I'm a bit of a cock ring lover. I like the way a good cock ring will help me achieve and maintain a harder, firmer, and thicker erection. Once that happens, a decent cock ring will usually help heighten the pleasure and sensations in my penis and even my balls. I've tried everything from solid metal rings, fancy silicone and leather models, and even "deluxe" rings that will encompass the balls. What I like about the Ring O cock ring is its simplicity. It's small, and with an inner diameter about the size of a dime, it's tight. But it's made of a flexible, TPR silicone material that easily stretches to slip over both your cock and balls, and quickly returns to it's small, tight shape once you've maneuvered it into the desired spot.

Because of it's tightness, it works fast, trapping the blood in your growing penis, and getting it (and keeping it) stiffer than it would be without wearing a cock ring. The nice thing about this particular material the Ring O is made of is that you can easily stretch it back out to remove it from your cock. Since this is a small, tight cock ring, you're likely to experience some soreness or discomfort if you're wearing it for an extended period of time. If and when it reaches the point where it starts to feel a little uncomfortable on me, I simply pull it off and set it aside. Sometimes, I will even pop it on one of my fingers or thumbs, just to keep it handy, and stick it back on my cock when the need or desire arises.

For as simple and inexpensive as the Ring O's are, they are actually more long lasting then some of the more pricey, stretchy silicone cock rings. I actually have a few of these and they are still in great condition. They haven't begun to crack or lose their elasticity. In fact, the only time I seem to lose one of these is when an intrigued male partner will ask if he can try one, after seeing me use mine. Since they are so affordable, I often have one or two new ones still in their packaging, and they have been very popular with other guys. So much so, that they keep it for themselves!

Another use I've found for the Ring O's is to wear an extra one specifically around the balls. While this toy isn't designed as a ball stretcher, the Ring O is snug enough to deliver a nice "pull" on your nuts. Often times this increases pleasure when they are stimulated, and even delays or prolongs your orgasm. Again, as with its use as a cock ring, make sure you slip it off if it feels like it's too tight or causing discomfort. You don't want to irritate any of those delicate body parts! Another feature of silicone cock rings is the fact that they can be cut off, unlike solid cock rings, in the event that it becomes too tight to remove while in your erect state. But like I said, even though they are tight, the material should offer enough stretch in it to accommodate all but the most monstrously-endowed males. If that is a problem for you, well... lucky you!

One last note: I've used these during sex and masturbation with a variety of different lubes, all water based or oil based, but because they are made of silicone, I wouldn't recommend using them with a silicone-based lube, as it would probably make it deteriorate. I have found the material works well in the shower, tub, or hot tub, which is probably someplace you wouldn't take a more expensive cock ring or one made out of metal or leather.

I still love these things! Even though I had one break recently, I still had a few on hand. They are so affordable that you can't get upset when one finally wears out. I use them for masturbation and sex and feel "naked" without one. Honestly, it gets me hard quickly and always makes sex and stroking feel more intense. I was actually wearing one when I got the reminder email last night from EdenFantasys to write the follow up review!
