I have been humbly requested to come up with a few words regarding the Tenga Egg Male Masturbator line, which we were given to review by Babeland.  After some thought, I was able to compile sufficient information to provide these words:

“Oh!”
“Wow”
“Yes”
“Oh God”
“Holy S**t”

So far I have had the pleasure of trying three of the current nine eggs that are available, most recently the Clicker and the Stepper.  The nice thing about these eggs is they can be used either alone or shared with a partner, as I was pleased to learn.  I spent some time with my wife using the Stepper on me, and with plenty of lubricant it is really an intense experience that takes leaps beyond a typical hand job.

The Stepper itself is lined with what I suppose I can only describe as alternating rounded ribs/nubs somewhat akin to the Wavy I used before.  However, while the Wavy was a gentle massaging hug the Stepper has a much more intense grip.  I would almost say the texture feels sharper in a way, and it’s less gentle in the way the alternating nubs provide an almost overwhelming stimulation with multiple feelings at once; however, that is definitely not a criticism.  Sadly, I’ve only had one opportunity with this egg but it definitely gave a good scale to how each egg is its own class of pleasure.

More recently, I trialled the Clicker in a solo session, and admittedly I was less taken with this one, although that’s just my personal opinion.  Having said that, I think there were a few factors during use that probably made the Clicker less appealing for me.  For example, the lubricant that is packaged with each individual egg is great when used within an contained environment like inside the egg itself, but tends to become rather tacky quickly when left in open air, which I did by accident.

In my opinion the eggs benefit from additional lubricant, and I found that a silicone-based lube really added some longer-lasting slip.  (I would like to commend the Tenga brand here for their great packaging system and storage of the toy.  The whole gimmick with the egg and the compact lube sample tucked perfectly into the egg itself is really clever marketing.  I could go on with my praise, but I digress.)

Now, the Clicker is an odd duck in my opinion due to what I think of as a lack of texture on the interior of the egg.  While the other styles seem to use a horizontal series of texture lines like the Wavy and Stepper which wrap around, the Clicker has a series of bumps and nubs which are placed in an pattern of alternating sizes.  I have to say it was probably the most… advanced style of the eggs I’ve tried so far, and it was an interesting experience.  Now, don’t let me dissuade anyone from using it, but it was not personally a favourite of mine.  The nubs tended to get a bit too focused on where they were rubbing, leading to what felt like over-stimulation on some parts.

Basically, the final word for the Tenga Egg line is ‘great’.  I’m looking forward to experiencing the rest of the styles and seeing which my favorites might be; it’s a whole variety of choice, like a sexy ice cream shop.  If you feel intimidated by the options, don’t worry too much.  I imagine you could probably pick up any style and go; I’d be hard pressed to say any of them would be a bad experience.  If you’re really interested in running the gauntlet, there is a six pack available, and I can almost guarantee you’ll find at least one that you’ll keep coming back to.
