Tenga Cups
samedi 4 août 2012 à 19:55A quick word about Tenga:
It’s one of the fastest growing company in the sex toy industry. About 13 000 units are sold in Japan every day. Of the 20% of products sales worldwide, top countries are the USA, Spain and China. And: they got the “super-employee”, who broke twice the masturbation world record with their products (9 hours 58 minutes).
One thing should be especially noticed: Tenga products have no “special packaging” with anime characters or such, nor are the products conceived as intercourse-simulation.
Now that you met Tenga, let’s move on to the Cups review.
Some of these products come in 3 editions: soft (white), normal (red) and hard (black). Here we consider the normal editions.
It’s particularity is the “suction hole”: put your finger on it while inserted to create a nice vacuum. The internal structure consists of ripples, tightening-pass, nubs..
Western friends: pay extra attention to what version you’re buying ! Always look for the “U.S. Tenga”, because the “Japan-standard” edition is about 2/3 girth (which is too small for the western average).
It’s conceived for one-time use, but with a condom you can increase this to 3 times (don’t try more, since it will then lack of lube.. and be rather unhygienic). The lotion reservoir doesn’t require you to pre-lube your thing before insertion, just go ahead and enjoy. A good point is that the lube is in the right quantity and doesn’t spill all over.
It already feels quite good but you will play a lot with the suction hole to increase this even further. You can apply different movements but the main usage is the stroking.
This one enables you to “squeeze” the walls to variate stimulation. The internal structure doesn’t differ much from the Deepthroat’s except it has a “ribs-passage” instead of the tightening zone. Overall good but unimpressive.
Well you guess what it is from the title: you stick your thing in it and you play with the top to “roll” around your tip. It’s a quite mild sensation so you want to play with it when you’re not in a hurry (like while watching 2 hours long porn).
Nasty toy ahead, threesome people ! “Sweet side, bitter side”.. Front door, back door. The holes are separate. Not tasted yet.
Yes, there are like “air cushions” in it. They provide a very nice tight sensation, better that one obtained with elastic material. The internal structure is quite simple yet effective (you see easily on the section view of NLS that it depicts a (simple) vagina, the cushions recreating it’s muscles). Oh don’t worry about the depth: western people also got it to the root. One thing: don’t stroke too hard. I got the cushions to explode once ^^
Compared to a multiple-use hole the Tenga Cups are a bit expensive, there are one-time disposable cups at lower prices.. and lower quality, I assume. Tornado, Ma-sai, DNA, … the market keeps growing. What is the environmental impact of all this ? Dunno. Keep in mind that Tenga also does reusable toys, expensive yet very well made. These will be reviewed in a next post.
On usage it’s… inefficient. Pressing the pump will quickly make you tired since it’s not very flexible (until you’ve got the fists of a weight lifter). The “pressure chamber” is definitively asian-shaped, western people will have the contact on less sensitive zones in the middle of their thing and suction power is quite lost (normally the membrane should wrap around 2/3 of a 10cm/4″ penis). And: the membrane tears quickly, since the chamber’s plastic walls are rough-edged. So the alternative method is:
But note that if you want a slightly less powerful vacuum while having a by-far better stroking experience, just head over a “deepthroat” Tenga (US edition, please). Seriously 
No really, it doesn’t fit the average western organ, and it’s still too poorly made to be enjoyed more than a few times. And… is this phthalate free ? I saw it starting to “melt/sweat” at ~25°C 
Didn’t last long before it went to the trash bin. 
Grip is good, just stroke: so tight you don’t need to press.
