your penis. The inside contains all kinds of soft, gel-like material, varying in shape, and filling every crevice.

You are bombarded with sensation from the moment you insert the stroker. The more advanced toys in the series like the Zero Electronic edition also have a motor for providing vibrations.

Under the Flip series, there are three main categories:

• Tenga Flip Zero has a pivoting mechanism, due to the hinge inside the product like the Zero Gravity.
• Tenga Flip Hole had a hinge which held two separate halves together.
• Tenga Flip Orb gets its name from the smooth, soft orbs inside the stroker which are strategically placed, rather than due to its opening mechanism. A good example is the Strong Blue Rush.

The Tenga Flip Hole and Flip Orb are similar in price range, usually falling into the $100 to $150 range. But the Flip Zero, due to its improved appearance, technology, and intensity level, tends to cost over $250.
