BongO ring - cock ring discontinued by The Screaming O - review by wetone123

The BongO Ring is a cock ring, made to enhance the male erection. I chose this ring in anticipation of, you know, finding a partner for sex. It seemed to be perfect as a beginners ring, as it stretches really good, it features vibrations, and it is waterproof. Very unintimidating to a beginner; while having lots of function. It is also really pretty. I know that won't mean much to most men, but me being a woman, I found it attractive. It almost looked like glass in the pictures of it. And the little golden ball adds a touch of class to it. This cock ring is a perfect beginning for couples to explore the option of having a cock ring in use while having sex.

And so, the day came. Little did I know that this particular day; I would be engaging in a sex act- not just with a toy and I mind you; but with a real live man! I have known this man for ages, but sex was not in our agenda. We are practically like brother and sister, as we have a very strong friendship. He is also one of the few people in my life who knows about my life on Eden. Well one thing led to another and I wound up bringing this cock ring out for his inspection. He confided that he had never used one, and I have never had any experience with them either. We looked at each other with raised eyebrows, me holding the ring between us, and burst out laughing. We both agreed that maybe it was time we branched out in this relationship to include a little enjoyable, meaningless sex. And so, we did.

As I lubed him up and placed it on him, he was wide eyed with anticipation. As I explained that there would be vibrations he looked almost boyish and shy. I showed him the control button at the top and he pressed it. His mouth fell open in surprise. He said: I like this. I said: I'm glad. We both smiled. I won't go into the whole scenario, I'm here to talk about the BongO Ring afterall...

While Eden has The BongO Ring listed as being made of jelly, the package clearly states that it is made of soft non-toxic silicone. The texture is smooth and pliable and very stretchy. There are some strategic nubs located in front of the bullet, shaped as a star, with 1 large nub in the middle and 2 smaller nubs on each of the 5 star arms. There are also 2 wavy textures covering the bullet. Inside the ring are 6 bar like textures to hold the ring firmly onto the penis without it moving around too much during play. All of these textures are very subtle and soft. There is a golden ball hanging below the ring that will bang your gong along with your movements. It is thinly coated in silicone, so the banging of the gong feels very soft.

The length of the BongO Ring is 4 3/4". The top portion which features the bullet makes up 1 1/4" of this. The ring itself comes next and is heart shaped. Its diameter is 1/2". Unstretched it measures 1 3/4" long and 1 3/4" wide on the outside of ring, 3/4" wide on the inside of ring. It can be stretched out to 3" wide and 3" long, so it will fit many sizes. It fit my friend quite snugly and securely without being too overly tight feeling. The small rope of silicone holding the golden ball is 1" long and the ball itself is 3/4" long and 2" in circumference.

The vibrations of the BongO are quiet strong and buzzy. I rate the vrooms I felt to be a 3. However my friend rated the vibration he felt to be a 2 in vrooms. The bee factor is very quiet at 1 vroom.

Silicone is very easy to clean with hot water and anti-bacterial soap, or a wipe down of a 10% solution of bleach, or isopropyl alcohol. I do not recommend boiling this one as the material is so very thin.
A water based lube is recommended.

BongO uses and is equipped with an #AG-10 battery. The package states that this battery may be replaced. And yes, I found you CAN peel the thin silicone back from it to remove the bullet. I opened the bullet and found 2 watch type batteries in there. I had originally thought it was disposable.

While in use I felt the vibrations on my clit during the inward thrust, but not the outward thrust; so I encouraged him to make shorter smaller thrusts so I could feel it full time. While this worked, it was hard for him to stick to this routine, and the long, deep thrusts resumed. I did not complain. It felt too good!

Afterward, he stated that the ring seemed to have given him more stamina and indeed he was still hard after cumming. As I wanted a shower, he followed, and we had sex in the shower with the ring. It passed the waterproof test with flying colors.

He really liked the constant vibration he felt on his penis, and I enjoyed the vibrations on my clit.
Neither of us really felt the golden ball swinging, or maybe we weren't paying that feature enough attention. Oh well.

He said: I really enjoyed that! Do they have other rings and such for men?
I said: Yes, they do.
He said: I am available if you need me for another one of your toy reviews.
I said: I'll let you know.

The BongO Ring has no offensive smell, being made of silicone. It felt exceptionally smooth and seamless, excepting the textures mentioned above. It is very stretchy and will fit all but the most well endowed men. The textures were very subtle and were not noticeable during use. The ring had a very stimulating effect on my friends penis the whole time he wore it, and he enjoyed it very much. While I was stimulated by the vibrations some of the time.

The design and shape was very attractive to my eyes. The clear shiny silicone looks almost like glass, until you touch it. The ring itself is shaped like a heart, which is romantic. The swinging golden ball gives it a touch of class as well.
The BongO ring was very easy for me to put onto his hard penis. He had no trouble whatsoever taking it off afterwards. He said it was very comfortable to wear and did not strangle his penis as he had originally thought it would. It would have fit around his testicles, but being a beginner at this he said he was not quite ready for that. Maybe next time.
