Some of Tenga’s masturbation sleeves look a little complicated. Okay, some of them look a lot complicated, but they also know how to put together a straight-forward, stick-it-in-and-get-to-work sleeve as well–like the Double Hole Cup.
This sleeve is extremely easy to use; so easy, in fact, that Tenga didn’t think men needed a manual or any instructions whatsoever. While it’s pretty easy to figure out, it does have some surprises that one looking to purchase a masturbation sleeve should know about.
First of all, the Double Hole Cup is made of plastic and when it first arrives, it has a red and silver label on the outside that is printed with the Tenga company name as well as the name of the product. After removing the label, this sleeve is white and looks like a bottle of lotion you took the label off of. If you left the cup out somewhere where people could see it, they wouldn’t know what it was unless they took the lid off of one of the sides and stuck their finger inside–and who would go opening up other people’s unmarked lotion bottles, anyway?
Obviously incredibly discreet, the Double Hole Cup is 6 1/2 inches in length and 8 inches in circumference as a whole; meaning, the part of the sleeve you will actually be inserting yourself into is far smaller, since there are two different sleeves packed into the Double Hole Cup, just as the name implies.
On the one side of the cup, you have the “Bitter Side”, containing tightly-knit nubs that provide you with a tight grasp and at the other side, you have the “Sweet Side”, which contains nubs that are more spaced out for a more gentle grasp. There are also reversible nubs in the Sweet Side that provide a clinging and suction sensation as you move in and out of it and the end of both sides are designed to provide great sensations to the back section of the penis. Regardless of what angle you are thrusting into, the nubs inside both sides of the Double Hole Cup will stimulate you completely.
The inside of the cup is made of jelly, which makes for a very soft and pseudo-realistic feel of the inside of a woman’s vagina. Jelly is phthalates and latex-free and it is also hypoallergenic. The cup is pre-lubricated by a Styrofoam sponge that lies within the sleeve and works completely “out of the box” without needing to prep the sleeve in any way.
The fact that this sleeve is pre-lubricated has its definite advantages, but also carries its fair share of disadvantages. If you’re a beginner to masturbation sleeves and have never had any type of sleeve or toy before, you may not have lubrication laying around and choosing the right lube that will work for your body, for your personal preference, and for your toy can definitely be a confusing process, so not having to go through that process is a definite advantage if you don’t know what you’re looking for. However, you also don’t have the freedom to apply lube on your own to suit your personal preference and are just stuck with the amount of lube that Tenga has put inside the sleeve–and it is a lot. This can also get a little messy; by just removing one of the lids, a stream of lube will come off with it and onto anything in the vicinity. Because of the amount of lube inside, this sleeve can also be louder than when you use standard sleeves and the only way I can think of describing the sound you hear is squelching. It literally sounds like squelch, squelch, squelch, so if you’re looking for something completely discreet while in use, the amount of lube inside this toy may not work out well for you.
Because the cup’s outer layer is plastic, it makes having any additional control over pressure impossible. Even when squeezing the cup, you cannot feel any difference in pressure inside, which could disappoint those needing extra pressure or who want to feel the nubs press harder against their skin.
While the sleeve itself is 8 inches in circumference, what you literally stick your dick into is not that large and the holes could stand to be a little bigger because after just one use, my partner broke off a part of the Styrofoam cushioning. When bringing the cup up off his shaft, a piece of Styrofoam stayed down at the base and after that happened, the hole lost some of its initial pressure. The top of both sides of the cup have an air pocket-like section to prevent your penis from coming out at the other end, but men who are a bit longer will wish this sleeve was just an inch or two longer.
When it comes to cleaning the Double Hole Cup, this thing is incredibly tricky to maneuver. To be fair, this toy is meant to be disposable, but paying upwards of $20 for something you only use once or twice seems ridiculous to me and my budget agrees. It is possible to give the cup a thorough cleaning by removing the inside jelly sleeve and rinsing with warm water and toy cleaner or a mild soap, but I can’t see this sleeve lasting a good, long time in terms of extended use.
While the Tenga Double Hole Cup works completely out of the box and requires no prep at all, the thought of sticking your dick into some cold, gooey jelly isn’t so appealing. Tenga thought of that too, and solved all your masturbation dilemmas with their sleeve warmer.
