YouTubers take Tenga masturbation toys to earthquake-hit disaster zone
January 7, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japan's Noto Peninsula was hit by a huge earthquake on New Year's Day, causing massive damage to roads and buildings, and triggering a tsunami. Over a hundred have died, with many more still missing, and Ishikawa and surrounding prefectures have suffered almost immeasurable levels of destruction to property and infrastructure.
As locals subsist in evacuation centers or try to leave the area, and emergency services pour in to bring supplies and rescue those still trapped, the authorities have specifically requested that people outside the region not come as volunteers yet to ease the burden ...
Tenga president reveals his true dedication to sex toy design
August 2, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese designers and engineers are famous for their dedication and meticulous approach. It is this mindset that led to innovations like the Prius and Walkman.
The same goes for Japanese sex toys too.
In the adult industry, while there are a fair few products that are clearly just rushed through the design and manufacturing process to make a quick yen, we never cease to be amazed by the original and striking designs that continue to emerge, month after month.
Tenga is, of course, the industry leader when it comes to design. Its sleek and stylish masturbator toys revolutionized the ...
Tenga makes summer masturbation cooler with new toys
July 7, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
The Japanese summer is long and brutal: once the cooler, somewhat sticky rainy season ends in July, the weather is scorching through September, coupled with intense humidity.
The temperatures mean that people dress lightly, which means more young female flesh on display if you are wandering the streets of a big city.
If you're anything like us, this gets you horny. (All the amazing photo books with full-frontal nudity coming out don't help either.) But squeezing one out -- let alone full sex -- in such conditions is not always a pleasant experience, even with the air conditioning on full ...

Tenga chocolates for Valentine’s Day 2023: Cacao, lemon, strawberry
January 25, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's become one of the staple elements of the Valentine's Day season in Japan.
While the department store tills ring cheerfully with the sound of yen being exchanged for boxes of chocolates in all shapes and sizes, perhaps especially so in Japan where there is a somewhat redundant custom of giving chocolates not just to your partner but also all your coworkers, we are always pleased to see what Tenga does this year.
We can't remember when they started doing it but we love the idea that the country's most successful adult brand, which is best known for its male masturbation toys, produces ...
Tenga creates traditional gift version of Premium Tenga Original Vacuum Cup for New Year
January 6, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
Our good friends at Kanojo Toys are now running a sale for New Year, offering 20% off any order through January 4. Just use the promo code "Happy" to claim your discount.
We figured now was also a good time to take a look back at the year's slate of toys.
And what a year. Frankly, there were so many toys we couldn't keep up. By our count, Kanojo Toys alone added over 2,700 products!
Some of our favorites include the new series from Tenga, the Tenga Bobble, a gel-type masturbator.
One of the most striking and original toys came out toward the end of 2022: the Grasp Heart Masturbator by ...
Tenga Puffy is soft, squeezable masturbation cup fun
December 13, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
It seems that Father Sexmas read our wish list!
Tenga, the Apple of the adult industry, is not content to sit on its well-deserved laurels, but is continuing to produce exciting new releases -- just in time for Christmas.
We spotted the somewhat strangely named Tenga Puffy mini series of masturbation toys and are excited to give them a try.
Essentially, they are visually cup-style masturbators (like the Tenga Cup or Flip Hole series) but with the tactility of gel sleeves (like, say, the recent Tenga Bobble series).
The cup is fully squeezable and employs the latest technology to reduce ...
Tenga sends sex toys to gamer with muscular dystrophy for homemade chin controller
November 7, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga is not only one of the top adult brands in Japan, it is also one of the most savvy in terms of its marketing strategies. It is known for adopting headline-grabbing, viral publicity tactics, not least launching a rocket into space.
But sometimes these are more sincere.
Tenga has provided a gamer called Jeni (or Shunya Hatakeyama) with sex toys after the brand heard that he uses Tenga toys to cushion his homemade chin controller. Jeni has muscular dystrophy and uses his chin to operate a stick for playing games. He has been a wheelchair user since second grade and finds empowerment in ...
Tenga Cup attachments return with Vacuum Max set
September 14, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
After making its name with series like the Egg, the Cup, and the Flip Hole that are manipulated by hand, Tenga has been gradually increasing its lineup of powered masturbation toys.
The Tenga Vacuum Controller came out a few years ago and is essentially an attachment that increases the vacuum sensation and tightness of the cup with which you combine it. It then continued this concept with the Gyro Roller and the Flip Zero Electronic, a vibrating version of the classic Flip Hole.
Tenga, the Apple of the Japanese adult industry, is never happy to sit on its laurels counting the yen that comes ...
