Tenga flip air lite white - masturbation sleeve by TENGA - review by tim1724

The Tenga Flip Air Lite is a male masturbation toy which provides most of the features of the popular Tenga Flip Hole in a much smaller package. Like the larger models, the Flip Air Lite provides a unique masturbation experience in an easy-to-clean package.

The Flip Air Lite is on the smaller side, so it's best used by those who have a penis which is somewhat on the smaller size. Those with an average-sized penis will only enjoy it if they're looking for a very tight fit; the particularly well endowed may not be able to use the toy at all.

The Flip Air Lite consists of a soft, squishy TPR silicone sleeve inside a hard plastic shell. There is no significant odor and I believe the material is of a relatively high quality. I have the white model of this toy, which has a very soft, squishy interior. There's also a black model, in which the interior is much more firm. (This black/white distinction exists across the whole Tenga Flip product line, by the way.) I imagine the black version may provide more intense stimulation, given the extra firmness, but I've never tried a black Tenga Flip toy before, so I'm not sure.

The sleeve is patterned with a number of different textures. In my opinion they could have cut down the number of different textures, perhaps putting different ones in different models. I found the large number of different textures to be distracting, especially when thrusting in and out. Even just moving an inch in or out will cause your penis to brush up against several completely different textures, which I find somewhat distracting. I suppose everyone is supposed to be able find a texture he likes, but in my case I can never seem to find what I want; the inside of this toy is just too confusing for me.

The Tenga Flip Air Lite is smallest version of the popular Tenga Flip series of male masturbation sleeves. The original Flip Hole (and the newer version, the Flip Air) are the larger models, whereas the Flip Air Lite is a somewhat smaller version of the Flip Air.

The Flip Air Lite is about 6" long on the outside, so it can only accommodate about a five inch penis on the inside. It's 2.5" in diameter, and someone with a 1.5" wide penis might be able to squeeze into it, but realistically this is meant for guys who are closer to an inch in diameter. If your penis is average size or bigger, do yourself a favor and consider the two larger models, which are about an inch longer and wider.

My penis is definitely on the smaller side, but even I found this a tight fit. This can be good in some ways—the firm pressure on my penis helps me stay hard a long time during masturbating—but it can be annoying, too, as it makes thrusting difficult.

The case holding the sleeve is a plain white plastic cylinder. You won't find a more discreet masturbation toy anywhere—it's simply not possible. I leave mine sitting out on a shelf in my bedroom; I feel no need to try to hide it at all, as it is completely nondescript. Combined with its very small size, this makes for a great toy to pack when traveling. It easily fits into any luggage and wouldn't be embarrassing at all to take in your carry on.

There is a button on the side which controls the amount of suction. Pressing the button allows air to flow in and out more, reducing the amount of suction. You'll need to hold down the button while inserting yourself into the toy, in order for the air displaced by your penis to escape, then when you release the button it will cause a vacuum inside the sleeve, providing an immense level of suction on your cock. Even with the button depressed there's still a fair amount of suction, close to what you typically get in a fully-closed Fleshlight.

The button's well positioned and reasonably easy to use, but I'd prefer having a larger area to press on, with more sensitivity. It's really an on/off situation the way it's designed, whereas I'd like a more analog adjustment.

I find that the high-intensity suction results in some very loud (potentially embarrassing) noises during use.

The ease of cleaning it is my favorite feature of the Tenga Flip Air Lite, enough to make me want to use it even though I prefer the feel of my Fleshlight. You simply slide off the piece of plastic that keeps it shut and open up the case like a book; then you can easily wash out both halves. I run it under warm water in the sink, using my fingers to rub away anything which might be lodged in the various textured bits inside. Once I've washed it out, I leave it open for a few hours to dry out. It dries out very quickly, much faster than toys which can't be opened up.

This is much, much easier to clean than other toys I've used. I wish that all rigid masturbation sleeves could be opened up like this. Not only is it easy to clean, but I can visually inspect it and be certain that there is no leftover ejaculate or lubricant left in there before I close it up again.

Speaking of lubricant, you should only use water-based lubes with this toy. And you will definitely need lube; it would be very uncomfortable and difficult to use without adequate lubrication.

The toy comes in a clear plastic box, with no pictures and only minimal text on the packaging. Mostly you just see the white cylinder sitting inside the box. The box is quite flimsy once you open it, so it wouldn't work very well for storage. Honestly this toy doesn't really need any storage; it's a self-contained plastic cylinder, very discreet.

The instructions included in the package do an adequate job of describing how to use and care for the toy, although the English translation is not the best. A small bottle of water-based lubricant comes with the toy, but it will only be enough for two or three uses. The bottle itself has nothing written on it, but the lube ingredients are listed on the outer plastic box. (I've long since thrown out the box and I forgot to copy down the list, so I can't list them here.)

I don't find this toy nearly as enjoyable to use as my Fleshlight. The sensations just aren't as realistic, and I find the textures to be somewhat annoying. Also, I'd prefer slightly less suction and a looser fit. The basic design of the toy, however, is great, both in terms of providing suction and in being easy to clean. So it's a bit of a mixed bag.

I find my Fleshlight to feel much more realistic and will continue to use it when I want something that feels like actual sex. But the Tenga Flip Air Lite can be nice to use while watching porn, when I want something that will last a long time. The suction keeps my dick hard and I can get some interesting sensations from it while only just barely moving it (twisting it can be fun!) so I can use it for a longer period of time, whereas my Fleshlight tends to get me off pretty quickly.
