With SenseMotion technology and a vibrating wireless remote, the Lelo Insignia Oden is one amazing couple's ring. It is like getting 2 toys in one. It has great range, is waterproof, and has some really neat features that everyone is sure to love.Oden is made with Lelo's buttery soft, premium silicone. I cannot put into words how luxurious this silicone feels. I just want to keep petting it. It is seamless: there is no texture but it is matted which is always nice to help hold lube on better. At the meeting point where you unscrew Oden to insert the charger there is a ring of goldish plastic. This same plastic is on the back of the remote. There was no smell or taste to Oden coming out of the box.
Now for the fun. Oden looks like a sperm. He has a fat head and a long, curled tail. His tail is sturdy and in a C shape. You pull it open to secure to the base of an erect penis or toy. It can fit many shapes and sizes from a 1 inch diameter to a 2 inch (comfortably). Oden can point downward to the testicles or upward to hit the clitoris during intercourse. His tail is flexible enough that it does not pinch or hurt and it is comfortable enough for just about anyone to use.
The vibrating remote is circular, flat and smooth. It easily fits in the palm of the hand for massage or masturbation.
Both pieces are fairly loud. They both have a very high-pitched whine to them - but Oden himself more than the remote. The vibrations also get very buzzy - my fingers have gone numb just sitting here playing with it to write this review. However, no matter how buzzy they get, when in use on the delicate areas the vibrations do not seem that strong - certainly not strong enough for me to get off using them alone. Paired up with penetration though, they do help add extra stimulation to both the wearer and the recipient.
The first thing you have to do (after charging and inserting batteries into the remote) is to synchronize your toy. You do this by first hitting the + button once on the remote - this allows the remote to seek for the toy. Now that it is seeking, you can hit the wee button on Oden that looks sort of like this ((.)). The sync can take up to 10 seconds to kick in but once it does, the small LED light on the toy will flash indicating that it is synced. It can be turned off at anytime by clicking the same ((.)) button but Oden will also hibernate and turn himself off after one hour without use. If you were to purchase the other toys in the SenseMotion line, they could all be synced to the same remote at once.
That is all done, so now we can play. There are 3 function buttons on the remote: +, -, and a middle function button that is supposed to be 2 arrows going around (it looks like an eye to me). The first thing you should know is that not only will Oden vibrate, but the remote will as well. So don't think this crazy toy is going berserk on you. It is supposed to do that. You can turn off the remote's vibrations at any time, during most of the modes, by holding the middle button on it for 3 seconds.
The + and - buttons control the intensity of the vibrations. There are 10 vibration levels that I counted from a very low hum to a high pitched, buzzy, whine that will numb out your fingers. To turn everything on, hold down the + button for a few seconds.
We are now in SenseMotion mode 1. Holding the remote flat, parallel to a table makes it give off a barely there vibration. Turning it upwards slowly increases the vibration until you get to a 90° angle and there you are at full throttle (This could make for a pretty cool party trick I am thinking.). Let's try Sensemotion 2. (To get to the next mode you click the middle button on the remote.) Now shaking the remote activates the vibrations. The faster you shake the more intense the vibrations. In these 2 modes you cannot deactivate the remote from vibrating.
After these 2 really interesting modes, there are 6 push button modes you can flip through. They are varied from steady vibrations to different pulses and patterns. They all can be increased or decreased in speed by clicking the + or - button. In these modes, you can deactivate the remote's vibrations by holding the middle button for 3 seconds. To turn it off at any point, just hold down the - for a few seconds. You can also travel lock the remote by pushing and holding the + and - at the same time for about 5 seconds.
Oden and his remote are both waterproof. This means that you can wash them with warm water and soap without fear of anything going wrong (so long as everything is closed up tight), or use your favorite toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution. Lelo warns against using harsh abrasives or boiling your toy.
Although this silicone is amazing, it is a dust and hair magnet so you will want to make sure to store all the bits and pieces in the storage bag provided.
Oden charges by unscrewing his tail from his head to reveal the charging port. Plug the port in here and it will flash while it charges. It takes about 2 hours for a full charge and it lets you know it is done when you see the steady light.
The remote runs off 2 AAA batteries that are inserted by using a key. Yes, a key. There is a bit of a line in the goldish, back part of the remote. You stick the small plastic key in this and use it as a turn handle to open up the battery compartment. Once opened, you pop your batteries in and close it the same way, with the key. It opens and closes with only a quarter turn so it is rather easy to do.
Confession time. This is my first Lelo product. No really, it is. I had really high hopes for it. The material and use of some really cool technology wowed me, the buzzy vibrations, not so much. Granted, for its intended use, Oden did the job - as a couples ring it works great.

I don't like that it must be taken apart to charge. I feel like I would lose a piece.
Interesting idea.

Nice
i'd like to know more about it
looks good.
This is a very stylish looking toy.
Great!
I like it.
Can someone please post a comparisson review between the Oden, Tor II, and the Mio??
Other than the Tor II there is very little info on the other vibrating rings and not a single comparisson review on the internet! Has LELO not been sending out any to sites for review? Seems like it might be helpful given all the comments here!
nice
The unusual thing.
love it
cute
Very nice
nice
want!
Sweet!
Looks Neat!
This looks amazing.
So expensive but I want it!
Sounds Great
I wonder if this has better reception than the other sense motion toys seem to.
sounds amazingggggg
Might be worth the $
Great design.
Amazing.
HOT DAMN THIS IS PRICY
That would be fun to use
I want it!
Hmmm. Yup. Still thinking about this.
This is such a beautiful looking ring!!
Nice, but spendy!
Looks entertaining ... to say the least!
My bf refuses any sort of ring. Sigh.
seems like the vibe portion would always be slightly off
that commercial made me completely lose it
Oh my.
nice product
I like the shape, but it's not strong enough for me.
not sure how it works but would love to try and find out!
To use the Oden, you wrap the tail around the base of the penis. I put mine on my partner and then I let the tip rest along the side of his balls. Then you use the circular controller to control the vibrations. It's kind of like a vibrating cock ring. My partner loved it. The sensemotion? not so much.
i like the shape
I agree with Freetail...not sure how this works.
I am not quite understanding how this works.
I sooo want
this looks like a fun toy
Ooooo!
hmm
Wonder if the tail would work to make this safe for anal insertion? I do NOT understand why none of the wireless-remote toys out there are designed for anal play!
nvjskd
interesting
This has to be the most beautiful cockring I've ever seen!
Too expensive for what it is...
Too expensive for me
Looks nice, but too expensive for me now.
It looks lovely but that is too expensive for me right now!
It's interesting looking, but not quite sure how they would work..
huh?
helluva price tag :/
It doesn't seem very practical. I love lelo and so does work, I and the majority of my customers want something that is comparable to a wand in power but has the sleek, efficiency of a lelo product, but instead we get pinchy rings.
We just got these in at work (which is odd, because it usually takes us ages to get new stuff in) and they're actually quite fun. Really good range on them, and you can set the remote so the SenseMotion is off, and it works just like a regular remote. Very, very quiet, too. I just wish the remote was rechargeable, too.
