The Tenga Flip orb is an interesting itteration of Tengas line of reusable mastrubators. It retains the hinge opening design of other Flip toys and adds firm plastic orbs to designed to stimulate the shaft. It feels great and is easy to clean making it an excellent toy for a lazy solo session.
The Flip Orb follows the design aesthetic of most Tenga toys; sleek function driven design, usually devoid of anatomical features. It is a stroker or onahole style toy with a hard outer shell encasing a soft textured inner sleeve. There are hard plastic orbs encased in the sleeve which provide stimulation to the penis shaft. The casing is hinged and opens making the toy easy to clean. The hinged design also makes it easy to apply lube evenly to the toys interior. The toys oriface has a series of concentric ribs which trap lube inside. The flip orb is hourglass shaped whick makes it easy to grip and adds a constriction point to the interior sleeve. There are flexible panels along two sides which increase sensation and create suction when squeezed.
The opening is tight but very stretchy and soft making insertion feels great. The sleeve has a nice interior texture which provides pleasant but not overwhelming sensation. The orbs are understated and provide less sensation than I anticipated. Most Tenga toys are designed to provide suction, the Flip Orb produced significantly more suction than I expected. The suction feels great but there is no release valve so I had to open the toy or pull out to reduce the pressure.
The orbs do stimulate the penis shaft as advertised but the sensation is subtle. The orbs are overshawowed by the sleeve texture and suction which produce significantly stronger sensation. Squeezing the flexible side panels make the sleeve feel significantly tighter. The toy opens up as designed making it easy to clean. After Use I rinse it out with cool water and let it dry for next time.
The hard exterier shell is made of polycarbonate which is durable and relatively lightweight. The inner sleve is made of Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which is pliable and soft and feels good but can harbor bacteria if improperly cleaned. The orbs are made out of ABS plastic and completely encased in the TPE sleeve. The Flip Orb is far better quality then Tenga's disposable toys and is of comparable quality to similar toys like fleshlight. The Flip Orb is in the middle of Tenga's line of reusable toys in terms of price and quality.
I have had the Tenga Flip Orb for a couple of years and it is starting to show signs of wear. Some of the nubs of the TPE sleeve have gotten worn or stretched out. I was initially concerned that the hinge would break, because it appears somewhat delicate, but it has withstood vigorous use for over a year. The Tenga Flip Orb is easy to clean, I open it up rinse it out with cold water then leave it on the counter until it is dry. If the Flip Orb is closed and stored before it is completely dry bacteria or mold could potentially grow on the TPE material.
The Flip orb was packaged in a simple clear plastic clamshell. The packaging has minimal decoration designed to highlight the toy and its features. The packaging serves its purpose of protecting the toy and can be disposed of discreetly. There were 2 sachets of Tenga lube. The flip orb costs $69 (nice!), which is a reasonable price for a reusable toy from a renowned sex toy manufacturer.
The Tenga Flip Orb is fairly priced, provides great stimulation and is easy to clean after use. It is well designed, and has an excellent internal texture. The Flip Orb is a good toy for anyone looking for easy cleanup after a solo session. It is also easy to hold and to use making it good choice for use with a partner.
