This cock ring is a great enhancer for all kinds of sexual activities. It can be used during intercourse to provide extra clitoral stimulation. Depending on the positioning of the bullet, it can also be used for outer anal and testicle stimulation. The vibrations from the bullet travel down the shaft of the penis, so that both partners can experience heightened pleasure. It can be worn during masturbation and oral sex as well, and can help provide testicular stimulation when placed so that the bullet is on the bottom side of the shaft. This cock ring can also be worn on dildos and other similar shaped toys. It is compatible with condoms, so you can still play safe.

This ring isn't designed as an erection enhancer, as the material is highly stretchy and may not restrict blood flow enough to provide erection enhancing results. However, the stretchy material will allow most, if not all, men to wear it comfortably. It is able to fit even the largest of men without being too constricting. Men on the smaller side of the spectrum will enjoy the amount of grip that the material provides even when lube is applied. Users of all skill levels will be able to appreciate the basic design, comfort level, and quality of this cock ring.

The cock ring is made of a super stretchy, plushy TPE, which is somewhat porous. Because of the porosity, it cannot be sterilized, so it is best shared only between fluid-bonded partners. The ring has an incredible amount of stretch. It's so stretchy it can easily fit men of all sizes, but does not restrict blood flow. This makes it more suitable for extended wear than conventional erection enhancing rings. (It's still not a good idea to wear it for very long periods of time.) The material has a wonderful amount of grip to it which helps it stay on and keeps it from sliding around on the shaft, but does not pull pubic hair. It isn't tacky, but lint and fuzz can't help but be attracted to it. Overall, when fresh out of the package, it did have a very slight rubbery smell, but the scent dissipated with time.

The bullet is made of very velvety, rigid plastic, which is somewhat porous, as well. It has a raised design which adds texture, but when worn in the ring, the texture of the bullet is not apparent. The sleeve for the bullet is thick enough that deep penetration is comfortable because it provides a great amount of cushion.

With this cock ring, you're getting a 2-for-1 deal. You get a beautifully designed and very masculine looking cock ring, with an elegant and powerful bullet. Some cock rings out there come with silly looking attachments that don't appeal to men as much as women, or come in shades of pink and purple. It's hard to feel like a manly man with a cute animal or girly-colored cock ring on. This combo is all black and has intricate, but manly designs on it. The amount of detail on the cock ring and bullet is incredible. Each can be used by themselves. The sleeve on the ring can accommodate most bullets regardless of size or shape, including corded bullets.

The ring has a nubbed and bulged texture. The inside of the ring has small nubs around in which help to provide a strong grip and additional shaft stimulation. The sleeve on the ring is a pirate skull wearing a hat. The hat protrudes a bit from the face of the skull which allows it to reach the clitoris easily. The design of the pirate's face also adds additional texture, but is soft and plushy enough so that it isn't uncomfortable. The back of the sleeve has a tiny diamond-shaped patch of small nubs so that it can be worn backwards and still stimulate the female partner, or provide stimulation of the testicles when worn underneath the shaft.

The bullet takes on a classic missile shape. The end of it is highly pointed, which can be used for incredibly directed stimulation when used alone. The power of the bullet makes it great for stimulating just about any area that vibrations feel good on (but it isn't suitable for internal stimulation). When worn in the ring, the shape of the bullet doesn't throw the ring off balance.

The bullet has five different functions. These are controlled by the single button on the bottom of it. Each press of the button will cycle through the functions and then off. The button can be easily reached and pressed during intercourse, but does not get bumped or accidentally pressed very easily.

1. Low vibration.
2. High vibration.
3. Steady pulsing on high.
4. Quicker pulsing on high.
5. Two short pulses followed by a longer pulse.

The bullet has pretty powerful vibrations that are comparable to most high quality bullets. While the power level is pretty high, the noise level is very low. It's virtually silent under covers and can be used in situations where a discreet noise level is needed. The vibrations travel through the ring and down the shaft of the penis and can be felt on the tip, which is stimulating for both partners. The vibrations are also transferred to the face and the hat of the pirate on the ring and reach the clitoris incredibly well. When worn with condoms, and when extra lube is applied, the ring stays on and in position very well.

The bullet runs on 3 watch batteries which are included. They are able to power the bullet for hours without any loss in power. Replacements can be found in most stores with a moderate battery selection. The bullet does have an O-ring, but it is not waterproof. It can withstand a splash of water or other fluids, but should not be submerged.

The cock ring, itself, is totally waterproof. It can be washed with mild soap and water, or with toy cleaner. It is suggested to wash the ring after each use because of the porosity of the material. The bullet is not waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water. The best way to ensure that it stays in working condition is to wash it with a damp cloth. Because of the texture of the ring and the bullet, a small brush may come in handy for cleaning.

The package can be used for storage, but is not optimal. This cock ring and bullet can be stored in a plastic bag in a cool, dry place. Because of the tackiness of the material, it may pick up dust or lint in between uses, so a lint-free place is recommended.

It is compatible with both water-based, and silicone lubes, and will not harm latex.

Like all products in the Pirates line, this cock ring comes in a themed package that is see-through. The bullet is displayed out of the cock ring. The package can be used for gift-giving in a discreet environment, and matches very well with the other items in the line.

The bullet comes in a clear box which is attached to the front of the package. It has a tabbed top, so it can be used for storage, but the back of the package does not come off, so it may not be the most space-effective way.

There were no instructions included for use.

My lover and I had tried a few of the lower-end disposable cock rings before we tried this one. All in all, we weren't very enthusiastic and weren't thinking it would do much. I've had several problems with the vibrations not being strong enough, or the sleeve not matching up with my anatomy.

When we tried this one, we were shocked by how well it worked. He really enjoyed the look of it and was excited to give it a go because it "looked really cool". He's about an average sized guy and found that this was super comfortable and not overly tight. I was shocked at how much of the vibration I could feel even though the clitoral portion wasn't making contact with me at the time. It was great to be able to have extra clitoral stimulation in positions where I couldn't get a hand down there. Close missionary was even more pleasurable and I didn't have a hard bullet grinding into my pubic bone. We were using a condom and silicone lube and the bullet only shifted when I pulled out another toy to use and accidentally knocked it to where it was under the shaft. Even in this position, I still found it to be incredibly pleasant.

After our experience with this cock ring, we're much more open to trying the others out there.