The Tenga sleeve warmer is a clear plastic tube filled with clear liquid and a small metal disc that floats within it. You can easily see right through the tube and at the top of the warmer is a small red tag with the Tenga logo printed on it. On the opposite side of the tag is the product name, as well as some Japanese text that could say anything, but I can’t understand it. Perhaps it says something like “Use this to prohibit sending shocking chills all over your entire body when you masturbate!” Yeah, that could be it. But don’t worry, even without concise instructions, this warmer is super easy to use and it definitely looks cool, which is always a plus.
There are no batteries involved and there is nothing to plug in–all you have to do to get this little guy to warm up is squeeze the metal disc inside the tube, slightly bending it and the clear liquid will harden, warming the entire tube. At first, we were a little confused by the warmer because my partner had squeezed the metal disc and we were sitting on the bed waiting, waiting and then waiting some more and nothing was happening. After a little while he tried it again and realized that he did not squeeze the disc hard enough, so when using, make sure you are applying enough pressure and remember to slightly bend the disc in order to get the tube to transition from the see-through liquid to a hardened gel that will look exactly like ice.
Ideally, you will want to insert the warmer into your sleeve five to seven minutes before replacing it with yourself to give your sleeve a chance to warm up completely. While this is obviously a Tenga product meant to be used with Tenga sleeves, you can use this warmer with any masturbation sleeve you have. When it comes to its performance, the sleeve warmer is a really ingenious idea and it definitely works! It will warm your sleeve up, making your entire experience more enjoyable, especially when you’re initially inserting yourself into the sleeve. It can usually take a little while to get acclimated to the slight temperature drop of the inside of your sleeve, but this warmer will do the trick so you’re not gasping in shock when your dick is suddenly immersed in slippery cold wetness. However, as well as this warmer works, it will not make your sleeve body temperature, it merely makes it just a few degrees warmer and it really didn’t warm the sleeve up as much as we had initially thought it would. Nevertheless, there was a definite slight difference in temperature when using it.
After you’re dong using your sleeve warmer, place it in boiling water until the tube becomes clear again and the metal disc floats freely through the liquid; this should only take a few minutes. It is also possible to microwave it for five seconds until the tube becomes clear, but I wouldn’t recommend doing so because the tube can expand and if left in too long, you can really harm your warmer and no one wants that!
The sleeve warmer can be used up to 30 times, so while it won’t last a significant amount of time if you use it three to five times a day, it can have a nice lifespan if you use it in moderation. It is also super discreet; if left out, no one is likely to know what the device is at all.
If you love your masturbation sleeves and are looking for something to make your experience just a little more enjoyable, I’d recommend the hole warmer to anyone and considering the amount of times it can be reused, the price tag is more than fair.

Tenga, known for their innovative technology and off-the-wall concepts that keep people wondering just what they will think of next has become the go-to company for delectable, dazzling men’s masturbators. They have some wild and crazy toys out there; some that after looking through them with my partner, we couldn’t even imagine how they would work in order to become pleasurable. However, as a company that has been referred to as being “jerk-off geniuses” by even the most experienced and savvy in men’s sex toys, we knew we just had to try out something by Tenga.
While there are surely a few different Tenga toys out there that make you scratch your head in amazement, we were super excited to give the seemingly no-frills, straight-forward and super cute Tenga Egg masturbation sleeve a try.
The Tenga Egg is packaged within a wrapped plastic egg that clearly indicates the texture style of that particular sleeve. There are six different eggs to choose from–the Wavy egg has horizontal ripples, Twister has vertical ripples, Silky has a thread-spun texture, Spider is lined with a web pattern (how appropriate), Clicker is textured with protruding spheres and the Stepper has notched-out semi-circles.
We were able to try the Clicker egg and after peeling off the outer packaging and cracking the plastic egg open, we saw what looked exactly like a hard-boiled egg, just with a little more plastic-like look to it. It even has that little bit of bounce and wiggle to it that a hard-boiled egg has. Admittedly, this is a little creepy and a little silly looking, but my tune changed as soon as I witnessed just what this little sleeve can do.
After removing the egg from the plastic container, we noticed that the inside of the egg was already filled up–with a little container holding a packet of Tenga’s own lube, which I always pride companies in doing. Because of the various materials used to make sex toys, I am always looking up what kind of material my toy is made out of to see what types of lube are compatible with it in fear of using the lube with the wrong base and ruining my toy, so when companies are packaging their toys with their very own lubes that I know will not harm or damage the toy, they get a big thumbs up from me! After removing the lube and turning it inside out to ease our curiosity, we noticed that contrary to what the outer packaging suggests, the Clicker does not have a constant pattern of circles around it, which is good for folks worrying about too much texture or it actually causing pain instead of pleasure, but contains more spaced out protruding nubs kind of resembling a flower-like pattern that are soft enough to be delicate on your skin even with the most aggressive grasp.
