When the Gear Essentials Titan Mirror cock ring|Cock ring by Gear essentials arrived it was met with some fairly big expectations. The metal container it came packaged in provided allure right after we opened the shipping box. Painted a sleek black and silver, our first thoughts were "this is cool" but upon seeing the contents those initial ideas turned more to "this is gonna be tough!"

The Titan cock ring is beautifully polished and has a lovely weighted feel to it that we suppose can only be had with steel construction. It definitely lives up to its 'mirror' name, you can see your reflection in the band. What a great way to check your makeup!

We had ordered the 1 7/8" size and that is where we went wrong! It certainly didn't look like this ring would fit around my husband's cock and balls but we're not people that give up easily. We'd find a way to make the Titan fit...

We had a nice dip in our hot tub to relax and get his 'boys' hanging down nice and low with the idea that this would help sliding this hefty ring around his franks and beans. I slicked him up nicely with a big gob of our favorite lube and got to work quickly before he responded to my touch with a big erection. Despite all my best efforts, and his as well, there was absolutely no way that we could get this ring around both his cock and his testicles even with everything nicely stretched out from the warm water of the hot tub previously. Maybe we're just being too careful, but there's only so much 'squishing' that can be done with a pair of balls and my lover was definitely feeling some discomfort with our efforts. It took a ton of work to get his testicles through the Titan but there was no way that his cock would also slide on through the ring. It wasn't a case of him being too erect or that we weren't using enough lube to make his naughty bits slippery, it's because the small ring size just won't fit. This wasn't a case of my man being overly large either, he's just slightly above average in the equipment department, satisfying but no monster!

We still had some glorious sex with the Titan Mirror wrapped around only his balls. I thought it made for a sexy look and liked the feel of the solid stainless steel bumping against me while his nuts slapped me during vigorous thrusting. My husband also enjoyed it as well and says he likes the added weight on his boys. Cleaning this cock ring up after use is a breeze because steel is 100% non-porous and being stainless it will last forever! We've used silicone and jelly cock rings in the past and they have never made it through more than a few uses. They either tear, get sticky, or just plain dissolve. Metal rings are the answer to those problems and look very cool in a bondage/SM type way.

Our advice is to order the 2 1/8" cock ring, we certainly wish we had. For anyone new to cock rings we definitely recommend doing some research on their proper use because their can be some risks involved. Do some Googling!

We have also searched the Web for information on the use of cock rings with the thought that maybe we weren't using them correctly. While we did find loads of useful information, the Titan Mirror has yet to find its way snugly around both my husbands cock and balls.
