His and her power ring - cock ring discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Naughty Student

A vibrating cock ring is basically a toy one can add onto their partner's penis or on a toy in order to add a little something extra to the already very enjoyable experience of penetration.

The His and Hers power ring is ideal for beginners who aren't too sure where to start with sex toys. It is a couples toy, it is disposable and it is available at a good price. Trying this toy gives a good idea of how vibrating cock rings work and it will allow the beginner to decide according to their experience what higher quality vibrating ring they would like to invest in.

It is simple and non-intimidating making it a great starter toy.

Everyone is different in terms of their preferences, so starting with this ring is great as it gives one a taste of toys, and from their one can decide if they want something stronger, shaped differently, etc.

The His and Hers ring is made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber). It is phthalates free and hypoallergenic but it is still a porous material and should therefore not be shared with other couples/friends. It has no smell or taste, which is great but even if it did have a slight taste the odds are very low that one would put it in their mouth.

It has a very "grabby" type of texture and could pull on pubic hairs on the male. It is quite the lint magnet so keeping it in a plastic bag (if you keep it for a second round) is best.

The ring is very stretchy and would probably fit most cocks. It popped before I could measure how wide it could stretch so according to the measurements on the product page it stretches out 2 inches. It has more grip than another ring I have. This means that the extra tightness keeps the penis engorged for a little while longer.

This toy is as standard as they come. It maintains the traditional shape most vibrating cock rings have. It has the ring section which contains ridges within the inner portion which goes around the cock. The sleeve section which holds the bullet is shaped like the bullet, in the form of a cylinder but with 28 nubs on its surface to provide a little extra sensation for the female.

The nubs are very soft and flexible, and they are easily felt in use. The sensation the nubs provide are intensified when lube is applied on the clitoris, and the nubs and could become irritating for some.

My partner was very reluctant to try this - cock rings are just not his thing and make him feel ridiculous. We attempted to put it on. Since the toy is sort of sticky lube was necessary to make application easier. My guy is shaved so it didn't pull any pubes but I can imagine it would for a man who does not shave his genitals. He didn't wear it for very long as he didn't particularly enjoy the sensation of having something so snug around his penis.

This ring would probably fit average sized penis, but if you have a thick penis, stay away, the ring is not made to last and will probably rip.

The bullet itself is controlled by a small round control that needs to be pushed to the side to turn the toy on and off. There is only one level of vibration and it is low. In use I had no issues with it turning off on its own and such.

The vibrations are just right to titillate and to arouse, slowly building up towards climax. However, I have found in solo use that the bullet is great at maintaining the arousal state but without going beyond that. It can be quite frustrating and you may have to reach for something more powerful.

With a partner, the bullet vibrations are best felt in positions where the woman's pelvis is close to that of her partner's, such as in missionary. For positions like cowgirl, the vibrations are best felt if the girl leans forward onto her partner.

The bullet, although small, stimulated a wide area and had difficulty hitting the same spot with acute preciseness every thrust. Mostly the vibe stimulated over the clitoral hood and parts of the labia minora. This feels nice but for someone who requires direct clitoral stimulation, this will not do the trick.

The toy comes with the batteries and they are supposed to last 20+ minutes and so far I have used roughly 15 minutes, without decreased intensity (the vibes are pretty low any ways). This toy is disposable but could be used for two very short sessions.

I enjoyed trying this out, my partner not so much. Simply because he finds having a sex toy on his dick not very manly.

I found it slightly stimulating, especially once I added lubricant to the mix. I could feel the nubs rubbing on my vulva and clitoral hood more intensely. I experimented with different angles of the shaft of my toys.

If I tried to reach my g-spot with my very straight dildo, the vibe no longer stimulated the right area. With a curved dildo I had easier to maintain contact with my clit, but there were still some difficulty on keeping it there.

The ring doesn't move much once you put it on, since it is tight enough.

I eventually had to grab something else to bring me to orgasm.

Sadly the ring has ripped right before I started my review and the vibe still had a few minutes in it left so to speak. Although it isn't my favorite toy it worked well at getting me aroused and I am disappointed I won't be able to use it the same way.

I recommend this for an adventurous couple starting with toys, men who like stimulation on their perineum while being pegged or women who want to add a vibrating "rabbit" to their dildo to switch things up.

To me this toy is more about trying something new as a couple, more than something to invest in. It is the door opener. It will open the door to other sexual adventures by providing an experience through which one can attain greater knowledge of their likes or dislikes.
