TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator Review

The new squishy, soft-touch TENGA vibrators are creating quite a stir in the sex toy community. I felt quite privileged to be contacted by Lovehoney and asked if I would like to review one of these mysterious new products. Of course, I said yes. I opted for the ‘squishy, white marshmallow’ looking TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator.

TENGA are famous for their widely available and best selling masturbators for men, which include both disposable versions such as the TENGA Eggs and OnaCups to luxury gifts for any pleasure seeking man, like the TENGA FlipHole and new TENGA FlipAir styles.

TENGA Iroha Range

For TENGA to now decide to design and manufacture vaginal and clitoral stimulation sex toys (under the new collection name iroha) is quite a change and one welcomed by the majority. Curious about these new sexual items, I performed the necessary quick ‘Google’ for my selected TENGA, Yuki; revealing it to be the ‘snowman’ style vibrator of the three that have been produced.

The other two vibrators in the TENGA iroha collection are the Midori (watermelon) and the Sakura (Japanese flower).

The word Yuki (pronounced yooky) is Japanese for snow, but I do like calling it a snowman vibrator. I mean, it looks just like one and it’s cuter than referring to it pretty much as a snowball.

Material

After much research, I have been informed that the outer covering of the TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator is FDA approved silicone while the soft, squishy inner area is Polyurethane Elastomer, which is not a liquid but in fact a very soft solid. It gives the Yuki a unique feeling amongst sex toys. The Yuki is also latex and phthalates free.

A couple of days after contact I had the signature discreet brown cardboard box turn up at the door. I knew it was from Lovehoney straight away but only because I have received many, many packages from them over the years, with knowledge of just what the small reference to ‘LH Trading’ refers to on the address label.

Inside the box: my new TENGA vibrator and a delivery slip.

Packaging

The TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator packaging is sleekly designed, showcasing a new concept that does not follow the pattern of the male sex toys’ packaging. Instead of the black and white of the FlipHoles or the vivid red highlights of the disposable masturbators, the Yuki box had an understated elegance that echoes the Japanese regard for beautiful minimalism.

There were two white cardboard boxes that slotted into the main outer card covering. The whole box with outer had been hygienically and reassuringly sealed in plastic which I’d ripped away from the package. One of the inner boxes contained the TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator inside its storage box/dock, the other contained the accessories such as mains plug, charging lead and instruction manual.

Charging Up

TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator Review

There are easy to follow instructions about how to charge up your new Yuki vibrator. Yes, it’s a rechargeable sex toy so you don’t have to worry about running out of batteries. Perfect.

Better yet, it’s USB rechargeable, so you can slot it into your laptop or desktop to charge up as you work or play. There is a USB to mains plug supplied too, for those who prefer the traditional wall method of charging up. Personally, I am running out of sockets. USB is much preferred.

The TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator has two convex, triangular metal buttons on the underside which connect magnetically with two corresponding metal nodules on the charging dock. Just place the Yuki on the charging area and you will feel it connect in the right position.

Wireless Charging

You don’t have to plug a lead into the sex toy at all, which is how it can be described as wireless charging. Instead, the charging lead is plugged into the port designed for it on the side of the charging dock. Once you connect the other end into a USB port, you will see a white LED on the front of the dock light up, communicating that successful charging is indeed occurring.

I left mine charging for about 3 hours and it was fully charged when I returned. I’m not sure how long the charge lasts for, but I tend to charge my toys up after about three uses.

[edited to add: in the instruction manual it states charging time is 120 mins and standby time is 90 minutes]

Operation & Settings

The TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator has four vibrating settings, which are controlled by those triangular buttons on the base, which you used to charge it up. Clever. One is marked – and the other +. To turn the Yuki on, just press down + for a second and you discover the first setting, a constant vibration.

Press the + again and the constant vibration gets faster. Press it again for the fastest constant vibration. The next setting up is a pulsing vibration.

You can move back down through the functions by quickly clicking on the – button.

To turn the Yuki off, hold down the – button for a second or so.

During Use

The TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator, thanks to the inner squishiness, feels different to using a silicone vibrator or another material. My first thought when I held it was that it’s quite like a marshmallow. A marshmallow vibrator. Comfortable! When you prod it, it is firmer than a marshmallow, however. This provides something for you to push against during use

I didn’t actually have high hopes for the Yuki to begin with. I felt sure that the inner squish effect would muffle the vibrations from the motor and I would be left as frustrated as if I was using a cheap and inefficient sex toy.

It did take a while to get warmed up, but once the outer silicone had warmed to my skin, it was (in a non-macabre way) almost like having a vibrating, fleshy finger against me. I used the TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator for external stimulation as although it could be used for internal pleasure, this would be very shallow indeed and I just didn’t see the point.

In fact I did dip it inside but it’s not long enough to hit the cervix and not curved so as to probe the G-spot. I concentrated on it as a clitoral vibrator.

Once the vibrator had warmed up I bypassed the first two settings and got myself familiar with the fastest constant vibrating mode. My favourite.

Success

In only a few minutes I was surprised by a powerful, comfortable orgasm. When I say comfortable, you know what I mean: not the sharp, ripped from your body before you know it kind. The slow, heat which rises from the toes, washing over you and suffusing you with a warm glow kinda orgasm.

Instead of the tinny, high frequency vibrations you might expect from another vibrator this size, the Yuki delivers rumbly vibrations thanks to the inner squishness. The shape lends itself to being held in the hand while the buttons are easy to find and press.

Conclusion

In summary: for ÂŁ69, the TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator delivered a lot more than expected and is worth the price. In fact, I was expecting it to cost over ÂŁ100. You can find the actual measurements below, but this is one cute, small, powerful and, dare I say it, unique vibrator.

I love the TENGA Iroha Yuki Snowman Vibrator, love the charging, love the dock which doubles as a lidded storage case and display box. The only thing I would ask for next time is for a waterproof version, as sadly, this is not waterproof.

Well done TENGA, if the other two iroha vibrators are anything like this one, you’ve done a wonderful job.
