Tenga Geo Glacier – An Orgasm Predicting Magic Ball

Russian version

I opened the bag with masturbators for review and exclaimed: “Wow, this is a fortuneteller's ball!”

They say the first reaction is always true. Neither the name of the masturbator “Geo”, nor its description, which directly tells me that this toy was inspired by the shape of our planet and nature, could convince me that this is not a magic predictive ball. Come, my dear, I will tell you, if you are going to have an orgasm with Tenga Geo?

The very first thing I always pay attention to is the packaging of the sex toy. Beautiful, tactile package made of high-quality materials, which is convenient to open and interesting to look at, always earn extra points in my eyes. Tenga Geo in this regard turned out to be an ouroboros (a snake devouring itself): at the first glance, it earned a lot of points, and then lost them at once when I unpacked it.

If sex toys for vaginas and clits are easy enough to depict on the packaging, due to which, from the first or second glance at the picture, you can most often understand both the size and the approximate functionality of the toy, then with masturbators for penises the story is usually more complicated, since they have the main functionality hidden inside. Different manufacturers solve this problem in different ways. The most, to my taste, vulgar manufacturers simply place photographs of women in inviting poses on the packaging. Say, our toy will give pleasure comparable to that of these ladies might give. Other manufacturers (including the same Tenga with their series of egg masturbators) put a relief pattern on the package. This already gives much more information about what to expect from a toy, but it is absolutely useless for those who have never used masturbators before and do not yet understand which reliefs bring him (her) maximum pleasure. Tenga, in its latest series of reusable Tenga 3D masturbators without a case, has taken a bold and cool step: it simply turned the masturbator inside out, placing it under a transparent plastic cap. It turned out to be beautiful, conceptual and, most importantly, quite clear, since now you can see not only the relief’s drawing but also its depth.

Tenga Geo has replicated the Tenga 3D packaging experience. Under a transparent plastic dome on a beautiful stand lies a ribbed ball in one of three variations: Glacier is covered with ribbed triangles, Coral relief looks like an interweaving of stars-snowflakes, and Aqua with smooth waves-ribs resembles water. After removing the transparent dome, I stared for a long time at the device running my fingers between the Glacier triangles. Combining a soft and tactilely pleasing material, the shape creates a stunning tactile journey. This, in fact, made me ecstatic, because all of my past experiences with partners and male masturbators were accompanied by subconscious envy that I could not stuff anything into a masturbator myself. With Glacier, you don't have to stuff anything, but can enjoy the sensations of the outside relief.

So, about the packaging. The first bell, which I heard, being ecstatic from the Geo’s relief, rang when I peeled off the tape holding the lid and it came off too easily. When I tried to remove the ball from the stand that was holding it, the pin inside the ball also fell apart into several parts – one remained on the stand, the other stayed inside the ball. And the picture was completed by the collapsed bottom, inside which there was a cache with a lubricant sample and instructions. At the same time, when I say “fell apart”, I do not mean “cracked” or broke. It's just that the whole structure consists of a large number of parts that are easy to put on each other, but hold very poorly.

Geo cannot, for example, be taken from place to place, while holding on to the transparent dome, it will immediately fall off. You can't just pick up and remove the Geo from the pin – it will fall apart, and one part will definitely end up inside the masturbator. The whole week when Geo was at my house, I almost threw out the components of its packaging three times, because they somehow secretly detached.

Using Tenga Geo Glacier is a pretty straightforward thing. You take it out of the package, turn it inside out (it is interesting what to consider the “inside” in this toy – its state during masturbation or state during storage). The toy turns into a kind of rugby ball. Then you add water or hybrid lubricant inside and / or on the penis and start masturbating. Additionally, you can heat the masturbator in warm water or hold it in your hands for a while. In the process of masturbation, it is pleasant to combine reciprocating movements with various rotations, as well as add or decrease pressure with your hand.

After use, you turn the toy inside out again, rinse it under water using soap and put it back on the package pin so that the toy dries well.

As for the direct sensation of masturbation, the Tenga Egg series has received mixed reviews from people. One of my partners with medium/high penis sensitivity absolutely disliked Eggs because they did not give any friction to the head. The Egg stretched and the main friction of the relief fell on the shaft, while there was no friction on the head, but this was a kind of pressure, which did not bring any pleasure to my partner. But my other partner (with low sensitivity) adored the Egg and used it all the time.

Tenga Geo is twice as long as Egg, but if your penis size is medium or large, and you like active friction in the area of the head, Geo can most likely disappoint you, as it will again stretch in the head area and not give any the right pressure, no friction. The low sensitivity of the penis may not let you enjoy the relief of the toy – all these convex triangles, turning inside out, fold tightly enough with each other and the relief seems to be halved.

In comparison with Tenga 3D (in particular, with the Pile model) Geo may even lose for owners of large / medium penises with a sensitive head. The 3D Pile has a very similar relief to the Geo in the “folded” state, but at the same time it is long, capable of giving a sense of movement and friction both along the entire length of the barrel and on the head. At the same time, the width of the hole in 3D is larger, which may not give sufficient pressure, although it is treated as simply as possible: by grasping the 3D Tenga with your hand stronger, you compensate for the lack of pressure. Both models (as, indeed, the Tenga Egg) can provide additional pleasant stimulation with a slight vacuum effect, if after inserting the penis, all air bubbles remaining inside the masturbator are removed.

And also Geo when you remove it from the stand without turning inside out, rolls away! Literally.

You put it on the bed, and as soon as you sit or lie down next to it, slightly changing the angle of inclination of the surface, Geo immediately sets off on an independent journey. At best, you will be unexpectedly shyly touched by a soft cool ball on some part of your body, at worst – you will have to get the toy out from under the bed and wash the dust off it.

ty material and enjoy it (you don't even need a penis for this!).

Remember that masturbators cannot be used without a lubricant. I advise you to take the native Tenga lubricant – it is best suited for long sliding inside the masturbator.
