The Infatuation Vibrating Cock Ring is part of California Exotic Novelities’ Body and Soul line of silicone sex toys. The fact that it is made of real silicone (as opposed to silicone blended with other materials to make it more stretchy) is a huge advantage over many comparable inexpensive vibrating rings. The real standout, however, is the innovative design.

My wife and I have long puzzled over the standard design of most vibrating cock rings. The vast majority of cock rings with bullet vibes attached to them have the bullet on top of the man’s cock oriented from side to side. From Mrs. Peg’s perspective this is all wrong right from the start. The bullets in these vibes just don’t hit ‘the spot’ for her. I am fairly certain that this is a common frustration for many women as, while I consider Mrs. Peg’s Yani to be exceptional, I don’t think my wife’s anatomy is that much different than any other woman’s lady parts. One of the most successful vibrating cock rings that we have used has the bullet vibe oriented so that it is perpendicular to the penis which gives it a much better chance of coming in contact with Mrs. Peg’s clit. The Infatuation solves this problem with an interesting little tongue appendage that juts off the sleeve holding the bullet and directs the vibrations right at her clitoris. This little tongue thing also has a pearl shaped nub in the center and ten tiny soft fingers for extra added stimulation.

The ring itself has about a 1.5 inch inside diameter. The silicone material is stretchy but not too stretchy so it does provide firm pressure to prevent blood flow from escaping from the penis. Men with girthier penises may find this uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Regardless of size, the manufacturer does not recommend wearing the ring for more than 30 at time with a period of 60 minutes before putting it on again.

The Infatuation ring itself is well constructed. Because it is made from silicone a certain amount of care does need to be taken with it. Primarily, it cannot be used with silicone lubes. It should also be kept away from prolonged direct contact with other toys. Some silicone blends can damage other silicone toys. A sandwich bag or wrapping it in tissue paper provides adequate protection. Other than that, with proper care, this toy should last a very long time. The Infatuation can also be boiled or thrown in the dishwasher to sterilize it between partners or uses.

We were rather impressed with how well the vibrations are transmitted through the silicone. The bullet vibe is powered by three watch batteries that are included in the package. Typical of this type of bullet, the vibrations have a high frequency buzz. It is also a bit noisy. The other thing we found a little annoying about the bullet is that it isn’t a standard size. We have a bullet vibe that Mrs. Peg is rather fond of and we like to be able to swap it with buzzier vibes. The other thing about bullet that could be improved is if it had more than one setting.

Other than the slight issue with the bullet, we enjoyed the Infatuation and would recommend it others. The innovative design and the quality materials make this a good choice for anyone looking for a long lasting inexpensive vibrating cock ring. You may even really fall in love with this ring.
