Tenga coffee tumbler makes Starbucks sexy again
November 25, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Our favorite fashion designer of the moment, Gomi Hayakawa (of feast, the lingerie for flat-chested girls, fame), has come up with a great combination of two great things: Tenga and coffee.
She has come up with a "tumbler" in the Tenga onacup color -- tongue in cheek, of course, and without official endorsement from either Tenga or Starbucks as far as we know.
Hayakawa shared her design idea via Twitter as an example of "Tenga merchandise for girls".
Hayakawa, something of an intelligent-looking cutie herself, hasn't yet made a prototype, it seems, though this is one tumbler ...

And the award for best Halloween costume goes to... this guy dressed up as a Tenga onacup.
He was spotted among the thousands of other Halloween cosplayers out and about on the streets of Shibuya on October 31st.
In the Tokyo Kinky scheme of things, this is the best kind of Halloween costume imaginable.
There were actually three guys around the city dressed up as various examples of Tenga onacup masturbation aids.
Of course, there were plenty of scantily dressed teenaged girls too. They come close runners-up in our competition!
Foreigners have been known to try out ...
Tenga Double Hole Onacup U.S. is new ultra-size masturbation aid
October 24, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga, Japan's designer line of sex aids, has released a new onacup in its bestselling range of masturbation tubes. The Tenga Double Hole Onacup U.S. continues its nod towards guys in other countries who are larger endowed than local customers by being designed to accommodate "ultra size" members.
Tenga has been making some interesting steps sideways recently. That sounds like damning with faint praise but we mean that for its newest releases it has been returning to its early successes to create interesting updates on past hits.
And so we had the Pocket Tenga, a disposable ...
Sex toys are good for environment: Tenga Enoshima beach clean-up event report
September 30, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
We reported a little while ago about the fantastic news that Tenga was giving something back by organizing a special beach clean-up event at Enoshima.
Participants competed to fill up their garbage bag with trash on the beach within 90 minutes. If you could get a full bag, you got a free sex toy, a Tenga Egg or Pocket Tenga.
This means you can put your hand on your heart whenever your girlfriend or someone criticizes you for hanging on to your trusty onahole, sex machine or other masturbation aid: sex toys are good for the planet!
Well, in case you couldn't make it to the event ...
Tenga employees use Pocket Tenga sex toy as business card
September 15, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know, Tenga take their sex toy design very seriously and have a good eye for marketing stunts.
They also make some of the best quality (and best-looking) sex toys in Japan today.
And it seems even their internal corporate modus operandi contain a clever tactics that make an impression and advertise their products.
Business cards are very important in Japan. You cannot work without them. But Tenga have done something pretty awesome. As IT Media discovered when they paid a visit to the Tenga HQ a little while ago, Tenga employees are now using the Pocket Tenga as an integrated ...
Don’t leave your garbage behind on the beach, like this Tenga Cup
September 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know, Japan's beaches are dirty and every year at the end of the summer there is a big cleanup operation to try to get rid of some of the garbage.
In fact, Tenga were clever enough to turn this kind of cleanup event into a marketing stunt, where the most active cleaners get free Tenga masturbatory aids. Now that would certainly inspire zeal among the young.
However, someone should let Tenga know -- they are partly responsible for the mess themselves!
A photo doing the rounds of the Japanese web at the moment is one apparently taken by someone of what they found among the ...
Tenga helps clean up Japanese Enoshima beach with free sex toys
September 8, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've long said that Tenga are one of the most interesting sex toys brands not just in Japan, but in the whole world. Here's another example.
They are innovative for two reasons. Their approach to sex toys always prioritizes the design of the product, from the way it looks on the outside as well as the inside, and even the packaging.
Secondly, their attitude towards marketing, which is bold, clever and fun.
Although the brand has lots its personal touch since it got absorbed by Soft on Demand and started using a major ad agency, we can't think of many sex toys that would sponsor an ...
We always get super excited when Tenga releases a new sex toy.
It's just something about the way they market their products, making proper images to advertise them (a surprisingly rare thing in Japan!), making a special website, coming up with decent copy, and of course the products themselves looking always top notch. Though owned by SOD now, Tenga started off as a small independent adult brand that hit the big time with its Tenga Eggs, Onacup and then, even more so, the Tenga Flip Hole.
But this was a long time ago, relatively speaking. Lately the company has focussed on pushing ...
Pocket Tenga, the ultimate designer disposal sex toy
May 15, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga is back and with a whole new kind of product.
The makers of the Tenga Egg and Tenga Flip Hole have turned to convenience for their latest inspiration. Pocket Tenga is now available -- it was announced a few weeks ago but we held back to blog about it when it was actually on the market -- and is the ideal sex toy to take around with you.
Ideal because you can literally slip it in your pocket and Tenga have even considered the disposal process!
Pocket Tenga is super stretchy and works like an Egg. Just open up the sachet, pour in the lotion (included) and then get to work with your ...
SD Tenga Cups — shorter onacups for better thrusting
March 6, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga, still one of our favorite brands of Japanese sex toys because they look so good, have released a new mini series of their bestselling early masterpiece, the Tenga Cup.
The new SD Tenga Cups are three onacups that are slightly shorter than usual so you can get a better thrust, hitting the end more easily like you are pushing into a tight Japanese girl's pussy.
Obviously this is great for any guy who finds the other cups a little too roomy but regardless of your own sense of proportion, we have tested them out and can assure you that the new size means more effective thrusting ...
