This cock ring is absolutely adorable, I have to give it that. As soon as I first saw it I just knew I had to try it out. It's a super stretchy TPR cock ring in the shape of smoochy lips, what's not to love?? Well my husband could probably think of a few things. He wasn't as thrilled with the design but he's a good sport and so he willingly gave it a try.

Once we got the Hot Lips cock ring I noticed it's actually a bit more orange than it appears in the pictures. Ok, not as thrilled but still no biggy. One other let down when I got the Hot Lips was the packaging. Now, packaging doesn't always need to be super fancy, but I do appreciate being able to use the packaging to store the toy. Especially one that will pick up hair and lint like you wouldn't believe. But the Hot Lips comes on a cardboard backing that you peel the plastic topping away from. You could use the plastic as a tray but there would be nothing to cover it. I've decided to just use a sandwhich bag for it.

It was still super stretchy and plush and I figured we'd be good to go as far as comfort was concerned. This turned out not to be the case. While it went on with no issue and was comfortable on my husband while he was just sitting there alone as soon as I would touch him he'd yell out "ouch!". It seems that the Hot Lips pulled his skin very taut and if I would even touch him to, ya know, angle him into me, he would be in pain. We tried repositioning it a few times but he just kept cringing and yelling "ouch!". Finally I said "just take it off!" and he did. I was just a bit too impatient and couldn't be bothered with ouchy cock rings when I just wanted to get on with the sexin'.

I have to say that it was a bit of a mood killer and I'm not willing to try it again. I don't know about you but I'm not a huge fan of my husband cringing every time I go to touch his penis. It's just not sexy. Instead I decided that my pretty red ...err orange.. lips were going to be my new vibe and dildo buddy. The Hot Lips turn a standard vibe into a dual stimulator and add a nice vibrating clit stimulator to dildos.

There is only one speed of vibration, which is turned on by a little switch on the outside of the top lip. (You can replace this bullet by the way, but it needs to be with another micro bullet.)The vibrations were almost absolutely silent, you could use this baby in the same room as someone and they'd never be the wiser. Now, if you're using it as a cock ring then someone else in the room would PROBABLY know you're up to something, hehe. I found the vibrations to be suitable for teasing and slow relaxing fun like this, but they're not quite enough to push me over the edge and into orgasm. Sometimes though orgasm isn't the end goal. Sometimes it's nice just to have a warm up before the main event, and that's where my Hot Lips comes into play.

Now, let's say that I had been able to use this as an actual cock ring. If that had been the case I think that the vibrations would have been enough to make me orgasm. It's an entirely different ball game when you are using vibrations during sex, at least for me. So, if your partner isn't super sensitive like mine (he's my delicate flower) then you could probably enjoy this as a cock ring. It is stretchy enough that it'll fit a wide range of sizes. I think the issue was the material itself for him, I think the material grabbed onto the skin and held on tight, even with lubricant involved.
