As with almost any vibrating ring on the market its primary function is to be used on the male penis as a stimulator for solo and partner situations. However, what we have here is the "Shag Factory Double Decker Twin Bullet Vibrator Love Ring", something a little different. This "shagadelic" love ring is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways. It may look somewhat intimidating, but fear not, this is a simple-to-use love ring that will be sure to vibrate your world on a whole new level.

Featuring two very powerful bullets, each one has a push button on one end that allows the user to cycle through 3 different vibration settings. Because of the way this ring is designed, I personally feel it is more suited for intermediate to advanced users. However, both bullets can be removed from the ring; beginners could remove one of the bullets and use it as a single bullet vibrating ring for less intensity. Because there are 2 bullets with individual push buttons, you actually in a sense have 6 or more vibration settings; for example---1 bullet can be used and cycled through it settings, both bullets can run on different settings, the top bullet could be running on the 2nd vibration setting while the bottom could be on the 1st or 3rd and finally both bullets running on the same settings for the most intense vibrations.

For the best use on the penis, the ring should be placed towards the base, however it's not designed to wrap around the testicles to my knowledge. For partner use, the nubs would beneficial if facing towards your partner for more stimulation. The ring can even be used in conjunction with sex toys in solo or partner situations. If you're going to use it with sex toys, I would recommend glass or metal. It's also waterproof so you can use it in wet environments like the shower or use it with water based lube. With its unstretched diameter at 3/4" and its max stretched at 3 1/2" this ring is more suited for the average size penis.

Of all the materials I have tried I have to say I enjoy the TPR Silicone this is made of the most for a vibrating ring. The TPR Silicone material is also "Hypo-allergenic / Latex free / Phthalates free". This love ring is very stretchy but retains its original shape and size; it also makes for a more comfortable ring. The feel of this ring reminds me of gummy candy, but it seems somewhat denser. Out of the packaging, washing it, using it and then washing it again with a mild soap I still have not noticed any odors from this ring yet. The texture is very smooth to the touch and does not feel sticky in any way.

There are very few seams that I could see, however there is on one open end of the ring and small round indentation. I believe this could be from the ring being molded and created, I could possibly see this being a weak spot in the material making it easier to form a tear from stretching. With it wrapped around near the base of my penis it was actually comfortable to wear. With that being said; if you're one to have a lot of pubic hair please be careful with this material as it can pull on it. The material can be used in conjunction with water based lube and I do recommend using a small amount to make it easier to get on and off.

Without the aid of lube some users might find this slightly difficult to get on and remove. The love ring is safe with water based lubes which will make it easier to use. I think the design could use work in some areas, for example --- Both of the sleeves that house the bullets have nubs that are on the same side, I would have preferred them to be opposite of each other so both partners could enjoy them at the same time. I also personally would have liked the love ring to not be such a tight snug fit; I found it restricted too much blood flow. However, this is a good feature for the more advanced users of vibrating rings.

Even with this ring being a tight fit, it did not cause any discomfort or pain when used for masturbation or with a partner. The ring is re-usable and can be customized with your own bullets you prefer to use. Each bullet is made of plastic and has a cap that unscrews off to replace the batteries. There is a rubber O-ring that prevents water from getting inside and each bullet takes 3 LR44 Watch batteries that are included inside. All you need to do is remove the tab inside so that you can operate each bullet. The batteries are obviously replaceable so there is no need to throw out the bullets. I did find that the bullets can be difficult to remove and place back inside the sleeves; the material likes to stick/drag to the plastic surface of each bullet. I found it easiest to use my pointer and middle finger at one end of the sleeve, then my thumb to push the bullet from the opposite end. Even with that it can be still some work to remove and insert plastic bullets.

The ring itself is fairly small, measuring from the outside edge of one sleeve to the other it is 2 7/8" and each sleeve is about 1 1/2" long. Each of the plastic bullets measure just shy of 2 1/2" long and that includes the push button. They are also 11/16" wide. I would say it is travel friendly because of its size, but not very discreet, anyone remotely familiar with penis rings will know what it is. The Double Decker can only be safely stretched to a maximum of 3 1/2" and its unstretched diameter is 3/4". Overall this will fit the average size penis, but larger sizes might find it difficult to put the ring on and have it too tight.

The Double Decker ring is fairly simple to use, I especially like the fact that each bullet has a push button to change the vibration setting. I imagine this is the easiest to change during use, if it were a twist cap, or a sliding switch, it would be much more difficult. The bullets are very powerful and together on their highest setting they become super vibrating bullets. If your cycling through the settings quickly it will be easy to go past the setting you like, or even turn it off. The bullets can be very noisy at times when both are being used; on the lower settings there is sometimes a rattling noise from the vibrations in the sleeves. On the highest settings I found there to be less rattling noise and more of an in synch vibration noise between both bullets. I especially love how both bullets run at the same noise and speed on the same settings.

Overall this ring worked very well for me; in solo masturbation it did keep my erection harder and longer. With it being a tight fit, it restricted blood flow and all the veins in my penis increased in size by a lot. For the most part it was comfortable during solo use, when I came it felt almost like it was somewhat restricted but in reality it wasn't. It's definitely a unique feeling and sensation when using this ring compared to using your hand. I especially enjoyed using it in conjunction with other toys anally, the strong vibrations shot right up inside me. Unlike some vibrating rings, the nubs are very pronounced on this ring for better clitoral stimulation.

The TPR Silicone this ring is made of is fairly simply to take care of and clean. Before and after each use this ring should be cleaned, generally you just want to use warm water and anti-bacterial toy cleaner. However toy wipes and anti-bacterial soaps can also be used. The material likes to pick up a lot of dust and lint so to dry it you could air dry or use a lint-free towel. I would keep this stored somewhere in an enclosed setting that won't see a lot of dust. You will want to keep it stored away from other toys so the materials do not interact and damage your toys. A zip lock bag will be a nice storage option inside of your toy box. You will only want to use a water based lube with this love ring because no silicone lubes will work.

They do not lie when they say "In colorful 60s inspired packaging". With peace signs and colored flowers over the front of the packaging it reminds me of the Austin Powers movies. A red Double Decker Bus, pink and blue factory that spews out flowers rather than pollution is also on the front and back side of the packaging. With cardboard backing and a plastic cover on top, the packaging is not designed to store your Double Decker Ring. There are no raunchy images at all on the packaging which is also easily recyclable. At a quick glance no one will realize what it is and think maybe it's some novelty 60's product you have purchased.

The backside of the packaging has "Shag Facts", which list off all the features of the product. Some fine print also gives you the Shag Factory website, and some safety warnings about discontinuing use if there is any irritation. The packaging is almost 6 1/2" tall and 3 3/4" wide, small enough to be a stocking stuffer. It's good to see minimal packaging, I dislike seeing a small product that has a lot of wasted packaging that is not necessary.

Sadly I did not do any extensive testing on the batteries as of yet. The product specifies that it will vibrate up to 90 minutes. The batteries are will running strong after and over 60minutes so far. When I do a follow-up review I will hopefully have more information as to if its 90 minutes per bullet, or 90 minutes total vibration time with both bullets running at the highest setting. In any case, the batteries are strong and are working very well. I'm giving this product an overall 4 stars rating for my personal experiences with it. Mostly what kept it being from a 5 star product were 3 main things---the rattling noise it would sometimes make, how difficult it is to remove and insert the bullets, and that it was sometimes hard to put onto my penis and take it off without the use of any lube.
