The T.A.O. Ring, or Together As One Love Ring, by Pleasure Technologies Inc. is a basic vibrating cock ring. This is one of the most basic and easy to use sex toys for a couple, especially for a couple who has not dabbled much into sex toys. An awful lot of men are intimidated by their female using dildo's and vibrators for numerous reasons, including but not limited to; "it's bigger than me", "it vibrates and I can't possibly do that", or even that you may have better orgasms with those toys instead of with him, but not with this new toy. This kind of toy brings him into the world of toys gently and could possibly open up new doors for you and he as a couple.
Another idea I had for this toy, was for female solo play. The stretchy band on this love ring could easily accommodating for two fingers in the band and be used solo or for show during clitoral masturbation. This could even be done while he penetrates you, if his penis happens to be too big for the toy.
This could even be used during solo masturbation for men. If you are a man who liked vibrations, but aren't too into the size, and having to find storage for tenga's, pocket pussy's, or fleshlights, this may be for you.
The fourth and final use I can come up with for this toy is for the very open minded couple. Putting around your fingers (securely), and then inserting into your partners rectum/vagina. For males this could stimulate his prostate and for females the g-spot. This requires much consentration, for if it falls of your fingers into his anus, it may be the very opposite of fun fishing it out.
I lied, I've discovered a fifth. This could also be used on a strap on for lesbian couples.
I do not recommend this for VERY endowed men. While this ring is super stretchy, it could be quite uncomfortable for huge penis'.
Sadly, it is a ring that is recommended only to be used once.
Also, this product does NOT claim to be waterproof, and I highly recommend against using in water.

This ring is made of TPR Silicone, which for those of you who do not know, is a silicone based rubber compound. TPR silicone only has a material safety ranking of 6 on the Eden scale. The feel of this toy is quite nice and squishy to the touch, it feels like the texture of a jelly toy, in my opinion. This product is indeed porous but is phthalates free, latex free, and hypo-allergenic!

If you don't already know, waterbased lubricants are the only lubricants you can use on TPR Silicone, which this toy is made of.

This ring is very pleasing to the eye. The butterfly on the clitoral stimulator is upraised. The body and spots on the wings even more upraised. Underneath the butterfly and the clear TPR Silicone sheath, is a white hard plastic where your vibes come from. If you are looking at the side with the butterfly, the on/off switch is on the right side, with nothing but a flat side on the left. The back of the toy, opposing the butterfly is just plain clear TPR Silicone.
The white vibrating part is 1 1/4" wide and only 1/2" tall. The ring itself, through stretchy, starts out at 1 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall(without vibrator). Before being stretched, the inside of the ring is 1" from side to side and top to bottom.. There are three holes in the round of this ring, one on each side and one at the bottom. But, this little toy has a lot of stretch, see below.
Before use:

To show the stretch

Easiest controls ever. The one button on the right side of the front is a little slide over knob. When you slide it over, it is on and vibrating. Sliding it back toward the front turns it off. Easy as pie. It has one speed, medium.

As for performance, it didn't suit me for clitoral stimulation, but the vibes could be slightly felt through his penis. The vibes weren't nearly as strong as a vibrator, but they could be felt!

Care and maintenance will be brief as well. The label clearly states this is a one time use toy. Which makes me sad because it will just end up in a sad landfill.

But, according to Eden, TPR Silicone can be washed before and after use with antibacterial soap and water. I personally, since it did not die during our session, will keep it around and clean it before and after use until the batteries die.

If you are a rule follower, I must state here that I am Badass, and do not always follow rules. Read the directions for yourself, do your own research on the material and make up your own mind.

This was the most minimal packaging a toy can come in. It comes in what looks like a much larger and thicker condom wrapper. The front view is clear with a silver background, the front states the brand name(Pleasure Technologies Inc.) and the name of the toy(T.A.O. Together As One Love Ring). The toy can be clearly seen through this clear front.
The back of the gives you instructions for use, a brief warning, and tells you to throw after after use for sanitary reasons.
Also, there is an easy tear open groove for opening quickly.

I personally thought this was nearly the same thing as the "EdenFantasys vibrating ring", they even come in the same size plastic pouch. Both have clear view on one side with a silver background and writing about intended use on the opposing. This this ring had some extra info on the clear front.
The vibration of this ring, in my personal opinion, seemed to have more Vroom to it. They are similar styles rings, aside from the butterfly design on the "clitoral simulator". Which may do the trick for some, but is personally too far from my clitoris, as was the EdenFantasys ring, to help me achieve orgasm from the clitoral vibes of this ring.
As with the Eden ring, this product is supposed to only be used once.
One other different thing I noticed about this was that no where on the package did it claim it would only work for 30 minutes.

This is relevant to you because I know 90% of the people who have been on this site awhile got the Eden ring when it was a free gift with purchase from Eden.

T.A.O. Ring:


As you can see, the only real big difference is the colors. The Eden Ring was a clear purple with the vibrations coming from a pink vibe. The T.A.O. is clear with a white vibe. Also, the T.A.O. has an upraised butterfly on it.
