Fun Factory Manta Stroker Review
So, my partner Ben has a high sex drive (don’t worry, I got his permission to open this blog post with that fun fact!). Naturally, his regular desire for sex thrills me because I too am always in the mood and I am a sex blogger, so I do really need a boyfriend who can keep up!
Ben’s healthy libido and our collective open minds for all things sex-related also lets me expand the kind of toys I review.
So, as you may have already guessed, today we’ve got something for the guys. Although, I can’t lie to you readers, I too very much enjoyed this toy, but more on that later.
Let me now introduce you all to today’s sex toy, the Fun Factory Manta Stroker.
Three words to describe the Fun Factory Manta? Versatile, powerful, dominant, and strong orgasms.
Okay...that is four. Forgive me. Obviously I have a lot to say about the Fun Factory Manta Stroker, and you better bet Ben is leaning over my shoulder right now asking Did you write about how it feels yet? (Let’s just say it left an impression on him, too).
Keep readings for my hot (and informative) Fun Factory Manta review.
What is the Fun Factory Manta?
In all seriousness, a better question might be “what isn’t the Fun Factory Manta?” Really, this powerful male stroker is an all in one toy. Here is a short list of the adventurous uses Ben and I discovered for the Fun Factory Manta (we had a fun weekend):
- 1The Fun Factory Manta can be used as an intense accessory during your man’s solo sessions (pro-tip: these are even more fun when you watch and offer a little bit of “help”). Add some lube to the Fun Factory Manta, and this toy is easy to control in an up down stroking motion or focused one spot stimulation to make solo play even more intense.
- 2Use the Fun Factory Manta to bring oral sex to a whole new level of excitement! While I was going down on Ben, all I needed to do was hold the Fun Factory Manta stroker against his shaft, balls, perineum and I could feel him squirming with pleasure underneath me. Not to mention- it felt really good to have this kind of power over him in the bedroom!
- 3As the Fun Factory Manta online store has listed under this premium stroker, “turns your penis into a vibrator.” Yup! Ladies, you better bet that when I read that phrase I immediately selected “add to cart”. Now, you might be wondering, how is that even possible? I will admit, I was a bit skeptical too, at first. But, turns out the vibrations from the Fun Factory Manta are so powerful that when your man holds this stroker against his shaft during PIV sex, the rumbles from the toy do travel up and around your most sensitive nerve endings- and trust me, from there the fun is just getting started!
So, as you can tell by now, the Fun Factory Manta is a lot of things...a lot of arousing things. Whether you are looking for a couple’s toy, a stroker to spice up solo play, or both, the Fun Factory Manta is the solution to turning routine sex into fireworks!
Fun Factory Manta Review: Design and Specs
So, the most accurate way I can describe the appearance of the Fun Factory Manta is to call it a sort of lobster claw on a handle.
I know, not the most appealing description for something that is going to caress your penis, but at least now you’ve got a mental image, and I promise you the grasp on the Fun Factory Manta is not as tight as shellfish out of water!
Let’s call the lobster claw tip of the Fun Factory Manta it’s wings. These wings are kind of magic, because they are flexible enough to fit all girth sizes.
This stoker's massaging wings start at 3.4 centimeters in diameter and can open wider, but you can also squeeze the wings tighter with your hand if you need a more narrow and firm grasp to maximize your pleasure.
The body of the Fun Factory Manta is coated in thick, smooth body safe silicone, which I should mention as well is ribbed for both his and her pleasure, depending on how you are playing with this toy. In all positions, the Fun Factory Manta feels intense, natural, and oh so good on any and all erogenous zones.
Not to mention, the Fun Factory Manta’s ridges also work really well at holding lube on the stroker’s arm and wings. Maybe you have also found that with other silicone coated toys, lube lends to slide right off their smooth surfaces. Thanks to the ridges on the Fun Factory Manta, using lube with this toy does not result in a colossal waste of the product or your money, and lube makes this stroker feel that much more pleasurable.
Just be careful, though, because you should only be using water based lube with a silicone toy like the Fun Factory Manta. A silicone based lube will only degrade and damage this silicone toy’s smooth material.
The intense, arousing sensations brought on by the Fun Factory Manta stroker can also be attributed to this toy’s powerful vibrating motor, which is preloaded with six patterns that can rumble at six different speeds for a totally unique pleasure experience.
Unlike other toy’s whose motors shake the whole toy, including the handle, into some lame buzzing machine (yes- been there, done that), the Fun Factory Manta intelligently places this stroker’s motor right at the base of its wings.
What does that feel like? Ben says, with all the elegance in the world “very good.”
I am going to take that review a step further by adding that the placement of the motor on the Fun Factory Manta makes it so that the vibration power is balanced along the arm and tip of the toy, and the motor’s power is not wasted by shaking the toy’s handle and leaving your arm numb.
