The Hot Lips cock ring is a novel design for a c-ring. This cock ring is designed to look like a pair of sexy puckered lips. It has a bullet in it that, when turned on, causes the toy to vibrate. It is worn by slipping it over the shaft of the penis (though it cannot be slipped over the testicles as well). During intercourse, it may be turned on so that the vibrations stimulate the receiving partner's clitoris. Due to it's design, and where the vibrations are focused, this ring (unlike some) may NOT be turned around to stimulate the testicles.

Prior to it's use, my husband and I have only used one other cock ring. This certainly was simple enough for US, so it's sure to be ideal for beginners!

It may also be used to 'spice up' a dildo, and turn it into a 'dual vibrator'. Simply slip it on the shaft of the dildo, and go to town!

For those that want and/or NEED strong vibes to either "get going" OR reach orgasm, HOT LIPS may be a let-down. BUT, there are those who appreciate, and even love c-rings/toys with gentle vibes..for whatever reasons. I might also add that this toy can be used for those who enjoy gentler vibrations to slowly build up to orgasm; or for those who really want to take their time during a session, slowly getting hotter and hotter! I expect that if used in the aforementioned manner, it could be a great tease for partner sex..making the recipient BEG for mercy (and orgasm..lol!)!! For this reason, it can be appreciated by both novice, and experienced toy users out there!

I was surprised to see how small this thing was when I opened the external packaging! It is very discreet, and can easily be thrown in a hand/day bag, or packed away in a suitcase (and even if today's nosy airport security men DID see it, they may not even know what it is!).

Hot Lips measurements are as listed:

Un-stretched Diameter: 1 1/4"

Stretched Diameter: 3.0"

Length: 2 1/2"

Weight: 1.7oz.

Hot Lips is made of TPE. It is quite stretchy, pretty smooth, and feels almost rubber-like. I didn't mind the feeling. My husband said it was a lot more comfortable than the other C-Ring we tried. I actually thought it would be LESS comfy because of the shape, but HE liked it! Matthew said it didn't hurt him, or feel tight, like the first one we had previously used; and I will say just for reference that my husband has a large girth, so..this will likely fit *most* men comfortably.

This toy has no silicone in it, so most any lube would be compatible with it..water-based and silicone lubes would probably be best.

Anyone who has seen the EF photo can clearly see that this product is in the shape of puckered-up "kissy" lips..and those lips are RED! It's really very cute..many females will like this design, and I am fairly sure that it was marketed toward the 'fairer sex'.

HOT LIPS cock ring just slips over the shaft of the penis, (most men will need to stretch it out a bit..which it easily does) OR on a dildo. My husband and I did not even need a lubricant. He just took it between his fingers, stretched it to it's max diameter, and slipped it right on. It was that easy! I was skeptical at first that it would go on so smoothly due to it's unusual shape, but it was fine.

Matthew (hubby) wore this toy without any discomfort through most of our session..until I realized the toy just wasn't "doing it" for me, and told him he may as well take it off (and continue our session without it).

One interesting thing Matthew said was that HE could feel the vibes slightly, and it was pleasant to him.

The Hot Lips C-Ring is a no-brainer as far as toys go..It has ONLY one switch..On/Off. On the side of the upper lip is a small hole with a little bullet that is snuggled inside. The bullet is very well-set in the hole, and comes out if you pull on it, but shouldn't otherwise move or become dislodged.

On the open end of the bullet is a little sliding switch; that's your control. That's it. On/Off. Easy. Matthew and I had no trouble with it during our session..either turning it on, or off.

The bullet CAN be replaced when the battery fizzles out. The battery itself, however, cannot be replaced.
I also believe a "stronger" bullet (to "up the vibe ampage") could most likely replace the bullet the toy comes with, if one so wishes.

Vibrational Intensity: Well...um...not that great. Oh, I felt it..but it was the kind of vibration that had me saying "ooh...well..umm..that's nice"...NOT the kind of vibration where I would say "WOW...DAMN! THAT's *NICE*". If you are the type of person that likes or needs a strong/er vibrational level, this isn't the toy for you. If, however, you are sensitive, or if gentler vibrations "do it" for you (lucky you), OR you just want something to get things 'heated up', this might be for you. Those that are used to, and love power-tool type vibes will *probably* be disappointed with this one.

I also must add that this toy IS quiet. If you wanted to use it while in a house full of people, you could easily do so, and nobody would hear it through a closed door. In fact, it probably couldn't even be heard in the same ROOM!

This toy is made of TPE..it is a semi-porous material. Because of this, it CANNOT be COMPLETELY sanitized... So, share with caution. It can, however, be well-cleaned with a mild soap/warm water solution, or a toy cleanser. I would not submerge this in water with the bullet still inside; take the bullet out first, and then let the hole for the bullet dry! IF you intend to use this toy only for you, then the inability to sterilize it shouldn't be too much of an issue..especially taking into consideration that this toy is not going to be inserted..

Storage for this toy should be quite easy. It's so small, it can fit almost anywhere. I have an unassuming rectangular 'toy' box (it's from TJ MAXX!) that I use for my (still growing) toy collection. When I took HOT LIPS out of the package, I simply put it inside a Zip-Lock bag, and dropped it into my little box of treasures. It could also fit EASILY into a small lingerie drawer, and if hidden under bras or panties, most people opening the drawer (SHAME on them!!), would not even know that it's in there!! (one warning: it IS so small, just be careful not to lose it!!).

Hot Lips comes in one of those small paper-backing/plastic-front peel-off packages. In fact, I believe there is a picture of the packaging on the EF page for this toy. Yeah..the packaging isn't great. Pretty much once you take the toy out, you throw the package away. But, keep in mind that this isn't a $150.00 toy, so one really cannot expect it to come in a velvet-lined box!

There weren't really detailed instructions on the package..just very minimal. But, like I said, it's pretty easy to use and 'operate', so most people won't really need extensive instructions.

Well, as stated above, I think the design of this toy is really novel...and cute! But, not much else. I mean, I am SURE this toy has it's purpose. Of course, there are people out there that DON'T like a toy/c-ring with strong vibrations; this is certainly good for them. Or, there are couples who may want a toy/c-ring just to get things 'going'..not one with vibes so strong that it will "get the Missus off" in two minutes (leaving "him" just sitting there wondering what to do next!), but something gentle and mild, that will be enough to get her a lil' hot, and ready for HIS action, so HE can get her off!!

As I said, Matthew wore it for about 15 minutes. It really wasn't doing anything for me; the vibrations were just too mild for my tastes..so, I told him to remove it.

BUT, that's not to say that I didn't *LIKE* it..just that after a while, I realized the point of having Matthew wear it was, well..moot. In my personal opinion, the job of a c-ring is to do what traditional intercourse with a man *usually* cannot do alone: stimulate the clitoral area in a constant manner. Well, this wasn't doing the stimulating *I* needed, so, it didn't do "it's job". That's o.k. though..it was *still* fun!
