TENGA FLIP 360 Review – My Sex Toy Guide

The TENGA FLIP 360 is a modern stroker with thoughtful touches. Gone are the days of hoping you got your masturbator clean, not having somewhere to place it to dry, or using something that makes noise with every movement. The TENGA FLIP 360 seeks to solve the minor niggles that arise when you use a generic stroker. But is $159.99 worth it for a one-function sex toy? Let’s find out together as my partner and I put the TENGA FLIP 360 to the test.

Key Takeaways

$159.99 is a steep price, but this is shockingly worth it. The TENGA FLIP 360 is surprising in all the right ways, and it’s by far the best non-motorized stroker, the quietest stroker, and one of the easiest to use. With all these superlatives, it will make anyone who can afford it ultra happy.

Who Should Try It? Anyone who loves stroking toys, doesn’t prefer vibrations or motorized toys, and wants something reusable will be pleased by what the TENGA FLIP 360 has to offer.

Who Can Skip It? Skip this stroker if you have erectile dysfunction or need a hands-free experience. It also won’t be great for people with grip issues, those who need a realistic stroker, those who are on a tight budget, or anyone who prefers an app-compatible experience.

You Can Buy It on the official Tenga website for $159.99.

What Is the TENGA FLIP 360?

The TENGA FLIP 360 is a penis masturbator with a flip-open design that provides 360 degrees of stimulation. The two halves separate for cleaning, so you can rest assured that every square inch is spotless. This stroker comes with a drying rack, so that the moisture doesn’t trap bacteria inside, either. And the colors signify different textures, so if you enjoy one, you might love the other, too. The purple is more intensely textured while the green is gentler.

First Impressions and Features

Unboxing

The unboxing was lovely. The device looks professional and healthcare-related, not necessarily sexual in nature. It comes in a sturdy box that would work for long-term storage, and it comes with everything you need to get started, a rare find in sex toy unboxings.

The TENGA FLIP 360 came with the stroker, a drying stand, instructions, and two sample packs of TENGA water-based lube, which is everything you need to get started. The stickers point out exactly where to pinch and twist, so there’s not much need to read the manual. You can get started as soon as you clean and dry it!

Features

The TENGA FLIP 360 has features for you to flip out about, including:

• 360-degree pressure pads that allow you to adjust the internal vacuum suction
• Drying stand
• Body-safe for numerous uses

TENGA FLIP 360 specifications at a glance:

How Do I Use the TENGA FLIP 360?

First, unbox it. Since there is no motor, you don’t have to charge it and can play right away. Before you wash it, there are stickers with instructions on how to open it the first time. You pinch the top and then the sides come apart so you can wash it thoroughly. Wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap. Place it in the open position on the drying stand (like in the image below). Leave it overnight if you want to be certain it’s fully dry.

Do you have water-based lube on hand? If not, grab some on your next trip to the supermarket. But never fear, you can use the TENGA sample packets included. Lube up and then insert your erection, putting lube in the allocated spot at the bottom of the stroker. Then, press on the pressure pads to release air as needed, which makes it feel tighter.

When you’ve finished, pinch it again to open it for cleaning. Wash again and set it in the drying stand in the open position to let it dry overnight, or until it reaches complete dryness. Close FLIP 360 by lining up the tabs, pressing the two sides back together, aligning everything, and ensuring you hear a click. Then store it in the box it came in or a makeup bag if you prefer. Keep it away from other sex toys so that the materials don’t degrade each other.

My Personal Experience

The FLIP 360 is the latest in the TENGA FLIP series, a reusable masturbator with suction-adjacent stimulations. However, the 360 provides all-over sensations, whereas the original FLIP concentrated the sensations at the top.

A little background: my partner wasn’t always a dedicated stroker enthusiast. But after having tried some of the best of the best, he’s now a connoisseur. He has picked apart some expensive gadgets and fallen in love with some, too. While he balked at the price of this masturbator before he tried it, now he’s made space in his nightstand for it. It’s that good.

During the testing process, my partner tried to get into this stroker soft and couldn’t, so it’s not the ideal choice for anyone with erectile dysfunction. Even with a semi, it took him a minute to get into the stroker. This works best when you’re fully erect because the entrance is tight and somewhat unforgiving.

As my partner tested the TENGA FLIP 360, he didn’t feel any suction, even when pressing on the pads. But this stroker was the easiest for him to get accustomed to and drew out orgasms the quickest of any non-motorized device we’ve tested. The air release didn’t feel much like oral sex, but you won’t hear him complaining. You won’t hear him at all, because this is the quietest stroker he owns, including his own hand. Usually, there is a learning period where he has to get used to the sensations before he can enjoy them. There was no initial period like that with the FLIP 360; he was into it from the very start.

