Known for creating the most stylish and best-designed adult toys in Japan (and the world), Tenga is also one of the most innovative when it comes to marketing.
It loves to make seasonal products and campaigns, and we don't just mean holding a sale or putting together some themed packaging.
For example, it regularly offers chocolates in Tenga Cups for Valentine's.
It's currently offering a special New Year's Tenga set, inspired by Japanese traditions.
The brand has sold such sets since 2017. This year's comes in a wooden box with decorative paper, housing a Premium Tenga Original Vacuum ...
It's Valentine's Day season, which means one thing in the adult industry: Tenga chocolates.
Yes, the Apple of the Japanese sex toys industry has established a curious side line in chocolate sweets. It began in 2019 and continued in 2020. We're not sure what happened in 2021, but the good news is that Tenga is back in 2022 with three new Tenga Chocolate products.
In keeping with the maxim that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, the basic premise remains the same: the chocolates come in packaging that resembles a classic Tenga Cup and the individually wrapped chocolates themselves looked like ...
'Tis the season for celebration, after all, and Tenga has reached a major milestone.
And a very profitable one at that: 100 million sales of its Tenga Cup series.
The Tenga Cup 100 Million Sales Commemoration Set is a special release to celebrate this phenomenal achievement.
As regular readers know, we love writing about Tenga -- sometimes called the Apple of the Japanese adult industry -- and couldn't resist this story. We have grown old with Tenga: the Cup came out first in 2007 and has morphed into so many versions over the years since. Along with the Tenga Egg, the Cup secured the ...
Remember Onanist Take, the somewhat eccentric adult content creator who previously had a bath with 400 masturbator toys?
Well, for this next stunt, he decided to try his hand at some DIY.
He attempted to convert a standard Tenga onacup into a powered automatic masturbator. (Of course, he could have just bought a Tenga Gyro Roller, which basically does just that.)
Onanist Take used a Tenga Cup in combination with a floor fan, whose protective cover he had removed. He attached the cup to the middle rather crudely with tape and then gamely slide his cock into the cup.
He pressed the "on" ...
Tenga continues to show that there is mileage yet in the onacup concept. The cup-style masturbator toy has, of course, already yielded so much for the top Japanese adult brand, not least the Tenga Cup series that has become a global smash.
And now it has returned to revamp this cup idea with an entirely new take: behold the Tenga Aero.
On top of the futuristic design, the best innovation here is the adjustable tightness and vacuum, which recalls the Flip Hole (the first toy that Tenga produced with detailed yet easy way to customize the sensations), though with a totally different kind of ...
Have you ever wondered what type of Tenga Cup are you? Which onacup reflects your current mood, personality, or fashion style?
One creative Twitter user took this to the next level: by assigning Tenga Cups to match the different outfits of a woman -- specifically, a music idol.
The classic red "deep throat" onacup is sporty. The white version is a shrine maiden. The Premium Cup is a glitzy outfit. The Rainbow Pride Cup is a bikini. And so on.
There are two versions of the collage that has gone (very slightly) viral: one featuring Mai Chusonji (aka Chanmai) and the other with Kaori ...
At first glance, these look like Tenga Onacups in all their stylish and universally appreciated glory. But for once, we aren't writing about something that pleasures the cock. The Sweet Love Cup is about the taste buds in your mouth.
Open up these mini onacups and find ten individually wrapped chocolates to eat alone or with a partner, either as a pre- or post-coital treat.
Naturally, the release is timed perfectly for Valentine's Day (which in Japan, is when women given chocolates to men -- who are meant to reciprocate on so-called White Day, on March 14th).
This isn't the first time that ...
Christmas Eve in Japan is all about couples having sex. Christmas in Japan is about...well, cosplay, KFC chicken, and strawberries.
Ever the nonconformist, we are spending our Christmas doing what we always do: checking out the latest developments in the world of Japanese adult video and gravure idols, while also keeping our beady eyes on the new arrivals in the sex toys market.
And what a Christmas present Tenga has given us -- and everyone. The Apple of adult toys has launched its latest venture in masturbation pleasure with the Tenga crysta series of (currently) three sex ...
Oh, Japan and its parodic adult toys. Always a new trick up their sleeves.
The lawyers might be rubbing their hands with glee after this one has come out on the market, but for now we are loving the novelty of its design as well as, of course, the awesome masturbation stimulation it provides.
We mean this Mista's Sex Piston Bizarre Cup, a barely disguised parody of the anime and manga franchise JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. How do they get away with this sort of stuff?
Regardless of the legal loopholes at play here, we love it.
You can become an ally of the Joestar family and use the secret ...
The Apple of the adult toy industry in Japan, Tenga still has a sense of humor, which is often very much in evidence its marketing. After producing romantic chocolates for Valentine's Day, it continues its funny and inventive promotional efforts now with the Tenga Furikake, which is aimed at horny male students with big appetites.
No, not bukkake. There's already plenty of toys for that. Furikake, as in the topping that you sprinkle onto a bowl of rice.
Naturally, this isn't your average furikake. It contains ginger, oysters, and garlic, which are meant to improve your stamina and erectile ...
