This set includes 1 Eden bag, 1 package of Eden wipes, and 1 vibrating cock ring. Each of these items have been available for individual purchase on Eden for some time now, and they have each been offered as free gifts for quite awhile individually. However, Eden has recently put all three of these popular Eden items into a kit for one low price...and it is currently available as a free gift!

As I said, these items can be purchased individually. The bag is available for $2, the ring is $5.99, and the wipes are sold for $4.99 per pack. In total, if you were to purchase each of these items individually, at full price, it would cost $12.98. This Essential Items kit is currently available for a free gift, but is available for purchase for $12.97. There is a one cent difference if you purchase them all together in this kit, so it's not much of a sale if you buy the kit compared to the individual items, but it's definitely a huge deal to be able to receive all three items for free with any purchase!

I don't feel that much needs to be said about the bag - it is multi-use, and practical for pretty much anything. It DOES have the Eden logo on it, so if that bothers you, you might not want to carry it around publicly. These are pretty much the same as the reusable shopping bags that some grocery stores sell, and they are great for bringing to the super market! A fun way to promote Eden, while saving those plastic and paper bags, so it's good for the environment! The logo IS on both sides, so it's not like you can hide it by carrying it with one side showing if you find the logo to be indiscreet. Though, with that said, there are no overtly sexual messages on the bag, so it's not really all that bad. One side has the Eden logo and says Smart & Sexy with the Facebook and Twitter links, the other side has a pink and green leaf pattern and just says edenfantasys.com.

The ring is packaged in a tear-open plastic pouch, and it is meant for one time use. It is made in china and says it is sold as a novelty (which I often find sketchy with sex toys, but this is one-time use, so no harm done). The package is definitely not discreet, it has info on the product on one side, and the other side is clear and the ring can be seen through the plastic. These rings have long been available to add individually as a free gift with any purchase, and they can also be purchased individually for $5.99 each. These are wonderful for beginners or anyone interested in trying out a vibrating cock ring, or just cock rings in general. It is definitely great for couples, as the ring is intended to go around the base of the penis (and no, I don't think it would fit around the testicles as well) while providing clitoral stimulation with the vibrating component. Rings are also used to help maintain harder, longer erections. However, these rings are definitely not exclusively for couples play! One of these rings can be put around the base of a dildo, or really just about any insertable toy, and can be used to provide clitoral stimulation that a toy that would otherwise be lacking. If you have a clit of steel, you might not love this ring (which is the reason I didn't love it to begin with). I tend to go for stronger toys, and this is on the weaker end of the vibration spectrum for me. Although, it definitely does provide reasonable clit stimulation, just not mind-blowingly so. At least with this, you get some mild clit stimulation without having to use your or your partners fingers, leaving your hands available for other things! ;)

The vibrations are on the buzzy side, but I have had orgasms using this ring. It claims to provide 30 minutes of vibration, but I know I've gotten a few that lasted for longer than that. It is made of TPR silicone, which generally I wouldn't use, but I don't mind it at all being that the ring is one-time use. Because of this material, it should be used only with water-based lube. Also, I do not believe this ring is waterproof. There is no way to replace the batteries or anything, so there would really be no point in keeping the ring around past the one use. There are little nubs on one side of the ring, though they aren't really all that apparent when using it.

The wipes are alcohol-free, so they are fine to use on silicone toys. They are great to have on hand for quick after sex clean up, or even just as wet wipes. Although, the package is not discreet. It does say that these are from the Sex Shop You Can Trust, in big letters on the front of the package. Not to mention, it says it can be used on toys. In theory, you could keep these in your purse or car for cleaning up general messes, but people could definitely take notice of the packaging which could be awkward! These do contain glycerin. While I have sensitive skin, I am not bothered by any of the ingredients. There are 10 wipes per pack, and they are built pretty much like your typical wet wipes. I am sensitive to scents, and the scent of these is light and fresh, it does not bother me in the least. The ingredients in these wipes are (including links to safety info): Water, Chlorhexidine, Glycerin, Aloe Extract, Vitamin E, Tea Tree Oil. I know some people have reactions to aloe, and tea tree, so be aware of this if you know you have an allergy to these ingredients!

My opinion on this ring has changed drastically since I first tried one of them. While they are not exactly super strong, they do help to get the job done.
- If you are not in a monogamous relationship, it can feel a bit weird taking out a more expensive ring and using it with multiple partners. With this, you know it is clean and sterile, since it comes sealed in a one-time use package.
- There is no real need to clean up, or worry about sanitizing the ring. You can just throw the ring away, no need for after-sex clean up. This makes for a convenience for anyone, and again, it really comes in handy if you don't want to use one ring with more than one partner.
- Great to keep in your purse, car, backpack, wherever - this makes them easy to travel with, and makes them a GREAT addition for fun and unexpected quickies!
- As I said, not just for couples! While the ring IS great for couples, it can be used solo, if you put it around a dildo. This can make solo play more exciting, and give an extra kick to certain toys you might already have!

Overall, I think this kit is great! I'm not just saying that because it's free (though I do love that)! Even for purchase, I think it's an easy and convenient buy, and the price is fair. If you, or a friend, are new to the world of toys, this is a nice place to start. All of the items have multiple uses (yes, even the ring), and they are all travel-friendly! This makes a nice on-the-go sex kit!
