OK, I have to thank Dwtim for putting me on to this one. He told me in a post to another review I made, that he and his wife really enjoyed this one. Following suit to my quest for the perfect cock ring, I had to have it. On to the review:

Cock rings were originally designed to help out men with erectile dysfunction. They slow down the flow of blood leaving the penis, which in turn gives a stronger, more long lasting erection. The benefit that these toys give to those of us without any problems are about the same. They do give that powerful, I'm on top of the world feeling. They also keep the erection for a longer period of time, but my own experience is they don't stop a orgasm. Then again, that could just be my wife.

This Xtreme Xtasy Smokey Elephant ring, by Golden Triangle, has added a couple of bonus features to the design. The first, a ring to encompass the scrotum, which adds a more intense orgasm, due to the fact that the male testicles are kept away from the body, instead of retracting inward during orgasm. The second, a vibrator that massages the penis, scrotum and more importantly, a woman's clitoris.

This ring is best suited for couples play, although the benefit to the man would also be there during masturbation. In practice, a woman could use this on a vibrator of her choosing, but I know there are better toys suited for that purpose. I would also say that beginners and more experienced users would benefit the same from this ring. Yes, this ring is also waterproof, so don't be afraid to have some fun in a tub or shower.

The material listing for this ring is silicone. I also have to state the bullet is plastic. They are latex and phthalate free. They are also Hypo-allergenic, so almost anyone should be able to use this product. There was no real smell from the ring or bullet on arrival. The bullet is a silver plated paint and its battery cover and control knob are black. The color of the elephant ring is gray(grey, if you prefer. Both are correct.).

The bullet is perfectly smooth up to the battery cover and control knob. The battery cover is slightly larger than the bullets housing. The control knob has multiple ridges to improve finger grip.

The ring is an extremely, strong stretchy material. It is a material that has a smooth feel, and offers a softer, yet higher resistance to being rubbed, compared to a rubber eraser. There are a few molding seams, but do not visually, or in touching, deter from this ring.

There are also a group of small finger-like projections on the top of the ring for the penis, but my wife has found these to be inconsequential. The main feature is the elephant. His trunk is perfectly made to stimulate the clitoris during intercourse. The location for the bullet is perfect for allowing him to work his magic. Yes, he also has a smile on his face. He looks more than happy to bring both to a climatic orgasm.

OK, so this is where I detail our new friend, the elephant ring. I'll start out with the bullet. The bullet is 2 1/4 inches in total length. The shaft is 9/16 of an inch in diameter and is 1 5/8 inches long. The battery cover and control knob are 11/16 of an inch in diameter and the battery cover is 7/16 of an inch long and the control knob is 3/16 of an inch long.

There is actually three distinct parts to the ring, itself. First, the penis ring. At rest, the inside opening is 5/8 of an inch in diameter. There is also a small square cut-out at the bottom, to help alleviate pressure on the urethra, so ejaculation is possible. The ring is 5/8 of an inch tall, flat bottom, average of 3/8 of an inch thick(varies) and has twenty four small fingers approximately 1/4 of an inch in height on the top of the ring. Maximum stretch is stated at 1 1/2 inches. I believe this to be the max for comfort, as I have been able to get 1 3/4 inches out of it without material fatigue. The second, is the scrotum ring. It is a 3/8 of an inch thick ring with a flat bottom. It has an inside rest diameter of 1 5/8 inches and stretches over 5 inches without material fatigue. There are no special features to this component. The last part, of coarse, is the elephant. The elephant connects both rings. His face sits at a 90 degree angle from the rings. He is approximately 1 inch higher than the rings and he is 3 inches tall(inc. the trunk) from the flat of the rings. His trunk is 1 1/4 inches long. The bullet sits in a hole centered between his head and the rings.

This ring is very easy to wear. I would suggest stretching the penis ring out before putting it on. The material thickness can cause too much constriction on larger men. Stretching will help in this aspect. Also, be aware that pubic hair can also be wrapped up with type of ring. Yes, I am talking male pubic hair.

As I have stated before, this ring does have a vibrator. It is suppose to have multiple speed settings, but at least on our ring, it is pretty much indistinguishable. It is only a fraction of a turn from the off position to the on. The vibrations this one puts out are relatively strong, for its size. The nice thing is that it's quiet. It's barely audible through a blanket and definitely would not be able to make it through a closed door. It would also be hard to hear , if the door was opened, in another room.

