Having previous experience with a couple different cock rings, I found that this alloy metal toy is perfect for the experienced cock ring user looking for a rock hard erection. Since the inflexible nature of the metal and the width of this piece makes it difficult to put on over one's penis and balls, I would not recommend this (despite its effectiveness) to inexperienced cock ring users.

Being wondrously smooth to the touch and virtually seamless, this ring is extremely comfortable to wear once it is on. Obviously, this alloy ring has no taste, smell, or flexibility. Yet, the metal does have the ability to quickly retain the temperature of its surroundings thereby making it ideal for those who may be concerned about placing a cold, metal ring around their penis and testicles. Due to the extreme rigidity and polish of the alloy and its beautiful, simple design this metal cock ring provides one pleasurable wear.

This piece meets the most obvious expectations of a simple medium-sized metal cock ring, barring the following two exceptions: 1.) It's width 2.) It's weight. The width of this ring is officially 3/4" yet it feels like its wider. This width makes the ring extremely difficult to put on (especially getting both testicles through) but this liability is also an asset in that it places more pleasurable pressure on the base of the penis once its in place. Secondly, this cock ring is extremely light which makes extended wear a viable option if you are in to that sort of thing. The size and shape of this piece guarantee a rock hard erection. My penis grew so long and hard wearing this ring that there was no chance of taking it off until deflating my erection via cold water or ejaculation. Finally, in light of the design of this ring, I very strongly recommend that you measure yourself before purchasing this (or any) metal inflexible cock ring. While it fit me and I think I'm average, there is no consensus for what average is; therefore, measuring yourself before ordering would be a safe and reassuring practice.

The alloy cock ring certainly was a challenge for me to get on but once it was on . . . I was on. The rigid metal effectively traps blood into the penis securing a very intimidating erection. Not only did this ring serve my purposes through an awesome erection but the snug fit also served to please my wife by increasing my endurance. The only draw back concerning such a snug fit is that my penis on occasion gets so hard that I lose sensitivity due to the constricted blood flow. In light of this rare problem, I would say that this cock ring is a great tool and does what it is supposed to as long as you are experienced enough to get it on and to gauge when (not just how) to get it off or adjust it.

Seeing that this piece is metal, it is extremely easy to clean. I normally just use some foam toy cleaner and then rinse it off with hot water. If you have time, you can also boil it or put in the top shelf the dishwasher to keep it clean. After washing it, I dry it off with a towel or paper towel and place it a silk pouch with a few of my other toys. In all actuality, it can be stored almost anywhere since it doesn't really retain dirt or lint.

The packaging is very much to the point. It is simply titled "Alloy Metal Ring" and is described as "smooth & seamless." The fact that the packaging includes no directions or suggestions implies that this ring is not for the inexperienced.

On a personal note, I have to admit that this ring does at times scare me in that I'm afraid that it is going to get stuck. I know that its tightness is directly related to its effectiveness but the width of this toy really does give it a more constricting feel. My fears may be attributed to the fact that this was my first metal cock ring. Regardless, while I've used this toy several times, I don't use it as much as my silicon ring because of my paranoia about not being able to take it off.
