My first thought, when I opened the box to find the package, was oh no. The cock rings come inside one of those Fort Knox-type plastic containers. I've always hated opening them. Thankfully it wasn't as difficult as some others I've seen. And then the three floppy rings fell out and I got to examine them. They are soft to the touch. And the edges make them look like some kind of ninja throwing star.

Sadly, those edges don't do much for me. While I have used them solo, I personally cannot see any use for them in a couples scenario either. They would have been a lot more effective if they were tilted more towards one side or the other, so there would be better contact in stimulating a partner.

The best thing about these rings is the fact they are silicone. That being said, make sure you only use a Water-Based lubricant. Don't even try using a silicone one. Also be careful that you don't have some lube on another toy, and then this one might accidentally come into contact with it. But at least cleaning up is a snap. Toss them into your dishwasher, or just boil them for three minutes and you are good to go.

Putting them on can have it's ups and downs, depending on your experience level. Like most cock rings, choose one that is smaller than your size erect. This might be a challenge for some. Thankfully you get three different sizes. If you are smaller than the smallest ring, it is technically possible for you to take the large ring and twist it double. This makes it a lot tighter, so be extra CAREFUL in trying it out. I would recommend only an advanced user do something like this.

When used, they are about like most other cock rings I have tried. There isn't a lot to say that is special about them. I think the largest selling point was the edges, meant to stimulate a partner. Except it doesn't work quite like it is supposed to.

I do think that these have good potential with a dildo or vibrator that spins. If you can slip one ring onto the item, then insert it into the vagina, the edges would certainly provide a stimulating effect. However, take it easy the first time you try it out.

So, what can I say about my experience? Well, if you are new to cock rings, there are a few tips I would offer. The first is to trim any pubic hairs you might have around the base of your cock. I have never seen a ring yet that doesn't pinch like hell if it gets down on a piece of hair. And you will pinch more trying to get it back off. So a little shaving or trimming before use is never a bad thing.

A little lube on your shaft beforehand can also help. Especially if you are doing the double-up trick I mentioned earlier. Since the ring will be tighter than normal, a little lube can help greatly in sliding it into position.
