A clear plastic box with a clear insert containing six little rings arrived at our door earlier this week (discretely packaged in a plain brown box, actually), and inside we could see the rings themselves lined up like candy.

We decided to test them all, the 'testing' being a thinly disguised excuse to fuck as much as possible over the holiday period. ;)

The rings come in a variety of colors, with different 'ticklers' on the outside, but all are the same size and stretchiness. To be honest, we didn't notice any difference whatsoever between them in terms of sensation, with the exception of the green one with the little balls around the outside. They were all, however, equally effective, and worked exactly as they're intended to.

They're easy to use - really easy.

Lubricate cock, slide it down to to the base, open slightly to allow scrotum and testicles to poke through the hole and release gently (too sudden and it's like being snapped with an elastic band and the 'boys' get hurt).

Once they're comfortably in place, they're soft enough to let you get on with the job with minimal distraction - I found them to be quite snug, which is good, and I'm what you'd call average in that department. As I mentioned earlier, they're much of a muchness, with the exception of the green one with the balls. I found that wearing this one provided a bit of extra sensation with deeper strokes - the balls push into the base of the penis in a very pleasant way. It's probably the one we used most, although all of them were tested thoroughly.

If you're hung like a horse, they might be a little too tight. No experience there, so that's purely speculation on my part.

The snug fit and comfort ensured a firm and longer lasting erection, and we found that it was easy to use them for extended periods of sex. While there's no warning or anything on the packaging, we've been told not to use them for more than 20-30 minutes at a time without letting the blood flow freely again, so it might be worth reseating it every 20 minutes or so.

(Edit: There were no ill effects after a marathon session last night, so I think that unlike with the other harder cock rings out there, prolonged use with these isn't a problem.)

Cleaning and care - a quick wash in warm soapy water and a pat dry with a lint-free cloth was adequate. We're storing these in the original packaging in our toy box.

Something to note is that these little gems are made of TPR, and are hypoallergenic, phthalates and latex free, and have a high material safety rating. Having only used these for a week, we can't say anything about durability, but they haven't snapped or shown any sign of wear on them. One other similar product we used in the past snapped the second time we used it. These seem to be significantly tougher.

I've used these on and off, switching between the regular cock-ring and these depending on what my hand grabs first on the night, and have to say that they're still pretty good.

One of the rings is showing the slightest bit of wear, but I think that was more due to me overstretching it than anything else. A small nick which isn't a problem now, but will be in the future.

Overall, still happy with it, and will continue to use them.
