This item, as the name implies and according to the directions on the back, is meant to "wear around the penis." Cock rings are meant to prevent blood from flowing out of an erect penis, thereby increasing the intensity and duration of an erection. This particular cock ring is meant strictly for the penis, as its unstretched diameter is relatively small. It can be worn for partner play or solo masturbation, is totally waterproof, and definitely small enough for discreet travel.

According to the back, this cock ring is "made of body-safe silicone." Silicone is non-porous and easy to clean, with no smell, but be warned that the matte finish does attract lint. My wife, in particular, was fascinated with the stretchy feel of it and did want to chew on it. It definitely CAN stretch, but it is reluctant to do so.

The ring is smooth with three beads equally spaced around. The beads did not seem to have any effect for me or my partner. The size is quite tight, uncomfortably so for me at an unstretched diameter of 3/4". The product info states it can go up to 2 1/4" stretched but I am skeptical. See a picture with a cheap, basic vibrating cock ring and some pencils for comparison.

This is a pretty basic cock ring. As far as I could tell, the beads did not really provide any extra stimulation, and my wife did not notice much of a difference at all. I can't imagine trying to exceed the 15 minutes as it was a little uncomfortable even on a flaccid penis.

Silicone is non-porous and very easy to care for. Silicone is safe to use with soap and water, bleach, boiling, etc. Just stick with water-based lubes, as a silicone lubricant might damage the cock ring. Despite the lint magnetism of the silky matte finish silicone, if you follow the instructions on the back and wash before and after, there shouldn't be any issues, especially if the maximum 15 minutes per session is not exceeded.

The ring arrived in a simple, discreet mailer marked as from Web Merchants. The actual packaging is a simple cardboard box with a plastic bag over the ring. The box has minimal but sufficient instructions and care information on the back.

Full disclosure: this is my first cock ring. I like stimulation on my balls and thought the beads might have some effect, and who wouldn't want more intense, longer lasting erections? Apparently, this guy. I don't think I will be using this again. 3/4" is definitely not large enough for me, apparently. I think I am fairly average size, but this felt pretty tight on my flaccid penis, and once engorged, it felt larger than normal but not necessarily in a pleasant way. My wife and I tried it during sex, and it was a bit of a race against the clock to beat the 15 minutes. I definitely felt like I was larger, but she didn't notice a difference. The orgasm itself wasn't spectacular, and I was rushing to get it off.

I tried it again masturbating on my own but again was not impressed. Plus, while wearing and afterward my penis felt tingly, but not in a good way. This is not worth the risks of nerve damage to me.