Speaking of the handle, not only does it have limited rumbles so that you are only feeling these powerful vibrations exactly where you want to, but the Fun Factory Manta also offers a really powerful grip to its user.
What Ben and I found really unique about the black ABS plastic handle on the Fun Factory Manta is that it has a round loop going right through it. So, when you hold the Fun Factory Manta, your fingers go inside the toy to get a really good grip on it.
To me, this makes the Fun Factory Manta an ideal couples toy; no matter how intense and enthusiastic your bedroom activities get, you know the Fun Factory Manta is holding still to deliver direct, powerful pleasure.
Fun Factory Manta Review: Unpacking the Box
The first thing I need to say about the Fun Factory Manta product box: it is not hiding anything. The front of the box shows the Fun Factory Manta stroker in all its colour and glory.
So, with the Fun Factory Manta makes for a perfect couple’s gift, just make sure no one is unwrapping it in front of the parents.
Inside the Fun Factory Manta box is everything you need to get this toy going: the Fun Factory Manta itself, a charging cord, and a series of colourfully illustrated guides that are easy to read and will help you quickly learn how to operate your Fun Factory Manta.
One note on the Fun Factory Manta’s charging cord- it does not come with a USB adaptor, so you will have to get one of those separately if you don’t already own one.
I always just use the USB adapter I have from my phone charger, but the only problem with that is that you need to remember to switch the toy’s cord out and put your phone cord back in after the toy is fully charged!
If that sounds like work you won’t remember to do (and no one likes a dead phone battery), Fun Factory sells a wall plug in charger separately that you can add on to your purchase.
You will also want to set aside some time to charge your Fun Factory Manta: the first charge will take around 6 hours. I know, that is a long time to build up the anticipation of trying this toy!
But, letting it charge properly the first time will help ensure the longevity of the Fun Factory Manta’s rechargeable battery. After that first charge, you will have two hours of uninterrupted play time to live out all your fantasies and desires with the Fun Factory Manta stroker.
Our Experience with the Fun Factory Manta
To set the scene, I will let you know that I bought the Fun Factory Manta for Ben. He didn’t know this toy was coming, but now that he and I have been dating for a while this guy has become pretty used to me putting new sex toys in his face each week (kodus to him for always being down to try them with me!).
So, I gave Ben the Fun Factory Manta, told him all the different ways it can be used, and needless to say he was excited. Ladies, if you do the same, my recommendation would be to charge it first. Once your man hears about the action you want to get into with the Fun Factory Manta, he will be raring to go immediately.
Our Fun Factory Manta review is this: the Fun Factory Manta is nice as a way to enhance solo masturbation…
Ben said lube helped a lot in making the Fun Factory Manta feel like another layer of pleasure while he was jerking off.
He also commented that it required a bit more coordination to pair the Fun Factory Manta’s stroker with his own grip, and alternate between the two, but once he got the hang of it he was really into the unique and different sensations the Fun Factory Manta created.
... is great as a couple’s toy…
Both of us enjoyed the vibrating pleasure the Fun Factory Manta created during PIV sex.
When the Fun Factory Manta was resting on the base of Ben’s penis, and particularly when this stroker was at its highest intensity setting, I could actually feel the vibrations coming up and through my own body.
Just, wow. I might have even liked this Fun Factory Manta positioning more than Ben. He said it was an arousing sensation. It made me orgasm.
...and is amazing as a blow job enhancer!
There is just something about the way the Fun Factory Manta is designed, probably the winged silicone tips and easy grab handle, that makes this stroker really innuitive for making oral sex go from routine to life changing.
After sex, Ben and I finished things with a blow job, and now it was his turn to enter euphoria. Pairing the lip and tongue techniques I already know he loves with the vibrating, stroking sensations of the Fun Factory Manta sent him over the edge, fast. When I asked him how the Fun Factory Manta felt during oral, it took him about 5 minutes to reply. I think that says enough: the man was left speechless.
Finally, I should mention as well that the Fun Factory Manta is waterproof, so cleaning up was easy. Just a bit of warm water and soap and the Fun Factory Manta was good as new. I also think we will be using the Fun Factory Manta in the shower next time around...
Where to Buy the Fun Factory Manta Stroker
I purchased the Fun Factory Manta directly from the the official Lovehoney site. The benefits of this include the confidence that you are buying from a trusted seller of sex toys in Lovehoney, and not a knock off from a questionable site. Not to mention, I've partnered with Lovehoney numerous times and I have always have had a wonderful experience with them.
The Fun Factory Manta is $184.99, which Ben and I agreed is a reasonable and standard price for a high quality, durable, and versatile male masturbator like the Fun Factory Manta.
My Final Fun Factory Manta Review
As you can tell from my Fun Factory Manta review, Ben and I are totally pleased with this purchase. Fun Factory does it again by living up to their name and making yet another incredibly fun toy!
