While the Matador does arrive in its own box, I recommend other storage options. Unless you have a lot of room for big bulky boxes, I do suggest using a zip lock bag for storing your new cock ring. This takes up less room and keeps the lint and dust off your cock ring.

The Matador is made of very heavy, thick and mildly stretchy TPR. This material is semi-porous, rates a 7 on the safety scale, cannot be disinfected by boiling and is not recommended for sharing. It is best cleaned with warm soap and water, rinsed thoroughly and air dried. This is a serious lint magnet, so drying with cloth is not a great idea. I always go over my toys with a toy cleaner, and for this dimensional ring, I use a soft, baby's toothbrush to clean between the detailing.

There is a plastic/rubber aroma unique to the TPR material. It starts out reasonably strong, but with the first wash and airing out it does fade a lot. The smell is still there after about 4 months, however it is very light and almost not noticeable. There is a slight rubbery taste as well, but with a bit of flavored lube, it now smells better and the taste has disappeared. It doesn't taste like the lube, but also does not have the rubbery taste either....Hmmm...New solution for stinky toys? Please use only water based and silicone lubricants on your Matador cock ring.

The overall size of the cock ring is 3' tall by 2" wide. The stretchy hole starts at 1 1/2" and will stretch up to 1 3/4". The bull is about 2" deep and 1" wide. The band is about 1/2" wide, so this does take up a good length of the penis shaft when it is on.

The bullet is a basic dial bullet. It is 2 1/4" long by about 1 1/4" diameter and has a 30" cord. It is not waterproof and the controller is plastic, has a dial in the tip and is about 4 1/2" long by about 2" wide at the fattest part of the base.

The bullet fits very tightly in the sleeve behind the bull's head and the power level is good. It is not a great powerful bullet, but has the power of the rest of the basic dial a speed bullets. If you would like more power, you can change it out for your favorite model.

The TPR Matador is a very thick, large vibrating cock ring. When using, it tends to get in the way and loses its appeal during penetration. It is great for grinding and getting off, but for thrusting and fast penetration- not so great. The nose can get a bit uncomfortable, but the horns vibrate nicely and if placed one on either side of your clitoris, can have some amazing effects.

It was a bit too tight for my husband, so we have used this as a finger vibrator. This works very well for teasing and warm up, less well during sex. It is a bit large and gets in the way. Add it to a dildo! Definitely the best option we came up with. This really adds to your dildo features and gets some tickling vibrations to go with your thrusting. A back massager, this actually feels pretty darn good when used in conjunction with a water based lube on your back! I was very happy and relaxed with the deeper rubbing and then the super soft tickles following the massage. However you decide to use this, I hope it will satisfy your desires as well.

We ended up using this solely for back massages, however the material has deteriorated to the point of tossing. The horns were pretty well shot and with the last bullet we put in this yesterday, the sleeve ripped out completely.

This ring was only about 5-7 months old, we purchased it when we were out of town and our other one broke during use. TPR is not a permanent material, but I was hoping for a bit longer usage.

We take extremely good care of our adult toy investments, so it is definitely not due to neglect.
