Our First Time Using a Cock Ring

My husband and I are trying to branch out in our love making and have decided to try cock rings! Our first choice was this one. Never having used one before it seemed that this one was appropriately priced, so it was what we decided to go with.

It worked well for us as beginners, but it might not work as well for others who have experience with cock rings because the protruding vibrator on the top was, at times, uncomfortable. Since it was very hard it ended up poking me, and not in a good way. It also slid to the side a few times, which interrupted things a little.

I will say that since it goes along the length of the penis it helps to vibrate it. When my husband slid his cock along my clit I could instantly feel a low smooth vibration. It was as if he were holding a vibrator on the lowest setting against my clit. It was great because it really got me excited. Once my husband slid it into me I could feel the vibrations throughout his cock inside. It was a very new and very nice sensation to feel, like having the most realistic feeling vibrator ever. It got me even more excited because it was my husband's cock and not some plastic toy. There is only one setting so the vibrations could not be made more intense. They were a little low, but still very arousing!

The material is soft and stretchy. It's very rubbery and gives a nice snug fit for my husband's average-sized penis. It seems (by stretching it with my hand) that it could fit comfortably on a larger girth. However, it doesn't seem as if it would stretch to also fit the testicles inside. The website says that it is made from TPR, which cannot be sterilized by boiling, but can come clean with warm water and toy cleaner. It does feel slightly tacky so that lint or dust could be attracted to it, but it instantly came clean when I ran it under a warm tap. Since it comes in packaging that can be easily reused, once it is washed it can be kept clean by storing it in the original package.

There are nubs that go around the inside and outside of the ring itself. My husband didn't gain any extra sensation from these nubs. There is also ridging underneath the vibrating part that goes along the penis, which also didn't seem to make any difference in my husband's experience.

There is no odor to the product. To me it is scent-free, which is nice because I am sensitive to smells.

The shape is of a ring with the vibrator on top going along the length of the penis, rather than sitting on top sideways like other cock rings. It is great for creating vibrations that go along the shaft, but like I said, it can be a little uncomfortable with hard thrusting because the hard part of the vibrator is poking rather than pleasuring. It did feel nice when my husband was grinding into me slowly, with the vibrator rubbing gently up to my clit instead of ramming into it.

Even though the on/off switch was placed where it would be up against my husband's skin, it didn't seem to make it turn off suddenly at any point. I think it's because to turn it on/off you have to push it until it clicks; just a touch wont turn it on/off, so it's nice that it won't interrupt your love making.

It was easy to put on my husband's penis as well as to take off. My husband liked wearing it up until he came. Maybe it's just a cock ring thing in general, but my husband said that when he orgasmed it felt like a "half-orgasm" where he couldn't fully cum. He said it felt like it was hard for the semen to come out, and almost felt like it was going back in! That doesn't sound great to me!

This toy works with small watch-type batteries, and it's nice that it comes with an extra set of batteries. There is nothing worse than having a toy that you have to search for batteries for! This toy is durable and can be used over and over, which we definitely plan to do!

Before my husband and I tried this together, I actually used it alone. I just put my fingers through the ring and put it over my clit. It was so nice. It was relaxing because the vibrations weren't overly powerful and felt nice. As I played with myself I ran it up and down over my clit, and back and forth, creating a quite wonderful sensation. It rocked me and sent tingles through my clit for over half an hour after I got done using it. I love that this can be used with your partner or alone.