In the end, this became my partner’s favorite non-motorized stroker. While we have some top-of-the-line penis pleasure machines, this stroker will get the most use. For one, there’s no setup and no charge time; he can just grab it from the drawer and get right to it. It’s low maintenance and incredibly pleasurable, which is a hard target for many male sex toys to achieve.

Packaging

Expect run-of-the-mill, plain brown cardboard packaging when this arrives at your door. When you’re ordering sex toys, this is the type of discretion you want. The outside of the product’s box looks techy, not like a masturbator. But it has helpful information and everything you need to begin inside.

Design

A neat design component is that it is helical, based on the helix structure of DNA. The shape allows it to twist open and snap closed.

When you choose a color, you’re not merely selecting an aesthetic. Midnight purple and aurora green have different stimulations as well. Midnight purple has a denser internal texture for an extreme experience, while aurora green is springier and gentler. We got the green one, and my partner is obsessed.

Material

The TENGA FLIP 360 is made from a combination of body-safe materials. It’s perfectly safe to reuse this masturbator until it shows wear and tear. However, the combination of materials isn’t as durable as silicone, so this won’t keep its body-safe exterior for decades.

The material felt sturdy on the outside and textured and pleasant on the inside. It was very comfortable to use, but only with enough lubricant. My partner didn’t notice a pronounced suction sensations during use, but pressing on the pressure pads intensified the stimulations.

Stimulations

The stimulations on this stroker are the selling point. The combination of design and materials is more than the sum of its parts. My partner reported that it felt more like penetrative sex than regular hand masturbation because of the squishy, soft texture of this stroker.  The suction feeling didn’t come through for him, though. The pressure pads allow you to control the internal pressure, which makes the experience customizable and easy to love.

Sound Level

I wasn’t going to include a sound level review for this non-motorized male masturbator, but then I thought better of it. The TENGA FLIP 360 is quieter than anything else we own. In fact, it’s quieter than when my partner masturbates with just his hand. This stroker doesn’t have the squelching sounds I’ve come to associate with penis strokers. What’s shocking is that it’s even quieter than masturbating with his right hand and lube because it deadens the sound. This is as quiet a stroker as I can imagine. I’m not sure how they did it, but this makes masturbation virtually silent.

Build Quality and Dimensions

The build quality is excellent, though it can be fussy to close at times. Everything must be perfectly aligned, and if you don’t hear a click, it will come apart. The dimensions are larger than any other motorless sleeve or masturbator my partner has tested. It’s large enough for some truly intimidating erections, but it’s possible there’s a penis out there so large that this wouldn’t fit, though I haven’t seen one.

Ease of Use

The flip-open design makes this a cinch to clean and dry, one of the most common pitfalls of keeping reusable male masturbators clean, body-safe, and ready for long-term pleasure. It also comes with a drying stand, so it won’t stay wet and attract needless bacteria. However, when you open it, it becomes a long, rather unwieldy shape that can funnel water onto the floor if you’re not careful. But the easy-open design is clutch and worthwhile, just be careful when you clean it.

Beyond cleaning, this masturbator couldn’t be easier to use. It’s low-maintenance and unfussy, something you’ll want to reach for when you’re exhausted and want something classic and reliable.

Versatility

There’s just one way to use the TENGA FLIP 360, but if that’s your favorite way to masturbate, the lack of versatility won’t be a big problem. It’s a stroker, and that’s it, which is why the price tag is so off-putting. Yet the ease of use and sensations made up for the lack of versatility for us.

Warranty and Support

TENGA offers a 30-day return policy for unopened, unused products.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing

My partner was blown away by how much fun this stroker is to use. The only things he would change are that the price seems a little high for a non-motorized stroker and, sometimes, it’s difficult to completely shut. Once you get the process down, it’s no problemo.

Review Summary

Alternatives to the TENGA FLIP 360

Lovense Calor

The Lovense Calor is a warming, vibrating penis stimulator. It’s app-compatible, so the Calor will work better for people in long-distance relationships or those who want the additional versatility the Lovense app is known for. The Lovense Calor would be better for someone with erectile dysfunction as the opening is easier to penetrate, and it costs under $150, somewhat less than the TENGA FLIP 360.

Kiiroo Luxy Dutch Stroker

The Kiiroo Luxy Dutch Stroker is the opposite of the TENGA FLIP 360 in many respects. The Luxy Dutch will be the right choice for anyone who wants a realistic stroker, as the vulva part is modeled from Luxy Dutch, an adult entertainer. It’s also superior for anyone on a budget, since it’s half the price. But the TENGA FLIP 360 is easier to clean since you can open it fully, and it’s also better for those who like to adjust the grip during masturbation. The FLIP 360 responds to tighter grips, but the Luxy Dutch has a hard-shelled stroker, so it does not respond to tighter gripping.
