Meet my new friend Bo! A vibrating cock ring.
Published: March 15, 2009
useful review
The Bo is a rechargeable cock ring that is strong enough to send vibrations through the cock itself. The vibration piece is large enough to stimulate feminine anatomy from many angles.
Pros:
Elegant looking cock ring. Well made, and rechargeable.
Cons:
The cock ring is turned on/off by sliding the vibration piece.
The Bo cock ring is a new cock ring from LELO. It is a "luxury" model cock ring, but I think it is well worth the price. The Bo comes in a lovely box packaged in it's own carrying case. The charging unit is below. I opened it up and immediately wanted to see how it worked. Without thinking, I slid the two pieces together, and played with a vibrating cock ring on my hand. Then I sat there feeling a bit like a fool as I had a vibrating cock ring that I couldn't figure out how to turn off!
The entire top half of the Bo consists of a vibration unit. It is rechargeable, but it came with an initial charge to it! The vibrations are activated by sliding the two pieces together. Mine initially offered some resistance to sliding, which is why I had some trouble getting it turned off again. I couldn't figure out which way to slide it off. On the other hand, this toy will not turn off by accidental touch! (You slide toward the "O" in Lelo.) After several uses, there is no difficulty with it sliding and is easy to turn on and off. The Bo can be charged in its case which keeps it both discreet and clean. It does "glow" though which amused me..
Most cheaper cock rings have a number of different draw backs. The Bo is made of TPE which can't be sterilized, but is strong, flexible and relatively safe material. The ring can stretch easily over both the cock and balls and returns easily to it's natural shape. When over the cock and balls, it does tighten enough that it enhances a erection.
The vibrations are strong and quiet. When held in my hand it reminded me of hand held back massager. When on my husband's cock, it was strong enough to send gentle vibrations through his entire cock. I loved the feeling! However, we put the cock ring on as part of foreplay and twice it brushed up against my thigh. I'm not sure what was going on here because the vibrations are not that strong, but I absolutely did not like it touching my thigh.
During sex the vibrations were able to reach my clit in different ways. Depending on position, I've felt mild vibrations through his cock or direct stimulation with the Bo. The Bo may not always be angled correctly though. Once the Bo was at a particular angle so that I felt that the top of the Bo was "poking."
After receiving this, I've charged it once. The charge has lasted over a month and been several times. We have yet to notice that it needs charging. I find this a improvement over watch batteries that are hard to use, don't work or are unreliable!

Experience
I've tried many cock rings. I think that I've decided that the Bo actually is my favorite. It's safe, the vibrations are strong, but pleasant on the clit. It actually can be tight around a man's cock and balls, and it looks good.
Follow-up commentary

What is it with men sometimes? I truly loved this and wanted to see it again. I wanted to feel it again. It seems to have completely disappeared, like so many of the things from Eden. *Irritation sets in...* This a fantastic toy and I want it back!

Is the BO really wonderful?
-
DBDI've heard a lot of people loving and wanting the BO. I just got mine. Haven't played with it extensively yet or with my partner, but I have some general issues with it. So far, I'm definitely disappointed in a product from Lelo at this price. Any one else feel the same? I'll review it when the time is right! -
Adriana RavenlustWell, I do know some people have had mixed experiences which whether or not it actually stimulates/reaches the clit. Heh -
EpiphoraWhat do you mean, "I'm definitely disappointed in a product from Lelo at this price"? It's cheaper than most of Lelo's other products...
what are your issues with it?

This ring sounds pretty kick ass! I have been meaning to check out a vibrating ring for a while now, as I've never used one before. The first time I saw the picture of this particular ring, my impression was that it was very stiff like plastic. Knowing that it is flexible and not plastic definitely makes it seem more appealing, especially since it is rechargeable. I will have to add this one to my long list of items I need to buy, maybe near the top. Thanks for the review!
We don't even use cock rings and I want one of these!
I'm glad you wound up liking it. If I ever find myself with the desire to use a cock ring again, I'll certainly try this one.
Morning everyone! Eden does well to publish between a Saturday night and Sunday morning!
I do like this ring. The vibration piece is the only piece that is stiff and plastic. The ring piece is flexible, but not as flexible as jelly. I like the material for a cock ring. It stretches easily, but holds tightly. It also shows every sign of actually lasting!
I would recommend this ring over ever vibrating ring that I've tried. I'm not completely sure about the slide on/slide off design though!
That's a great charge on the batteries! It does sound like a good ring.
Sounds pretty good! Shame it is so much money.
I don't have a cock and I want this one
I love that it's rechargeable. how difficult is cleaning this without damaging the vibration unit?
Lauren - Some things may be worth the money. The only other cock rings that I've seen in this price range are the solid ring type - usually metal, but also stone. The vibrations, and ability to charge are the best I've seen.
Saurou - We didn't test this with any lube, but the two pieces fit together well so I don't see that you would get any lube in the vibration piece. The ring part should be a snap to clean with soap and water or toy cleaner once it's separated from the vibration unit. The vibration unit should be fairly easy to wipe down as it's hard plastic. I don't see too much trouble as long as you protect the contacts on the vibration unit itself.
Thanks for your review. Makes me want to use it to turn a dildo into a vibrator.
I've thought about that! I've tried it with other cock rings, and never quite enjoyed it though. This one could be the winner - who knows.
From your comment on the forums I really expected a negative review, I'm glad to see it worked out for you in the end. LELO is a wonderful manufacturer and I love to hear positive experiences about their toys.
We've never used a cock ring...might have to try this one it sunds fun!
Sleeping dreamer - Yep, It just seemed to stick initially, but it works well.
Airen, I've reviewed a number of cock rings. I like this one the best as vibrating. There is one made of pure silicone that I also enjoy.
