My Verdict

The Tenga Arte, with its "Weave" and "Drape" variants, surprised me. It's small, simple, but packs a punch and does what its meant to do very very well. Both textures are well made and realistic, delivering some seriously intense orgasms. However, my favorite part about it is the cleaning; its easily turned inside out, and comes with a neat mechanism for drying and storage as well. The only real downside is that its too easy to use — so be warned, it does get addictive fast. I would recommend this toy if you're looking for a simple, small, discreet and inexpensive stroker.

About The Tenga Arte

The Tenga Arte is a compact stroker, primarily made for solo use. It is made from elastomer, making the toy pliable and conforming to your penis. The "weave" variants texture combines small, raised bumps with a mesh-like structure, while the "drape" variant has a rippling and flowing texture. The toy is small, with dimensions being approximately 50 x 50 x 135 mm. Included with the toy is a drying stand, a storage container, and a sample of Tenga lotion / lube.

  • Both textures are unique and feel amazing
  • Comes with drying stand and drip tray
  • Compact design
  • Comes with lube sample

Cons

  • Weave variant's color is not the most attractive

  • Hair and dust latch onto sticky outer surface

Personal Experience

My Personal Experiences with Tenga Arte

First Impressions

I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed the two Tenga Artes. It wasn’t just the stroker itself in the box; Tenga included a storage case, a drying stand with a clever water collection tray, and even a sample of their lube. It felt like a complete package, which was a nice touch.

Usage Experience

Using the Arte was a genuinely enjoyable experience. It performed far better than I initially anticipated. The “Weave” texture is interesting, with several layers of soft ridges, kind of like a honeycomb. The tiny bumps scattered throughout amplify the feeling, bringing it closer to a real vagina. The “Drape” texture is slightly different with its ribbons and ripples, however, I personally felt the difference not that big. I would strongly recommend using ample amount of lube, especially during insertion. One thing I appreciated is that it isn’t overly tight, like some other masturbators can be. Since it’s a handheld stroker, you have complete control over your grip, so you can adjust the pressure as needed. It’s worth noting that this isn’t a particularly large toy. If you’re looking for something that covers the entire length of your penis, this might not be the one. While the elastomer is stretchy, and you could technically go deeper, you’ll mostly be poking the end against the interior rather than engaging with the textured area. That being said, the orgasms I achieved with the Arte were very strong, so this little guy packs a big punch. I’ve also found it to be excellent for stamina training, something I’ve experimented with a few times.

The Best Part – Cleanup

This is my biggest gripe with any masturbator/stroker. However, with the Tenga Arte, clean-up is remarkably easy. The toy inverts easily, making it simple to drain your ejaculate and lube, and clean easily with with soap and water. The drying stand is a brilliant design. You just place the inverted toy on it and lift until it clicks, which positions it perfectly for air drying while the drip tray catches any excess water. This is exactly why this toy should come with an addiction warning!

Alternate Usage

One interesting thing I tried was filling the Arte with hot water for a minute or two before use. Afterward, I’d drain it and then lube it up. The warmth definitely enhanced the sensation significantly for me.

Design

Tenga Arte Design

The textures are a little more complex than what you would expect from your average stroker. The Weave's honeycomb like texture, with layers of raised bumps and ridges, and the Drape's ribbons definitely make this stroker feel a little more intricately designed. I would say the texture resembles the natural folds and contours you would encounter in a real vagina pretty well; the weave provides more friction while the drape provides more grip. The toy is also semi-translucent, so you can see yourself thrusting too, if you're looking for a visual aspect. I took 10 points off because of the color of the Weave - the yellow/orange shade doesn't necessarily scream sexy to me.

Ease of Use

Tenga Arte Ease of Use

One of the easiest sex toys you will ever use, made even easier by the cleaning equipment provided. It is very easy to apply lube on the insides, it is easy to grip from the outside. The orifice for insertion is decently sized, so you should not have trouble even if you have a thicker penis. The way it is designed grips your penis really well, yet at the same time its easy to use your hands to stroke, provided you used ample lube. Cleaning is super easy; just invert the toy, clean with water and soap, place it on the cleaning stand, and then put the clear case back on it once its dried.

Quality

Tenga Arte Quality

The toy feels very high quality, and the extra attention to detail provided with the cleaning stand, drip tray and lube sample further make it feel more "premium". I did not notice any corrosion or wear and tear caused by cleaning using soap. It is very silent to use (the only sound you need to worry about are the ones you make because its that good!). The stand and the tray are made from plastic and are a little lightweight, but I have never encountered it tipping over because of the weight of the toy.

Price

Tenga Arte Price

At the moment of writing, the toy is listed for $23 USD on Tenga's website in the US. I think it is definitely worth it for the price given the quality of materials, and the extras provided in the box. The lube sample was a really nice touch from Tenga. If you just want a stroker that is slightly quirky in its texture, this is an excellent choice.

Performance

Tenga Arte Performance

The toy was excellent in terms of living up to expectations and what Tenga advertises on their product page. Because of the soft elastomer material it is made from, Tenga got it right when they mention how you can a combination of gentle and firm stimulation based on just your grip. The Weave and Drape textures are its main selling point, and I feel they did a good job with it; it does provide a slightly different sensation as opposed to other "regular" textured strokers.

Packaging

Tenga Arte Packaging

The toy comes in a clear, rounded plastic case. The toy is taken out by unscrewing the bottom, which is actually the drying stand and tray. Since it is a compact toy, storage is easy, however, I would not call this a discreet toy, given the case is clear. Keep that in mind if hiding the toy is a concern for you. I also do not like the yellow-orange color; personally I find the color "unsexy" and too conspicuous.

Materials and care

Tenga Arte Materials and care

According to Tenga, the toy is made from Elastomer, which is a stretchy, body-safe polymer. The product does feel high quality, and its design makes it easy to turn inside out for cleaning. Tenga recommends using mild soap and water for cleaning. Since it comes with a stand and a clear case, it is easy to store as well.

Just a tech worker, football geek and artist, who wants to do their part in helping others along their sexual wellness journey. I grew up in a country that unfortunately does not prioritize and invest in cultivating sex positivity, sex-ed and sexual exploration, and that has been my motivator. I also used (yes, past tense) to write back in the day, so what better way to reignite that by mixing it with my newfound passion for sex toys.
