Tenga Polygon 3D Masturbator

The Tenga 3D Polygon is a reusable male stroker with a geometric, triangle-faceted texture that you turn inside out before use. Smooth flat faces glide while their sharp edges add firm accents, a sensation quite unlike the ribs and nubs of most sleeves. It's compact, easy to clean and suits curious first-timers and Tenga fans looking for a texture with some edge.

Inside out by design

Take the 3D out of its case and it looks like a small, clear sculpture covered in angular triangles. That pattern isn't on the outside for decoration. Before use, you turn the sleeve inside out so the faceted surface becomes the inner channel. Tenga describes the feel as a slippery glide over smooth faces broken up by surprisingly strong edges, which gives firm squeeze and sharp accents at the same time. The material is soft and very stretchy, so the polygons press in clearly without feeling rough.

How to use the Tenga 3D Polygon

Lift off the clear top case, then take the 3D off its stand. Turn it inside out so the triangle pattern is inside. Add lube to the inside and around the opening; Tenga recommends its own Hole Lotion, and a small sample of lube is included in the box. Then slide in and go at your own pace. Start with slow strokes so you can feel how each edge catches, then build up once the lube has spread through the channel. Because the sleeve is stretchy and open-ended, you can grip it tighter for more pressure or hold it loosely for a lighter touch. It works for solo sessions, and a partner can take over too.

Small to look at, stretchy in use

On the stand it's compact at 48 x 48 x 116 mm, and it weighs 279 g. In use it's a different story: Tenga says the insertion length stretches to about 240 mm and the width to about 70 mm, so it fits a wide range of sizes. Because it's so compact, it's discreet on a shelf and easy to store. Unlike Tenga's single-use cups, the 3D series is made to be washed and reused again and again.

Washing and drying

Rinse it under warm running water while it's still inside out, and use a mild, neutral soap if needed. Then turn it back the right way so the design is on the outside again and sit it on its stand to air-dry. Only replace the clear cover once it's completely dry. Tenga lists the sleeve material as Ag antibacterial elastomer. Stick to water-based lube to protect the material.

Who it suits

The 3D Polygon is a good first reusable stroker: it's compact compared with a large canister toy, it needs no batteries, and the open design makes cleaning simple. Tenga fans who have tried the soft ribs and waves of other sleeves will notice the difference straight away, because the angular faces give a crisper, more defined feel. If you prefer a tight, closed-end suction feel, a canister stroker will suit you better.
