I have trouble telling what's going on in a lot of Tamatoys' holes, and am on the lookout for ones with a more defined feel. In comes Black-Haired Elf-Chan, a character design by the illustrator Shino, now with her own ASMR CD and collab onahole tie-in. The concept of a modern gyaru elf seemed interesting, and Tamatoys onas were on sale, so I picked this one up, loaded up the CD, and went to town.

I don't know what the inside of an elf is supposed to feel like, but I like it.

Unlike the random squishy jumbles of meat I've come to expect, this is a classic fold-type ona. The thin, wavy folds feature different patterns on each side - one side more vertical, the other U-shaped. They lead into the back half, which takes on a horizontal fold structure. The narrow opening and firm-ish material work so well for this pattern. It feels fantastical, but snug and welcoming. You can flip it around for a different kind of stimulation on another part of your junk, though I'd personally prefer one or the other all around.

I'll note that the thin folds are a tiny bit "pointy" at the ends, and I like this more with a medium or thicker lube. Maybe with use, the edges will wear down and soften. Either way, they should make more onaholes with this kind of firmness and tightness. I'm back on the Tamatoys train.

The Inner Loop stick inside of this looked interesting, and I knew I had to try it one day. That day has come.

Unlike some of Ride Japan's other Hard onaholes, this one is a tiny bit softer and more flexible. The entrance hole is also wider, so you don't have to be at 100 percent from the get-go. The long stick feels great the first time you bump into and past it; the sensation changes depending on the length of each stroke and how the toy is rotated. Caught between the stick and the wall, it's not chokingly tight, but close enough for the unique tingle of the Virgin Loop's fine ribs to be felt all over. The stick here is much more prominent than the one in the Longitudinal Fold Spiral Plus.

The ribs are very stimulating, bordering on sharp, so a thicker lube will work well for most. Cleaning is easy and it can be flipped over safely with how durable the hard material is. If you've tried a Virgin Loop before and want something different, give this a try. Otherwise I'd point you to something softer like Ona Cannon Soft or Darrin Seven, as those are stimulating enough already.

I've tried a couple of G-19 holes before, and none of them quite had what I was looking for. The G-19 Alpha is like a middle child — not a classic like the original, not the new hotness with the Reality now out. But it does something unique, that I haven't seen repeated yet: a firm pipe ring for a guaranteed uterine "breakthrough" feeling.

The material for this feels good, a single layer of Toys Heart's classic firm Fine Cross. It feels more elastic this time around. The first half is a horizontal fold structure. The way the folds have varied depths makes it honestly my favorite thing about the Alpha, more than the pipe itself. The pipe tightens the head well, and it feels relieving to pass through to the other side. It is just the tiniest bit too far back, though, making it more of a decision to squeeze through than I expected. The back part has a wart structure, but after the tight stimulating pipe, it's hard to notice.

Once finished, it's easy to clean. It's sturdy and lacks the double layer structure that the Bordeaux has separation problems with. Getting all of the air out for a vacuum effect has been less easy than usual due to the pipe creating air pockets, though.

More companies should experiment with tightening gimmicks like this. Heck, if I could get an ona that's just the front part of this, I'd be happy, too.

The Seventeen Bordeaux Soft is back, having evolved with a fresh new look and a name that won't get you stopped at customs. Turns out the competition has evolved over the past decade, too.

The internal structure was promising, with a wavy, mini wart-lined tunnel and a little cervix. Pushing the air out lets the walls close in: enough to feel the waves, but at this softness, not enough to feel the warts very clearly. The cervix doesn't give much suction, but it does stick to and stimulate your tip a little bit, and has a nice pop if you thrust in.. Still, I couldn't help but feel more underwhelmed than relaxed.

Maybe it's me. This hole was much softer than I expected, dampening the feeling of the inside. If medium hardness isn't too much for you, I'd recommend the standard G-19 Bordeaux. If you're looking for a moderately soft hole, take a look at Toys Heart's newer products made with Soft Material, like Lusty Hot Spring 3 or Sheep Maid Mochi Soft, or the Level 99 series.

Cleaning is easy, but I've seen stories of the two layers separating far too many times to advise flipping this inside out. Just be sure it's dry inside and around the cervix when you store it.

The R-20 series has been around for a while now, but the Fourth version is easier to find outside of Japan than inside. Lucky us.

I tried another Toys Heart ona made with Hitohada material and knew I had to try again. Good thing I did, because it feels amazing, velvet smooth as ever. Just be sure to wash it thoroughly before using it - it's got a lot of powder all over it out of the box.

Is easy to enter, and right away there are some stimulating triangular bumps. The edges don't have much give, so you'll feel those more than anything else in this section. Like being grabbed with someone's fingertips rather than their whole hand. I wonder if a round or softer wart would be more comfortable. I was unsure what the little indent on the outside was for. It's not a design quirk, but to mark where to squeeze out the air from the back chamber for more suction. And what a suck it has. It has a strong vacuum, making those bumps near the base hold on tight. That tightness is heightened by two very narrow zones at the middle and end. Compared to the Alchemist's Atelier, this has less suction, but a more distinct, almost "bumpy" feeling.

As the standard version of the R-20 Fourth, this is rather hard. A tad firmer than the Fine Cross material of other Toys Heart onas. The base has a groove to hold some extra lube, so the problem of drying out mid-use doesn't occur here. I prefer it over G-19 Reality for this reason alone. It can be flipped over (I did for this photo so you don't have to), but I don't know how well it will stand up to that much stretching. Safer to clean it normally, taking extra care to dry it completely before putting it away.

If you haven't tried a harder hole before, this is a good pick. It's not a bully, but it is stimulating. Those who prefer comfort or a bit of give can try the Soft version - or try both and tell us how they are. If you're a long lad, go with the original R-20, unless a 127mm depth is okay with you. Personally it's a bit stimulating to use daily, but it's worth keeping around.
