What Is Tenga Flip Zero?
Before we get into the individual toy itself, allow me to spare a few words on the Tenga brand itself.
Tenga is a Japanese brand established with a goal of breaking the taboo around self-pleasure and incorporation of sex toys to the bedroom. This concept may seem simple and even unoriginal at first, but when you consider that Japan is still a relatively conservative country in many aspects then…well, these people were pretty brave for creating a brand like this.
The Japanese influences show up in the designs of all Tenga toys too – the toys are simple-to-use yet pleasurable as hell.
And then there are the details – you may already know that the Japanese love their design to be functional. And, small details like the ease-of-cleaning are very well thought-out here.
Now, what kind of toy exactly is the star of the show, the Flip Zero itself?
In essence, it is a male masturbator similar to Fleshlights, arguably the most well-known male toys of all-time.
There are key differences though. For one, Tenga comes with a flip-open design. After you are done, you flip open the toy and give it a quick wash. Voila! One of the most efficient sex toy designs of recent times and pretty much a game-changer.
Look, cleaning the gunk out of the toy is never the highlight of using a male sex toy and the quicker the process is, the better the overall experience.
The ease-of-cleaning is far from being the only worthwhile function of the Tenga Flip Zero. In the next part, let’s put every key feature of the Tenga Flip Zero into a neat little list.
3 Key Features Of The Tenga Flip Zero
So, with all of this huffing and puffing about functional design, you will probably want some more concrete information on the main features of the Tenga Flip Zero. In the following, find 3 key aspects that make the Flip Zero stand out among the alternatives:
- The inner texture – Unlike some other current popular blowjob machines like the Lovense Solace, Tenga Flip Zero is non-automatic. As such, the inner textures will have to “do all the talking” here. Luckily, the texture more than delivers. Just a quick look at the inner chambers of the Flip Zero will let you know that you are dealing with something very intense – there are various ridges, ripples, bumps, and orbs inside of it. I will also be discussing how all of this stuff feels later on in this article when I give you my personal juicy details of my testing so stay tuned!
- The flip-open design – I’m gonna be honest with you folks. Before getting the Flip Zero and only reading the reviews, I thought that the flip-open design was a bit of a gimmick. Well, having now gotten my penis on it, I can safely say that this design truly is a game-changer in terms of the overall experience. Don’t underestimate how annoying toy cleaning can be!
- The one-way valve for the vacuum effect – Again, I will describe this nifty little feature in detail later on in this article. For now, know that the Flip Zero also has an option for creating a sort of vacuuming effect that further enhances the overall tightness and intensity of the textures.
Ok, the features and technical details are cool and all, but I bet most of our readers will want to know how it feels. Well, in the next part, you can read all about my personal experiences with the Tenga Flip Zero.
The Testing – My Personal Review Of Tenga Flip Zero
The order for the Tenga Flip Zero came plain – nothing to indicate that you are dealing with a sex toy. So, if you are worried about this aspect…then, well, don’t be!
To the Flip Zero itself now – as I got it out of the box, I was slightly surprised by how sturdy and comfortable it feels in the hand. Might seem like an unimportant aspect, but best believe that you will want your toy to have a good grip for when you happen to go at it hard and fast.
Before getting in, I flipped open the toy and added a generous coating of lube inside. And, on my penis as well. I always do this and I suggest you do the same. I am yet to meet a male masturbator that wasn’t improved by improving the glide.
As I entered, I was immediately greeted by a slight suctioning effect. It is not too intense, but the toy does feel like it “sucks you in” right off the bat.
We are off to a good start!
I kept my member static for about 10-15 seconds. Just to get a little bit more excited and enjoy this “suck-greeting”
As I pushed slightly forward, I started to get a feel of the wetness of the lube and the lovely softness of the interior. The texture, by the way, is made of TPE. A material mostly known from various high-end sex dolls and sex doll torsos. It is a body-friendly material that feels like the softest skin you have ever touched. Good stuff.
When you start to get a bit of a thrusting going, you also start to feel just how intricate the texture variations are. Some of them hit the penis from the sides while some stimulate the head. All of them combine into a single orgasmic mix.
You will also want to mix up your experience by using different stroking rhythms. For me, going slow felt the best – it felt like getting a sloppy blowjob on steroids! The type of a BJ that I could imagine receiving from popular pornstars like Blake Blossom and Liya Silver.
Messy, sloppy, and intense in all the right ways.
If you decide to go for some faster stroking, I would suggest messing with the vacuuming effect. Make use of the air pressure at the right time and you will get a weird (but awesome!) effect that feels like your penis is being thrown back and forth inside the toy.
I know, I know. Doesn’t sound all that good, but describing the sensations offered by male masturbators is pretty damn difficult.
What matters here is this – you can have your fun with this one in all sorts of different ways.
