Love me tender rings - ring set discontinued by NS Novelties - review by gwenevieve

The Love Me Tender rings are a holiday themed, two-piece cock ring set manufactured by NS Novelties. They are made to go around a man's shaft, balls, or both to provide more sensation and prolong his big-bang, allowing more time to play around. Unstretched, they are 1/2" large and they come packaged in a small, cardboard box with a see-through panel in the back. This set could be used by both beginners and more advanced users alike, although if you are extremely into toys, you will probably prefer something made of a more sanitary and durable material rather than these.

Upon opening the package, I noticed no smell. However, if you put these right up against your nose, a faint chemical smell can be detected, which is extremely common with TPR toys. The rings have a safety rating of 7 on EdenFantasys, which means they are decent, but they definitely should not be shared. These are hypo-allergenic, latex-free and Phthalates free. They have a stretched diameter of around 3", which makes these wintery rings pretty durable and good for users of many sizes. They are slightly textured, but I wouldn't say it really contributes anything but looks to the rings. TPR is guilty of having a bit of drag, so it would be advised to use some quality, water-based lubricant when giving either of these a go.

There's nothing special about these c-rings: you get what you get. They're extremely stretchy, and can fit users of almost any size. The textures are akin to a snowflake and a flower, but really don't provide any meaningful stimulation for the wearer or anyone else. The toy adjusts easily to many sizes by simply stretching it out with your hand and then easing it over the wearer- make sure to be easy and not to snap it in place, which will cause much discomfort! Also, like all cock rings, make sure to give yourself a rest after about 30 minutes of play. Because cock-rings directly affect blood flow, it's not a good idea to keep yourself strapped up for too long.

These are easy to clean and even easier to store. Personally, I just keep them in the same box they came in, minus the clam-shell packaging. Using warm water and unscented soap, wipe these down or give them a slight soak in the sink. Toy cleaner would also be acceptable to use on these. However, stay away from boiling water and the dishwasher, as these are made of the cheap TPR material and could easily be melted. Due to the fact that TPR cannot be completely sterilized, it's also a good idea to keep these away from others and use them for personal use only, to avoid spreading germs and disease.
