Pirates Janine's pleasure ring - cock ring discontinued by Digital Playground - review by mistressg

This product is a very basic, vibrating cockring. It is good for both beginners and those used to vibrating rings and couples toys. I have gotten many cockrings in the past and found fault with them, most often because the vibrations were not strong enough. Other issues I have found were that the ring slipped around and did not stay in place to provide clitoral stimulation, which can definitely be frustrating. With some of them, the material just felt cheap to me. This one seems nice, and I had heard a lot of good things. Plus, I just like the design! I think the all-black look is very sleek. That aside, with my experiences with cockrings in the past, I think this would be good for someone like myself who has seen many of them and been disappointed for the most part because they just weren't enough. This has texture, SETTINGS (which is really helpful), and strong vibrations! With this ring, if you are a beginner, you can start out low, and change the settings as you and your partner get comfortable with it.

This ring is designed for couples, but I intend to use the bullet on my own, and I suppose the ring and bullet could be put over a dildo if you wanted to do that too.

The bullet is plastic, but it is very smooth. Velvety soft, as the back of the box says. It has a slight seam down either side of it, but it cannot really be felt, and is only visible if you look closely. The ring is TPE, and is VERY stretchy. I notice that the ring is almost sticky, lint sticks to it. It is all phthalate-free, which is a great thing, and it is latex-free also. It's made of food-grade material, and is hypo-allergenic. It can be used with silicone or water-based lubricants, which is also a nice thing. The bullet has no noticeable odor, but the ring has a light almost waxy smell that is is not noticeable unless it is directly under your nose. Both the bullet and the ring are pretty textured. The bullet has a raised pirate-y design on all sides, from what I see I can make out skulls and some sort of ornate pattern. The ring has a lot of texture! One side has some short nubs, which would be fun for stimulation. The other side features the skull face wearing a hat, which could also make for some great stimulation.

As I had mentioned, the ring it is really stretchy and should be able to fit over any shaft. It would certainly fit any average sized penis, or even a remarkably large penis since it is so stretchy. To give you an idea, I can pull it up over my bicep, and then it just feels slightly snug (so it would probably just work as an erection enhancer if you are really girthy). So even if you or your partner are really large, this should fit them well. It could also fit around the shaft and testicles if that's how you like to wear it, though my partner and I prefer it around the base of the shaft.

I really like the pattern and color of this particular design. I notice that the bullet is similar to the Pirates Pendant Vibe. I don't see why that bullet could not be used with this ring, if you own it and wish to do that. I do like that the pendant vibe is offered in 4 different colors, but black is not one of them, and this bullet is. It appears to have the exact same design as all of the pendant vibes, but it is not shiny/metallic. It is really smooth and has a likeable silky texture, even though it is hard plastic.

I love this bullet, because of all of it's functions! It has 6 vibration settings, which I was happy about since I am used to bullets with a dial that you turn that vibrate higher or lower (and the highest is never high enough). This has one button that you press, no dial, and it is very easy to use.

The bullet takes 3 watch batteries. The batteries have "L1131" labeled on them. I looked it up, and found that they are apparently equivalent to LR1130 which you can by right here on EdenFantasys. I have some LR44's lying around that I got to replace other bullet batteries, but I plan to get a few packs of these to stock up!

This toy attracts lint, so you may want to keep the box it came in to store it? But personally, I just plan on keeping it in a storage bag. It is pretty small, so it should be easy to store. You even separate them if you wanted to and keep the bullet in an area with other vibes or bullets. The bullet should be a lot easier to store than the ring. I say this because I would not store the ring on top of other toys because of the stretchy TPE material. I'm not 100% sure if it would happen, but I wouldn't want it to affect another toy and melt or be melted. I have heard a lot about TPE not going well when stored with other toys. You can check out a brief forum discussion about it here. Both components could be cleaned with soap and water, or some toy cleaner or wipes, so it is easy to clean which is convenient.

Here is a photo of the front of the package, and here is the back. The packaging isn't discreet at all, you can see right through the clear plastic. Not to mention, it says "pleasure ring" on the front and back. I do like that the back mentions that it is "multi speed, splash proof, velvety soft, phthalate free".

The packaging is very easy to open, just pull the top tab, and take out the bullet/ring. There are no instructions included, but they are not really needed.

My partner really liked it. He said that he could tell that it was better than the one other ring he'd used with me (which had been his first experience with any sort of cockring). Although he enjoyed that first one at the time, especially with having never tried one before, he said this one was way better. He said the main thing was that he could feel the vibrations more and they were stronger and felt nice. So that was good news! Also, he said that even just feeling around the material in the dark, it felt like it was a better quality material than the first ring he'd tried.

For me, this ring was the best I've ever tried! Aesthetically, it is great and sleek and cool looking, but it's also a worthy investment if you're looking for a vibrating ring. I have tried different sorts of vibrating rings, all different brands and designs, but this one is my favorite of them all. Multiple vibration settings, fits well, doesn't slide around when using it, and it has the two sides which both seem fun. We haven't used the nubbed side yet, but I think I would like the skull-y side more anyway. It felt really nice when we were using it, and I was on top of him grinding against it. No regrets with this ring! We were both really satisfied with it, me being more experience with them and him being a beginner.
