We wanted to start simple with couples toys and figured a vibrating cock ring was as good a place as any to start, but we also wanted options. This has some options, 7 to be exact, though you'd be forgiven for thinking that there are really only 5 or 6 that are truly different. The vibrations felt great for me, and she didn't seem to be complaining too much about it either. The only real issues we ran into while using the Elite 7X was the cord. I didn't think it would be too big of a deal but it was always getting in the way, it was either too long and would get wrapped around hands or feet or it was too short and would start to pull on the bullet.

The ring was stretchy, very stretchy. There was no really noticeable scent to it, and I did not taste it though I would suggest that if you are spending a lot of time tasting this toy you are probably using it wrong anyways. I was surprised by how much give there was in this ring, as a beginner maybe this is normal for TPR silicone cock rings, I'm not really sure. However it was not loose at all, so don't let the stretch fool you. It has a smooth, shiny appearance and was not sticky per se, but does not glide over skin by any means. It left a red colored stain on condoms, though they did not break because of this.

The overall shape of the ring is not bad, the horns and nose of the bull provided a unique experience according to my girlfriend while I enjoyed the double rings. It is not too tight, but did require a fair bit of stretching to get it the right size for use on an already erect penis. After wearing it for 20 to 30 minutes it did make my balls feel a little tender, never painful but definitely more sensitive to pressure and touch. It took a little bit of adjustment as we started having sex to get the nose and horns in the right spot, but once the aim was right, she was grinding against it with pure pleasure on her face. it fits fine over a condom, though you will want to put the condom on first and the Elite 7X on over that.

It was very easy to use overall. You put on the cock ring, with the second outer ring going over the balls, insert the bullet (this can be done before putting on the ring, just as easily before or after) and then go to town on your lady friend. The remote has a single button that goes through each setting/pattern (which are conveniently listed on the side of the controller). The vibrations are not strong enough to really be felt along the full length of the penis, however the point is more for clitoral stimulation for your partner. She said that it felt great after getting the nose and horns adjusted to the right spot, which took only a couple of seconds to do after I had gotten all the way inside her. However if your girl's clit is higher or harder to stimulate, this may not do it for them as it has a very limited reach in terms of where the vibrations are delivered. Another big plus for this is it takes AAA batteries which are easy to find. The biggest drawback is by far the cord; it gets in the way by either being too long and wrapping around body parts as you move, or being too short to be used in a fully outstretched hand. It was also a little loud, easily being heard under the covers unless it was pressed very tightly between us. A closed door will help if it stays between bodies, but out on its own, others will know what your up to.

We simply wash it off with warm water and some soap. It is kind of difficult to get into all the areas between the raised nubs on the front of the ring. A toy cleaner could also be used with this as well. Store it on its own away from other TPR silicone toys as they will melt together and the colors will bleed (which happened with this one when it got tossed in the box inadvertently landing on top of a clear jelly dildo that now has a red splotch on it).
