Tenga 3Dx ZEN Reusable Masturbator Stroker

The Tenga 3Dx ZEN is a reusable masturbator from Tenga's 3D series, made from a thick, very soft and stretchy elastomer with a sculpted 3D pattern of fine, wavy grooves. The ZEN design is about calm, even sensation rather than a hard grip: the texture massages the whole length at once, and the waves give a controlled, subtle feel. It turns inside out for cleaning and comes with a 5 ml sachet of lube so you can try it straight away.

What "3D" means here

Most strokers hide their texture inside a sleeve. Tenga's 3D series puts the pattern on the outside, where you can see it, and you turn the sleeve inside out before use so that the sculpted surface lines the channel. The 3Dx ZEN's pattern is a series of fine, carefully spaced waves. Because the material is so thick and elastic, the waves press in all along the shaft rather than at a single tight point, which gives a steady, enveloping massage. Think slow and immersive rather than intense.

Who the ZEN suits

If you find heavily ridged or tight strokers overwhelming, or you like to take your time, the ZEN's softer texture is a good fit. It also suits people who are new to sleeves and want something forgiving. If you prefer pronounced, changing sensations, the stacked-triangle Tenga 3D Pile is a more varied choice from the same family.

Using the 3Dx ZEN

Turn the sleeve inside out so the textured side faces in. Add lube inside the opening and on yourself; the included 5 ml sachet covers the first session, and after that any water-based lube works well. The very elastic material stretches to fit most sizes, so ease in slowly and let it settle around you. A light grip lets the waves do the work, while squeezing the outside presses the texture in more firmly. Add lube whenever you feel drag. Warming the sleeve under warm water for a minute beforehand makes the soft material feel even more natural; dry the outside afterwards so your grip stays secure.

Cleaning and drying

Being able to turn it inside out is what makes the ZEN easy to keep clean. After use, invert it and rinse the whole textured surface under warm running water, using a little mild soap if you like. Squeeze out excess water and place it on the drying rack built into the packaging box, which holds it upright so air reaches every side. Wait until it's completely dry before storing it in the box, since trapped moisture is the main cause of odour in any sleeve.

Size and materials

It measures 6 x 6 x 14.5 cm and weighs 380 g, which gives it a satisfying heft in the hand. The sleeve is elastomer, while the stand and parts of the box use ABS and PC plastic. Store it out of direct sunlight to keep the material soft, and away from other coloured toys that can stain it.
