Tenga flip hole black, not too many guys or gals don't know that name. Well, it is one of the best hand-held masturbators out there, right? I am not so sure, but it IS one of the coolest designs I have come across.

For me the best use was for solo time, when I am home with the whole house to play in. I find that this gives you more options as far as where you can use it, like the back of the couch, in the cushions of the couch, counter in the kitchen etc., about the only place that is kinda 'off limits' is the tub, with all the other choices I don't really mind.

My only disappointment with this toy was the wife's inability to get me off with it. Not really sure why but I have my suspicions, more on that later.

The outside of the Tenga is made of a hard plastic, and ya, it's black. The inner is made of TPR Silicone which is clear with a frosty look. I guess that is why the have the Tenga Hole Warmer, eh?

TPR Silicone is a Silicone based rubber compound. It is Phthalates free, Hypo-allergenic and Latex free. The material is soft and somewhat life like, but retains the different textures beautifully. And textures there is! When you first open the flip hole you will be amazed that your penis will even go in there with out some discomfort.

Starting with it closed the end has a about 5/8" of TPR protruding from the plastic, this is a good bumper for vigorous thrusting. The opening is only 1/2" diameter, good thing the end is in two parts as this allows guys that are slightly above normal the to fit with ease. The lips, if you will, open easy to take your member in. Just inside you find one side has two ~fangs~, (they look like Dracula's) on the other side there is a half moon grove that the fangs sit in. Next up is a wall, 1/4" thick. I find this works to keep lube in somewhat, kinda like a squeegee. Past the wall we come to three 3/4" diameter balls. Two of them, on one side, have raised hour-glass shapes and the other one has a wavy pattern. Then we find six blocks with ribbed sides, these are set in a criss-cross pattern and make three walls when closed. By far my favorite part. All of this within the firsts 3"!

Then we come to the last 3" of the flip hole, for this I will attempt to describe the sides separately. First we have one side that has two connected balls, about 1 3/4" and 2" in diameter, down the center, on top is cut a channel that stops a 1/2" from the end of the second ball. Inside the channel we will find a smaller ball in the first larger ball, this and the rest of the inner area of the ball is nubbed, in the second ball is the same channel from the top, this goes all the way down to the bottom and is nubbed like the first. The other side to start with has two 3/4" balls mounted to the sides, there is two set's of rows that look like 8 mini walls. The first set is convex from the bottom and the second set in concave.

So is it for the beginner or the more advanced user? I say "Yes". Beginners looking for a "quick fix" will find it great, but may find it to much. More experienced users may think there is not enough texture. Ya know "mileage may very" For me the feeling is great and the adjustable pressure is very enjoyable.

There is only a slight smell, kinda sweet but not like candy. Not unbearable by any stretch, I have to put it right under my nose to smell it. It has a little stickiness to it but hey, when there is lube on it you will never notice, right?

By far one of the coolest parts of the Tenga is the clam shell design. This allows for easy cleaning and drying. There is a cap that has two fingers, these have T shaped groves on the inside that fit over the two L shaped protrusions on the sides of the two halves, the two Ls make a T. This keeps it closed together either in storage or use. For use you simply take the cap off, open and apply lube, close and slide the cap down the T's and you are ready for use.

When finished the flip hole "flips" open and will lay flat, for cleaning. Then you can use the cap to prop the toy open to dry. I found that a small squeeze on the end of the fingers will place them in the TPR, this will hold with no problems. When dry simply close it and slide the cap over the bottom making sure to get the grooves lined up properly. If you do not "finish" in the flip hole and want to put it aside till later you can leave the cap on and store it with the hole up, this will keep what lube is in there from dripping out.

The fit was very good. I am about 1 3/4" diameter (5 1/2" circumference) and 6" long, and found the fit "right as rain". The extra bulge at the entrance makes a good bumper for harder thrusting, although if I pushed hard enough I could bottom out on the flip hole. So any one over 6" in length may not get full coverage.

One problem my wife had was the size of the outer casing. She had to use both hands, and sit in front of me to use the buttons without to much grief. Something to keep in mind if you are planing some partner play.

On the two sides you will find three small round discs. These are connected to a thin piece of plastic and provide pressure to the different areas. In use the first button (closest to you) gives you a tight entrance feeling, the second button applies pressure to the beginning of the first large ball, and the third gives it to the beginning of the third ball. These work a bit like a see-saw, when you press the first set then the last set gets looser and vice-versa. Press the middle set and you get even pressure throughout.

Manipulating the buttons gives a variate of sensations and I enjoyed playing with them, I liked applying pressure on just one side on the in stroke and then the other side for the out stroke, just as an example of the different ways to play with the buttons.

This is by far the loudest toys I have ever had, easily heard through the sheets and maybe the door if it is not solid. I don't mind but some might.

For lube any water based lube will be fine. The flip hole comes with three samples for you to try, Mild, Real and Wild. Mild and Real felt pretty close to the same, like most water based lubes. The Wild was thicker and stringy. The consistence was similar to Maximus. All worked good and there is enough to last a while depending on how much you use. It does take a good amount but not any worse than other masturbators.

For cleaning use a toy cleaner or soap and warm water. Since TPR is not sanitizable you should wear a condom when sharing. I do not think you will want to share though, keep it for yourself.

After cleaning/drying, close it up and store it in your headboard, toy box or hidden closet in you room, you know the one with the costumes and other cool toys.

When putting the cap on for storage I had a small problem with the TPR getting pinched in between the cap and edge of the plastic casing. No big deal if you are paying attention, if not then you may damage the TPR. Like with most things, don't force it.

I had a lot of fun with this one, when going solo. For those times when the wife was "driving" we did not have much success. She found it hard to hold even with two hands, this took away from other stimuli that I like. Of the three times she tried she only succeeded once. That one time she started with some P-spot stimulation with a glass toy and finished me off with the flip hole. The other two times were without the ass play. She could get me close but about then she would have to rest her hands. When I would look at her face and see some pain and frustration in her eyes, I lost all desire and would roll her over, give her some oral and finish myself. I think the lack of extra stimuli, from her having to use two hands was our problem.

Solo I had no problem getting off as fast or slow as I wanted. The buttons provide some great feelings and can really change it up when I want.

I should mention that for me a masturbator that the wife can use on me is pretty important, I just love it when she gets me off with one. So that is the reason for four not five stars.
