The rings really performed better than I thought they would. I would definitely suggest these for first-time users. They are going to be much less intimidating than the metal or leather rings, and can also be cut quite easily in an emergency situation.

The packaging, like for most toys in this price range, is pretty straight-forward. It's a clam-shell package that says silicone rings, with the Buck Shot Toys logo, a picture of a model, and the 2 rings displayed.

There are 2 rings: one with 4 tiers, the other with 2. There are 4 balls on each tier that are a bit thicker than the rest of the ring. The rings are made from a soft silicone. They are textured like a jelly toy and have no real smell. They are stretchy but not very much. They are about 1" in diameter unstretched, and about 2" wide when stretched. But they flatten out, so the stretch doesn't really help much with getting them on.

This was my husband's first time using a cock ring, and he was a bit nervous, so the silicone ring was less scary for him. I would suggest using lube to assist in sliding it on if your partner is thicker, because the rings aren't very stretchy and they can get caught on any hair that is present. Because these are silicone, remember to use a water-based lube or you may end up with quite the mess.

The rings, overall, were great. The tiers and "buck shot" made for a very different sensation for me inside and out.

Mr. Bradwell:
The rings felt great on me too. They made me harder and also made me last a lot longer than normal, which is an up-side and a down-side. I used both rings at the same time--4 tiered on my penis and the 2 tiered around my testicles, which added even more to making me last longer.

We still enjoy using these but tend to use the 4 tiered more than the 2. Hubby says they don't feel as tight as they used to so they are losing their "stretchiness" after about 5 uses.
