The Vibrating Stud Lasso by Cal Exotics is available in red or black. I received the black one. The lasso arrived in a plastic clamshell package. The front of the packaging states the company name, product name, a few features of the product, and has an image of a man and woman in their underwear. You can also see the product through the front of the packaging.



The back of the packaging states the same information as the front as well as a few more product features, directions for use, material of product, and company website. The packaging could be used for storing the product or it can be recycled. The packaging is not discreet.

The cock ring is made of silicone. The lasso, which is the adjustable band that goes around the penis, is silicone. The band is stretchy and adjustable in size. There are no seam lines on the band. The sleeve for the bullet is also made of silicone. There are small nubs on the sleeve. There are 5 columns of nubs, with 5 nubs in each column. These nubs have a bit of flexibility to them. Each nub stands approximately 1/8 of an inch off of the sleeve. The included bullet that sits within the sleeve is made of ABS, which is plastic. Only water-based lubricants should be used with the lasso.



I’ve taken a few measurements of the toy but if you need any other measurements, please send me a message and I’d be happy to get them for you.

Length of nubbed sleeve: 1 ½ inches
Circumference of sleeve: 2 ¾ inches
Total length of silicone band unstretched: 10 inches
Total length of silicone band stretched: 18 inches

The band can be adjusted up to an 8 inch circumference. This means that it will fit most men if they are wearing it just around the base of their penis. With the band have stretch to it; it could also be placed around the wearer’s shaft and behind the balls. My partner prefers to wear cock rings just around the shaft. If the lasso was put around the penis and balls, the nubs of the sleeve could sit against the back of the wearer’s balls, stimulating the testicles. It could also stimulate the top of the wearer’s balls if he were to wear it backwards. Of course, the nubs can also be used to stimulate the clitoris during sexual intercourse.

So the lasso can be used during partner play or it can be used solo by either male or female. The male can wear the lasso during masturbation for extra stimulation. The female can use the lasso on a dildo, or remove the bullet and use that for external stimulation. The toy is waterproof so it can be used in the bath or shower.

The silicone band goes through a very small opening at the very back of the sleeve. The band can be stretched to fit over the penis and/or balls or you can take the band out of the hole at the back, wrap it around the penis and/or balls, and then put the band back through the hole. To tighten the lasso around the penis, just pull the ends of the bands downwards. I suggest just stretching the band rather than taking it out of the hole because I had a heck of a time getting the band back into it. This would definitely be a mood killer if it had happened during play. Luckily, it happened when I was checking out the product beforehand.



The bullet requires 3x watch batteries, which are included. The lasso comes with a total of 6 batteries. Three of the batteries are already in the bullet. You’ll need to remove the small, white paper that sits in the battery compartment to be able to turn it on. To access the battery compartment, just twist the bottom of the bullet (the part that sits outside of the sleeve) and the cap will come off. There is a thick black O-ring around the compartment to ensure that no water gets into it since the toy is waterproof. Just be sure to twist the cap back on tightly before bringing it into the water.



There is only one button to the bullet and it is located at the very bottom. To turn the bullet on, press this button once. There are 10 different functions to the bullet. To cycle through them, just continue to click that button. The ten functions are as follows:

...continued

1. low, constant vibration
2. medium, constant vibration
3. high, constant vibration
4. quick pulses, escalating from low to high
5. quick pulses (medium intensity)
6. medium pulses (high intensity)
7. quick pulses (high intensity)
8. medium pulses (medium intensity)
9. Long pulses (high intensity)
10. Long pulses (low intensity)

To turn the toy off at any time, just hold that button at the bottom of the bullet down for 3 seconds. The toy will then shut off. When you turn the toy back on, you’ll be met with the very first function. It won’t save where you had left off.



The vibrations can be felt throughout the entire sleeve but are strongest at the very top. The vibrations are in between buzzy and rumbly. The vibrations range from a 2 to 4 in vroom level. The vibrations, on the highest setting, are quite strong compared to other cock rings we have tried. On the highest intensity level, the noise level can be heard from beneath the covers but not through a closed door. The watch batteries died quite quickly. I’d say that the batteries lasted about 45 minutes before I was no longer able to turn the toy on. Luckily there were 3 extra batteries included because this lasso eats them up! I submerged the toy in water and it works well without any problem.

The lasso is really easy to clean since the toy is waterproof. You can use soap and water, a toy cleaning spray, or cleaning wipes to clean the product. Wiping it down with rubbing alcohol or a bleach/water solution can also disinfect the toy. You can also disinfect the silicone by removing the bullet and boiling the lasso and sleeve. Or, you can remove the bullet and put the band and sleeve in the top rack of your dishwasher. The silicone does pick up lint and animal hair so it should be washed both before and after each use.

We enjoyed using the lasso but my partner said that it wasn’t as tight as other cock rings. As I had mentioned, you can tighten it by pulling the ends of the band downward. My partner said that while we were moving around with play that it would loosen itself a little bit. There isn’t a clip or anything that allows the wearer to “lock” the bands to ensure it stays tight. I’ve given the lasso a 3 out of 5 because it’s not a bad cock ring but it isn’t the greatest either. I had deducted the two stars because it loosens during play and the bullet goes through batteries too quickly.
