Marital Aid Test Kitchen: 4US Vibrating Cock Ring

I've always wanted to venture into the realm of the vibrating cock ring, and the GoodVibes 4US, complete with clitoris-stimulating 'button,' seemed big, burly, and ready to take me away.

For me, it takes plenty of acrobatics and stamina to reach that elusive yet ever-so-gratifying sexual plateau. With this baby strapped to my sweetheart, I figured I could basically relax and enjoy the ride.

This is a pretty substantial cock ring—I'd liken it more to an ornamental cock bracelet—and is extremely easy to both put on and operate. It has a stretchy band at the base good for quick maneuvering, which allowed us to not really break stride mid-coitus to put it on, and has one button at the top to get the vibe going.

So we got it going, and it's feeling alright! But in basically any lively position the stretchy band would backfire, allowing for too much movement so that imperative clitoral button would miss its mark, frustratingly slipping in and out of place. Additionally, the bulkiness of the clitoral accoutrement sort of stifled the power of the vibrations. My gracious boyfriend also informed me after the fact that the whole apparatus got slightly painful from being ground into his abdomen in an uncomfortable way.

However, the adventure has a happy ending. In keeping with its easy-to-use style, the bullet vibrator can be swiftly removed (along with the ring itself). The bullet is very powerful for its small size, and with no bulky, shifting ring between us, I got very happy indeed.

So, it's not a total loss. Maybe with very careful positioning/thrusting other couples can go all the way with the 4US. For me, I'll just be hanging on to that silver bullet.
