Tor - cock ring discontinued by LELO - review by Illumin8

The Tor was our first experience with cock rings, and we are very satisfied, to say the least. The Tor can easily be used for solo or couple's play. It is fairly easy to operate, and will easily bring a new twist into your playtime.

The ring and the vibrating component are completely smooth and made of ABS/body safe TPE. They are also both odorless. The ring itself is surprisingly stretchy, allowing this to be used by any sized individual, and seems to be very durable. The ring portion can be very "sticky" if it rubs against the shaft when trying to put it on or take it off, but it's not a huge problem.

The design of the Tor is brilliant. It's sleek and very aesthetically pleasing.

The actual vibrating component of the ring can be attached and detached from the ring itself (it easily slides onto a sort of track on the top of the ring). Why would you want to use the ring without the vibrations? Well, unfortunately, this part of the Tor is not waterproof. So if you wanted to use the ring in the shower/tub, you would have to remove this piece. Other than taking it off for waterproofing reasons, though, I don't see myself wanting to remove this component at all. The vibrations that come from it are just too pleasurable!

Putting on and taking off the ring can sometimes be a bit of a hassle. Thankfully, the material allows the ring to be stretched a significant amount as needed. We found that if we tried putting it on or taking it off when I was fully hard, we ran into a bit more discomfort than when we did it when I was still getting there. The only times that the ring caused me significant discomfort during putting it on or taking it off was when I tried to do so without fully stretching it out. Simply trying to slide it on and off (even with lube) was a painful experience.

Once it's on, there is no discomfort experienced at all. It's recommended that it be worn for no more than 30 minutes at a time, however.

When we first tried the Tor out, we had read somewhere that it could be stretched to fit around both the penis shaft and the testicles. After trying it successfully on my shaft, we decided to then see how it would fit around the testicles as well. Let's just say that we won't ever be trying that again! We were able to carefully stretch it enough to get it around both, but when we released it snapped back to it's original size and left me wincing in pain. We very quickly removed it.

While the vibrations of the Tor are not out of this world powerful, they are plenty strong enough to create unbelievable sensations!

The top vibrating component of the Tor features a button on each end, one labeled "-" and the other "+". To power on the Tor, the "+" button is simply pressed. When the lowest level of vibrations has been activated, you simply continue to press the "+" button to scroll up through increasingly stronger settings. Once the top setting is reached, you can then enter the "pattern mode" by holding down the "+" button. After a few seconds of pressing it, the first pulsing pattern will begin. The 6 patterns that are available are personally my favorite settings, as I preferred the various pulsing and escalations rather than the consistent vibrating.

The only negative in the way that the controls are set up is that it can easily be a little frustrating trying to scroll through the many different patterns to find the right one (not to mention, the buttons have to be pushed down pretty hard to make them work). I suggest previewing each setting before you actually use this the first time, as it will possibly save some frustration when things are getting hot and heavy.

To re-enter the consistent levels of vibration, just press the "-" button until the Tor cycles down out of the pattern mode. To turn off the component completely, simply cycle back down past the lowest setting.

Another great feature of the Tor is that it is rechargeable. It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge it, and this charge will last for approximately another 2 hours.

Cleaning the Tor is a fairly simple process. Because the ring itself is waterproof, a quick wash with warm water and soap will do the trick. But because the vibrating component is not waterproof, we usually just take a slightly damp/soapy cloth and wipe it down carefully.

Storage is a breeze, thanks to the included protective case.

The packaging of the Tor is pretty impressive. It comes in a small, sleek, black box. As with anything from LELO, it's comparable to Apple product packaging (anyone who has ever bought a new Apple product will know the quality/design of it). Instructions for use and recharging are included in the box, as well as a small pamphlet showcasing other LELO products.

Another great feature of the Tor is that it comes with its own protective case. While this is a great addition, I do wish that the case was a little more durable. It is made of a thin plastic, and just doesn't seem to match the overall quality feel of the product. But the very fact that it's included made me happy.

Over the several times that we have used this, we've realized that it may not be completely practical to expect to both get the same level of pleasure from it simultaneously. While the vibrating component can easily be positioned so it is on the top of the penis shaft, in line with the clitoris during intercourse, the contact is minimal during thrusting. Only when I was completely in my wife, not moving, would she receive direct stimulation.

Because of this, we now mainly use the Tor with the vibrating component on the underside of the penis shaft. This produces wonderful results for me, as it is in direct contact with my scrotum, but lessened the results for my wife.

Having said that, the vibrations are strong enough that the Tor actually ends up turning your cock into a vibrator itself! The feeling is awesome, and my wife definitely enjoys feeling my cock vibrating inside her, regardless of how we've positioned the vibrating portion.
