This is a novelty cock ring. A novelty novelty as it were. It gives the visual of control and is super fun for when you are playing power games or when you want to have a preview of things to come later in the evening.

That being said, it's unlikely that an experienced cock ring user would choose to use this on their own because it's a bit more complex and a little pinchy.

The material is steel. I would think that if it was stainless steel the manufacturer would have stated that so I assume it's polished steel.

It seems to be of decent quality although the lock is purely ceremonial.

As a novelty this cock ring gives a powerful visual. It is functional in that it does what a cock ring does - it restricts circulation. It's shiny and visually appealing.

On the downside, it's... Pinchy. There are pinch zones where the lock goes and where the hinge is. You must put it on very carefully if you intend to wrap it around your cock and balls.

It's much better to lock it together and put it on like a normal cock ring. Unfortunately, that takes away from the idea that your lover is taking control by locking it onto you.

To take it off you need to squeeze it together to allow the lock to come off. This process can... Pinch.

You can twist the ring while wearing it to allow the lock and hinge to go to a more comfortable place and to relieve and potential pinch issues.

Because of these features I suggest that it's best used for shorter term use. Or for use when you'd like a little pinch now and again.

The hinge seems to be of good enough quality. The lock is feeble and we had trouble getting it off unless held just right. I'd recommend replacing the lock with a better one where the key is more reliable.

The material (steel) means that it can be easily cleaned with soap and water.

The packaging was quite interesting. I normally discard packaging but kept this one so that my partner can suggest its use by placing the case somewhere interesting.
