Bo pleasure object - cock ring discontinued by LELO - review by Nickisonehere

Here's the main point about whether or not you should buy the Bo, a cock ring by the company Lelo: If you want a ring that isn't tacky looking, has a few nice extras, and you're willing to spend a little more, then this is for you. Part 1 describes some of these extra, part 2 describes some of the standard features, part 3 is about some cons, and part 4 is about the product material and such.

PART 1
Extras: The Mercedes of Cock Rings
Here are some of the 'luxury' features. The Bo comes in a pretty sleek looking black-colored box, and looks like some kind of jewelry is inside. In fact, I haven't thrown it away yet. And fortunately the classy packaging does hold a classy product. Upon opening up the box, you'll discover a two-pieced product: the ring itself (made of TPE) and the attachable vibrator (plastic). Each of these products pleasantly exhibits a color and style of relatively masculine, as well as tasteful, appearance. The ring is a very bold, solid color (either navy or wine-colored), and, unlike many other rings, there aren't any 'playful' looking parts or colors, which I found to be appealing. So looks-wise, this, quite simply, is cock ring to get.

Next then, the other particularly nice extra is the rechargeable lithium ion battery (the manual indicates 4 hours run time on a one hour charge) attached to the ring's vibe. Basically, when you slide the vibe part onto the ring, the vibe automatically turns on (so long as it has been charged). Moreover, this comes with its own power adapter. On top of this, it's all waterproof still.

PART 2: Luxury without Skimping on the Standards
The preceding section mostly described how the Bo's extras function above that of a normal cock ring, but what about the standard cock ring essentials, such as fit, feeling, vibration, etc.? The material that the ring is made of is relatively comfortable. The product info says it can be stretched to 2" in diameter, but I stretched it further (my cock is 2" in diameter, and I got it around my balls, too; although it was slightly uncomfortable). It certainly performed it's primary job of keeping me hard and lasting longer. BUT, The vibrator that attaches to it isn't anything so special. It wasn't particularly strong or 'quick' in its vibrations (also of note, it wasn't very noisy, which is good). And it didn't do much for the girl I'm dating right now, as the vibe wasn't hitting her parts as well as other rings have. On the other hand though, having the vibrator facing down so that it's against my balls does feel nice.

PART 3: Nobody's Perfect, Neither are Their Cock Rings
The main problem with Lelo's Bo: Price. This is certainly an expensive ring, and considering how the standard features it has (as Part 2 described) aren't exactly great, one needn't rush out and purchase this product. My other complaints are that it's a bit discomforting since the band can get twisted when it's around my cock and balls, which was a bit annoying. And last, my partner complained that it wasn't do much for her.

MATERIALS: TPE (ring piece) and ABS Plastic (vib piece)
CLEANING: Cannot be sterilized; soap and water will do for ring piece; on the plastic vibe piece is the power adapter jack, but the manual says it's waterproof as well
LUBE: Water based; manual says to use silicone based lube ONLY AFTER patch test indicates that no damage will be done
