A techy upgrade on the humble hand job

By Gabrielle Kassel, Sophie Donovan and Honey WyattUpdated: 03 March 2025 Jump to Products - Stretches to accommodate shafts of all lengths and shapes

• Every egg comes with a 5ml tester of TENGA’s Egg Lotion (AKA water-based lube)

• A lightweight love thing, weighing in at just 54 grams

• A gentle touch is required; these tear pretty easily

• 8 pulsing patterns

• That Cruise Control feature means it releases a little extra power exactly when you need it

• Also available in a XL size for wide guys

• It’s a (sexy) splurge

• Not for those after authentic, real-feel sensations

• Stretchy insides for girthier packages

• An investment (but worth it)

• Not the most subtle addition to your bedside table

• Tricky to clean

• 6 speeds and another 6 rolling rhythms

• Doubles as a bullet vibrator and a clit stim for her

• Avoid an awkward airport encounter with that travel lock

• One shopper labelled it ’too intense,’ so beginners might want to steer clear

• That (rechargeable) battery only lasts about 45 minutes

• Great for mutual masturbation

• Accommodates girth

• On the noisier side as the cap doesn’t stay down

• Have to leave out for a few hours to dry

• Comes with two protector lids (one for each end) that’ll disguise your penis sleeve and keep it dust-free

• Tightness Adjustment System gives you precise control over 8 different pressure settings

• Open-ended design means it’ll work for dongs of all lengths and shapes

• You’ll need two hands to change modes

• Directs 4,850 rpm of power at your (super sensitive) frenuleum

• Can be used static or as a stroker

• Maxes out at 59dB — AKA it’s a tad louder than a whisper

• Firm and not particularly flexible, so be sure to line with lube

• Comes with a discreet storage case that’ll have your guest questioning if it’s a speaker

• Bid goodbye to fiddly buttons; the ‘Smart Silence’ feature means this only works when in contact with the skin

• One review raved: ‘The Ion created a unique feeling that could not be created any other way’

• Not so carry-on friendly

• 15 modes that involve a (delicious) combo of vibrating, thrusting and suction

• Intuitive three-button control panel

• Up to 80 minutes of action per charge

• That silicone head is a tad sticky, so be generous with the lube

• Add the optional band for increased intensity, tightness and targeted stimulation

• Adjustable diameter, accomodating dongs of all dimensions

• Consider it an investment in your sexual satisfaction

• One-way air valve equals serious suction

• Inconsistent textured sleeve makes for unpredictable teasing

• Five pulsing patterns: Low, High, Pulse, Swap and Random

• Just 40 minutes of play per charge

Because not all of us are well acquainted with techy teasers, Durell and Engle share their top tips.

Be open-minded

‘Put on your adventurer’s hat, because you are now an explorer!," Durell says. ‘Having an open and clear mind is key.’

When it comes to toys, try using them in different positions (on your back, on your knees, or if you fancy your own private sex show, standing in front of the mirror) and locations. The time of the day, the lube you choose to use and the environment around you may also impact your experience.

Set up your space

Make sure to think about what’s going to make you feel comfortable. Consider putting on some background music or Netflix if you’re worried about your flatmate or neighbour catching on. And if you’re worried about a potential mess, invest in a sex blanket to spare your sheets.

‘I always tell my clients that creating a space free from judgment, shame, and fear allows you to experience the most profound pleasure of your life,’ adds Durell, who recently appeared as an intimacy expert on Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle.

Lube

Whenever you’re having sex — solo or partnered — we recommend you to slather your favourite water-based lube on anything involved (toy, genitals, or fingers). Engle agrees: “Always, always use lube! It’s your best friend,” she says.

Slow and steady

This isn’t a race to the finish line, gents, so let’s slow it down for a second and make sure we enjoy the moment. It can be easy to get carried away with the sensations of sex toys, but there’s no rush to orgasm.

‘Be sure to start on the lowest setting and work your way up,’ Engles advises. ‘Tune into your body and stay with the sensations. The more we tune into our bodies, the better the experience.’
