The In the Way Ring

The Matador is a cock ring. It is designed to enhance couples play by sliding it down the shaft of the penis and using the detail of the toy to pleasure the other person. It could definitely be used for solo play, also. Neither my boyfriend nor I have ever used a cock ring before we used this one. I continued the play after we had sex, so I know it is functional that way also. My boyfriend says he has no want in masturbating with it, though it would be possible.

This cock ring is made of TPR which makes it a 7 on the safety scale. Being TPR, it stretches from 1 1/4" to a maximum of 2 1/2". Knowing that I was going to review it, I smelled it. It only had a very mild scent, not distracting in any way. I didn't notice the toy being sticky and the response I got from my boyfriend was "it's fine". I didn't notice anything but the bulk and the bullet when it was in use.

The matador is in the shape of a bull. Its horns and its nose vibrate to the intensity that the attachable bullet is set at. Although it is all one piece, the 3 vibrate seemingly separate.

This particular cock ring has an insertable bullet. The bullet is controlled by a battery operated dial. My boyfriend just turned the dial to the highest speed before we started, so it being attached didn't affect anything too greatly. When I was using it on myself, however, I was very happy that they were 2 separate pieces. I was also overjoyed that it took 2 AA batteries so it won't be bothersome to replace them. My boyfriend didn't seem to care about the vibrations but I liked it. I liked every aching speed.

I was not burdened too much in cleaning and upkeep of my matador. I simply used a toy cleansing wipe to clean it and then put it in a zip-lock sandwich bag. It doesn't take up too much space that way either.

The toy itself was quite pleasurable. I liked the way it felt clitorally, but the size of the bulls head was cumbersome during sex. I would say, if anything, it may have taken away from our sexual experience.

After playing with this once with just my hand to figure out how it worked and once during sex, it tore. I don't know if you can tell in the picture but there is a slight tear right below his horns.
