Despite the jeweled ring design and the 'gems' falling out after the first use, these rings are effective. Their material is silicone based and much thicker than any ring I've seen before. After almost a month of use, I did not find the usual micro-fissures that you'd expect to find on thinner products.

The material has no smell at all. It came packaged without any sort of powder on it. It is completely clear except for the gems which are composted with glitter. The packaging is a solid plastic clam-shell with a single product card. The rings are easy to use though be forewarned that they will pinch your pubes if you have them. Easiest to just shave clean so you don't get them yanked out. The gems did fall out after the first use due to the method employed to secure them in place. There is a single small point of contact at the bottom of the gem which is very weak and will separate with normal use.

There is a definite noticeable difference in your erection when using one of these rings. They're thick enough to provide good pressure, but not thin enough to make you purple. It cleans up easy with mild soap and water. It should hold up nicely over time, though don't expect the gems to stay in place. I found it comfortable enough to wear for extended periods which is a pleasant surprise considering some of the other rings I've tried can simply cut off your circulation and hurt after a short time.

Being that it's silicone based, you should avoid getting silicone based lubes on it or it will weaken, distort, and possibly break. Water based lubes should be just fine.

This kit will work great for any couple. It should provide good support for those who suffer from ED as well, though don't take that as medical advice, it's my opinion.
