Oh my. I wasn't expecting the world for $11, but I wasn't expecting such a fun ride from the Pocket Exotics Anal T-Ring. The device itself is pretty simple. Two vibrators, one bent phallic piece that goes in your bum and another on a ring that slides onto your cock. There is a cock-ring free version that sells for about $7.

The pieces are all hard plastic, no give, and no flexibility. Though the cock ring is separated on the back to allow for expansion as needed. Two amply long cords run between the simple control and the two vibrators. And an easy to spin dial controller on the main unit. Also, a plus in my book: the battery compartment is easy to open and the door is hinged, so it won't get lost or fall off.

The insertable portion has a T so you don't have to worry about it getting lost during use. It also has a nice groove just above the T, which held the device nicely in place. No slipping, no hands required.

Pretty much all that's required is a welcoming ass, ample lube and some time to lay back and enjoy.

One suggestion, because the device is hard plastic, I have found the initial insertion a little more difficult than I would like. There's no give, and it hits its maximum width (1 1/4 inch diameter) almost from the get go. After warming myself up briefly, I have had no issues with getting it inside, but be prepared to need to get yourself ready first.

Once inside, the strength of the vibrations goes from almost unnoticeable to hey, there's something, to oh my god! There is a dramatic difference between 9 on the dial and 10. I found the lower settings did very little for me, but the 10 I'll take any day.

And, because of the groove just above the T, I was able to enjoy it hands free. I did use my hands now and then to add additional pressure and hit that special spot just right, but overall, it gave a wonderful ride. I even came close to reaching a hand free orgasm, and I'm looking forward to trying to get there again soon.

The cock ring, because it's made of hard plastic isn't the most comfortable piece in the world to slide on and off, though the expansion space in the back worked well and I experienced no discomfort while wearing it. I did not experience any slipping or looseness with it, though I can see how that could be possible for some, just as I could see it being painful to wear for someone with a remarkable endowment.

The cock ring is primarily intended for stimulating your partner, it will provide plenty of vibrations for the wearer as well. It can also be removed and used anywhere else you desire.

One downside, after 1 1/2 uses on 10, my first set of batteries began to fade. The device is also on the noisy side though, so shutter the windows and close the doors.

Cleaning is a reasonably straightforward soap and hot water affair. That said, meddling with three pieces of plastic and washing them, is a bit more difficult than washing a single-piece unit would be, but it was hardly a ton of work.

The product itself is not a work of art. It's not craftsmanship at it's finest. It's inexpensive molded plastic with inexpensive components. I don't expect this device to last me a long, long time. I wouldn't be surprised if something goes wrong somewhere -- between a short in the cords to the less than robust dial breaking.

That said, if you're curious about anal vibrators or want to try a new toy in the bedroom to surprise your partner, you can't really go wrong here. It's plenty of bang for the buck.

I'm still using my anal T. Not as often as I did when it was new. I think in the future I'd rather go cordless, but then again the low-price point for this toy remains a positive in my (pocket) book.
