Silicone island ring-glow - cock ring by Cal Exotics - review by markeagleone

Now, anyone that has read my reviews will know that I am on a mission to find the ultimate cock ring. I can honestly say that my wife bought this set. I'm not sure if she wanted a way to brand the little guy, or if she just thought it would be fun to know what he was up to. Anyway, to the review:

Silicone Island Ring-Glow, or Island Rings,Double Stacker, are made by Cal Exotic. They have the unique feature of being glow in the dark. They are also two rings, stacked on top of each other(molded). They come in two different styles.

These rings can be used for solo time or also for that special time with someone. They can also be used by advanced users as well as beginners. They are a pretty simple set. All you have to do is put them on and go. There are no batteries or bullet to contend with.

These rings come in two different colors, glow and pink. The material is listed as TPR Silicone here at Eden. The material listing at Cal states it is TPR. The only issue that this would bring is lubricant usage. TPR can use silicone and water based, while TPR Silicone can only use water based. The simplest remedy was listed on the box. It says to only use water based. The package also states that it is TPR.

They have no real smell to them. They offer slightly more resistance compared to rubber, when being rubbed. There is no stickiness to the touch. The surface is completely smooth and there are no visible molding seams.

These rings offer more resistance to stretching than any I have tried to date. I do have to say that these rings should be able to fit any man, or any vibrator, that you women would use, if you wanted a bit of added visual and textured sensations.

There are two unique shapes included in this kit. Both have similar double rings. They also have the same size balls, molded to the rings. The only difference is the amount of balls on each ring. The first ring has two balls on each of the attached rings. They are 180 degrees apart and 90 degrees offset to the other ring. The second ring has four balls on each attached ring. They are 90 degrees from each other and they are stacked on top of the balls on the other ring.

The rings are about the same ease of wearing as any made from a flexible material. Lube makes it easier, but isn't required to put them on. The ring sides are 3/16 of an inch in diameter. The balls are 7/16 of an inch in diameter. The rings diameter at rest is about 15/16 of an inch(5/8 inbetween balls). The widest diameter I would take these is to a 2 inch diameter. It should be more than adequate for most men.

Care and maintenance is pretty easy. These rings should not be boiled. Warm, soapy water is all that is needed. Toy cleaner can also be used, but I don't recommend it unless it's really needed. Where a condom, or better yet, replace them if you change partners. Make sure you wash these before and after each use.

I recommend storing these in the original package. If that is not possible, a zip lock bag would work fine. They may be a bit more susceptible to lint and dust collection.

Temperature is not an issue with these, unless it's an extreme. Average indoor temperatures should be fine.

The only type of lube that should be used with these rings is a water based lube. Although there is a discrepancy on material, the container states water based only!

These rings come in a molded plastic container. It is hinged on the bottom and has a tight seal. It makes a great storage container.

The package is 3 3/4 inches wide by 6 inches tall and about 3/4 of an inch deep. There is a spot on the top for a hook. There are two individual molded pockets, one for each ring. The package says, "Safe and Sure". It says "Glow in the Dark", as this was the set she bought. The picture on the front is two palm trees, an island, and the ocean.

The back says that it is from California Exotics and is made in China. It lists the website to register them, says that it is copyrighted in 2001. It gives the warnings to use water based lube, wash before and after use. It also warns to only use for 30 minutes at a time and have 60 minutes inbetween uses. Do not use under the influence of drugs or alcohol and do not fall asleep with it on. Permanent damage can result.

OK, this is my time to tell you about my experience with these rings. These rings give the feeling of power, that most rings without vibrator bullets do. They are easy to wear and easier to remove when the job is finished. There was no uncomfortable feeling wearing these. My wife, hopefully, experienced a bit wider girth from me with these on.

I can't really state that any of the rings I have tried, including these, have helped a great deal in the longer lasting department. Then again, when she pushes the right buttons, not much in this world would aid in that aspect.

I am highly curious as to why she purchased this particular set. My quest was for a ring that would take both of us to a place we have never been. No, she hasn't spoke a word about it yet, and I will find out only through this review. I think she is spying on the little guy and wants to know what he is doing, even in the dark.

That being said, here is my wife's thoughts, and plots:

I guess this is the time that I have to come clean. I bought these, because when I showed the picture of them on here, my husband rolled his eyes. Oh yeah and they glow- in-the-dark.

I will admit that thus far, the only thing I seem to notice with any squishy cock rings, is that they do increase girth. That is about all I notice. There has not been any prolonged love making when these have been in use. Most of the "additions" to the cock rings that are supposed to give extra sensations, usually are hardly felt if not at all.

I do like that these Island Rings do glow-in-the-dark. This makes them a nice addition to our ever growing collection. This feature and the double stacking feature makes them more unique.

I took the liberty of actually registering this product under their warranty (free online). I found out it is a "limited warranty of 30 days" and you do have to send the product back to them and $10.00 to cover shipping and handling (I think it would be cheaper just to buy new ones).

I enjoy the uniqueness of the Island Rings and I know we will use them from time to time. I would recommend them to anyone, beginners and advanced alike. We had a fun time watching them glow and fade after a bit. It brought some unexpected entertainment to the bedroom, which makes for great memories.
