Maximus 10 Stroker Beads Enhancement Vibrating Cock Ring

I was dubious when we received this in the post as a free tester item from Lovehoney. We had a cock ring years ago and was one of the first toys we bought when we decided to start spicing things up. This is nothing like that cheap piece of tat we once owned.

When you open the box you are greeted with a slightly larger and heavier than first imagined toy. The bullet vibe in the top quite weighty but not overly so. The two sets of rings are small but accommodating. They stretch comfortably up to about three inches in diameter around the base of the shaft and double that around the testicles if needed. The kit included 3 extra batteries for when the ones in the toy run out. We have used it more than half a dozen times and ours are still going strong.

The texture of the balls in the rings is an interesting sensation that can feel great if you get it in the right place. Gently caressing and coaxing you to an even harder erection (at least in my case). The front of the bullet vibe has pointy but soft bobbles to stimulate and massage the clitoral area, with one large central lobe to really caress the clit. It's not an exact science but when you get it right, it feels really good. I would say that like most toys, it does feel better with plenty of lube as the material seems quite porous to begin with.

The best bit by far though is how powerful the vibrations are from such a tiny bullet. I was surprised how much it kicked out once you turn it on. It wasn't until after our first session with it that when I went to turn it off found out that there were actually 2 even more intense settings making 3 in total. For us, the strongest is a bit much and ends up half stimulation, half tickling but then if that's what you're into then you may like it.

I found the best course of action was, once I was inside my partner, to just lightly thrust, never really letting the cock ring leave my wife's clit. Only when she is close to really start thrusting and sending her over the edge. It really seemed to do the trick as my wife, like a lot of women, really only cums through clitoral stimulation. So this toy was win-win for us. And once you get the hang of what works best, will lead to some great orgasms.

This ring looks quite intimidating when you first get it out of the box.

The bullet is in a separate pack and comes with 2 sets of batteries so you don't have to worry about it running out of vibrations too soon.

Putting the bullet into the holder on the ring was a little tricky and I did accidentally turn it on a few times before I got it in place.

When all put together the ring has a sturdy yet light feel and holds it's shape.

When you're ready it is easy to put on. The loops are very stretchy and easy to position. The five metal balls in each ring are cushioned by the ring structure leaving just enough pressure that can be felt without being uncomfortable. You can wear this for the duration of 'play time' without feeling the need to remove it.

Turning on the vibrations is a simple press of the switch on the end. There are 3 vibration setting which you circle through by pressing the button each intensifying on the last.

Coupled with the balls it's a nice feeling which adds a little something during play.

The nibs on the bullet case are designed to pleasure your partner but getting them into the right position requires you to be pushed right up against her and limits the positions.

Vibrations also turn your shaft into a vibrator but with less intensity. My partner said it didn't really add anything for her and even tickled her at times.

Turning the vibrations off still leaves this as a very good cock ring which helps keep you harder for longer without getting in the way.

Using this in solo play doubled up with a stroker gives a whole new sensation that turns a simple stroker into a much more exciting play time.

The box this comes in is much bigger than the product, I would add a Lovehoney Small Satin Drawstring Toy Bag to keep it clean and safe if like me you store toys in your bedside drawer.