The vibrations are put to the back of the elephants head. His little trunk catches the vibration, with a smile. It is great at teasing my wife's clitoris, and his head does the major stimulation, when its pressed tight to her.

Care and maintenance of this little guy is simple. You can boil it for three minutes or so, to disinfect it. My wife and I just use soap and water. Toy cleaner will also work, if needed. Remember, do not boil the bullet. You can use alcohol, if needed, on the bullet only. Wear a condom, if you share, or change partners. I recommend not to share and replace, if you change partners.

This ring, including the bullet, is waterproof. Make sure the o-ring is clean and in working order, before taking it for a swim. Use only water based lubricants with this toy. It's better safe, rather than having to replace him.

The vibrating bullet requires three LR-44 batteries. The manufacturer has been generous and provided six, one spare set. Please remember to get extras. Also, remove the batteries for storage.

This ring should be stored in a plastic zip-lock bag, or something similar. This material is prone to collect dust and lint. Also, remember to wash before and after use. Make sure it's dry before storing.

I also want to share with you the WARNINGS. Do not wear this product for over thirty minutes at a time, with at least sixty minutes inbetween times. Do not use alcohol or drugs with this product. Whatever you do, do not fall asleep with this on. Also, if you experience pain or discomfort, take it off. Please, don't take chances.

The packaging is quite simple. It comes in a cardboard box and is enclosed in a plastic bag. There are no seperate directions for use, but the box has a picture of the product on a simulated penis. The batteries are in the box, not inside the plastic bag.

The box is 3 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches deep and 4 1/2 inches tall. It also has a extra flap that is 1 3/8 inch tall, at the top of the box to hang it on a hook.
The box is in no way discreet, although it does make a good place to store this ring. It states that it is made in China for Golden Triangle. It also states that it is perfect for couples and made from super stretchy silicone.

I want to say that my experience with this ring was similar to the xtreme-xtasy-rabbit review I did earlier. Although for me, it made my erection feel harder and stronger, I can't say that it kept me from orgasm. It did, however, keep my penis nice and strong, afterward.

This ring could also be used by a woman, solo, with a vibrator. The bullet can also be removed to stimulate the nipples, clitoris, and labia. I do not recommend insertion. It's just too small for that purpose.

My wife did feel the difference between the rabbit ears and the trunk of this elephant. Although once I was fully inserted, there was no difference, the difference was in the way it teases. The trunk vibrates back and forth on the clitoris, while the rabbit ears "sandwiched" the clitoris. Women with a larger labia may want to spread them apart to get the full effect of the trunk. On to my wife's part:

"Smokey" the elephant was an obvious choice for our collection, one because of a recommendation and two because it is an animal. I like having the choice of unique non-traditional looking toys, when it comes to our collection.

When "Smokey" arrived in our home and made his first appearance, I had to laugh. He does have a cuteness to it, but his trunk was a bit skewed. I love misfit toys, since we seem to be getting a small collection of just those kinds of toys. His trunk was not like the picture, his trunk was bent towards the right. It is not bent much but the of his trunk is located to the right and pointed almost downward.

I think this "fluke" actually enhanced the cockring. Instead of feeling a concentrated small tip vibration, his trunk was able to hit more area with his vibrations. This cockring was a more pleasurable experience for me, then some others we have tried, and I give credit to the slightly bent downward trunk.

The vibrations that "Smokey" gives out are not overwhelming. I would say they are surprisingly strong and steady for the size of this cockring. I could not get any added sensations from the "bristles", which is a shame. There is really no noticeable difference between the lowest setting and the highest, so I would say go ahead and turn him all the way up the first time.

"Smokey" hardly makes any noise at all, his "trumpets" are similar to my vibrate setting on my cellphone. The bullet vibrations were perfect for using on my other sensitive areas, such as all over the breasts.

We were able to use this on many vibrators like the Hawaiian Traditional Vibrator, for the added sensations to our playtimes. This also makes it perfect for solo play.

I would recommend this for beginners because this cockring is easy to use and is not intimidating. It would be great for a unique introduction to cockrings for beginners. Advanced users will benefit from those same qualities.

"Smokey" is a versatile, wonderful adoption to our toy collection. He will always have a home here. The price makes it perfect for easy replacing, should anything happen to poor "Smokey"
