The Ophoria V-Ring #5 is a fun cock-ring that turns your favorite shaft (whether it's your partners or another toy) into an extra-sensory love machine. Okay, calling it a love machine might be going a little far, but it sure does a good job!

This ring is made out of silicone (which means no silicone-based lube!), measures 1 3/8" in diameter, and stretches pretty easily. It's simply designed and is a no-frills kind of vibrating cock-ring. The V-Ring is tasteless and pretty much odorless. It comes with a built-in vibrator that, according to other reviews, lasts approximately 40 minutes. The batteries can be replaced, but they should not be. However, the vibe can be completely removed and replaced with a bullet if it will fit. My wife and I plan on doing this as soon as the batteries on this one die. We've used it many times, and it's still kicking which either means the batteries are great (happy face) or our love-making is really short (sad face).

Anyways, back to the ring: It went on easily, fit pretty well, and felt really good. Of course, the vibrations were most intense at the base of my cock, but I could feel a little somethin'-somethin' throughout. Its "grip" was firm but not constrictive although it did move a little bit during intense use. My wife was able to feel the difference in girth it caused and was easily buzzed by the vibe although she couldn't feel any of the somethin'-somethin' I was feeling throughout. We found the best positions for this toy to be either cowgirl or missionary, and it also worked well with her favorite non-vibrating dildos.

As far as cleaning is concerned, because it's silicone, it's pretty easy and versatile, but because of the vibe, either carefully clean it with soap and water or use some after-sex cleaning wipes.

Our first time using it was pretty awesome. After engaging in some oral play beforehand, I broke out the Ophoria V-Ring #5 and handed it to my wife to put on me. First, she sucked on my cock some more, making it extra wet, then licked around the inside of the ring as well. She slipped it over my head and wiggled and jiggled and and stretched it all the way down my cock to the base of my shaft. After watching my member swell even more, she switched the ring on, gave an excited smile to me, laid down, and spread her legs for me to enter her. We experimented a little with how best to fuck while wearing the ring (deep, slow thrusting; shallow, quick thrusting; doggy-style with the vibe toward my balls; etc) and found that some good old-fashioned, high school grinding worked best for us. For me, it somehow muffled/intensified the vibrations I felt at the base of my shaft. I can't explain it, but it was pretty awesome. For her, it made the vibrator pretty much land straight on her clit as well as let me fuck her even deeper.

We really enjoyed using this ring and it became a regular part of our sessions until we packed up for a move and it got lost in shuffle! As far as the ring is concerned, we never tried to replace the batteries while we still had the ring (but only because they didn't die on us).
