Hubby and I have now had two of these 'vibrating rings' courtesy of Eden. We'd had our first one for a little while before getting around to opening it, and actually ordered it as a freebie just to see what it was like.

The ring comes in a square, sealed package that's not unlike a condom wrapper. One side is printed with the EdenFantasys logo along with wording about this being a 'vibrating ring for couples' (why they can't just call this a 'cock ring' is beyond me) and a little info telling you that the ring is good for '30 minutes of vibrating action'. The other side of the packaging is completely clear and allows you to see the ring. So it's definitely not discreet.

Also printed on the packaging are the following 'instructions':

* Remove ring from foil pack
* Place around penis with vibrator facing up
* Use the arrow switch to turn it on/off
* Do not use on swollen or inflamed areas (I thought using it on a 'swollen' area was the whole point!)
* Dispose after use

One of the reasons we waited to try this was because of the '30 minutes' blurb. What the packaging doesn't explain is that there's an on/off switch rather than just an on switch. We had been worried that switching the ring on meant that you would use up all of the battery power in one go once it was activated. Luckily that's not the case, and in fact I think we've managed to squeeze maybe 45 minutes out of this by using it on a few separate occasions.

The ring itself is made of TPR, which in this case is stretchy, almost Gummy bear material. It's not the safest of materials, but it didn't snap when I thought it would. There was easily enough stretch for this to go around both hubby's cock and balls without causing him any discomfort. Well, apart from the fact that this material has a tendency to grab onto any hairs it finds. It's not a lint magnet, but if it's stretched around you and you're fairly hairy down there then you'll definitely have to be careful. There are no care instructions included with this since it's really meant to be thrown away after a single use. We just used a little soap and water, knowing that it wouldn't last for more than one or two partial encounters.

The vibrations are simple. There's just one speed and no patterns. However, it was strong enough to get the job done without being earth-shaking and actually led to us trying other cock rings, which we'd never even considered before picking this up. So it was worth the price (free!) for that alone.
