I travel a bit with my job. Sometimes Mrs. Peg comes with me; sometimes she stays home. On those trips where when she can’t join me, she often slips a little something special into my suitcase. Sometimes it’s a movie. Sometimes it’s a plug or a dildo. Sometimes it is a juicy tale about the fun we will have when I get home. On my most recent trip I found the Tenga Rolling Head Cup buried in my suitcase. What a delightful little surprise!

The Tenga Rolling Head Cup is just a little bigger than a soda can with a diameter of 2.5 inches and a length of 6.5 inches. The most noticeable feature of the Rolling Cup is the thing that really sets it apart from other masturbators. The middle third of this toy is pleated like an accordion. There are a few innovative features on the inside as well, like the vent hole and the lubricating sponge. There is even a superball in there (still up in the air as to whether or not that is a good idea). It is the flexible middle, though, that makes this a different type of toy to play with.

The first thing you need to do before playing with the Rolling Cup is to remove the silver sticker covering the vent hole. This hole in the end of the masturbator let you control the suction within the toy. Next, pop the cap off. The exposed end of the toy is a smooth pad. This toy is not an anatomically representation of lady bits. As Tenga points out on their website, this feature “not only offers extra adherence, air-tightness and less lubrication leakage, but it will automatically apply lubricant to your shaft as you insert.” I guess a vulva shape isn’t as airtight. The hole you insert your penis (or your partner’s penis) into is and about half an inch wide. Inside the pre-lubricated channel are bunches of nubbies, fingers, and ridges to pleasure your cock and drive you wild. The orifice is extremely stretchable so the Rolling Cup will accommodate even the girthiest of cocks. Personally, I recommend sticking your finger into the channel to get just a bit of lube with which to pre-lube the head of your cock prior to insertion. The auto-lubrication feature does work, but it just needs a little kick starter. Once the tip of your cock is pushed in, a ring-shaped sponge right inside the opening coats your cock with a generous supply of very slick lube.

Using the Rolling Head Cup is matter of preference. You can simply thrust it up and down on your cock. You can also play with the suction feature by covering the vent hole. I found that by alternating between covering the hole and leaving it open was particularly enjoyable. To simulate a blowjob If found it especially nice to leave the vent hole uncovered on insertion and then plugging it on withdrawal. This alters the suction on the inside of the toy dramatically.

The accordion structure gives you the opportunity to flex the Rolling Head Cup around the head of your cock. Being tickled by the plethora of protuberances on the inside of the toy was quite enjoyable. Alternatively, you can spin or rotate the Rolling Head Cup around the length of your cock which also provides very nice sensations. Given all the options of pleasuring yourself with the Rolling Head Cup, you are NOT going to have a problem getting off. Quite to the contrary, this toy feels so amazing that you may end up getting off too quickly! Being that this is intended as a single-use toy, I wanted it to last for a long session of play, which soon became an exercise in stamina and resolve because every movement with the toy felt fantastic. When I finally allowed myself to cum, it was incredible.

The Rolling Head Cup consists of the outside plastic casing and five internal pieces. The first of which is the TPE sleeve into which your cock is inserted. Between the sleeve and the plastic casing is a layer of medium density foam, much like that of a seat cushion. This foam is firm enough to provide a tight fit within the toy while being squishy enough to allow thick cocks to comfortably fit inside. As noted above, right inside the opening is lubricant saturated sponge shaped like a doughnut. There is also the disk that is made from the same TPE material as the channel. Also in all of this is a superball down at the end of the case. I found this to be a bit of pain. It is in there, according to Tenga, to give “an aggressive stimulus to the head.” I guess one man’s stimulus is this man’s pain in the cock. While it did provide my cock with direct pressure in certain positions, it also became an obstacle in other positions. I found I needed to be very careful about the depth of my insertions so as to avoid a harsh run-in with the superball. Certainly don’t let this keep you from trying this very enjoyable toy, just be prepared to adapt your rhythm and the depth of your thrusts.

Once you are finished playing you can just toss the whole thing in the garbage. In the interest of being discreet, should you find yourself in a hotel room, you can peel off the plastic label, rinse it out, put the cap back on and then drop it in the can. You really can’t tell what it is. I do question whether throwing out a masturbator after just one use is the greenest thing to do. You could probably reuse it once or twice if you added more lube yourself, but you are not going to get this thing really clean on the inside. So while it isn’t the most eco-friendly of products, I do think it is perfect for travelers, an occasional bit of fun in the car, or even in an adult theater. And to be sure, it is a whole lot of fun to play with.
