Release the Kraken! If you’re looking for a portable male masturbator, the lovense’s Kraken may be ideal! Lovense actually has quite a few male masturbation toys.
Why should a man’s masturbation session be just Rosy Palms and some lotion? I’m glad there are other options for men who don’t want a boring masturbation session.
With that said, I am a woman with a vagina. However, my boyfriend tried it, and he gave his thoughts. Spoiler: he thinks it’s great.
I’m here to tell you what the Kraken is, its features, and what my boyfriend said. This way, you can make a more informed decision!

What is the Lovense Kraken?
The Lovense Kraken is a portable male masturbator. When you think of the Kraken, you think of a gigantic sea monster. Ironically, the Kraken is quite small.
The size makes it great for traveling. Also, the Kraken can stretch up to nearly 8 inches, satisfying most men and penis havers!
I should mention that the Kraken is also a disposable male masturbator. These masturbators have become popular in recent years with the Tenga Eggs.
You use them once, then dispose of them.
While investing in a more expensive but reusable male masturbator makes more sense, there are many logical reasons to use a temporary one.
For example, you may be curious about the world of male masturbators.
Spending $5 on a disposable one can give you a taste without spending too much money.
Disposable masturbators make cleanup less of a hassle, too. Another reason is that these masturbators work well for travel.
You can keep your larger, more expensive, less discreet masturbator at home!
Features and Benefits of the Kraken
Six Internal Textures to Choose From
Inside the Kraken is a unique, nautical-based texture that will get your man off! The Submerge texture has suckered tentacles.
The Tidal texture invokes the motion of the ocean. The Voyage consists of many ship parts, taking your penis on a ride!
The Harpoon design works great for thrusters. The Whirlpool has many twists and turns to it. Finally, the Riptide is a bumpy, but pleasurable voyage.
Each texture also looks amazing, too.
While you probably don’t care about the design inside of a male masturbator, each one feels like a work of art. Personally, both of us think that’s cool.
Select from a One or Six-Pack
As mentioned, the Kraken has six textures. You can choose from one of these textures, or buy the 6-pack to get them all.
The six-pack works well if you want to try them all and if you want several disposable toys to work with during a long travel session.
Soft Material
The Kraken consists of TPE that is soft and gentle on the shaft. While soft, the many textures add excitement to your masturbation session!
Despite being soft, it stays firmly on your cock and gets the job done.
Stretches
While small, the Kraken can stretch up to 20cm, or 7.9 inches. This size works well for most penises, though those in the bigger department may need, well, something bigger.
Personally, it was fun watching the toy go from small to gigantic. It almost looks like the toy will snap, but it doesn’t.
Non-Slip Grip
Have you ever used a male masturbator and it slips off? It always loves to do it right before the climax, too!
By the time you find your masturbator, you’re already feeling soft. No blue-balls with the Kraken!
Its non-slip surface ensures that it stays on your penis, even when the action is getting intense.
Egg Shell for Storage
The Kraken comes in an egg storage case. This case is discreet and small enough to carry in your pocket and not take up too much space in the bag.
The egg case also protects the Kraken against any germs or other nasties. When you’re ready to dispose of the Kraken, just pop the toy back in the eggshell and throw it away.
One-Use
This masturbator is designed to be a one-and-done. Some users have cleaned it off with water and used it again, but the quality degrades quickly.
Therefore, this toy may be great for travel, but if you want a dedicated male masturbator, you may want something else.
Just like the Tenga Egg, it can be used for traveling or for learning how male masturbators work.
No Batteries Required
Not really a feature, but considering the brand, this feature is unique. Most Lovense toys are vibrators with Bluetooth connections, an app, and various ways to customize your experience.
But the Kraken requires no batteries and is all manual. Don’t get me wrong, I love the customization of their Bluetooth toys.
But sometimes, you just want to keep things simple.
Pros
- Six unique textures to choose from.
- Small, but stretchy.
- Ease to store and discreet.
- Affordable if you want a fun, quick masturbation session.
Cons
- Not good if you want a long-term male masturbator.
- Not recyclable and has lots of plastic. Environmentally conscious users may want to look somewhere else.
