Tenga – Spiral

(TNH-001)

First up, a size comparison since I found the stock photos gave a false impression of proportion. The review will continue after the photos.

Amazon Product image – Tenga 3D Spiral
Size comparison between the Sword of Caesar toy heater, a metric ruler, and the Tenga Spiral in the display case.
A second size comparison. Keep in mind that the Zemalia Susie is on the larger side (Susie is about 1 inch smaller than a Fleshlight which is the largest handheld toy out there.)

First off, this product is tiny! It is like a 1/2 scale model of what I thought I’d be getting. It is a pocket pussy in that you can fit it in your pocket. It is literally just barely longer than the width of my hand. The geometric pattern feels a little unrealistic at first, but I found that it works just fine if I didn’t think about it.

I don’t want to be too hard on this product, it is much better than the no-name and sexflesh brand products out there. It also isn’t sticky like Fleshlights are and doesn’t need to be powdered with cornstarch after washing like some of the aforementioned products do. However, on the other hand the sensation doesn’t have that “wow” factor for me, it does the job, but no more. The truly exceptional characteristic of this is the stealth factor. Once you take the stickers off of the display case, nobody will be able to guess what it is. It is also very quiet when in use, so you won’t be waking your roommate. It is also very simple to use, I know this sounds funny, but if you have a look at my Fleshlight and Zemalia reviews they have managed to make the simple complicated!

Material: TPE – Remarks: Very stretchy, feels durable. It is a bit firmer than some of the soft toys out there but the material is very elastic and handles being inverted very well. It isn’t sticky at all, which is characteristic of high quality toys.
Sensation: 5 out of 10 hands, it isn’t realistic, takes awhile to get off, but it works, it’d be good for edging or travel since it looks rather inconspicuous.
External size: 120mm to 125mm long x 46mm diameter at maximum
Functional internal dimensions: 111mm deep
Opening (without stretching): 15mm
Quality: 10/10 remarks
Smell: No unpleasant odors
Cleaning: Extremely easy. I even feel comfortable unloading in this one since I know I can turn it inside out and throughly clean it.

One note on cleaning: When you are inverting it, anything on the inside, lube or otherwise is going to get sprayed out as the end pop out, so have it pointed down in to the sink and away from your toothbrush!

I would recommend this product for anyone who wants something they can display in their room or travel with and have nobody realize what it is. So if stealth is the most important attribute for you, then this would be an excellent and quality choice to go with.

Zemalia Susie – Single ended Fleshlight alternative review

12 Jun 2020 Charles Tomahawk
The actual Toy is much smaller than the ABS cup, it is still roughly the same size as most Onaholes, but more accommodating.

Oh man, this thing is crazy! It can be either great or terrible depending on how you use it. I think it should come with a user manual to explain how to use it correctly.

Out of the box this thing has crazy suction, there is a sticker at the rear for some degree of control over this but I ended up removing it and using my index finger since you need to open and close the vent frequently to get the best experience. Make sure you use it with tons of lube or you might hurt yourself! I would strongly recommend getting a quality toy heater with this as well for a more realistic experience.

How crazy was the suction you ask? So crazy that I had trouble removing my toy heater even though I used plenty of lube before inserting it! You could easily give your cock a hicky if you tired this without lube. Don’t do it!

When I first tried to use it with the sticker over the air vent at the rear, I was able to push it on but then could barely move it due to the extreme suction. At this point I removed the sticker and it was movable and the foam at the rear of the toy acted to limit how fast air could come in or out so that there was still quite a bit of suction. However, I got the best results when I covered the air vent with my finger while it was about 50% of the way on and then it acted like an air shock and I got a lot more sensation and it was very enjoyable and realistic.

Material: TPE – Remarks: Quality product, it isn’t sticky and is a medium/average hardness/softness
Sensation: 7 out of 10 hands
External size: 142mm long x 60 to 76mm diameter at maximum, narrows down to just 40mm diameter at end
Functional internal dimensions: 128mm deep + 35mm foam air resistor at rear of cup.
Opening (without stretching): 16.5mm x 11mm
Quality: 10/10 remarks
Smell: No unpleasant smells
Cleaning: Easy. Remove from the ABS cup and flush with water, dry it.
Bonus: It includes a slot for an integrated bullet vibrator although one is not included

If you like suction, this toy is definitely the one for you. It is a high quality product that will stand the test of time and not accumulate grime thanks to the non-sticky material and lid that are included. The plastic wrap label is also perforated down the side so your can remove it to make a plain white object. Although the ABS plastic is a different white than the lid. If stealth was really important you could paint the plastic so that it looks like a uniform solid object. Get creative and embrace your creative side!

Remarks on using it with the vibrator: TBD

I found the suction to be much more manageable than a Fleshlight and also much better than any of the single ended Onaholes I have reviewed. I would say this is the #1 in suction for sure. The internal path is a bit wider than Onaholes, so the sensation isn’t as strong, but this also means that it can be enjoyed by a larger audience. I think that the suction more than compensates for the small reduction in sensation. When used correctly the air pressure pushes the walls of the toy into contact with you, so you don’t need to be the size of a beer bottle to enjoy this.

The price to value is very good on this one since (at least in Canada) it costs $32.99 vs. the $50+ that I pay for Onaholes and it is very competitive with them.

Q&A

The Adult Toy Review Q&A: How I write reviews

19 Jul 2019 Charles Tomahawk

The level of sensation that any masturbator toy gives a person is going to be subjective. Why? It comes down to many different factors, some are personal preferences, but much more are the anatomical ones. We’re not all the same size and some of us are circumcised (which might make us less sensitive, and thus we require more stimulation).

Q: The masturbator I’m looking at doesn’t have a 10/10 on the Hands scale, should I still be considering it?

A: YES. In fact, I am very reluctant to give ANY product I review a perfect score or review unless I truly cannot conceive of a single way that the product could be even slightly better.

Q: If the product is adequate and “does the job” why not give it a perfect score/review?

A: This would certainly be more profitable for me, but if I did that then there would be no way for the truly exceptional products to stand out. I want my readers to be able to see how each reviewed product stacked up against its peers in a quantifiable way, and since my reviews are biased by my anatomy, I also list engineering measurements and other relevant details that are omitted from many product pages on Amazon.

I also periodically go back and revise my reviews to keep the scores consistent, and expand on my initial impressions. This site is something of a side project of mine, so it is growing as I have time to add reviews and money to buy new products to review.

I do read submitted comments so if you have a product you would like me to review, leave a comment on this or any other page with how I can get in contact with you.
