This cute little thing is amazing! Even if I didn’t have a penis, the Tenga Egg would be worth getting just to poke and watch it jiggle! Obviously the concept behind the egg is a bit gimmicky, but don’t let that fool you -- this toy is well worth trying out. The instructions on the wrapper are entirely in Japanese, but operation is pretty straight forward: open it up, pour in the lube from the included packet, and go to town. The Egg is durable enough to get creative, so have at it! The toy seems to be geared towards single use, but if you’re a little gentle with it, you should be able to get many good uses out of it.

The Egg is made of a super stretchy silicone material and is extremely soft and jello like. It easily fits over my fist and should be able to accommodate anything you may want to stick in it. Being made of silicone, you shouldn’t really use anything other than water-based lube with it; so it’s unfortunately not really good for water play. I wasn’t ever able to completely wash the chemical smell off of the Egg, but it wasn’t potent enough to bothersome.

Tenga offers six different textures of eggs, some more subtle than others. The Stepper has row upon row of threatening looking silicone nubs that are absolutely incredible, despite looking like an iron maiden made for a penis. While the nubs did get a little too intense at the end, it was still one of the most sublime solo orgasms I’ve had. Additionally, the material is thin enough to allow for stimulation techniques other than just in and out, which is a huge advantage over many other bulky sleeves. This also makes the toy a little more exciting if you’re using it with someone else. The toy flips completely inside out too, if you wanted to use it on a vulva or anus.

The toy seems to be intended as a single use toy, but if you don’t want to throw it away after you use it, the cleanup is dead simple. The egg flips inside out and cleans surprisingly easily with soap and water, so easily in fact that I spent more time making sure it was clean than actually cleaning it.

Hats off to Tenga for making a toy as playful as it is functional! The packaging itself is small and discreet, and could easily and inconspicuously fit into a day pack, purse, or carry on. It’s no surprise that Tenga would be the ones to take such a light-hearted approach to masturbators and make a toy that’s so cute. The three-step instructions on the wrapper are entirely in Japanese, but the use is pretty simple, so hopefully you won’t need the help!

The only real problem I have with the Egg is how disposable it is. The material is durable enough for a couple uses, but if you want to keep it around for a while, you’ll have to be a bit gentle with it. At about $10 an Egg, it’s either a fantastic deal for a toy you’ll have around for a little while or a fairly expensive one off. In general I’m not of fan of sleeves, just because the added “umph” never seems to be worth the cost and extra clean up, but the Egg was definitely worth it.
