The Fun Factory Manta is a good toy but it does take some getting used to when using it with sex. The toy is not your regular stroker, but is marketed as a vibrating penis stroker with the added benefits of being used to turn your penis into a vibrator for sex as well as a toy that can be used with a BJ. I do have to say that it does blend these things together very well. You cannot compare it to a stroker that covers your shaft from top to bottom. The Manta is more than that and is actually more a couples toy than a toy for solo but it can certainly be used for such. I would 100% recommend it for use with mutual masturbation though and works wonders on the tip.
I enjoy the Manta and it is amazing for edging and is a wonderful addition to any sort of soft BDSM play. This stroker has 6 speeds and 6 vibration variations which are super powerful! When using it during sex, it didn't do much for her and was a bit awkward to position comfortably - that being said, it may just take some practice.
All that being said, the vibrations are a different sensation and they may take some getting used to or just straight up may not work for some.
Pros
Powerful vibrations
A couples toy that is for the man
1 year warrantee
Excellent quality
Travel lock
Cons
Battery takes forever to charge
Charger continually falls off
Can be awkward to position when using with penetrative sex
The Fun Factory Manta is a unique penis massager/stroker that certainly works well. It has two flexible 'wings' that surround the penis which is nice as it makes the toy fit probably any size man. The 6 speeds and vibration variations brings the toy from low to a super high and rumbly vibration. The build quality is excellent and the 1 year warrantee seals the deal.
Design
The Manta is well made from body safe silicone and the surface is smooth and soft. The handle part with the buttons is plastic though, but that shouldn't be coming in contact with any parts of your body. Although it toy is ergonomic, it is also a bit confusing as to how to use it when incorporating it into sex as the size becomes a bit of an issue. But like I said before, It may just need some practice in using it.
The toy is also a dust magnet. Keep it in a box or something clean because it does not come with a case.
Experience
This toy felt amazing. The vibrations are super rumbly and powerful and I don't know how any man can use level 6 for any extended period of time. Use it with lube or just go for it without - you can do what you want and you will be amazed.
Quality
The quality of the Manta stroker is high. The product is weighty and it is well made. However, with mine, the silicone on the wings was not properly smooth (you can see in the picture). I don't think this affects anything, but if the toy costs $80, I expect it to be flawless.
Price
The toy comes in at $80 on Amazon which is reasonably priced for a quality toy I'd say. That being said, the Manta does not come with any sort of travel bag or case, which can be a deal breaker for some. Many people expect some sort of bag when purchasing a toy of this caliber, but although it is not discreet, you can keep it in it's box.
Performance
The Manta 100% lived up to expectations. The sensations are amazing both solo and as a couples toy, but the battery life is terrible for the length of time it takes to charge. I thought my unit was bad, but I looked on the website and it says the charging time is 6-8 hours for 40-120 mins of play, so I guess that is just what it is...
Packaging
The packaging is neat and modern and I have to say that I enjoyed the unboxing experience. Inside the box you'll fine the manual, a sexy game, the toy and a charger in the iconic red color.
Materials and care
The silicone is smooth which means that cleaning is easy, but there is a groove that gets lube and more in it that needs to be cleaned with a wipe or a cloth. The silicone is smooth though so it isn't a problem to clean, it is just more care than most other toys.
Special feature
One special feature which is necessary on this toy as the buttons protrude from the body which makes them easy to bump on is a 'travel mode'. This locks the toy off so that it needs to be unlocked before it is used again.
Heyyy!
This account is operated together with my wife and we work together to bring you the best, most honest and to-the-point reviews that we can put together. We can safely say that we enjoy toys and this is a great way to help others find what works for them.
Our blog posts and reviews are written with the reader in mind and we hope to be able to give you the help and tricks that help you choose the right toy or get the help you are looking for.
Before we get into the review, I just want to preface this with how the Dame Arc blew my mind with how simple it is to use. It literally has an on/off button that doubles as a mode select & speed down button. That's it. We also liked that the default settings are just vibrate and the raised button that increases the intensity is easy to find, and lifts the speed through the 5 levels of rumbly vibrations. We also likes that it doesn't have any of those morse code patterns! Who even uses those anyway!? (no judgement if you do, its just not for us. lol)
Onto the toy, it is easy to use and the head is smaller than most g-spot vibrators which she likes as anything bigger can be a bit painful to insert. The Arc is powerful and versatile that has 5 speed settings as well as 5 vibration patterns and as I said already, these 5 patters are actually reasonable and nice. The vibrations are rumbly and surprisingly deep for a toy that is so lightweight, but I I have been noticing this more in toys.
Before I even start, I need to say that this is without a doubt THE best unboxing experience that I have ever come across with toys. Both my wife and I were blown away with that just for a start. It has little drawers in the box and to heck with a carrying bag...yeah...you get a whole carrying box that doubles as a charger! No dust and dirt is getting into this toy!
