We have only had experience with one other cock ring before (the LELO Tor) and we were very impressed with the results that it produced. So when we got the chance to try out these silicone rings, we jumped at the opportunity.

These rings are fairly simple, but are not as standard as it gets, as they are stacked and not merely single rings. One of them is 2 tiered while the other is 4 tiered. They can easily be used for solo play, as well as an enhancer in couple play. Individuals without much experience with cock rings shouldn't have a difficult time using these, as they are incredibly easy to put on and take off.

The fact that these rings are made from silicone and TPE is a definite plus. I would have preferred that they were completely silicone, but the TPE allows for them to be stretchier, which is something that I'm very thankful for when putting them on. The silicone and TPE mixture material has no discernible scent or taste. Both rings are completely smooth, though there are four small beads (made of the same material) separated evenly on each of the tiers. These small beads did not create an incredibly different sensation for me while I wore the rings, but it was slightly more pleasurable than just a completely standard ring. During intercourse, the beads created some, though not a lot, of pleasure for my wife. This was mainly accomplished with the 4 tiered ring, as the 2 tiered ring did not enter her as deeply.

These rings have a great, simple design. One thing that I enjoyed about these rings is that there aren't really many additional features. While all the bells and whistles that come with some rings are awesome, I sometimes enjoy using a toy that doesn't require batteries to do its job. I love the semi-transparent look that they have, and my wife said that she particularly loved the way that they looked when they were stretched out on my cock.

As for fit, they have also earned my praises. The 4 tiered ring was only slightly harder to put on and take off, but both were still incredibly easy to use. As long as you use a good amount of lube, you shouldn't have any problems getting these on. I should also mention that my shaft is completely shaved, so pulled hairs is not a factor for me. If you have hair down there, you may want to be aware that these guys may tug and pull on it a little.

These rings are intended to be used on the shaft only. If you were determined, I guess that you could try to use them behind the balls, but I wouldn't recommend it, due to their size. They will easily fit any guy's shaft, though.

Cleaning these rings takes no effort at all. We simply washed them using warm water and soap. In fact, I just wore them straight to the shower afterwards and took them off and washed them in there. We then stored them in our drawer in a small cloth bag. They could also very easily be stored in the original packaging.

These rings came packaged in a simple plastic packaging. The front of the packaging displays a picture of male actor, Brad Patton, with the "naughty" parts whited out. While the packaging is not an immensely important factor in my impressions of a toy, it does influence them slightly. The cover of the packaging just seemed too... cheesy for my taste.



But enough with me being critical over something so trivial. The text on the back of the packaging includes California Exotics' and Buckshot Toys' websites, as well as the standard copyright information and warning labels regarding the recommended time of usage.

This packaging does not hide the fact that it is a sexual product, which is something to keep in mind if discretion is an issue for you when purchasing toys.

To begin, I used the 2 tiered ring while my wife rubbed me and got me hard. The ring felt great. Absolutely no discomfort at all, and I could already tell it was keeping more blood in my cock. I decided to switch to the 4 tiered ring, and after lubing up and putting it on, I slid into my wife. The very first thing that she said was, "Wow. I feel so much fuller!" I could tell that there was more blood in my penis than there usually is, and it was an incredible feeling. Each of the rings caused my head to feel significantly larger. In fact, I had to ease my way into my wife a lot slower than I usually do, because of this.

We were both excited to see what sensations the beads along the ring would cause once I was inside her. Unfortunately, they didn't end up being the highlight of the product. When I had the ring pushed all the way back to the base of my shaft, only a portion of it would actually enter her during thrusting. I tried positioning the ring around halfway along my shaft, and then continued to thrust, but because I was covered in lube, the ring was gradually pushed back to the base.

This was only slightly disappointing to us, as we had hoped to be able to really take advantage of the beaded texture of the ring. But it didn't detract too much from the overall experience. When I finally orgasmed with the 4 tiered ring on, it felt amazing. We'll be using these in the future.
