Eden Fantasies has given me the opportunity to try many wonderful toys, sensual wear and media to later share my stories and experiences with the rest of the community. Over time, it has opened me up to trying new things for the first time, in this case, a vibrating cock ring. I found out that my partner had not tried a ring before and was willing to experiment with me. I chose EF's recently added Double Vibrating Bullet Ring made by Shots Toys.

In general, there are two classifications of cock rings: basic ones that help sustain erections and vibrating ones aimed to add pleasure for both partners. I chose the latter because it was more appropriate for our needs and interests. The Double Vibrating Bullet Ring came in a simple, pleasing package telling me that the toy was made in the Netherlands and is RoHS Certified, which means that six restricted hazardous materials were not used in the manufacturing of this product. Good to know!

I ordered my ring in blue because it was the least "girly" of the color options, which also included purple and beige (which looks pink). Still, the ring looks like a piece of delicious and ornate candy. My partner said he "couldn't take it seriously". Oh well.

The ring is made of TPR Silicone so it is not the safest of materials. Be careful to clean it before and after use with antibacterial soap and warm water. Use only water-based lube with this toy. The material is very jelly-like and stretches easily to a diameter of 4 inches so it should work well with any man's girth. It's called double vibrating because it has two soft-coat bullet vibes that come with watch batteries per-installed and ready to go. The holders for the bullets have little hearts and ticklers for added stimulation. Each bullet has a simple on/off button on the end. Feel free to take this ring into the shower or other watery locations as it is completely waterproof!

The actual ring dampens any vibration going to the shaft of the wearer, wether this is a good thing or not is for you to decide. I think that it is for the best and allows the receiver to enjoy maximum vibration. Normally I'm not a big fan of bullet vibes, but coupled with the "ticklers", I was impressed with the strength of these vibrations. You can really feel the strong vibes on every thrust stimulating your labia and perineum/anus. It definitely adds to the overall feeling and excitement but can also be a bit of a tease since it won't be pressed against you constantly. One turn off was the noise of the bullets during intercourse, but this can be alleviated by playing some sexy-time music to set the mood. Although this toy will not bring vibratory sensations to the wearer, the ring does help to maintain a strong and sensational erection.

You can also attach this toy to any of your favorite dildos/vibrators for extra masturbatory fun, solo or with a partner. It worked well over my Tantus O2 Niagra dual-density silicone dildo.

One final hint, be careful the TPR silicone has a sticky texture that attracts lint and can also tug at pubic hair.
