Remembered seeing a mention of such a thing over at Danny Choo’s a while back, but didn’t think much would come of it (excuse the pun). However, my eye was caught by this in an Akiba adult department store - and how accommodating it looks! Not a user, or an American, so unfortunately I can’t comment on whether it is truly sufficient for American use, although the flattery probably also extends to Europeans.
This store had several floors of such devices, and Tenga were tastefully (or as tastefully as can be in such a store) displayed throughout.
Absolutely inexplicable? Lucky Star characters in a probably unauthorised promotional venture. The text says “Dutch Wife”, naturally enough. The one below says “large scale hole”. Delightful.
I bought 2 from Shinjuku the other day …. they’re pretty good actually, the deep throat one is great! …The bitter and sweet one is a bit small though.
I am still not convinced as to whether it is a marketing ploy or not… The Tenga folks seem to have a shrewd grasp of how to market them as male health accessories rather than the tacky things with pictures of AV stars on the box. They look like deodorants or some such.
Sorry to disappoint you but I think the U.S. in U.S. tenga stands for Ultra Sized and not United States, I bought a set from ToyDemon.com and that’s what it labeled U.S. as. A search on wiki also confirm the same thing.
Look at the top most photo where it says “For American Size” - I think you are right (in fact you definitely are - it says Ultra Size right there), but a double entendre is doubtless part of their plan, wouldn’t you say?
Yeah I didn’t catch that “For American Size”, anyone seen the new “Flip Hole” model?

Yeah, if you search google you can find it at kanojotoys.com. Looks pretty intense to be honest….all of those nubs and gel. Hmm………..on second thought…..:-)
