When I got around to testing the toy out, I was disappointed at first then surprised. Opening the cup, make sure you hold it hole-side up, or you’ll dump lube all over the place. The lube is a clear and odorless lubricant that is meant to allow for a one-use, disposable toy. Of course, no one would toss out this toy after a single use unless they were seriously rich or lacking in privacy.

I put my finger in to test the sleeve and liked what I felt. It was a couple of ribs, followed by nubs, followed by more ribs, then finished with nubs made to stimulate the head of the penis. Tenga supposedly is known for using nubs that grasp on the way out, but I was not able to feel them grasping with or without the suction.

When I really got down to testing the toy, I found at first that the Styrofoam expaned nicely to fit my size. That said, I am almost the definition of average in terms of length and girth, and it seemed like there was room to grow in the girth area, not so much in the length. More well-endowed men may find themselves bottoming out early in this toy.

I could not feel the different parts of the toy at first, but once in the rhythm, I could really feel the nubs on the shaft and the second set of ribs each time they crossed onto the head. I would not say that the nubs did much to stimulate the head; I believe they were too stretchy or soft to give any real sensation.

Tenga markets this Soft Tube Cup saying that you can alter the pressure by squeezing the cup; I really couldn’t squeeze hard enough to give any more sensation because the plastic was too hard and the inside foam surrounding the actual sleeve was too soft. Pulling out after ejaculation proved difficult, being so sensitive at that time.

Alas, there was a downside. In order to clean it out properly, you have to take out the sleeve. It’s easy; just reach in, and pull the sleeve out; it isn’t attached to the cup. You can invert it and rinse it out and go again. After just one use, the four part Styrofoam ring began to fall apart. Two uses later, it was gone, just detached, making the cup essentially useless. I took out the sleeve, and just use that now. It works fine, but I would not have paid for the whole thing to just get the small sleeve. The sleeve is sturdy and has held up fine for me so far, more than five uses later. It feels good, but I still wish it was inside something. Besides that, the sleeve smells kind of funny, not like normal rubber.

I give this toy a rating of three stars. The positive points were: sensation, appearance, and elasticity. Downsides were: build and truth to advertisement. I really enjoyed this toy, but it’s not something I would buy for myself or anyone else.
