Another slight variant of the Manta includes Fun Factor Jewels, which costs the same amount as the original. And you can also opt for some bundles with a relatively similar price, such as the Manta + Toy Bag + Hydra Lube combo or the Aqua Jelle Lube Bundle. Wands are usually characterized by strong motors and big, tennis ball–shaped heads. Their size and shape deliver external sensation through deep vibrations, which can be downright mind-blowing for clitoral stimulation, in particular. (If you’re looking for G-spot stimulation, you might enjoy rabbit vibrators and dildos, just FYI.) Because of their wide heads, which cover a lot of surface area, wand vibrators are easy to use during masturbation or with a partner. You can also run them all over the body, including on the nipples, penises, butt, and beyond. What should you look for in a wand vibrator? Not sure where to start? Let your goals guide you. Are you trying to reproduce a specific feeling (intercourse? a blow job?), or are you seeking a totally new sensation like vibration or texture? Do you prefer the control of holding the toy, or do you want a toy that leaves you hands-free? Will you use the masturbator alone or during sex (in which case, Dr. Lehmiller suggests an open-ended sleeve that can be combined with oral stimulation)? “There are a lot of options out there, so having some clarity around what you’re looking for can help you narrow down the choices,” he adds.

But you know, I’ve always heard actions speak louder than words. And based on one single fact, alone, that being, that he continually grabs the Manta for us to use together, (totally unprompted by me,) proves to me he genuinely digs using this toy.Sadly, during sex it’s not easy to hold at the right angle. I found it awkward to keep it in the perfect position and also enjoy sex.

Love the sensation of oral sex but currently flying solo? We have good news for you. Sex tech engineers have been busy in the lab and now you can buy toys designed specifically to emulate the authentic feeling of a blowjob. From a practical perspective, we found this really easy to incorporate. When he wants a turn controlling it, he can simply hold it at the base of his shaft from above (so it stimulates the top half of his base, closest to his stomach). This is handy for when he wants to control the speeds and pattern choices himself, rather than me cycling through them at random.

Who is a masturbator good for?

Lastly, if your penis isn’t huge and you’re worried about this toy fitting, the above picture shows the Manta fitting comfortably around a smaller dildo, the Uberrime Splendid in Small size (with a 1.43” shaft diameter). The smaller your penis, the more the wings will wrap around your shaft, which isn’t at all a bad thing. If you’re smaller than that, remember that you can always just squeeze the wings together with your other hand. If you have a massive penis (like, >2.5″ diameter), then the wings will stimulate one side of your penis at a time, rather than wrap around more fully. Fun Factory Manta Review – Overall Thoughts Both of these toys, now live, in the bottom drawer of our nightstand, and they rarely if ever see the light of day. The Fun Factory Manta was super fun to test with Mr. Ruby. We found that its best use is as a blowjob enhancer, though it also adds makes solo masturbation better. We didn’t particularly find it useful or comfortable to use during sex. After we were done doing the dirty deed (a couple of times), we wanted to see how the Manta would perform for solo female pleasure. Since it basically looks like a clitoral vibrator, I assumed it would work to stimulate her. And I’m happy to report that it did! There are so many sex toys to choose from, whatever your pleasure may be. If you’re looking for something with a lot of power, the best wand vibrators will offer you the intensity you’re looking for and then some. SELF spoke with a variety of sex educators and therapists to learn more about what makes these particular vibes so great, and which ones you should consider. What are wand vibrators?

But I just want to put this out there – don’t use silicone lube with it. The silicones don’t mesh well together and it’s just not a good experience.They do more than just add friction. They are designed to hold and distribute lube evenly and make for a smoother gliding action. I also wanted to talk about the toy’s design in my Fun Factory Manta review because I think that it is as simple as it is brilliant. It’s normally best to get your toys directly from the manufacturer, but if you plan to get a few things at once, you can also get Manta from Peepshow Toys here.
