Iroha Minamo Vibrator By Tenga Review 3

As you may recall I tested and reviewed the new Tenga line for women sometime ago and although I liked one of the three vibes much better than the other, I was excited when I received the newest line of vibrators from the company. If you are interested you can find my review of the first Tenga line for women HERE.

This time there are two in the collection, but I decided to review them separately as they are just different enough to allow me to do that. The one thing that I personally think Tenga does really well is it’s packaging. The boxes that these toys come in are very pretty and every time I open a new Tenga toy I have that feeling that it’s Christmas all over again. The packaging consists of two separate boxes, but that are held together by one sleeve. Each of the separate boxes contains an element of the toy. The first one is the vibe and charging case itself, whilst the other has the charger cable, instructions and inside.

One of the things that I know myself and many other reviewers struggled with when it came to the last collection from Tenga was the fact that the charging cases which also double as a storage case was see through. Now I don’t care who sees my toys, but I know a lot of people who would rather not let others see them, so when I discovered my new vibes charging case was black and kinda just blend in when placed on the bedside table, I was happy to say the least. It’s nice to know that a company does listen to both customers and reviewers. The charging station is basically a long black box, that is hinged. I was glad to see that the charger cord fits into the back of the box, which makes it even more discreet. You also have to actually press a button on the front of the box in order for it to open again another feature that I liked.

Nestled inside the charging box you will find the Minamo vibe itself and I have to say I really liked what I saw when I first opened it up. This vibe is a pale pastel blue, and fits perfectly into the charging station, which is molded and contains two pins that correspond to the buttons on the vibe itself, making it fool proof to be honest. The vibe itself is totally different when it comes to shape as it is long and could be said to resemble a penis, albeit a pastel blue penis but to me this is an elegant looking vibe. I charged my Minamo vibrator over night and the next morning set about putting it to the test.

Solo Test:
As already stated the Minamo is an insertable vibe and it is on the slightly slender side, so if you prefer something with a little girth this might not be the toy for you. The vibe itself is about 61/2” long with around 4” of that actually bring insertable. It does have a slight curve along it’s length and is contoured with some dimples on one side. To operate the vibe you have two control buttons. One switches it on and off and the other will cycle you through it’s four speeds, three of which are standard vibrations, whilst the fourth is a pulsing vibe. As the controls are at the end of the vibe I found them very easy to use when I was using the Minamo.

One thing I did love about the Minamo is the vibrations travel right along the length and to the very tip of this vibe. Actually the vibrations are quite intense at the very tip and I quickly discovered that when I applied this to my clit I really enjoyed the sensation, and an orgasm came quickly. When it comes to inserting the vibe I’m not quite such a fan, it felt good but wasn’t enough to make me orgasm even after I’d already had a clitoral orgasm already, and trust me when I say it wasn’t because I wasn’t trying because I was.

Another plus for the Minamo goes to the fact that it’s waterproof. This for me is always a plus, and when a vibe comes with a price tag of over $100 I expect it to be waterproof, if the truth be told.

Partner Test:
When it comes to partner play the Minamo isn’t that practical, which is a pity as I had high hopes for it. When it comes to doing the horizontal tango the slender size and shape of the Minamo should in theory lend itself to being placed between two bodies, but in practice it didn’t quite work for us. The one time that it did work was when we were in doggie style and this allows for easy access to my clit. This made for an explosive experience and one that has been repeated a few times since.

What’s It All Add Up To?
I like the Minamo, I don’t love it, but I do like it. I love it for the fact that it doesn’t pick up cat hair, which is often a problem in our two cat household. I love it because it’s waterproof, which means it’s versatile. I like it because when I use it for clitoral stimulation it works for me. I like it because it’s easy to clean, and I like it for it’s docking station. I love the fact that it holds it’s charge well, and one charge can make for many playful nights of fun. In theory I should love this toy but it just isn’t doesn’t deliver quite enough power for me to to enjoy it internally or I would of loved the Minamo.

If you are looking for a quiet and slender vibe that delivers a clean and strong vibration, this is a vibe I would happily recommend. Just because it doesn’t have enough power to get me off when I used it internally, does not mean it would not work for you. The Minamo has many pluses and for me the major one is that it delivers a clitoral orgasm each and every time I use it, and that can never be a bad thing.

    I love the new vibes by Tenga, at least I think I do. I would love to have one. They just all look so awesome. And they are Tenga, such a great brand.

    Love it when you include a video Jenne! I have 2 of the smaller Irohas- Sakura and the snowman one. They work on orgasm 2 or later but just aren’t strong enough for the first one. I like that they are soft enough for direct tip of my clit stimulation (I use the strongest vibes I can find on my clit shaft instead) but I keep wishing the white one (which has a 1″ insert able portion) was longer so I could use it deeper. Hopefully I’ll acquire one of my own to review- will you possibly be willing to trade one? Lol guess I’ll have to check the Toyswap

    I really like this new line Karen! Wasn’t so keen on the last three they brought out but these are pretty good. Still working on testing the Mikazuki but should have the review done by the weekend.

    Sangsara I maybe persuaded who knows LOL I love the material they are using on these vibes. No cat hairs sticking is always good in this house, and they feel comfortable too.