What is The Design & Build Quality Like?
This male masturbator is small and one-time use, so we weren’t expecting the greatest design quality.
But this one delivered!
The internal textures are very detailed. The Kraken stretches just like you expect it to. The egg itself was easy to pop open and close.
Overall, we have no complaints in this department. With that said, this toy is a one-time use.
So if you start to see the toy tearing apart when you use it, that is normal.
My Boyfriend’s Opinion on The Kraken
So, what does my boyfriend think about the Kraken? In case you don’t know, he’s experienced with male masturbators.
Both he and I believe that there should be no stigma for a man using one of these toys, either by himself or with his partner.
He’s tried cheap male masturbators, luxury ones with many vibration settings, and everything in-between.
He bought the six-pack so he could get a feel for all the textures. According to him, each texture gave his shaft and tip a unique experience.
His favorite is the submerge because he loves the suckers. There was no texture he disliked.
My boyfriend is seven inches, and the stretchiness of the Kraken delivered. He had no issues masturbating with it or losing grip.
It was easy for him to go slow when he wanted to, or have a quickie if he wanted to get the edge off.
He also had no issues taking it out of its egg and putting it back in. That said, he was disappointed to know this was a one-time use toy.
He did try to use each masturbator multiple times, but the degradation was already noticeable.
He said he would kill for a multiple-use version of the Kraken. He was tempted to buy another pack, but I had to stop him.
Budgeting is important in this household!
I should also give my experience. Obviously, I have no personal use for this, but we do like to take turns using the masturbator on his penis.
When I jacked it off, I found the material to be soft and it perfectly conformed to the shape of his penis.
I did feel the textures inside and was impressed by how detailed they were. Not gonna lie, I almost felt a little jealous.
What’s in the Box?
Since the Kraken is a small male masturbator that doesn’t need any batteries, the box isn’t anything too exciting! But it does come with some stuff to get you started!
Besides the Kraken stroker itself, the box contains a protective egg that you can use to store the masturbator. This can keep the Kraken clean and safe during storage or traveling.
Also, the Kraken box includes a small pack of lube. This pack works well if you’re traveling and don’t want to bring the entire bottle with you.
The lube itself is a generic water-based lube that works well. My boyfriend isn’t too picky on lube himself as long as it gets the job done.
Now, let me talk about the outside packaging. When the toy is shipped to you, it comes in a discreet brown box. I love this!
While me and my boyfriend don’t mind each other ordering sex toys, it can be awkward for others.
For instance, I imagine someone living with their mom probably doesn’t want her to know they ordered a dildo!
As long as you don’t have a true busybody who opens packages without permission, it’s discreet.
How Much Does it Cost?
The cost ultimately depends on where you’re buying it from and what sales are going on.
On Lovense’s website, the six-pack is currently going for $30. It usually goes for $60, so that’s a good deal!
The total costs may also depend on shipping and taxes. If you just need one masturbator, the one-pack is going for $5 when it usually goes for $10.
While cheap, please note that this is a disposable masturbator. If you plan on masturbating a lot and using these toys, the costs can add up pretty quickly!
Therefore, I recommend investing in a multiple-use masturbator if you wish to save money.
Lovense Kraken VS Tenga Eggs
When it comes to disposable male masturbators, one of the biggest rivals to the Kraken is the Tenga Egg.
Both Tenga Eggs and the Kraken lineup are similar. They’re egg-shaped, with many internal textures to choose from. You can buy them individually, or in a pack.
Price-wise, they’re about the same, too.
The major difference is the internal textures and design. The Kraken is nautical-themed, while the Tenga eggs have generic patterns.
The choice in this department ultimately depends on one’s preferred aesthetics and textures. Some users say the Kraken has a better thickness and is more durable.
While both are meant to be disposable, some users had more than one masturbation session with an individual Kraken.
Though, you probably want to buy a reusable male masturbator if you want something to use more than once! That said, they aren’t too different from each other.
Because these toys are so cheap, I recommend buying a pack of Krakens and a pack of Tenga eggs.
Then, decide which among them you prefer. Since each toy has a unique texture, you may be a fence sitter and love them all!
