Fun Factory Manta Male Stroker is a male vibrator for solo play and couples. If women get to have all the fun with vibrators, why can’t we men get in on it too? It was recommended to me by a friend, and after giving it (quite a few!) test runs, I have written this very review! Follow along to see if it lives up to the hype!
Fun Factory Manta is a powerful and innovative toy that provides unique stimulation to your penis head and shaft. Another benefit is its versatility. You can use it for solo play, oral sex, and partner play, giving you plenty of value for your hard-earned cash.
Who Should Try It? It’s excellent for singles or couples looking to spice up their sex life. And since it’s so quiet, it’s also perfect for those living in shared households, as no one will know what you’re doing unless they join in.
Who Can Skip It? The flexible wings only stretch so far, so if you are on the girthier side, it may not work. In saying this, I’m just a regular-sized guy, so I’m not speaking from experience.
You Can Buy It on Lovehoney for $139.99. Use code MSTG15 for 15% off!

What Is Fun Factory Manta?
The Manta is a vibrating stroker designed for solo masturbation or couple sex. Unlike a traditional vibrator, the device has an open-ended design with two wings that you slide between your penis shaft (or your partner’s penis). In addition, you can use it for both targeted stimulation and stroking.
About The Brand
Fun Factory is a German brand that has created sex toys to enhance the fun in the bedroom for over twenty years. They make good quality products with ethical employment and a low environmental impact, which has been overlooked with mass-produced plastic toys.
They were the first company to do many big things – like making toys with medical-grade silicone, and the first to make rechargeable and waterproof vibrators.
I’m always happy to support companies pushing new designs and making products better instead of copying what others have done.
First Impressions & Features
With a reasonable price tag and over fifty 5-star reviews, the Manta was an easy buy for me. The whole experience of buying online was seamless, and thank god for that because I cannot see myself walking into a sex shop these days.
Packaging
My Manta arrived about a week after I purchased it which is pretty standard for sex toys. I came home from work one afternoon, and a plain cardboard box was waiting for me. Since Manta had been on my mind for a full week, I had a good idea of what was inside, which instantly got me in the mood. I appreciate the discreet packaging so my nosey neighbor would know how much of a sex freak I am. Some secrets don’t need to be shared with everyone.
After ripping discreet packaging, I found the Mantra in a pretty luxe box. With a nice matte outer slip and a slide-out interior box, Fun Factory has put more care into packaging than many others. It could easily be presented as a gift as is.
Inside, I found the Manta vibrator in deep-sea blue color, the red USB charging cable, and an ‘Unlock & Start’ quick guide with ideas on including the device in your sexy time. Plus, an owner’s manual with technical info (I never read it, TBH).
Unfortunately, the Manta doesn’t have a storage bag or case to keep it clean between uses. It’s not necessary for the operation of the toy, but it’s certainly nice to have. If you want a little storage bag for this toy, you’ll have to buy it separately.
Design
After unboxing the Manta, my first impression of the toy was its compact size. Nowadays, many male sex toys are enormous devices complicated to use and certainly not discreet. The Manta, however, is a great size, fits nicely in your hand, and looks very similar to a female vibrator.
It’s a handheld sex toy, a little bit like a wand but with two flexible, silicone wings that wrap around your shaft (as I would find out, these are the things that vibrate the hell out of your dick).
I tried turning the Manta on, only to be let down because it wasn’t charged. I don’t know when sex toy retailers will ever learn. To be honest, I’d pay an extra $10 to know that the toy came fully charged, so I didn’t have to wait around for a couple of hours before testing it out. Luckily it’s a fast toy to charge up, and after about an hour and a half, it was fully charged and ready to go.
I turned the toy on, set it to the highest power to see how loud it would be, and was amazed at how quiet it was. If you live in close quarters or house-sharing, this would be ideal. The Manta would have to be one of the most silent toys I’ve ever had to play with.
I started playing around with the controls, and again, Fun Factory has kept things simple. There are only three buttons that control varying speeds and vibration patterns. Plus, there is a great finger loop handle at the toy’s base to hold it in any position.
All in all, I was seriously impressed with the simplicity and unique design.
Completely Waterproof
There’s nothing like getting hot and steamy in the shower or bath; the Manta will only heighten your pleasure. It’s fully waterproof, making playtime much more diverse and cleaning easier.
Powerful Vibrations
The Manta has six speeds and patterns to explore with the three push-button controls, with one being a fun button. The vibrations are pretty strong (much stronger than I was expecting), just like a female vibrator, but nowhere near anything that comes out of the Magic Wand – if you’re familiar with that particular toy.
The intensity range is pretty good, too, from a low rumble at the lower speeds to a strong oomph in vibrations at the top end.
Sleek and easy to handle
Toys made for the penis are often massive and not easy to use with a partner. The Manta brings the sleek, functional, and compact design together to make it perfect for partner sex, as well as solo play and sliding between your bodies for extra stimulation during sex.
I will say that the vibrating wings stretch to a pretty wide size, but if you were super girthy, the vibrations might not have the same effect on you.
Body-safe silicone
Fun Factory uses high-quality, body-safe silicone and ABS plastic. The two wings are super soft and silky to the touch, which feels extra lovely on your dick. Use water-based lube because anything else may ruin the silicone.

