Allow me to humbly begin by stating that I have no experience whatsoever with cock rings. This is my first one, bought out of a crave both me and my partner had to try something new. And since this was, hands down, the contraption with the most interesting design that we saw, well, we ordered it. Only her own words can render it justice: "It was like having sex with an alien."

The material is softer than I expected it to be, although it was still quite a challenge to actually pull on even when armed with lube. Be thankful that the material is very stretchy, by the way, because it is almost certain that you will be concerned when seeing just how stretched and deformed the upper opening seems to be when pulled on, almost literally holding on by a string!

Nonetheless, the thing stays intact through the whole of the action, over and over again without ever seeming to tire itself over the nights. Speaking of which, for those interested, this little toy holds a particular sensation: it feels tighter at the tip than at the base, which was not what I personally had expected at all. But even then, in all honesty, it was not exactly as tight as I had expected it to be.

Still, it adds a certain bulk and lovely texture to the penis, if I am allowed to quote my partner's words. To remain on the feminine point of view (for which, let's admit, the vibrating part of the ring is the most interesting), my partner told me with a grin that she liked the vibrating sensations, which were relatively moderate in intensity yet quite powerful when used in just the right position. It, in no instance, proved to be a bother to her, although it did not work miracles either.

If anything, it proved to be slightly more of a bother to me, giving me a numbed and phased sensation after several strokes. I should have taken it off, I know, but alas, I had no experience yet. It, nonetheless, served its general purpose by slightly (note: only slightly, do not expect miracles, gentlemen) prolonging the pleasure and creating an explosive orgasm after it literally fought and clawed its way out.

If you are a newcomer to the universe of cockrings and if you or your partner are interested in new things (and have a knack for interesting designs) but are not yet ready to climb up to the extremes, this could be a good thing to start with. I would have given it three and a half stars, but, that I can't do.
