Matrix vibrating cock enhancer - cock and balls device discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Mistress Mandy

The Matrix Vibrating Cock Enhancer is your basic vibrating cock ring. It is designed to provide harder, longer lasting erections as well as stronger, more satisfying orgasms for the wearer while the included bullet vibrator offers more stimulation for the partner as well. The simple design of the cock ring makes it extremely easy to use but also creates a few problems. The rings don't offer a very tight fit, unless you happen to be very large, and since the bullet is not encased in anything to offer padding it can be uncomfortable to grind on.

There are two different ways that the rings can be worn, offering stimulation to different areas which can be useful for different positions. The first way it can be worn is with both rings around the penis, allowing the bullet to be worn above the shaft offering maximum clitoral stimulation during cowgirl and missionary positions. The second way it can be worn is with one ring around the shaft and the other around the scrotum, placing the bullet under the shaft and offering more stimulation for the wearer. This can come in handy with reverse cowgirl.

The rings of the cock ring are listed by the manufacturer as being made of rubber, although Eden lists them as jelly. The rings are made of a shinier type of rubber compared to the thin rubbery sheath that holds the bullet and connects the two rings together. The whole setup feels rather flimsy, although so far we have not had any problems with it. However the material does attract a lot of lint, as well as bodily fluids, so it gets dirty very quickly. The bullet is your typical plastic casing with a metallic finish, and it is very easy to remove from the rubber sheath for cleaning or to be used on its own. There is a small seam around the middle of the bullet, though, which can also attract bodily fluids and make it slightly more difficult to clean.

When we first received the Matrix there was a slight rubber scent to it which has since dissipated.

Being a very basic cock ring, there isn't much to be said about the design. It consists of two hollow, black rubber rings connected together by a piece of thinner, stretchy rubber; the same material used for the rubber sheath that holds the bullet. The rings fit rather loosely on my husband, who is perhaps on the slightly larger side of average. The rubber does offer quite a bit of stretch so I'm not sure why it is sized so large. We could actually put the rings on when he was already hard, which you shouldn't be able to do. Because of this, the rings didn't offer much in terms of "enhancement".

The bullet included with the cock ring features a turn dial style control, allowing you to smoothly navigate through the power levels. Although towards the end of the higher settings it seems to jump slightly. Even the lowest vibrations seem to be rather strong in my opinion, while the highest setting is extremely buzzy, bordering on obnoxious. The vibrations are fairly quiet to moderately loud depending on the vibration level. The lowest levels can easily be dampened by using it under the covers whereas the highest intensity would also need some sort of background noise to mask it. Overall I would have to say that the vibrations are rather shallow, however. They don't penetrate as deeply as I would like and instead give what I would describe as a "metallic" feeling sensation.

Being made out of rubber, the Matrix Vibrating Cock Enhancer is fairly easy to clean but it does attract a lot of lint. You can clean it with either soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner, just make sure to remove the bullet before washing. The bullet can be cleaned fairly easily as well with a soft cloth and either soap and water or toy cleaner. Just be sure to keep water away from where the cord enters into the bullet to prevent shorting out the wiring. Be sure to store this away from any silicone toys as it may cause damage to the silicone material.

The package that the Matrix comes in is your basic cardboard box featuring a nude "Jean-Claude Van Damme" look-alike kneeling and looking like his brain might explode if he were to think any harder. Between Van Damme and the large text stating "Long, Hard & Tall", it definitely is not very discreet. The box will offer decent storage as long as you don't mind that it isn't discreet.

We've owned a cock ring nearly identical to this one in the past, and we had been fairly happy with it until my husband managed to break it using it on his own. I figured, "We know it works so might as well give it another go". However, neither of us remembered the rings fitting as loosely as they did with this one. Perhaps the one we had was a different brand and their sizing is slightly different. However the first one we owned was quite a bit tighter fitting than this one and provided longer lasting erections. This one on the other hand was so loose that, coupled with the bullet, it actually made my husband orgasm faster instead of lasting longer. Definitely not what we were looking for. The only other thing I don't like about this product is that since the bullet is not encased in anything it is hard and not especially comfortable to grind on. It isn't absolutely terrible, and altering my position a little bit to take my weight off of it made it less distracting, but there definitely are other products that are much more comfortable.
