Basic Essentials Enhancer ring with beads - cock ring by Cal Exotics - review by Colossus

This cock ring is great for sex, or to wear during masturbation. It's stretchy enough to fit pretty much any size, and doesn't really require any skill to use, so anyone can enjoy it. I guess this type of cock ring benefits the wearer more than the receiver, since it doesn't have anything that's going to really designed specifically for the clit, like other vibrating rings that target the clit. However, the beads around the ring provide added stimulation for the entire area. During sex or masturbation, the ring is also great for the wearer. I have found that it can maintain an erection for much longer than without it. It provides additional support, and you probably won't have to worry about going limp with this guy on. I have also found that ejaculation feels much more pleasurable while wearing the ring. What's not to like about that?

The material is made from TPR and is phthalates and latex free, so this is a great product for people who may have sensitive skin. TPR is nice because I find it pretty low-maintenance. You can use both silicone and water based lubes with it (which I have, and they both work great), and it's fairly easy to clean with warm water and toy cleaner/mild soap. The ring itself is extremely stretchy and pliable when compared to other toys I have had. It's also great because it doesn't have a noxious odor to it. It does have a slight scent when you put it right up to your nose, but it's almost like a mild vanilla, and most people probably won't find it noticeable. There are also four beads surrounding the ring which provide additional support and stimulation. They look like they are metal, but it's tough to tell. It doesn't really matter because they are encased in TPR and don't directly come into contact with skin.

I have to admit, I really wasn't sure about the design of this cock ring when looking at it on the website. I can honestly say that the pictures on EF really don't do this product justice at all. For one thing, the actual "ring" portion is much longer than it appears in the pictures. It's actually about an inch long. It's one of the "longest" rings I have seen or used. At first I wasn't sure how this would work out, but I actually really ended up enjoying the length. It provides excellent support.

The four beads have small, pliable spikes on them which extend in both directions about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. This is primarily what's going to provide the most clitoral stimulation. Interspersed between these beads are small spheres of the same TPR material that the ring is made of. Not quite sure what their intended purpose is, I guess it just provides more surface area for contact during intercourse. The ring is extremely stretchy, and will most likely accommodate all penis sizes. It fits loosely on my index finger, to give you an idea of the girth. Sometimes after ejaculation, it can be a little tricky to get off, but you just kinda have to wiggle it off. It is very comfortable to wear, and I've never felt like it pinches too much, which some may have encountered with other cock rings.

I was impressed by the performance of the Basic Essentials Enhancer ring. I was really confused as to what I was getting via the information on the website, but I have been very impressed with it since then. Like I mentioned above, I have used this during masturbation as well as intercourse. I like it best during intercourse. It seems to provide the most clitoral stimulation when it's worn high up on the shaft of the cock (obviously). It has performed well both in missionary position and with her on top. I think it maybe provided the most pleasure for her on top. That being said, this isn't the ring to get if you're looking for the best option for her to amazing clit stimulation. Instead, it mainly stimulates the lips of the vagina and perhaps teases the clit a bit. Still, this adds a new dimension to intercourse. I love this guy and am going to try working into my regular rotation for its ease of use and pleasure it provides both partners.

This toy is easy to care for. Just a little warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner does the job. After a handful of uses, I can see no signs of deterioration. I store it in a room-temperature, dry environment.

The packaging was extremely simple. You can actually see in the pic that EF provides how it is packaged. The packaging seems a little cheap, but for a low-cost toy I guess you can't expect more.
