I’ve been on the look out for a vibrating ring with vibrations strong enough (or at the right “frequency”) that isn’t tied up with a battery pack and wires that get in the way. Might be a tall order since wireless bullets—ideally suited for cock rings—usually use watch batteries, which don’t have the power of AAs. I guess in this case size does matter! Even so, I’ll keep searching and trying.

The Invisible Companion 2|Invisible companion 2™ comes packaged in a small blister pack like many “inexpensive” toys complete with the usual gratuitous photo of a soft-porn couple about to get it on. “Oh this must be for sex!” The package comes with four tiny watch batteries (uses two) so you’re ready to go from the get go—or so it would seem (more later). Made from TPR silicone, it’s easy to clean with soap and water, lightweight and stretchy enough to easily slide on, though I recommend just a little water-based lubricant (no silicone lube!) especially if you’re unshaved. The stretchy material has a tendency to grab your hair. The push-button bullet and batteries are small but easy enough to assemble.

On my first go with the cock ring, I used it as intended with the small ring down to the base of my cock and the larger ring around my balls. The vibration was … nice, but far from strong enough for my taste. It was pretty quiet, though. But what annoyed me was I had it on for about 30 seconds before the batteries started go. Now, I can get myself off pretty fast if I want to, but I usually like to savor a little before having an orgasm. Not so here. The thing died before I even got close. Luckily there were two other batteries. Ok, so take the thing off, swap out the dead ones with fresh batteries and let’s try again. This time I put it back on and went to work for fear they would die before I had a chance. Not the greatest orgasm, but it got done.

I've tried the ring a couple of other times since then and used a larger bullet with a battery pack from another toy. The best way I found is not as intended on the packaging, but essentially upside down so that the larger ring goes over the cock and balls together with the bullet under the balls. I even tried it with a butt plug in the smaller ring and inserted in the back door, which wasn't bad. Unfortunately, the small ring broke only after a few uses (and not because of the butt plug). Needless to say, but I never got a chance to try it with my wife. Once the small ring broke, she said why bother. It is no longer in my toy drawer.