After pouring the lube inside and around the opening of the egg for ease of insertion, you can keep the egg towards the head of your penis or stretch it along the entire shaft. The egg is made of elastomer which makes it considerably stretchable, but it is still a soft and delicate material that you can put a hole through, so if you are on the lengthier side, it may be wise to play with your egg a little bit to see just how far it will stretch before seeing that it’s about to give out. Although we weren’t able to cover the entire length of my partner’s shaft, it still produced intensely satisfying results.
The egg gives you complete and total control over the amount of pressure and intensity of texture you feel. You can use a light and lazy grasp or a tight and firm grasp, or vary what areas of your penis are stimulated by the texture by applying more pressure to certain areas while keeping a light grasp on the rest. I found this particular method worked very well while giving my partner a hand job with the egg. I did, however, notice that the egg likes to ride up the shaft during stroking, especially when the lube turned sticker and wasn’t as slippery after a while and while my partner enjoyed the sticky feeling, I restrained from applying more lube when I found myself getting a little frustrated on having to keep stretching the egg back down the shaft.
To clean, just turn the egg inside out and rinse under warm water and give it a light rub with some mild soap. At just $8.50 I can’t imagine a cheaper and more satisfying buy, especially since if you take special care of this sleeve, it can be used multiple times. While you can get several uses out of this sleeve, storage of your egg may be a problem because getting it back into the plastic egg container it comes in is extremely difficult. But when it comes down to it, for the price and considering how much we love using the Tenga Egg, I can forgive Tenga for this slight indiscretion.

Cock rings are one of the few sex toys out there that I have really, really wanted to get into our bedroom, but every time I do, the planets align and something goes wrong. We have had a few cock rings of all different sizes and materials. We’ve had ones that are adjustable and swear you can fit any size man into and we’ve had ones that are stretchy and look like they’ll get the job done, but end up letting us down. Cock rings perhaps just aren’t in the cards for us.
So when I was given the opportunity to try out the Orbit Ring Vibe, I jumped at the chance, wanting to give it another full steam ahead effort. The Orbit Ring Vibe isn’t just a mere cock ring. It’s a cock ring made of TPR that is extremely stretchy. It is described as being big enough to stretch over your man’s penis and testicles, or just over the shaft. It was made with versatility in mind, which is something anyone can admire when looking to add a sex toy to your romping. While the cock ring is in place over your man, it also contains a small bullet vibe that you can angle downward, to stimulate your man’s testicles, or angle it upward to receive rockin’ clitoral stimulation during sex.
The day it arrived I handed it over to my partner to play with on his own first. Considering the amount of vibrators and other toys I have in my collection that are primarily for myself, I figured he could use a little alone time with it and perhaps it could become a toy he would be able to pull out again and again. He positioned the Orbit Ring Vibe over his shaft and testicles, positioning the bullet vibe downward to stimulate the area between his testicles and anus. He loved the intensity of the vibrations and was having a great time with it, when, well… this happened.
Yeah, that’s right! It broke! And we didn’t even get to try it out like I was oh so much looking forward to.
While reading other reviews of the product, I did notice that a consistent problem brought up amongst mostly every other person who has also tried the Orbit Ring Vibe is that the wire of the vibrator comes apart and the power supply stops working; some people have even gone through multiples of this product because it had worked so well and they enjoyed it so much, but its lifespan is pretty short.
So, not quite what we were expecting from the Orbit Ring Vibe, but it could have been worse… It could have worked and we could have loved it so much to only have it stop working. Always looking on that bright side of life.
Thanks to Babeland for giving my partner and I the opportunity to try out the Orbit Ring Vibe. While it didn’t work out for us in the least, you may want to check out the other couple’s vibrators they stock.
I recently came across a very odd sex toy over at early2bed–Chocolate party hats… for your penis. Yes, that’s right.
Chocolate Party Hats are definitely something out of the ordinary and honestly, not something I think I’d ever be interested in trying. Sure, I love me some chocolate and while edible potions for fellatio can be fun, like Good Head Gel that we recently reviewed, the idea of basically treating a cock like the stick of a lollipop is not so fun to me. Can you imagine just lounging around in between your man’s legs enjoying some chocolate and then you leave your penis all sticky and unpleasant.
