The running bull - cock ring discontinued by Evolved Novelties - review by Yoda

The Running Bull is a refreshing take on the classic stretchy cock ring, adding a little extra variety to the repertoire. It's purpose and function is simple; a transparent TPR plastic cock ring, with included vibrating bullet, that keeps you hard as a rock while simultaneously stimulating both you and your partner. True, there are other version of this toy that do the same thing or something like it. But what sets the Running Bull apart is it's ability to adapt.

How so? The body of the ring contains three holes in which the bullet is intended to rest. The first is located on the top side of the toy, perpendicular to the ring itself. When placed in this position, the bullet is intended to stimulate the clitoris of the lucky lady. The second hole is located on the underside of the toy, running parallel to the ring. When placed here, the bullet is meant to stimulate the testicles of the wearer. Lastly, the third hole is also located on the underside of the ring, only it runs perpendicular. This hole is actually intended to stretch out and wrap around the balls themselves, however it can be used to house the bullet as well. This is also meant for stimulation for the wearer, only the point of contact is slightly more direct.

The vibrating bullet has 7 functions including low, medium, high, and a variety of pulsing patterns, each controlled by pressing the button on the end. In terms of power, I found that the "high" setting was quite satisfactory. It's made of transparent grey plastic, and is about a half-inch in diameter. The ring also features two horn-like TPR protrusions on its topside, designed to stimulate the labia during intercourse. My "research" indicates that this feature is a unique and innovative step, but not effective in its execution. In other words, cool idea but it doesn't work too good.

I like this toy, but I have a few qualms. First, I don't like TPR. It feels cheap, and it's a lint magnet. Second, the part that wraps around the testicles is tighter than the average person would find comfortable. Third, when in the heat of the moment, it's impossible to adjust the bullet. During wear, the ring is stretched tight, and the alternate holes are pinched shut. In order to change the bullet's location, one would have to remove the ring altogether, meanwhile the mood wanes away.

All in all the Running Bull is a cool toy, and it does the job quite well. I would definitely recommend it to newcomers to cock rings. My only comment would be: decide where you want to place the bullet before events transpire, because once things get underway, you won't get another chance.

Unfortunately, this toy broke on me the other day, just as I was trying to put it on. I guess the material wasn't made to last very long.
