Ever since I discovered the Manta from Fun Factory I've been interested in what it could do! The Manta finally fell into my lap not too long ago, and to this day, I'm still really happy with it. I felt like I had to shout it from the rooftops. I fucking love this toy! Not only has it changed my masturbation game, it's also changed oral sex.

First Impression
Okay, if we're talking about design, the packaging is nothing to write home about. But it's got everything you could want and need to know. You'll find the nice color you're used to with other Fun Factory toys on this package, too! In the box you will (of course) find the Manta, a manual and a magnetic USB charging cable. It reminded me of a robotic beetle with 'claws', that's sort of what the Manta looks like. Like it comes from another world. The toy is made of lovely, soft silicone and has an amazingly powerful motor. Before you can use the masturbator you need to charge it for a little while. But believe me when I say it is worth the wait. I think the biggest advantage of the Manta is that it is completely waterproof, which is great in the shower, and that means it's also very easy to clean (I'll come back to this later). There are about 12 vibration modes, 6 of which are constant speeds and then 6 patterns. It's incredibly easy to operate the Manta, the buttons are located on the 'loop handle' that you can put your fingers through, so you can easily switch between the functions during use. Compared to what I am used to in terms of motors, the Manta is surprisingly quiet!
The magical journey...
Of course I started out using it solo, but according to Fun Factory, apparently it can also be used with a partner. But first things first, the solo aspect. Like I said, the Manta is essentially like a robotic beetle that vibrates. The large 'claws' easily wrap around your shaft. There are also ridges on the 'claws' that provide an extra sensation, but they also hold the water-based lubricant during use. Apply a little bit of lubricant to the inside of your beetle buddy, rub a little on yourself and slide the 'claws' around the shaft... oh, boy! Personally I prefer using it with a little less lubricant, you can feel the ridges a little better. Most of the vibrations are in the tips of the toy, where the 'claws' spread out. It feels sensational when you press it gently against your frenulum! The design is so ingenious that you can actually feel the vibrations around the entire penis and you notice it when you work your way through the different speeds. But the design also makes it easy to slide the Manta up and down your shaft, you'll figure out what feels best for you. It feels great to use the Manta as a masturbator, the up-and-down and around movements penetrate deep into your penis. The Manta will take you on a magical journey to an orgasmic world.
More fun with two
An extra pair of hands never hurts, and that's true for masturbation, too. The Manta actually comes into its own even more when you share the pleasure with a partner. Putting the Manta on the base of the shaft during oral sex is next level... simply place the Manta around the base of the shaft and turn it on to the very lowest setting, it takes some getting used to. Start gently with your lips and tongue on the tip of the glans and work your way up, but then go for it! Then move the Manta with your lips as you continue with oral play across the shaft. Yes, that sensation is truly indescribable. But frankly, it's a tremendous overload for your nerves. The oral part in combination with the vibrations will lead to the most intense pleasure ever. Period. Everything vibrates with you, you try to grab hold of the sheets, you start breathing more deeper, heavier, and at a certain point you reach a point where there is no turning back. Can I put it like that? Yes, right? For me it was one of the best oral/deep throat experiences ever! Even though I usually have no complaints, the Manta really takes it to a higher and more intense level.
The car wash and garage
Like I said, the Manta is completely waterproof and that makes it unbelievably easy to clean. Just rinse it off under the faucet or wash it off with soap and water. Do watch out for the ridges, they can be a good hiding place for lubricant or bodily fluids. But all in all, cleaning isn't all that difficult. You can get the toy even cleaner with toy cleaner. As soon as the masturbator is clean, you can put it back in the box and the Manta will be ready for next time. Personally I've used the Manta several times so far, I'd say about six times, before I had to recharge the device. Of course that depends on how quickly you cross the finish line.
My overall opinion is...
Extremely positive! A regular masturbator with a bullet vibrator is nice, but the Manta stands out from the crowd. I'm far from disappointed! Personally I'm not a huge fan of the patterns, but you could say the vibrations are pleasant. They are powerful and penetrate deeply. The design really works to the user's advantage and makes it very easy to use. It's an amazing toy for solo use, but if you want to have a new experience with someone else, the Manta really is a superhero! If you like penis stimulation with vibrations, or if you are looking to make your oral sex game more exciting, I highly recommend the Manta. It's exactly what you've been looking for.
