My verdict

The Durex Intense Vibration Ring delivers on its promises: a firmer erection paired with satisfying vibrations that work for both partners. The rumbly-pulse vibes add a deeper, more pleasurable sensation, especially for clitoral or external stimulation. That said, it might not hit the mark for those craving intense, knock-your-socks-off power. It’s a great choice for couples and beginners looking to dip their toes into the world of vibrating toys. While the short battery life and disposable nature mean it’s more of an occasional treat than a daily go-to, its ease of use, comfortable fit, and surprisingly strong vibrations for its size more than makeup for it.

Pros

Powerful vibrations for its size, with a satisfying rumbly-pulse sensation.
Stretchy, body-safe silicone ensures a comfortable and secure fit.
Compact and lightweight, easy to use.
Enhances erection firmness while delivering stimulation to both partners.

Cons

No option to replace the battery, meaning once it’s done, it’s done.
Vibrations may not suit those who prefer stronger buzzy sensations.
Although its very stretchy, the fit may be too tight for some users.
Durability could be better, especially compared to Durex's non-vibrating Pleasure Ring.

Design

Durex keeps things simple, and honestly, I’m NOT mad about it. This ring is soft, stretchy, and somewhere between budget and boujee. It’s not the fanciest thing ever, but it’s sturdy enough to keep you in the moment without worrying about it snapping. The design is quite clever with little divots-like holes and dots placed around the circumference of the ring, which helps keep the ring in place. The removable motor/battery pack slips securely into an embossed spot on the ring which has raised bumps.

Experience

This little ring packs a surprising punch. The vibrations are intense without being overwhelming, striking a nice balance between stimulation and comfort. When positioned correctly, it’s a win-win for both partners: the wearer enjoys added firmness and prolonged performance which gets the blood flowing....literally, while the receiver gets targeted stimulation. The ring delivers vibrations that are generally light to medium in intensity with a rumbly-pulse rather than a high-pitched, buzzy feel. So, if you prefer gentle but steady stimulation rather than an overpowering or intensely sharp sensations, this ring is for you. The buzz on the ring feels evenly distributed for the most part, but it does have a "sweet spot" which you find as you using the ring. You can basically use this ring any way you feel like, different angles, positions, or even solo play. The ring also has raised bumps on it shaped like a butterfly which you may assume is there for the aesthetics but it actually has a function. Position the butterfly to brush against the clit or flip it to target the base of the penis to double the pleasure hit. As for noise, it’s discreet enough for most settings. In a completely silent room, you might catch a faint hum, but nothing loud enough to break the mood. The 20-minute battery life can feel like a bit of a countdown, so you'll want to ensure everything's primed and ready before you hit the 'on' button. That said, if the battery calls it quits, the ring isn’t entirely out of the game. It still works brilliantly as a standard option to keep you harder for longer or even as a clever scrotal loop to help delay the grand finale.

Performance

The toy itself, it lives up to most of what it promises. The vibrations are stronger than you'd expect for its size, with a rumbly pulse that adds a nice kick without veering into buzzy territory. It's comfortable, easy to slip on and doesn't have that sticky residual feel. That said, the short battery life might leave you wishing for a little more, especially if you’re mid-session and it suddenly gives up. But hey, for a disposable vibe, it does the job impressively well while it lasts.

Materials and care

The ring is made of soft, silicone that’s gentle on sensitive skin. It’s waterproof, which makes cleaning easy—just pop out the vibrating bullet, rinse the ring with warm soapy water, and pat dry. A word of caution: the battery compartment isn’t washable, so if its not dead yet, its best to pop it out and keep it in a safe place during wash up.

Packaging

In true Durex fashion, the packaging is sleek, discreet, and totally on-brand. The box is compact and dressed in bold, dark colors that give off a subtle sex appeal without screaming "bedroom toy." Inside, the ring is sealed in a mini plastic pouch, with one side transparent and the other a shiny silver. It’s practical, hygienic, and just as easy to rip open as it is to get things started. No fumbling, no unnecessary layers—just straight to the fun part.

Price

At around $15–$20, the Durex Intense Vibration Ring sits in the mid-range price category. It’s more expensive than other basic rings, but you’re paying for the added functionality of vibrations. Considering its single-use battery, it may not be the most economical choice for regular play, but for a special night, it’s worth the splurge.

  • PlusOne Dual Vibrating Massager: Double The Pleasure

    The PlusOne Dual Vibrating Massager offers solid dual stimulation with varied vibrations and a design that feels intuitive and body-conscious. However, it’s not without its quirks. The length of the internal arm may not suit everyone, and the lack of remote control can interrupt the experience and flow of things. While it provides targeted sensations to the clit and operates quietly, it might not be powerful enough for those craving more intense vibrations. That said, it’s a fantastic choice for beginners or anyone looking for a versatile, no-frills toy that won’t break the bank.

  • The Ring of Pleasure

    The Durex Pleasure Ring is a simple, affordable way to enhance pleasure and prolong intimacy. Designed to maintain firmer erections for longer, it delivers on its promise of enhancing sensations for both partners. However, it’s not without limitations—its snug fit may not suit everyone, and the limited-use nature of the ring might deter eco-conscious buyers. That said, its ease of use, affordability, and effectiveness make it a fantastic choice for couples looking to add a little extra zing to their bedroom repertoire. In the end, it lives up to its promise as an affordable, entry-level sex aid, but it doesn’t quite exceed expectations for those seeking premium features or longevity.