How to Use Fun Factory Manta?
The biggest drawcard about the Manta is it’s a penis vibrator designed for couple play. There are many uses, so it’s like having an all-in-one toy.
First and foremost, the Manta is also a great addition to increase pleasure during solo play. With a bit of lube, you can stroke it up and down your shaft or, as I like, hold it at the base of my dick and use my other hand to pump, which makes everything vibrate like crazy.
In addition, I found it fantastic for oral sex. Your partner can hold the Manta at the base of your shaft while giving him a blow job.
Finally, we all know that most ladies need clit stimulation to reach an orgasm and PIV sex often isn’t enough. With the Manta, I’ve added it to the mix as a clitoral vibrator, and my wife has loved it. We’ve enjoyed incredible orgasms using this toy, bringing so much passion and spice into our sex life.
My Personal Experience
I was eager to test out the Manta and see what all the hype was about. I don’t often get recommendations from friends because I’m the one who is usually dishing it out. Anyway, I was ready to get into it with the masturbator fully charged, and I already had a hard-on from just playing with the controls. My anticipation was through the roof – I love that feeling.
Ease Of Use
I lathered the toy up with my favorite lube, as well as my shaft, and turned on the power button. The entire toy vibrated to life with a nice rumble to begin with.
I tried to put it around my dick but quickly learned I must do that before turning the toy on. The wings flicker and vibrate, so it’s too hard to wrap it around your dick turned on. Starting again with the wings wrapped around my dick, I turned on the Manta, and the low rumble felt incredible.
I tried stroking the device up and down my shaft but found it a little awkward. Don’t get me wrong, it still felt amazing, but I quickly figured I liked it best when I had the toy in one spot and used my other hand to stroke my dick. I went through the speeds and patterns, and I was getting harder and harder as I did. I felt like I had one of those random ragers when I was a teenager.
Stimulations
The sensations that Manta produced felt deep and pleasurable, and I couldn’t wait to see what it was like during oral sex.
Lucky for me, my wife was at home, and I said I had a surprise waiting for her in the bedroom. Corney, I know, but my brain doesn’t function well when I have something like the Manta buzzing around my dick. She immediately stripped when she entered the room and saw me with a massive boner and stark naked with the Manta in hand.
Ah, I’m fortunate to have a fantastic wife who has always been down to get dirty with me.
To my delight, her mouth headed straight for my cock. The combination of my wife’s warm, wet mouth on my dick and the Manta sending vibrations from the base of my dick was too much for me. When she started taking control of the speeds and changing the patterns, I quickly exploded in her mouth, and the orgasm was earth-shattering.
My wife also said she enjoyed feeling the vibrations through her mouth while giving me oral sex, so it’s a win-win. Although, my partner wasn’t too happy about how quickly it was all over. That said, like a good man, I went down on her after to get her off and used the Manta on her clit for good measure.
Versatility
We’ve also used it during penetrative sex, and I must say, in this setting, it’s equally a male sex toy as it is a female sex toy. It turns my dick into a vibrator for my lady, who loves it.
We usually use the Manta in the cowgirl position, and I hold it with one of my hands at the base of my dick. Sometimes it’s tricky to get the angle right, but wow, when I do. It feels great that we can get so much out of one toy.

In summary, the Manta is an excellent toy for any guy, whether you’re new to the sex toy scene or consider yourself an expert like me. Thanks to its compact size, unlike many male sex toys, the Manta isn’t intimidating.
The toy is worth it for the price because it’s so versatile, and you can use it in solo play, oral sex, and partner play.
For me, the best thing about the toy is that it’s super quiet in operation and that my partner loves it just as much as I do. If you’re looking for something discreet and simple to use that delivers high-quality orgasms, then the Manta is your baby.
Pros
- Versatile
- High quality
- Charges quickly
- Very quiet
- Fabulous addition for blow jobs
- Couple and solo play
- Waterproof
- Fits all dicks unless you’re crazy girthy
- Magnetic charger
- Travel lock feature
Cons
- No storage bag

- It didn’t come charged
Is It Worth It?
- The Manta is an excellent toy for singles or couples looking to add spice to their love life, an all-all-around toy that you can enjoy in many different positions to get you off.
- Being so quiet in operation, it would be an excellent addition to the sex lives of those living in sharehouses or with kids in the next room. No one will know you’re using it unless they are joining you.
Who Is It Not For?
- As I said before, if you are super girthy, the wings on this bad boy only stretch so far. You could use the Manta still, but the vibrations might not have the full effect as they wouldn’t wrap around your shaft. In saying this, I’m just a regular-sized guy, so I’m not speaking from experience.
- In addition, if you need complete penis stimulation to get off, the Manta is not for you. If that’s the case, I recommend Kiiroo Keon (review here), a male masturbator that fully immerses your dick.
- Finally, the device is on the pricier side (price tag $139.99), so if you’re looking for something more affordable, I recommend Lovense Max 2 (review here) or some other Fun Factory toys.
I am Sold! Where Can I Buy It?
You can buy it at Lovehoney here.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The Manta is fully waterproof, making it easy to clean after use. You must keep your toys clean for hygiene reasons. To clean, I rinse it in warm, soapy water before and after easy use, taking care to get into all the tiny grooves. You can also use a sex toy cleaner instead of soap.
After washing the Manta, I leave it to air dry in a safe place where no one will come knocking. Don’t just leave it in the bathroom. Your kids will wonder what mum and dad’s new toy is, and trust me; you don’t need that stress in your life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who makes the Manta?
The Manta is made by Fun Factory, a German company that has manufactured sex toys for over 20 years.
Is the Manta Waterproof?
Yes, the Manta is water-resistant, so you can use it in the shower or bathtub.
How Do I Store Fun Factory Manta?
Let it air dry after use, and then pop the Manta away in a dedicated sex toy storage. If you didn’t order a bag or storage box, you must find something to put the toy away to keep dust and lint off it, as the silicone is quite tacky and can easily attract dust.
