How to Use and Clean TENGA Flip for Maximum Lifespan

Quick summary: TENGA Flip is easier to clean than other TENGA models because it opens on both sides like a book. Rinse with warm water, air-dry, store in a cool place — that's all it takes for dozens of uses.

If you own a TENGA Flip or are considering buying one, this guide covers everything from first use through long-term care.

TENGA Flip Models Available at Thai Tenga

Before discussing how to use it, here are the models available:

• Flip Zero Black / Gravity White — ฿3,990, the standard premium model with engineered internal structures

For first-timers, the Flip Zero Black is the recommended starting point.

How to Use TENGA Flip for the First Time

Step 1: Prepare Lubricant

TENGA Flip is a reusable product that does not come pre-lubricated. You need water-based lubricant before each use.

We recommend TENGA Hole Lotion, designed specifically for TENGA products. Never use silicone-based or oil-based lubricant — these damage the material.

Step 2: Open and Apply Lubricant

Open the Flip lid slightly and apply lubricant inside. Use a moderate amount — just enough to coat the internal surfaces evenly.

Step 3: Close and Use

Close the lid and use normally. The Pressure Pads on both sides can be squeezed to adjust tightness during use — this is the Flip's key feature that no other TENGA model offers.

How to Clean TENGA Flip

This is what makes Flip different from other TENGA models — the hinged design makes cleaning easy and thorough.

Immediately After Use (Critical)

1. Open the Flip fully on both sides — you'll see the entire internal surface
2. Rinse under warm running water — let water flow over the interior, gently rubbing with your fingers. No scrubbing needed.
3. Do not use soap — soap contains ingredients that degrade TENGA's elastomer material over time. Warm water is sufficient.
4. Rinse until all lubricant is removed — if it still feels slippery, keep rinsing.

Drying

1. Gently pat dry with a clean towel or tissue
2. Air-dry completely in a shaded area — leave for 1–2 hours or overnight. Never store while still damp, as moisture can cause mould.
3. Do not use a hair dryer — high heat damages the material.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid placing against hard plastic for extended periods, which can deform the material
• A light dusting of cornstarch or talcum powder helps prevent surfaces from sticking together

Signs It's Time to Replace

TENGA Flip is durable but has a finite lifespan. Watch for these signs:

• Interior surface becomes rough or torn — stop using immediately
• Material becomes abnormally sticky — a sign of material degradation
• Unusual odour persists after washing — time for a replacement

With proper care, expect 50+ uses.
