Ever wonder what happened to those boy bands after they break up? Well, it looks like one of them landed on the packaging for this vibrator kit! While it isn’t actually a long-lost backstreet boy, the packaging features a man and woman gazing into each other’s eyes on a bed sprinkled with red rose petals; a bit more romantic than a teenage love song.

Inside the packaging is a red jelly vibrator and matching cock ring, and six watch batteries for the ring (three of which are already loaded for you!) The vibrator takes two AA batteries (not included), which load from the base. As you unscrew the base, you’ll find printed instructions for loading the batteries (i.e. sliding them in plus side first) on paper which is somewhat reminiscent of a message in a bottle (message in a vibrator? Maybe in Pirates...) After inserting the batteries and screwing on the cap, you are good to go! Just turn the base to experience strong multi-speed vibrations for both the cock ring and the vibrator.

The vibrator itself is a gorgeous crimson color with a realistic head shape, and a few small veins running through out the shaft. It’s 8 inches in length (7 insertable) and about 5.5 inches in circumference. I ordered the vibrator because it is similar in measurement to my partner, and I wanted something that felt realistic without looking particularly realistic. I got it. Between the material, the shape, and the size, this vibrator is the closest I’ve found to feeling like a realistic penis without looking like one. The color helps, too.

For a vibrator, it’s pretty big so you will probably want to use a lot of lube. The packaging even recommends “liberal use of a water-based lubricant”. Since it is Jel-Lee, you need to use water-based lube. You should also use a condom due to the phthalates, and because jelly material cannot be sterilized. Therefore, you definitely need to use one if sharing (especially since the cock ring is excellent for sharing with a partner)!

To wash both you want to use warm water and soap, or a toy cleaner. The only real downside is that even after washing, the material seems to attract lint (and pet hair, eww!) like crazy. You seriously need to store this carefully after washing. For a jelly vibe, it really didn’t stink that much (unless you actually tried to sniff it, in which case you will get a slightly unpleasant whiff of the material; but not overwhelmingly so).

One odd thing about this vibrator is that at the very base there is a fabric/string loop, that isn’t quite big enough for my hand/wrist. I’m not entirely sure if you are supposed to slide your hand through there to hold on (in which case they should make the loop bigger and possibly adjustable), or if it makes for convenient hanging for storage (sex closet?). Other than the mystery loop, it’s great!

The cock ring works well for both personal and partner play. While it is quite pretty and feminine in appearance (a big red rose and flower vines down the sides), this is a surprisingly strong vibrator. It is strong enough for even the most macho of men to use. The cock ring slides onto the vibrator to allow for customizable clitoral stimulation, since it can be moved around and positioned to suit your needs (unlike most rabbits, which are attached to the vibrator). The cock ring can also be used on your partner during intercourse, with the benefit of added vibration. However, my partner and I have currently not gotten the chance to use it together as of yet. I will update this to reflect our findings. For personal use though, it is amazing. Together, the vibrations from the vibe and cock ring are quite marvelous and provide orgasm after orgasm. I easily had 3 or 4 orgasms with them my first use. They are also both water resistant, and work well in the shower (although you can’t take them in the bath or submerge them).

I’d recommend these for just about anyone who wants to enjoy a simple, strong, vibrator. The ease of use makes the kit wonderful for beginners, and the size is quite satisfying for even the most advanced users. You don’t have to have a male partner in order to enjoy the cock ring, since it is a wonderful addition to the vibrator for dual stimulation. Overall, this is easily going to become a staple in my collection.
