Handle buzz: Some of the vibrations transfer to the handle. Your hand will rattle a bit when you hold it. As I said in the beginning, the Manta takes some getting used to at first. However, once you’re over the learning curve it can be one of the best sexual experiences you’ve ever had. Don’t tell the boys at the Fun Factory, but I found about a half a dozen new ways to use my Manta and none of them were mentioned in the clever marketing campaign.

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. Also important to note: Many masturbators, such as the Tenga Egg, are intended for limited (or even single) use, while others are rechargeable and reusable. And be sure to invest in some good lube (but avoid silicone-based lube if the toy is made of silicone, as it can degrade the toy). What are the best masturbators and strokers? The Manta is rechargeable and waterproof, which means you can take it with you in the shower or tub. When you first take it out of the box, you’ll want to charge it for about six to eight hours. On a full charge, the Manta will last around two hours, which is more than enough for like a dozen fap sessions (at least for me). If you want to get something for anal play, I recommend the Duke or maybe even the Bootie Ring. Fun Factory makes a bunch of male anal toys and prostate massagers that are fun and safe. So there’s no real reason for you to be putting the Manta up there and ruining it. Cleaning and Caring for the Manta

CONS

For foreplay though, the Manta works well as a vibrator for women. It’s especially fun as a teasing toy when used on the labia or clit. Slip the wings or your partner’s penis. If you’re using this solo, use some water-based lubricant to transform it into a stroker. If you’re using this with a partner, try holding it against your partner’s shaft while giving them oral sex. Another thing that I wanted to include in my Fun Factory Manta review was the speed and stroke settings. I really enjoy how versatile and, dare I say, efficient the Manta is. Next, we tried it as a companion to oral. I think we both can agree that this is our favorite. I started by placing the Manta at the base of my partner’s penis, while I focused most of the attention from my tongue, lips, and mouth on the frenulum and the glans head.

Fork in the Road – The forked design of the prongs is outstanding. In fact, this toy would be a worthless piece of shit without it. The total length of the Manta is 7.1 inches, while the internal diameter is 1.8 inches. Now, that’s more than enough for almost every guy out there and I think anyone could comfortably fit inside. But if you’ve got even more girth than that, the flexible wings will bend to accommodate you and your monster of a dong. It comes to us from Germany, where a group of engineers got together to open an amazing sex toy company called the Fun Factory. These are the same visionaries who brought us the Cobra Libre 2 and you know how much I loved that one.To be fair, it is a toy that is mostly meant for solo use, so I don’t expect it to be perfect in everything! Using the Manta for solo play – this is the part I was most excited to share with you guys and talk about in my review. I played with this toy for hours on end and used it in almost every position I could think of. Yeah, I know; I do have the best job in the world. In the end, Mr. Ruby found it easiest to hold it in place at the base of his shaft, then use his other hand to actually stroke. He does find this more pleasurable than solo masturbation. But, to be fair, he doesn’t specifically need the Fun Factory Manta to do this — holding any small-to-medium sized wand vibrator there would do the same thing. The Fun Factory Manta is fully waterproof. To clean, I rinse it in warm, soapy water before and after each use. You could also add a dedicated sex toy cleaner if you like. Allow to air dry before storing it away. With a discreet, user-guided wand-style design, masturbators can target their sweet spot while enjoying the view. Think of it as a tuning fork for your family jewels. In some cases, it’s certainly a better choice than using a hyped up fifi. What Comes in the Box?

Inside the box, there’s the Manta itself, a magnetic USB charging cable, and the usual mini instruction manuals. The benefits of masturbation are well-documented, including stress reduction, reduced risk of prostate cancer and help with concentration,' says Adam Lewis, co-founder and sex toy innovator at Hot Octopuss. See the ridges on the inside of the wings? Those are for lube. The design keeps your lube evenly distributed, for just the right amount of glide. The “wings” and the cleft in the center also enhance the power of the motor, adding a little movement to the vibration. And later that night, when I suggested we give it a try, he didn’t balk nor complain. Not once. Nor did he put up any resistance to the idea. In fact, he seemed just as keen as I was to give the Manta a shot. This was atypical behavior to be sure, totally out of character for him.You know that we can’t have a Fun Factory Manta review and not talk about the specs because they are what make or break a toy. The first thing you should know about the Manta is that it’s made from body-safe silicone. It’s super soft and feels really good on the skin. 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. These sex toys vary widely in terms of looks, operation, and the sensations they provide, but fall most commonly into two categories.