The chorus is perfect for hands-free blended orgasms with penetrative sex. This toy works better for gentle lovemaking over going to pound town. Positions that involve grinding and riding work better as it pushes the clit vibrator up against her. As the man part of the deal, I can say that for me it feels good and is powerful. She loves it too and and it brings us closer.
As it is hands free you can insert it under your underwear too and use the remote and/or app (both of which work very well) to get started and once she is warmed up, you can start taking things to the next level. On the topic of the remote (we prefer to use it over the app), the squeeze function is tops and is a genius way to give that extra boost without fiddling with buttons.
Note that this is a partner toy and although you could use it with a dildo, I don't feel that that would be justified considering the price and how there are so many toys on the market that can be used for solo play.
Fun Hint: You can use this for sneaky public play or while watching a movie.
We LOVE this toy!
The blending of the suction with the vibration is spot on, and not only that, it is not a regular vibration, but the textured shaft moves in the iconic 'come hither' motion which presses on just the right spots.
Just a warning for those with a sensitive clit though: this toy sucks HARD. Even on the lowest setting we need to use it gently. Speaking of settings, there are three suction settings: strong, stronger and strongest. The insertable portion has 10 vibration and movement patterns but quite honestly some of them are weird. We wife prefer the straight forward vibration witht he fingering motion.
The combination of the suction and the shaft make for mind blowing orgasms and I'd lie if I said it was a long ride. Let's just say I don't pick this toy if we want to take it slow...
If you are into 'still doing the dishes' foreplay or getting naughty in public then I'd certainly take a look at this toy as it is discreet, slips in easily and is perfectly quiet enough to not be heard. (And don't think 'quiet' means lame and boring. This toy does pack some punch)
The DuoJoy has two independently controlled motors with 10 patterns each. The on/off button cycles through all 10 but the remote allows you to select different patterns for the inserted part and the clit stimulator. I can't say for sure if it is supposed to be like this, but this toy works better as a panty vibrator rather than a bedroom toy.
Once inserted, you can easily put your clothes back on without anything looking out of place and toss your partner the remote to let him have his way while he caresses your neck, while you finish the chores together or, if you're feeling naughty, while you're out on a date to your favorite restaurant.
The vibrations are good but at the same time they are not powerful. They work together gently to a build up of pleasure but don't get me wrong - you can 100% get off on this toy.
This masturbator from Tracy's Dog is great for stroking. It has a unique sleeve that sucks you in once you get past a certain point. The orifice looks absolutely amazing, which is a shock at this price. The case has a sleek look to it, although it isn't too ergonomic. It's a great masturbator for beginners, although it is EXTREMELY hard to clean if you do not have the proper materials, specifically a drying rod.
The Big Homie (me) likes this sex toy from Fleshlight. It’s made to look like the adult film star Emily Willis. It's a good tool for pleasure. The complex inner texture blew my mind away!
From the company that brings us all "The #1 Selling Male Sex Toy In The World," Fleshlight presents yet another textured masturbating sleeve, this one rendered in the 'likeness' of porn star, Violet Myers. Sporting the usual Fleshlight adjustable suction cap, this phthalate-free thrust-'til-you-bust sleeve made of the company's SuperSkin material, features Meyer's signature Waifu texture in a hard pearlescent case.
You really can't go wrong with a Fleshlight.
The Mainsqueeze Lela Star is a male sex toy known for its realistic, high-quality design that was made in collaboration with pornstar Lela Star. The silicone and elastomer feel nice and the mold of the vaginal opening looks incredibly lifelike. I like the case’s matte black look and feel…however i’m not the biggest fan of the “squeeze-play” feature.
The Cake Stroker is perfect for those looking to step up their masturbation game. If you want a great manual stroker, then this could be the one for you. The best part is that you can buy this toy at local stores, like CVS. I loved the bulbous design and the internal texture. There are well-placed ridges and bumps that are extremely pronounced. You're going to feel each part of the texture against your shaft while you're inserting yourself into the toy. My favorite part was reaching the other side of the open-ended
Fleshlight has crafted the Danger sleeve, molded from Abella Danger's vagina, and it's dangerously addictive. I found myself having a great time with this toy. This toy is a classic for a reason. The orifice is incredibly detailed and realistic, and the sleeve itself is fantastic. Playing with the suction on this toy will give you different toe-curling sensations during your sessions. If I had to recommend a first Fleshlight to anybody, it'd definitely be this one. While it's not my favorite Fleshlight, I think that it's a staple to the collection that's ready to make anyone cum.
If you’re looking for a simple, uncomplicated and fun toy, be sure to check out this line of toys from Tenga. The spiraling texture on this one offers great 360 degree stimulation and pleasure to your cock, and with each color in the series representing a different internal texture, there’s quite a handful to choose from. If this one is any indication of the type of experience and quality you can come to expect from the others, I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun exploring the line.
