Tenga is, as regular readers will know, one of Japan's leading adult toy brands, and surely the one that has the most success overseas, helped by its very clean and universal design (a far cry from the kind of highly Japanese style of hentai illustrations you find on box art on releases by Tama Toys, Toy's Heart, and so on). A Tenga-related topic we often like to discuss here on this blog are the various marketing campaigns that the company does, such as the rocket it launched into space or its hat for dispensing tissues. In addition, Tenga also does serious research related to sex and ...

If you've got it, flaunt it. That's a maxim usually applied to more savory assets, but we at Tokyo Kinky also believe it holds true for the, well, kinkier aspects of life. Like having a panties fetish. If you love panties or panchira (up-skirt glimpses of panties), then Japan has the answer to your dreams. From face masks to bibs and art books, there's a wide array of fetish items for you. And that's before you even delve deeper into the world of actual used panties. Combining practical solutions with unique aesthetic, Ligre Japan has produced two new panties-fetish items that we couldn't ...

In what seems to be a reflection of the times and a growing trend in the adult industry in Japan for collaborations with online idols over JAV stars, the nude model and ero-cosplayer Shikimi Otogi (御伽樒) has partnered with Toy's Heart to produce this (and what we think is her first) onahole toy. Otogi is a famous uraaka joshi, a catch-all term for "dirty-secret girls" who have double lives online posting nude selfies and sexual content about themselves. Wha't especially interesting about the Shikimi Otogi Nude Selfies Model Onahole is that it isn't just a basic replica of the model's ...

Handjobs and titjobs are all well represented in the Japanese adult industry, be it awesome sex toys or non-penetrative services by sex workers. But what about footjobs? For too long, these have been the preserve of a select number of fetishists, and perhaps it's time to change that. Thankfully, as we have covered on this blog before, there are some adult toys available if you know where to look. While several earlier toys were made by other makers, we are pleased to see that Tama Toys has finally produced a follow-up to its previous bestseller in the "ashikoki" genre with this Ashikoki ...

Over ten years ago, back when we first exploring Tenga, we heard that the Flip series was/is popular with gay guys. This was, of course, not the case with most onahole-type pocket pussy toys, which resemble a vagina internally and externally. But gay guys know what they like to feel in their cock, just like straight guys, and the Flip was the kind of toy that didn't try to mimic a female body per se. Fast-forward a decade or so and the Japanese sex toys industry hasn't really done much in that direction. Sure, there are plenty of toys for gay guys out there, but these are almost exclusively ...

It's Valentine's Day season, which means one thing in the adult industry: Tenga chocolates. Yes, the Apple of the Japanese sex toys industry has established a curious side line in chocolate sweets. It began in 2019 and continued in 2020. We're not sure what happened in 2021, but the good news is that Tenga is back in 2022 with three new Tenga Chocolate products. In keeping with the maxim that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, the basic premise remains the same: the chocolates come in packaging that resembles a classic Tenga Cup and the individually wrapped chocolates themselves looked like ...

We spent a fair bit of time and digital inches talking on this blog about pubic hair, especially women's, and the various ins and outs of Japanese trimming habits in this regard. We probably don't give enough space to talking about another kind of hair: the underarm variety. Fortunately, we now spot a toy from A-One that is here to address this gap in the discourse. The Gyaru Mama Armpit Vagina Sex Masturbator is a kind of multi-fetish toy all in one, combining our love for all things gyaru with young mother and armpits. As you might expect, the skin is tanned and bronze like a true ...

The best kind of sex and intimacy is hands-on. Toys are great but can create extra layers of elastomer or other material between yourself and your own body, or even your hands and your partner's body. There is the risk of things becoming clumsy, clunky, or even mechanical. Sex is, after all, not like driving a car. Japan's most design-conscious adult brand, Tenga, is well aware of all this, hence it came up with the SVR vibrator series of "wearable" toys. These smoothly textured vibes have rings for slipping on a finger or two, allowing you to stimulate your partner's vagina or clitoris ...

You've perhaps heard about the Tenga Pocket Hat. Maybe you got the Tenga iPhone case. But what about Tenga shoes? Yes, that's what self-professed performer Bokunou (ぼく脳, literally "my brain") has crafted, using the insides of a Tenga toy -- the inner coating that provides such awesome stimulation on your cock -- as unique decoration for the midsoles on a customized pair of sneakers. The sneakers are a simple gray and white, with "TENGA" written in red. It's not clear which Tenga toy he used as the material for the footwear, but the white color suggests it came from several Tenga ...

Christmas is over. The presents are unwrapped. The meal is consumed. Now you are ready to warm yourself up (presuming you live in the Northern Hemisphere) to survive the rest of the holidays and the winter. Well, we have been covertly watching porn on our phone whenever relatives weren't looking. That's helping us get through these cold days. But if you want to spice things up even more, whether alone or with a partner, then you need some adult toys. And now we hear news from our friends at Kanojo Toys that they are having a massive New Year sale. You can get 20% off any order from now ...
