Intense ring - cock ring discontinued by Dorcel - review by Allison.Wilder

Intense Ring by Dorcel is a cock ring with an anal stimulator. It's a great toy for couples of any gender that are just beginning to use cock rings or more advanced users that have been using cock rings for a while! It's a bit of a challenge to use this toy individually, but it absolutely can be done with any decent sized dildo, so long as it's not too floppy.

The cock ring can also be turned around and used as a clitoral stimulator. It doesn't vibrate, but when being repeatedly pressed up against the clitoris during sex can be extremely pleasurable.

Intense Ring is made entirely of a smooth, grayish-black silicone material. There are no visible seams, bumps, lumps or raised ridges on this ring. It is completely odorless when held directly under the nose and tasteless when licked. The material is flexible, but not really stretchy. It's able to be pulled slightly in any direction to fit over the shaft and balls comfortably, but when released it goes immediately back to its original form.

Because the Intense Ring is made of silicone and is non-porous it earns itself a 10 out of 10 on Eden's Material Safety Scale. Other safety features are that this ring is made of food-grade material, it's hypo-allergenic, latex-free and phthalates-free. Eden's Material Guide - Silicone

My partner explained the smooth texture to feel velvety against his shaft and balls but said that the texture itself wasn't stimulating. He said it didn't feel sticky to the touch and didn't leave him feeling like he had a sticky residue anywhere on him after use. He also mentioned that it didn't pull his pubic hair at all.

Intense Ring is 2 inches in diameter from inside edge to inside edge, 2 1/2 inches in diameter from outside edge to outside edge and 6 inches in circumference along the inside edge. It's quite large for just an average sized penis but fits snugly and comfortably when placed around the balls as well. It's easy to slide on and off just the shaft of the penis, but significantly more difficult to squeeze around the balls. With moderate effort it can be done and is comfortable to wear.

The anal stimulator easily reaches the anus of the person not wearing the ring. While it is far more difficult to position for the individual wearing the ring, it certainly can be done if you so desire.

While this ring doesn't vibrate or do anything mechanically, it does feature a 2 inch long by 1 inch wide nub that works as an anal stimulator. Once the ring is securely in place, the nub can be pressed against the anus for extra sensation and intense pleasure.

Once you figure out how to put this ring on and place it well, it's very easy to use. It took my partner and I a few tries to figure out just how to use it and realized we could use it any way we pleased. We've since used it as an anal stimulator for him, an anal stimulator for me and briefly as a clitoral stimulator for me. With a little creativity, there's a world of fun to be had with this toy.

Silicone is not at all porous making it the easiest material to clean. It can be sterilized by boiling it for 3 minutes and it is top-rack dishwasher safe. It can also be cleaned with just a wipe down with an isopropyl rubbing alcohol wipe or with anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Once the Intense Ring is cleaned, let it air dry or wipe dry with a lint-free cloth or towel as it picks up lint and fuzz easily.

After Intense Ring has been cleaned and dried, store it in a cool, dry place separate from other toys so as not to accidentally dye anything a different color.

This toy is extremely easy to care for. I toss mine in the dishwasher, run it, let it air dry on the counter and then set it in my toy box until I'm ready to use it next. As a rule, I always wipe down my silicone toys with a wipe before use because they pick up fuzz so easily.

Intense Ring comes placed on a piece of white cardboard with a fitted piece of clear plastic covering the ring. There is no mistaking what's inside this package, so if discretion is a must, open this alone. The plastic piece is able to be pulled off pretty easily and the ring comes off the cardboard with the plastic. It's packaged with what looks like instructions at first glance, but it's really just an insert stating what the product is and what it features. There were no care or maintenance instructions included. Because the package is useless after the plastic cover is off, it can't be used to store anything after it's been opened.




Both pieces of the packaging are recyclable, so discard accordingly.

This toy is easily used and enjoyed by anyone, but be sure that if you're sharing this toy with a partner to sterilize between use as it's impossible to shield it from bacteria, bodily fluids, sexually transmitted infections or anything else with a condom or toy cover.

My experience with Intense Ring is that of a beginner. Neither myself nor my partner had ever used a cock ring before and were completely baffled with how to use this thing once it arrived. We eventually just tried everything. We used it just on his penis at the base, but it was much too large to stay put, but when held we were able to stimulate my clitoris with it nicely. When he squeezed his balls into this ring, he was able to stimulate his anus with moderate difficulty. This didn't last long as we've found that the best way to use this was for him to put it on and stimulate my anus with it.

We eventually intend to graduate to other types of cock rings, but for now this little gem is all that we need.
