This particular cock ring is intended for men who would like a stronger erection and longer staying power. This is the kind of cock ring that goes round both the cock and the balls. It is intended, as the name implies, for those who have a little more experience with cock rings. It is less stretchy than the beginner version and stretchier than the advanced one.

This was my first cock ring. I got it to see what it would be like. Having used it for a while, I find I really enjoy the feeling of something hugging my cock and balls. Even when flaccid I enjoy this ring as it is thick and feels "there," like there is something substantial--not like some of the more inconsequential rubber rings you may find--wrapping around my package.

I also enjoy the visual aspect of my engorged cock when using this cock ring. Using this (as well as any ring) enlarges the veins and gives your cock a meatier look to it, which I really enjoy.

This ring is made out of silicone. It has no odor. It is black and has a smooth texture that does not pull much at skin or hair. There is a substantial seam along one side from the manufacturing process. You can probably trim it off with an exacto knife. I left mine. It feels just fine if you leave the seam side facing your body and not away.

This is the intermediate ring so it has some stretchiness, but not as much as a TPR silicone ring would. But this means that the ring is more substantial and less likely to give when your cock is pushing against it. Conversely, if you are on the bigger side (as I am) may have discomfort when using this ring. I am just a hair over 6" in circumference. Wearing this ring flaccid is no problem.

In fact that is what I enjoy using this for the most. I can wear it all day under clothes. However, as soon as I achieve a full erection, the girth of my cock in combination with my balls being in the ring causes discomfort and an aching sensation in my balls that I assume is the various tubes running from my balls to my cock being pressed between the ring and my cock.

I cannot really use this ring during sex (and sometimes not even when masturbating) because of this.

If you are on the bigger side, you should measure before you buy this. In fact, that goes for all sizes and any cock ring. Measure first!

This is a rather simple cock ring. There are no snaps or clasps or hinges. It is one solid ring that you put on one ball at a time. First one ball, the other, and finally your flaccid cock. You cannot put on or take off this ring while hard. So plan ahead!

Do not use silicone based lubricant with this toy. Water based only. Cleaning should be done every time you use the ring. Warm soapy water will do. It is small and fits anywhere, even your pocket.

The packaging was the vacuum pack type, but it was easy to take apart as it hinged at the bottom. There was no need to risk a finger trying to cut this package open.

I quite enjoyed this toy until I got hard. It was too small at that point and I started to experience discomfort. So now, this is not used as my go to cock ring. I use this when I want to wear a cock ring under clothes during the day in combination with erection denial play. When I get an erection, the pleasure mixes with a little dull ache in my balls which quells my erection. Be careful with this ring. If you are a beginner, get a larger ring or one that will stretch more. Once you know your limits, then you can push them SAFELY.