How about the orgasm? Well, let’s just say that if you like finishing in someone’s mouth then you will also love the orgasm from the Flip Zero. If you haven’t experienced finishing into a mouth…then, well, this will give you an idea of what kind of sensation this is.
Pros Of Tenga Flip Zero
For the sake of clarity, I always like to put the specific features of a toy I like into a neatly organized list. This wonderful little masturbator from Tenga is not an exception. Below, find some of the main advantages associated with the Flip Zero experience:
- Intense, Varied Texture – The internal texture is highly intricate, with multiple patterns that provide intense and varied sensations. What’s more – each specific area of the inner texture seems to fit the different areas of the penis. For example, the mid parts of the toy seem to react best all over the length of the penis while the end sections hyperstimulate the head of the penis. Also, the textures will feel slightly different depending on how fast or slow you stroke. This kind of stimulation is somewhat similar to what the most intense Fleshlights like the Kumzumi and the Autumn Falls sleeves offer, but the Tenga Flip Zero’s texture still manages to have that extra little something going for it. It is NOT a redundant toy. Even if you already have a harem of Fleshlights in your home.
- Easy-to-clean Structure – I am pretty over talking about the flip-open design of this toy by now, but it is impossible to ignore it when rounding up the advantages of this Tenga toy. Simply put – it works. The cleaning process is as simple as advertised. Pop it open, rinse it with water, and use the two “wings” on the side of the toy to prop it up and let it dry. Simple as.
- Effective Even While Flaccid – Yes, we get to talk about the flip-open design once again. You see, not only does it streamline the cleaning process, but it also adds another unique aspect to the experience – you can get yourself inside the masturbator even if you are completely flaccid. And, speaking from personal experience, these textures are intense and weird enough to “awaken the dragon” quite fast. Even if you are not in a particularly sexual mood at the time of use. That being said, if anyone ever advertises the Flip Zero or some other sex toy as a legitimate cure for something like erectile dysfunction then they are lying. Sure, a toy like this can be surprisingly helpful for getting there, but it will never cure a legitimate, big-time physical or psychological issue.
- Vacuum Suction Feature for Added Sensation – The one-way valve creates a vacuum effect, intensifying the suction for a more enveloping experience. The suction can also be adjusted by controlling how much pressure you exert. This feature adds a sort of customize-your-experience feel to the otherwise non-automatic toy. A nice little extra treat that adds some further replay value to the toy.
- Durability – Sex toy communities in general rarely pay attention to durability when reviewing toys. And, honestly, I don’t understand why. Let’s be fair – good sex toys are pretty damn expensive and you will want your stuff to last for as long as possible if you make the investment. The Flip Zero is splendid in that department and I am yet to hear of someone ripping that texture. Even with regular use. It will handle your horny well! The only way for you to destroy it would be to throw the damn thing against a wall in anger…but why on earth would you want to do something like that?
Cons Of Tenga Flip Zero
I’m a big fan of the Flip Zero and the Tenga brand in general. However, there are still 2 potential drawbacks that need to be considered when going for this male masturbator:
- High Price Point: At about $100, Tenga Flip Zero is by no means ridiculously expensive. However, you have to take into consideration that this is a non-automated toy. And, if you love tinkering with your toy and going through various vibrations, speeds, and stroke patterns then the Flip Zero may end up being just a tad bit too expensive for you. If you are on the look for male toys at a similar price range that also offer automated stroking then Lovense toys for men are a great alternative.
- Manual Operation: This directly ties in from the previous disadvantage. Since you are dealing with a non-automated toy, you are going to have to do the stroking yourself. Whether this is even a disadvantage is up to you, but this is just something to think about before ordering.
Final Verdict: Where To Find The Best Price & Is It Worth It?
You can find the best price for the Tenga Flip Zero at the official site of Tenga.
When dealing with reputable brands, you will usually want to get your toys straight from the manufacturer.
Why? Simply because official sites usually offer various perks such as loyalty programs, various deals, and dedicated customer service.
For Tenga, the story is similar – for instance, I have seen stuff like holiday sales, student discounts, bundle deals, etc. in there. Good stuff.
Is the Flip Zero ultimately worth it though? Yes, yes it is.
It has become a community favorite for a reason – the intense inner texture and the feel of the material make for a hyper-pleasurable masturbation experience. And then there is the flip-open design with its streamlined cleaning process and the possibility of using the toy while flaccid.
These two features are pretty innovative in the world of male masturbators. Whether you are new to male toys or getting your first one, the Tenga Flip Zero is surely worth a try. All things considered, I have a hard time imagining someone considering this one a complete dud.
For me, it is time to head over to bed now. As always, it was a pleasure introducing a sex toy to you fine folks and I hope you had fun reading too. See you for the next one!
