Form before function leads to dysfunction...
This toy sucks... But unfortunately not in the good way I was hoping... I can and will not recommend this toy for purchase... Or free...Published: January 25, 2012
Pros:
Easy Clean.
Fits well in trash can.
Fits well in trash can.
Cons:
Noisy, Distracting, Ineffective
Promising, yes. Attractive design, yes. Quality construction, actually yes. So what's the problem?
The Tenga Flip Air (White) is a great concept. It builds on the original Tenga Flip Hole line and adds a new world of textures including a difference from the White and Black models as well as the Lite versions, which are also different in size. However, when they went from a top hinge to a side hinge something went amiss. As stated above the quality of the construction, from the molded outer case to the TPR Silicone interior is well made, and well attached.
Something simply went wrong in the execution. While it seems to create a good seal along the edges you are left with what I can only describe as a "Can of Queef". This thing is as noisy during use as a Hitachi Wand, and infinitely more distracting. I know, too much lube, not enough lube, too endowed, not endowed enough. Well I tried everything to make this thing behave quietly, including trying it with different size toys to see if it was indeed an anatomy issue but it is just always loud.
It is, in fact, so loud it is distracting. I have tried it a few times and have yet to get off using it, usually swapping out to a different toy, or handling this manually. Even with the wife "driving" it was a no go. I am in hopes that this was a design issue on my end and they are not all like this, but I do not believe this to be the case.
I can't recommend it to anyone based on experience but I will cover the basics. Molded plastic outer in white with a side hinge to allow it to "clam shell" open. To open simply slide and remove the cover(a molded plastic cup with an upright on one side which fits onto a rail to keep it closed and to cover the opening when not in use). Open the "clam shell" and apply lube to the interior. The interior is a TPR Silicone (water based lube here) map of bums waves and depressions, one on each side of the shell and each with its own textures. The interior is open at one end and terminated at the other by the end of the shell. From here simply replace the cap this time leaving the hole exposed for insertion. The flip open design makes it a breeze to clean with warm soapy water and the cup/upright can be used a a sort of drying rack. On either side of the shell is a small rubber protrusion which acts as an air valve to control the amount of "suction" created in each stroke. The control air release to each side independently.
Unfortunately here I have used the words, stroke, terminate, distracting, noisy, and everyone's new favorite, "Can of Queef". As such, this is a thumbs down in my book. Hope the next version corrects these problem, because it truly is a promising product.

Sealed shut

I had one of these a while back and after two uses the inner texture seemed to weld itself together and i actually ripped one side off trying to pry it apart. I cleaned it exactly like it told you too, used the right lube, anyone else have this problem because I can not figure out what the hell happened!

After cleaning, I leave it open to dry until next use.

Piercings

Does anyone know how well these hold up with a prince albert?

Good question.. I have no real idea, but I assume as long as your piercing isn't sharp, it shouldn't be much of a problem. It will be interesting to see what other people say.

Best one?

Which Tenga sleeve is the best one?
-
Quote: Which Tenga sleeve is the best one?All personal opinion. I've only tried the flip HOLE white and the flip HOLE black. The black feels tighter, has a slightly stiffer material, and has a more "aggressive" texture with a lot of "sharp" edges (as opposed to gentle round edges in the white model).
For me, personally, the flip hole white is total heaven. I can go for hours with it if I had the time (I'm multi-orgasmic).
Since I'm not into the "death grip", I didn't really like the black one at first. However, after a little more experimentation, I found that using a really light lube instead of one of the thicker ones worked really well with the black one.
My understanding is that Tenga is making the white models less "stimulating" than the black ones, so there should be a similar difference between the black and white flip AIR models.
Also, Tenga makes "lite" versions of these products. I've read a lot of complaints about them being too small for average guys. There is a size chart floating around the forum that gives a reasonable description of the size ranges for each of the Tenga products. -
Quote: Which Tenga sleeve is the best one?Personally I own two, the Flip Air White and the Flip Hole Black (the latter of which I'll be reviewing soonish.) The difference between them is pretty vast, so it kind of depends on your personal preference. The black models tend to have defined textures that are more noticeable as opposed to the softer white ones with their toned down patterns. The Hole isn't as tight, and expands readily while giving you the ability to put pressure where you like it, whereas the Air it very tight and only allows you to adjust the pressure overall (between tight and "sweet Lord my penis is in a silicone vice.")
Honestly, try to visit your local upscale sex shop. See if they have any models on display so you can compare them yourself in person. If that's out of the question though... hmm, which to chooooooose... well, the Hole is probably the best multipurpose toy even if it isn't as pretty or discreet as its newer brethren.

I tried the original it worked and gets the job done. Prefer the flashlights. Might give this a try. anyone find this any better then a fleshlight. Personal opinions on texture and comfort maybe even a realistic feel?

Personal opinions on texture and comfort maybe even a realistic feel?I was a big fan of the nubby entrance. Overall it reminded me a bit of being deep throated, since the beginning is a large gap (with the almost tongue-like stimulation of the little bits tickling your glans) and the end is much tighter and reminds me of that "yup, that's the back of your throat" sensation. Much like in real life I preferred avoiding going all the way in and just stuck to the shallow sensations.
I tend to stick to my Fleshlight (O'Doyle's Stout) purely since it's quieter, but I'll give it a review soon and have a definitive opinion for you.

Thank you for viewing Tenga flip air white – masturbation sleeve review page!



Thanks for the review. Sorry it was so loud and disappointing.
sorry you found it to be so loud. Mr has the black and the noise is just part of it. However, we didn't find it to be so loud that we had to turn music on or anything. I've never found a masturbator that wasn't encased that didn't make noise. Perhaps a double-ended sleeve is the way to go? Tenga now makes quite a few that look very nice.
BBW,
If I hadn't already tossed it at time of review I would have recorded the sound it made, it was loud enough to be heard over a running shower. I do agree that any closed end sleeve will have some sound but this was more than the allowable amount.
good review, thanks for sharing. sorry it did not work out better for you.