  • Pleasure On-the-Go

    The PlusOne On-The-Go Travel Vibrator surprised me in all the best ways. While it is very small, it churns out varied vibrations with just a touch of a button. The exterior is a bit of a hit and miss, the tip is somehow very soft but the rest of the device feels a little tacky or plastic-like. The glide on the skin is a little "jerky" so lube is needed. The vibrator is also waterproof, battery operated and mostly directed towards external use (although some shallow internal use is possible). While I loved its portability and performance, the motor is slightly noisy—kicking out the possibility of being discreet in use, but it lives up to its name and is definitely an on-the-go travel bullet.

  • Foreplay Flutters

    After giving the PlusOne Fluttering Arouser a solid try, I’d say it’s a fun tease. The standout feature for me was the realistic flicking tongue—it’s definitely unique—and thoughtful design comes in a close second. The varied vibration modes and 'licking patterns' are enjoyable, but some of the modes felt a bit repetitive, leaving me bored instead of locked in. That said, with some patience and effort (especially on the higher settings), it can get the job done—so if you want to put in the extra effort you can get to the finish line. The toy scores points for being quiet, easy to handle, and a breeze to clean and care for. I also love its versatility—it’s waterproof, the controls are straightforward, and the charging setup is refreshingly simple (no finger gymnastics required). However, as a standalone clitoral stimulator or vibrator, it doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. It’s more of a teasing, foreplay kind of toy, which worked well during partnered play and alongside other toys. But as a solo act? It falls a bit short in delivering that ultimate satisfaction.

    Tingon M1: A Motorcycle for Your Hog

    Ever wondered what it’d feel like to strap a motorcycle engine to your manhood? Well, saddle up because the M1 from Tingon is about to take you for a ride. This isn’t your average bedside gadget; it’s a mechanical fever dream packed into a device that looks like it was designed by someone who builds café racers in their spare time. Let’s talk movement, because the M1 isn’t just here to look cool. It offers single-direction rotation and a retracting stroke motion that pulls back like it’s revving for another pass. It’s not just motion…it’s mechanical choreography! Visually, this thing’s a trip. With those motorcycle-style handles and ergonomic build, it honestly wouldn’t look out of place in a Mad Max garage. It’s a strange little marvel, and once you get your hands on it, you might find yourself tempted to yell “vroom vroom” just for the full effect.

    ZOLO BJ Blaster Review

    The ZOLO BJ Blaster is a toy that is incredibly easy to use, the automatic thrusting has high max speeds as well as some intriguing patterns, but leaves me hoping for more thrust distance and power. The sleeve is satisfying but isn’t very dense, which unfortunately makes it not as satisfying as it could be with a more enveloping texture. The outer casing and inner sleeve both feel of mid-tier quality, this is especially noticeable regarding the inner sleeve. The lack of intensity is made up for by the speed of the thrust, I mean this thing really moves! Manipulating the thrust via the pressure trigger allows for superior control and faster speeds as well as less resistance for those who prefer a more intense experience.

    Fleshlight Go Torque Ice, a compact but still roomy option

    The Fleshlight Go Torque comes in a slightly smaller size compared to the full size Fleshlight series. Not as compact as the Quickshot, but right in-between to provide a Goldilocks size (for most). Overall this is a great option for those not wanting to store a full sized Fleshlight but at the same time not wanting to limit the experience (or size accommodation) as the Quickshot series. Easy to prep/use, fun experience, easy to clean/store. The transparent design adds some fun!

    Fleshlight Boost Blow Review

    The Boost Blow is, like, supposed to give you an oral experience, brought to you by Fleshlight. It’s not based on anyone, just some regular lips, teeth, and a tongue. But, whatever, the real action’s on the inside. That’s where things actually get… interesting.

    Tenga Flex -Great Beginner Toy

    The Tenga Flex in my opinion is a great beginners toy. I myself had only used one other sex toy prior to this one and I can confidently say the difference was night and day. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and definitely fun to use. My only real issue with the toy is how loud it is during use. At the top of the toy there is a little hole that when covered is supposed to mimic a suction feel, which in my opinion it didn't really make a difference, but when that hole is not covered there is a decently loud whooshing noise that come when using the toy. To some that may not be a problem but for those looking for discretion, this may not be the one for you. Another thing for me personally is the lack of visual appeal. The penis insert is just a white silicon hole, now for most that's not an issue but me personally I like the visual aspect of a toy.

    Eiyo no Meiki Arina Hashimoto - Test & Review

    The Eiyo no Meiki Arina Hashimoto performs extremely well, it’s made of high quality materials with a triple layer hole construction which I haven’t really experienced yet but it’s definitely a great experience. Each layer is designed with intent and purpose, it envelopes while also providing a satisfying experience due to how the internal texture is designed. The cleaning is tedious because of the closed-end design, it’s also a fairly tight toy so it’s hard to reach to pat it dry before air drying. If you’re into Japanese AV and like Arina or just want to try a unique toy with fantastic qualities then I highly recommend this toy!

    TENGA ARTE WEAVE

    One of the mini masturbators in the Tenga Arte line, the company’s WEAVE male jerker offer is fluffy and stretchy, perfect for encasing one’s erection and delivering all the extra stimulation for getting the job done. A thick cap-of-sleeve (bigger guys are only going to get so much of themselves into this thing) the chunky thick texture of the Weave offers whatever you want by fitting comfortably around your dick and offering as tight or as loose a tug as you manage with how tightly you squeeze. The Weave offers a more luxurious knitted pattern sensation than the other TENGA ARTE toys. It features a clear outer tube and inside sensation nubs rendered in what the company calls dual overlapping layers of "elastomer." Easy to clean by turning the Weave inside out and washing it, TENGA packages the thing with a unique and completely hygienic drying stand. If one is looking to add just that extra little bit of magic to one's solo tickling and doesn't like motorized vibes or big bad Fleshlights, this little TENGA wonder is for you.
