Splash in My Ocean Any Time: A Review of the Dolphin Cock Ring

All in all this is a great toy for its price. It's fun and stimulating, and great for beginners. I highly recommend it for people looking for an inexpensive way to spice up their sex life or masturbation sessions!

Pros
Makes his cock harder, Looks cute both on and off, Stimulates how it's meant to, Very versatile.
Cons
Vibration can negate the prolonging aspect of the toy, TPR seems to "distort" thin plastic bags.

Use

The Dolphin Cock Ring is basically a cock ring with an added testicle ring and a dolphin shape that houses a bullet and has nubs to stimulate the woman being penetrated by the wearer. It's a great toy for beginners to cock rings or cock-and-ball cages. It's stretchy, functional, and pleasurable for both partners. It's also easy to cut if something goes wrong and you can't get it off by slipping it off the way you put it on.

This toy would be best suited for use on men with average or slightly thicker penises. The toy is by no means loose, but a thinner penis may not provide the proper stretching and friction needed to help hold the toy in place. Women who consider themselves members of the "Clit o' Steel Club" may not find the vibration or nubs of this toy incredibly useful.

I personally think that any toy I can fit in my suitcase is travel friendly, but I realize not everyone thinks so. This one doesn't have its own bag and the package can crush easily at its weakest point. Plus it gathers lint pretty well. So for those of you who require the toy be small and have its own bag, I won't call it travel friendly just because it fits in my suitcase.

Material / Texture

The Dolphin Cock Ring is made of TPR , which is a composite of silicone and plastic. It's soft and feels like firm jelly, has a rubbery drag to it, and stretches quite a bit. The opening of the smaller ring goes from a diameter of almost three-quarters of an inch:

to almost two inches:

without feeling like it will break, and I'm sure it could go a little wider safely, but it might constrict his cock too much or become uncomfortable.
The larger ring is already about two inches wide and stretches much, much wider:


It's a fairly smooth material with a few imperfections, and although the seam is clearly visible down the center of the dolphin, the material is so soft, the seam itself can't be felt. Initially, the cock ring had the faintest rubbery plastic smell, which dissipated quite quickly. It tastes like it used to smell, a little rubbery, and that hasn't faded. The texture of the cock ring is made to be nubby, and it's very stimulating to the clitoris and labia majora (outer lips).

The bullet seems to be made of white plastic. It's hard and smooth and coated it what looks like silvertone plastic paint. It looks a little cheap, but so far it hasn't chipped. The bullet is odorless and tasteless.
    • Somewhat porous
    • Stretchy
    • Textured

Shape / Design / Size / Fit

For being an inexpensive product (mine was actually free with a purchase from Eden Fantasys) the toy is actually pretty well-designed and executed. I suppose the first thing I would address is adjustability. There are a couple of different ways it can be worn (around just the cock or, for added stability, with the larger ring around the testicles) as well as having the option of sliding it up or down the shaft to reach the woman's clit and labia better, though it's recommended that it be worn only at the base of the penis.

Another way it's adjustable is by inserting or removing the bullet. When the bullet is not in the dolphin, he is fairly straight with only a little curve to him. As soon as the bullet is inserted, because of the bullet's position not in the middle of the dolphin but actually quite close to his "spine," the stretch of the hole actually bends the dolphin forward quite a bit more than I expected.


See what I mean?

I have also heard that if worn so the dolphin is underneath the testicles rather than on top, depending on which way he is faced he can be quite stimulating to either partner's anus, though we haven't tried that yet. So for a cock ring, this baby is actually pretty versatile.

It's easy to put on and take off, though my boyfriend did mention that it pulls his pubic hair a little bit. That can be avoided with a shave or trim, I'd expect, but it didn't really bother him. It fits over both the shaft and testicles, and when worn properly, the corpus spongiosum (that thick vein of erectile tissue down the back of the erect penis) fits nicely into the groove set in the bottom of the shaft portion of the ring. It stretches to accommodate at least a man with a girth of two inches, possibly more if you don't mind stretching it a lot, and being squeezed even more. I doubt anyone's cock could break it just from being too girthy, but you never know.

Being stretchy, as well as its welcoming pink color and added stimulation from the bullet, I would definitely think that this would be a great first ring for people who aren't sure if a cock ring is for them, or who have little to no experience with cock rings. It does what it's supposed to, and doesn't seem to do anything it's not meant to.
    • Beginner
    • Can fit over both shaft and testicles
    • Will fit most men

Functions / Performance / Controls

This toy is of course, first and foremost, a cock ring. It functions to support the penis and restrict blood flow just enough to maintain a harder, longer-lasting erection, and it does this quite well. But it also comes with a bullet. This bullet has seven patterns of vibration, which is nice, but you click the button once to turn it on, and then you have to scroll through all seven patterns to turn the bullet off. This is a battery killer.

