If you’re a clitoris-owner who’s ever envied the textures inside Tenga’s penis-strokers, you’re in luck. The Iroha Zen is a mini-vibe that resembles a Tenga 3D Zen sleeve, but smaller, phallic, and non-porous. You can rub the delightfully squishy, tea whisk-like ridges against your clitoris, inside your vagina, or on whatever external junk you have.
The Iroha Zen’s texture
Though the Iroha Zen isn’t explicitly marketed as a penis toy, it still has a unique feel that my boyfriend appreciates against his penis’s frenulum. When I prodded him for a more specific description, he said, “You know how I sometimes ask you to graze your teeth lightly against my dick during blow jobs? The sharpness of the texture is similar to that.”
I’m someone who appreciates a pinpoint vibe or fingernail through the hood of her clitoris, but pressing the Zen’s pleats against the glans directly is a new experience. The buttery, matte silicone glides against glans. With a dollop of lube, it’s hardly abrasive, in part thanks to the squish.
Iroha’s soft-touch silicone squish
My hand squishes the Iroha, showing the pleats and getting mooshed around like a pug's face.
The Iroha Zen’s silicone is thin and pliable, and the underlying layer feels like something between a marshmallow and a gummy bear left in the sun. That’s pretty much the best description. Think of it as a 5″ long, 1″ diameter, and rigid bullet stuck inside an elongated marshmallow— there’s just enough of a squishy coating to form a swelling head. You can smush the outer layer and move it around, like a penis’s foreskin, and it’s delicate enough that I can feel the stiffer, underlying shaft and place some pressure.
Lately, my G-spot has been too sensitive for strong vibrations or a rigid and sharply jutting dildo head. In those cases, the Zen’s gentleness is perfect. The matte silicone and ridges lightly grab on to my G-spot for traction, while the force is well-cushioned.
Orgasms with the Iroha Zen
The Iroha Zen comes in an adorable tea-themed box.
When I press the highest speed’s vibrations against my clitoris through my underwear, the Iroha Zen easily gives me mellow, drawn-out orgasms that extend upon themselves and blur into one trance-like state. The orgasm is not a hard and fast one-and-done or an overwhelming shock like the often-endorsed powerhouses.
