NPG Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu (ZXY) Onahole
A legendary dual-layer onahole that remains the gold standard for beginners despite durability issues.
Onahole Review
After using countless onaholes over the years, I keep coming back to the NPG Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu, and there's a damn good reason why this decade-old design is still recommended as the go-to first onahole for beginners. Despite being manufactured around 2013, it continues to deliver an experience that's hard to match.
The moment you first use this onahole, you'll understand why it's earned legendary status. The dual-layer construction creates one of the most intense sensations I've ever experienced from NPG, striking that perfect sweet spot between stimulation and comfort. It's firm enough to provide substantial feedback while maintaining just enough softness to feel natural. This balance is what makes it ideal for newcomers who might be overwhelmed by ultra-soft options or put off by overly firm alternatives.
The internal texture is absolutely phenomenal – it's easily one of the most stimulating designs NPG has ever produced. The complex ridges and chambers work together to create waves of sensation that build progressively. Veterans will appreciate the reliable consistency, while beginners will discover what all the fuss is about regarding premium onaholes.
However, this classic design comes with some notable drawbacks. The manufacturing style from 2013 features a more slit-like opening rather than the circular holes found on modern triple-layer models. While this might look more realistic, it's a structural weakness that encourages tearing. I've personally gone through three of these units, and durability is definitely the biggest concern. Modern NPG triple-layer designs have clearly learned from these issues.
Cleaning can be somewhat challenging due to that slit-style opening, though it's manageable with proper care and drying. The narrower access makes thorough cleaning require a bit more effort compared to newer designs with straight-through holes.
Despite the durability concerns, at $50, this onahole delivers exceptional value. The sensation quality easily rivals products costing twice as much, and the experience is memorable enough that many users, myself included, keep repurchasing despite knowing it won't last as long as we'd like.
For anyone considering their first onahole purchase or veterans wanting a reliably satisfying option, the Zhang Xiao Yu remains an excellent choice. Just budget for eventual replacement and enjoy what might be the most perfectly balanced introduction to premium onaholes available.