The first three "patterns" are just increasing intensities of flat vibration (I like Mode Three the best). After that there are a few different patterns, which personally do nothing for me, and then the last setting is what I like to call ARMAGEDDON MODE. It's another level of flat buzzing vibration, but this is different from the first three levels. It vibrates so intensely on the seventh mode that after only a minute of use, I was completely desensitized. I couldn't orgasm, I couldn't even feel my clit or outer labia. It was like my vulva had been vaporized by a giant vibrating meteor and all that was left to stimulate me pleasurably was my G-spot. "And on the seventh day, God rested, and Satan created this seventh vibration intensity just to fuck with us."
    • Strong vibrations
    • Very stimulating

Care and Maintenance

TPR is one of the easier materials to care for, though there are some precautions. Because it is semi-porous (less porous than cyberskin but more so than silicone) it cannot be boiled to sterilize it. Using water as hot as you can stand, wash your cock ring with dish or hand soap, or use toy cleaner. Allow it to air-dry before packing it up. Easy enough.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

Our Dolphin Cock Ring came in a plastic clamshell package. The back is flat and the front is blistered out to comform to the shapes of the Dolphin Cock Ring itself as well as the included bullet and three LR44 button cell batteries. It's quite handy and sturdy, so we use the packaging to store the toy in when it's not in use.

Inside with the toy, bullets, and battery, there is a paper insert that tells us what the toy it, boasts "Dual stimulation for female!" and gives directions for the use and care of the toy. Overall the package is covered with bad English ("The nodules on cockring for added stimulation of female external labium" and "Enjoying the vaginal and clitoral orgasm at the same time!") and claims of seven patterns of vibration, waterproof, and exclamation points. On a hilarious side note, it says not to use on "open wounds, skin lacerations, or swollen or inflamed areas." What do they think the penis does during sex anyway?

PLEASE NOTE that the insert does NOT tell us what material the toy is made of; I am trusting that Eden Fantasys is right in telling us that it's TPR.
    • Good for storage
    • Not discreet

Personal comments

I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the application and wearing of a cock ring.

The usual cock ring is just that: A ring. It's meant to be worn at the base of the penis around the testicles and is applied like this:
1) Start with a flaccid, unaroused penis.
2) Place the cock ring in front of the scrotum and pop your lower-hanging testicle through it.
3) Follow the first testicle with the second.
4) Slip your flaccid penis through the ring after your testicles.

This cock ring is almost like stretchy a cock-and-ball cage, and can be applied differently:
1) Start with your penis already at least semi-hard.
2) Apply lube if necessary, stretch the shaft ring and slide it on first.
3) Pull the testicle ring down around the testicles to rest at the back of the scrotum.

The second was the way my boyfriend put on our Dolphin Cock Ring, and I think it worked pretty well. Alternately, the ring can be slipped onto a dildo and voila! You have your own homemade rabbit! (This is something I'm particularly fond of doing.)

Experience

My boyfriend and I have only used this toy together a handful of times, but that doesn't mean we don't like it. Being small, it just gets missed when a groping hand is reaching for a toy to surprise one another with. I'm always happy when we do use it though. It makes his cock even thicker, and his is quite thick anyway. It also makes him feel harder and (I think) a little longer, and the dolphin and nubs give me the extra external stimulation I sometimes need in order to orgasm.

I have noticed, though, that even though a cock ring is supposed to prolong a man's orgasm, this one doesn't seem to do that every time. I think it's a combination of several factors, including the intensity and pattern of vibration we use at the time, when in our lovemaking session he puts it on, and how long it's been since the last time we had sex, among other things.

My favorite use for this toy, however, is for masturbation. Yep! A cock ring, and I don't even really have a cock. I like to slide it onto one of my favorite dildos (either the Feeldoe Violet or the Superstar Vibe . I'll never have to buy a rabbit as long as I have my Dolphin Cock Ring. I can set it anywhere on the shaft of the dildo so it reaches both my G-spot and clit perfectly, and let the toys do most of the work. And it works like a charm every time.


Plus it's a pretty color combination. I'll include one with the Orange Superstar Vibe when I have it with me.

There is one thing I'd like to mention about this toy, though. It definitely has a weird, assumedly chemical, property to it. See, a couple of months ago, I got out all my toys and laid them out on a piece of plastic the likes of which comes wrapped around a new mattress. About the thickness of a tough garbage bag, you know, that kind of plastic. And after photographing the toys at different angles and in different arrangements for a blog post I never wrote, I went to move my Dolphin Cock ring, to find that it was a little more difficult to remove from the plastic than I thought it should have been. Upon investigation of the sheet of plastic, I found wherever the ring had been sitting for more than a few minutes, there was an impression of the toy where, rather than smooth, the plastic was quite wrinkled, almost as if the toy had started melting or dissolving the plastic.
Here I have re-created the event for you using a freezer bag:



I don't know if this is a normal thing that happens with TPR because of the way they merge the silicone with the plastic, and although it definitely unsettled me, there was no apparent damage to the toy, just the plastic. After a few minutes the plastic went mostly back to normal, and I didn't worry about it any further. I just thought I should warn people of it in case it bothers them.
Follow-up commentary
I love this toy more and more, but we rarely use it together because neither of us really need the effects it offers during intercourse, either the prolonging or the vibration, in order to get the big finish we need. I still attach it to my toys most of the time when I'm using them alone, and it makes the experience so much better. As promised, here is the photo of the Dolphin Cock ring attached to the Orange Superstar Vibe! Most of the photos in this review can now also be viewed on the product page.
