Posh vibro ring - cock ring discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Incendiaire

The Posh Vibro Ring is a vibrating cock ring designed primarily for use by couples. The product serves two purposes: firstly as a cock ring it fits around the base of the penis to trap blood within the shaft and cause stronger and firmer erections. Secondly the vibrating bullet can be used to stimulate a partner during intercourse. With a female partner the vibrating portion can be positioned to come into contact with the clitoris, while with a male partner it can be used to stimulate the perineum.

The cock ring is a one size fits all product, designed to accommodate most men. The opening in the ring has a 1 3/8" diameter which should fit around less endowed men as it is, but the material can stretch allowing for a snug fit around larger men.

The Posh Vibro ring is made of 100% silicone, which is odourless, tasteless, non-porous and completely body-safe. It's quite a nice soft silicone with a velvety matte finish. The product has a couple of mould lines but they aren't especially noticeable. The silicone feels a little stiff but it can be stretched in order to put the ring on and take it off again with reasonable ease. When wearing the ring the silicone feels very comfortable against the body, but beware of any hairs which make get caught between around material.

The design of the Posh Vibro Ring features a vibrating bullet mounted on one side. The position of the bullet-housing is intentionally off-centre so that the back of it will sit flush against the pubic bone while the ring is being worn, and the majority of the bullet will project forwards in order to make better contact with the body of a partner.

The bullet is made of a hard plastic and can be removed from the silicone cock ring when changing the batteries and when washing the silicone portion. The bullet is turned on and off by sliding the bullet from left to right, and this is done by gripping it at each end with your fingers. The ends of the bullet both have five small raised hard plastic bumps on them, and these feel rather uncomfortable against the tips of the fingers when you're pressing against them to operate the bullet.

The design of the silicone portion is mostly smooth, but with the occasional raised accent for decoration. These assorted lumps cannot be felt during use and don't really add anything to the performance; they're purely visual.

The size of the ring means that it can only be worn around the base of the shaft, and not also around the testicles as is the case with some other cock rings. It is one size fits all and should fit most men with a degree of snugness.

The vibrating bullet takes two watch batteries and produces a very mild buzzy sensation. It only has one setting, and no choice of patterns or intensities. It's strong enough to cause the shaft of the penis to vibrate slightly, but when you touch the bullet itself the sensation is somewhat weak and is unlikely a satisfy a partner who requires something of significant intensity to get off. It's better suited to someone who just needs a little extra to take them over the edge.

As the toy is silicone it can be boiled, bleached, thrown in the dishwasher, or simply washed with antibacterial soap and hot water. The bullet must be removed first though as it's not waterproof.

The ring comes inside an attractive, yet extremely large and oversized, cardboard box. It comes packaged with a small instruction pamphlet and some spare batteries. The box is far too cumbersome to be useful for storage, but can be recycled.

There's no hiding what the product is, so the box isn't that discreet, but it is tasteful.
