Tor - cock ring discontinued by LELO - review by diverbill

I wrote a very positive review about the Lelo Bo vibrating cockring. Then I lost it while traveling. So, rather than just replace it I though I would try the Lelo Tor, which is almost identical to the Bo except while the Bo has a simple on-off switch (one speed, not patterns), the Tor has a a variety of settings that vary vibration frequency, intensity and provides a number of different pulse patterns. It has one button on each side of the vibrating base to control the settings.

As is the Bo this toy is great for using with a partner, in a variety of intercourse positions. The TPE cock ring is very stretchy and quite comfortable. I find the best ways to use it are with the Plastic vibrator on top of my cock to provide direct clitoral stimulation for your partner, or, if using it alone, place it behind your balls for extra stimulation for you balls, scrotum and perineum. Either way you still feel the vibration through the length your penis.

Like all Lelo products it is made from the finest materials and assembled with a high degree of quality. There are no detectable seams and the finish on the ring is silky and very smooth. The TPE ring is very stretchy, even with the hard plastic attachment slide for the vibrator built into the base of the ring. The seam of the rubbery ring and the plastic base is absolutely undetectable. I had no problem stretching the ring over both my cock and balls at the same time - you do have to spend a little time working each testicle through it. I recommend using a little lube (water base) on your package before sliding it on. Also, it is better to decide where you want to wear the vibrator before putting it on, but you can rotate it into the preferred position after it is in place - or while playing (lube helps here too). Once you have put it on the elasticity keeps it tightly in place but without so much pressure that you are worried about blood flow. I don't know that I would wear it for hours however.

The plastic vibrator has a very appealing shape and a sort of pebble grain texture - but more subtle than that. It slides into the the plastic base of the ring - just make sure to line it up properly - it slides on in only one direction.

All in all it is an extremely well made toy,

The overall oval shape of the Tor, with the flat base for the vibrator I find very appealing. The little traveling case, in which it slips and through which you charge it is at once very functional and quite stealthy.

It is easy to carry in your pocket, and the functional parts of the Tor will stay clean inside the closed case.

I also love that it uses the same charger as every other Lelo toy I have seen, AND you charge it inside the case. The light changes color from red to white when fully charged (although the color you see may be affected by the color of the semi-transparent case that it shines through.

The vibrator's intensity is helped by the fact that it is tightly attached to your cock, or cock and balls. You can really feel every bit of intensity that it produces. Because it is so closely attached I do not think you would want much more intensity - frankly. if it had the power of a Hitachi Magic Wand your junk would be numb in no time.

I really like the ability to control the intensity and especially the pulse patterns of the vibrator. Given its location, it can be a little tricky to operate the controls - the control buttons are on either side of the vibrator, which is either on top of your cock (and very possibly squeezed between you and your partner) or behind your balls and a little awkward to reach. You are also likely to be a bit distracted as you try to push the buttons. This is one area that the Bo has an advantage. With the Bo, it is either on (full speed) or off. Once you slip the vibrator onto the plastic "rails" on the base of the cockring more than about 2/3rds of the way it turns on. Pull it off halfway, and it is off. When you have come the Tor can take a moment to turn off as you fumble with the buttons. The advantage is control of the intensity, and those nice little pulse patterns.

Because the ring is fully detachable from the vibrator it can be fully immersed in water and cleaned. Personally I use Hibiclens surgical scrub and hot water to gently wash the ring, then rinse it in warm water. You can either dry it carefully with a soft cloth or even paper towel, or let it air dry.

The vibrating base cannot be immersed in water, but I also carefully use a little Hibiclens and just a little warm water (to make a little lather) to wash it carefully. I use a Q-tip to get inside the "rails" of both the ring and vibrator to make sure it is fully cleaned. (I would use the gentler Technicare instead of Hibiclens if it were still on the market - hopefully it will be back soon.)

That is how I clean it - I am not sure I am following the manufacturers directions exactly, but hey - I'm a guy - I don't need no stinking directions. I am careful about soaking the vibrator part.

I also clean the case the same way as the ring, before putting the Tor back into the case.

Like all Lelo toys the packaging is elegant if a bit over done. The really excellent part of the packaging is the plastic case.

As I said above, I really like the fact that every Lelo toy (at least every one I have seen) uses the same charger and plug. So if I lose the one from my Elise, I can charge both with the charger for my Tor.

I love this toy both for masturbation and for intercourse with a partner.

With a partner your whole cock is now a vibrator. If you gently (or not so gently) slide the head of your cock over your partners clitoris she will get the wonderful sensation of having her clitoris "frottaged" at the same time that it gets stimulated by a vibrator - and yes the vibrations do travel through the head of your penis, even with the vibrator at the base of your cock, or even behind your scrotum.

Once inserted you both get the dual pleasure of intercourse and a vibrator pulsing through your cock and vulva. You cannot give her the intensity of a hard plastic vibrator being slid over her G spot (unless you plasticize your cock - which I cannot recommend) if she needs that really focused intensity for a G-spot orgasm, but it still feels pretty fantastic.

Alternatively, rotate the vibrator on top of your penis and deliver vibration directly to her clitoris while having intercourse.

As for solo pleasure, this little toy, if worn behind the scrotum gives a really lovely vibration to your perineum and your entire package. Your hand can feel the vibrations flowing through your penis as you stroke. If you want some really intense stimulation combine the Tor on your genitals with a Prostate stimulator, especially one with built in vibrations.
