The Ophoria V-Ring No 5 came in a simple box with a viewing window. There are instructions in four languages on the back as well as a photo showing how to use this cock ring. The photos show the cock ring being used with a condom, but it can also be used without one as well.

The ring appears small at first having an unstretched diameter of 1 3/8”. The silicone stretches very well though: fully stretched this cock ring measures 2 ½” in diameter, this should accommodate most men. You can get it to stretch further than that, but the silicone would be very tight on the skin.

The bullet is an inch long and about 1 ¼” in diameter. It is virtually silent and decently strong for its size. The vibrator should last for approximately 40 minutes. Ophoria recommends not trying to replace the battery. Purchasing a similarly sized micro bullet would allow you to continue using the cock ring as a vibrating cock ring. The cock ring also works well for its intended purpose, so you could continue to use (and sanitize) the ring on its own.

After applying a condom, simply lubricate the penis with a small amount of water based lubricant, slip the V-Ring on (careful not to catch it on pubic hair, if applicable), and slide the switch to start the vibrations. The cock ring does a good job of restricting blood flow to the penis making your partner feel firmer and larger. The clitoral stimulator is small, so it may not reach all women adequately.

The V-Ring No 5 is made of “100% pure Japanese platinum silicone”. Only water based lubricant should be used with this material. Silicone can be cleaned using toy cleaner, soap and warm water. It also can be sanitized if you plan on sharing it. Simply take vibrator out: boil it for 3 minutes, put it in the dishwasher (top rack, no soap), or wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution (rinse after!).

Also, always remember cock ring safety. Anything that restricts blood flow to the penis has the possibility of damaging the penis. Recommended wearing times vary, but one should always promptly remove the cock ring if the penis would go numb or change colors.