I could be wrong, I haven’t tried these out so if anyone else has and wants to submit their input, put it in the comments, but I tend to like to keep my chocolate lollipops and my penis separate.
The Maven Sleeve is very much like the abundantly famous Fleshlight, or so I thought when I saw it and read its description.
I gave the Maven Sleeve to my boyfriend as a gift, since it has been compared to the Fleshlight and I know it couldn’t get so famous for nothing. However, with just one use, I was told that the Maven Sleeve didn’t come in as a very strong second.
I found several reviews for the item and the positive reviews warn to use the toy correctly, so I was sure to tell my boyfriend how to use it, which he did and still did not have a positive experience with it. Although it is obviously not the same experience that all men who use this item have, you can’t feel very much with the Maven Sleeve, even though the inside of the toy is ribbed and lined with nubs.
The Maven Sleeve is one of the Babeland All Stars, so while the experience my boyfriend had with it and since it has a good amount of positive reviews, the Maven Sleeve is a good fit for some, but not for all.

On the topic of sex, most men will say that the act and finishing touch, in particular, is a bit unfair. After sex, my partner will complain that I had multiple orgasms, can’t move and demand a sandwich afterward while he had one orgasm. I can argue that perhaps my multiple orgasms are the equivalent to his one, but I wouldn’t know since I am not a man and admittedly have no idea what the male orgasm feels like. I do, however, know that having multiple orgasms is a gift that I would love for him to be able to share with me. While a huge percentage of men simply believe that having multiple orgasms is impossible, I have a secret to share with you that has the ability to rock your world; especially if you’re a man–All men have the ability to achieve multiple orgasms.
For the man who believes male multiple orgasms are impossible or for men who have heard about these mysterious male multiple orgasms and want to know more (ie: my partner) I couldn’t recommend The Prostate Pleasure Kit from Babeland more.
The Prostate Pleasure Kit contains everything your man (or you, if you’re reading this and happen to be a man) needs for complete prostate pleasure and achieve multiple orgasms: The classic sex guide The Multi-Orgasmic Man by Mantak Chia & Douglas Abrams, The Aneros Prostate Stimulator, Maximus lube, Babeland’s favorite anal lube in fact, and Rocket Balm, good (and safe) for a nice, tingly feeling during masturbation, oral sex and even intercourse.
If you’re thinking to yourself “Ha! My husband/boyfriend/manfriend/life partner would never let anything near his butt; it just isn’t happening and what, exactly, does prostate pleasure have to do with multiple orgasms?” I have to tell you, my partner was just as apprehensive! With the looming fear of pain as well as the fear of bodily functions, a man may think to himself at first “Nope, not happening. Ever. Get it all away from me.” But perhaps after reading through the book that comes with this kit, The Multi-Orgasmic Man, they may be even more curious about prostate pleasure and perhaps even get over the initial fear and anxiety that comes with something being near their prostate.
The Multi-Orgasmic Man is a complete guide of sexual secrets of every should know. This book gives every man the ability to experience multiple orgasms and dramatically enhance his sexual relationship, which they have printed on the cover of the book. Within the first few days of having this book, me and my partner read through parts of it together and it really brought us closer together in our relationship because I began to fully understand how everything works when it comes to men; most of which I wasn’t aware of before. If you’re not one to accompany your man while he reads through this book, there is a section specifically for women which helps women fully understand how the foreign male parts work and how to help your partner as well as yourself become a multi-orgasmic person. The book and prostate tools that come with this kit go together very well because throughout the book it speaks of the prostate, how to fully know yourself as a man inside and out and gives you methods to use in order to prolong orgasms by holding the prostate. By using the prostate toys that come with the kit, you become more aware of reaching the point of no return.
The partner’s thoughts:
The book is very well written and covers both sides of the techniques given in the book to achieve multiple orgasms; spirituality as well as logic and physiology. As a person who leans more towards the logical and scientific side of things, it was nice to have scientific facts back up Asian spirituality.
While my partner isn’t a multi-orgasmic man yet, the journey to multiple orgasms will be broken up into a series that will outline his progress and eventual success, so be sure to check back frequently because you never know when he will hit a milestone that will need to be reported to our readers, especially those who are men looking to achieve multiple orgasms.
