Spartan's T-style cock and ball toy is great for a variety of purposes, but it's not ideally suited for newcomers to cock and ball toys. That's not to say, however, that beginners won't like this toy. You just have to be smart in how you use it.

If you'd prefer, it can act simply as a fashion accessory, adding an element of kink that only black leather and cold steel snaps ever can. It also functions adequately as an erectile aid, with one of the two leather straps fastened tightly behind the testicles, and around the base of the entire package. There it traps blood inside the penis, making it appear a swollen, angry appendage. My favorite aspect, however, is how the harness separates and pronounces the testicles. In this state they get in the way, and that's a good thing. No more hiding away, out of sight, and often out of reach. This toy allows your balls to be stimulated to a degree that is constant and extreme.

I think the best feature of this toy is that, due to the metal snaps, it is adjustable to a variety of sizes, and also releasable should it need to be loosened in a hurry. For this reason I would say that it is safer to use than some other hard cock toys.

Adjustments can be made in two places. The first is around the base of the entire genital package, behind the balls, where the larger of the two straps is wrapped. Here is where the the level of blood flow can be either restricted, or almost cut off entirely. There are three settings available here. The other place is around each testicle individually. The level of tightness here is a matter of comfort, I think. Everyone will have different preferences based on the amount of pressure and/or pain the prefer. These straps have two metal snaps on each side, which are in turn wrapped around each ball, then fastened again onto the larger strap.

The leather this toy is made from seems soft, yet sturdy. I found it quite comfortable against my skin. And the metal snaps, though cold at first, were well attached to the leather and did not feel sharp or jagged in any way.

I was very pleased with this toy. Not only did it add an element of rawness and kink to my appearance, but I also found that it improved existing sensations that, until now, I had gotten used to experiencing one single way. For example, I've always loved having my balls licked, sucked, and flicked. But it felt so much more concentrated once I felt the pressure of having them spread in this harness. It's as if having them stretched tight brought more nerves to the surface, where they could be stimulated and enjoyed for the first time.

This toy holds together quite well. The metal clips stay fastened during rigorous use, and they are easily adjusted even in the heat of every passionate moment. But most of all, I loved that this toy was soft. Often, when browsing for items like this, I cringe at the sight of hard, rigid devices that can only be put on when your cock is soft, and can't be taken off in an emergency as long as the merest hint of an erection remains. For me, this toy calms every such fear in using cock and ball devices. It feels good to use it, and it feels safe to do so as well.
