My verdict

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.

Pros

Helps maintain a firmer erection for longer
Intensifies pleasure for both partners
Made of soft, stretchy, and body-safe silicone
Can be used with or without a condom
Waterproof, discreet and portable ready for any moment

Cons

Limited to only a couple of uses before losing elasticity
Not adjustable for a customized fit
Can snap if used with sleeves or overly stretched
Lacks premium features like vibrations or reusability

Design

The Durex Pleasure Ring is as straightforward as it gets. It has a sleek, minimalist design that prioritizes functionality over flair. The ring is smooth and slightly thicker than you might expect, which helps it stay securely in place. It comes in a neutral, semi-transparent gray tone, which feels less clinical and more appealing. I admit it doesn't scream “sexy,” but its unassuming look works in its favor—it’s non-intimidating and blends effortlessly into the moment.

Quality

For a product that costs less than a dinner for two, the Durex Pleasure Ring is surprisingly high-quality. The material is soft yet firm enough to do its job effectively without feeling uncomfortable. Despite its simplicity, I found that the material has a durable feel and can stretch out without feeling like its going to snap (common in most silicon rings). Durex advises a one time use only but you can push the boundaries if the toy is cleaned and stored properly.

Experience

The Durex Pleasure Ring strikes the perfect balance between intentional restriction and comfort (according to my partner). Just a heads up, though—those with a larger-than-average size might find it a bit too tight, so comfort can vary depending on individual fit. Overall, it’s tight enough to make a noticeable difference, which I felt almost immediately, but not so tight that it limits movement or becomes painful. The smooth exterior allows it to glide on effortlessly, and the stretchy material ensures no tugging or snagging. While lube isn’t absolutely necessary for putting it on, if you’re prone to irritation, I’d recommend using a bit to make the process smoother. In action, it delivers exactly what it promises. The snug fit helps prolong the experience while subtly introducing feel-good sensations, thanks to its gel-like texture. For guys, the added firmness builds gradually, enhancing pleasure for both partners. It stays securely in place, even during non-traditional positions (no rolling!). There’s no friction, stickiness, skin burn, or allergic reactions to worry about—a big win for those of us with sensitive skin. And here’s the fun part: while the ring is typically worn at the base of the penis, that’s not the only way to use it. You can experiment by positioning it mid-shaft or just below the glans (it surprisingly adapts to any position and provides the fit you need). We found that different placements can dial up the intensity, enhancing pleasure for both parties. You can also get a little creative by slipping it onto your fingers for some versatile play during fingering sessions. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you can also experiment with using more than one Durex Pleasure Ring for light BDSM sensory play. By placing them strategically (like around the base of the penis and mid-shaft), you can introduce a bit of restriction, heightening sensations and exploring power dynamics in a controlled and comfortable way. It's a simple and affordable way to dip your toes into sensory play without overcomplicating things. The waterproof design means you can even take the fun into the shower or bath—no need to hold back.

Performance

The Durex Pleasure Ring delivers on its promise to help you ‘go the extra mile.’ It’s as simple as it gets—no complicated instructions or awkward learning curve. Just open it up, slip it on, and you’re good to go. Once it’s on, you’ll definitely feel the difference. It keeps things at peak performance, boosting rigidity without any uncomfortable tightness or strangulation vibes. Bonus points for being condom-friendly, too. But fair warning: if you’re thinking of pairing it with thicker toys like sleeves, don’t (we tried and it snapped, unbearable ouch). On the flip side, the durability left a bit to be desired. While it’s marketed as a disposable ring, it can last up to 6 uses. However, I started to see a loss of elasticity by the fourth use, which felt a little disappointing, never the less this little baby did its job.

Materials and care

The Pleasure Ring is made from thick, soft, body-safe silicone that feels sturdy yet comfy. It’s super easy to clean—just rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use to keep it in tip-top shape. Steer clear of harsh toy cleaners and oil-based lubes, though—they can mess with the silicone and cut short its lifespan. Stick with water-based lubricants for a smooth, irritation-free ride and to get the most out of your ring.

Packaging

Durex keeps it simple and practical with their packaging. The ring comes in a compact, condom-style box that’s discreet and easy to slip into your bag or pocket. Inside, you’ll find the ring in a donut-shaped package that flips open for hassle-free access. It’s not exactly fancy, but it’s designed with functionality in mind—perfect for the product’s price and purpose. Plus, the packaging doubles as a handy spot to store the ring until it’s time to toss it.

Price

This rings is very reasonably priced, for a mere $8 -$10, the Durex Pleasure Ring exactly what it promises without overcomplicating things. For couples seeking a budget-friendly option to spice things up, it’s "hard" to go wrong here.

  • 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.

  • Durex Intense Vibrations Ring: A "Hard" Yes!

    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.

  • 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.

    Tenga Spinner 003 // Big Homie Kinda Approved

    It’s got a solid, unique idea, and it’s pretty affordable too, but the material and texture kinda bring it down a notch for me. The texture feels awesome at first, but it doesn’t dry easy, which is kinda annoying. The material is dope at first, but after like 15-20 uses, it starts to lose its edge. The spring feature? Actually works pretty well, adding a little spin on the downstroke—hell yeah! But honestly, it works best when you go slow.

    Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage Review: A Quick Burst of Pleasure

    Fleshlight is known for their huge emergency-grade flashlight-esque products. The Quickshot Vantage is something you might not expect from the brand. This tiny powerhouse is a transparent, open-ended sex toy. I'm here to tell you that it's just as powerful as its bigger sisters. The Quickshot Vantage was moderately intense. It's great for quick sessions where you're just itching to have that orgasm. If you want more nuanced play, then you won't find it here. If you've been waiting for an orgasm and you're ready to have it ASAP, then this is the toy for you.

    Lilith Fukumoto Fleshlight Review

    So, like, the Lilith Fukumoto Fantasy Fleshlight isn’t just some run-of-the-mill pocket rocket, alright? No, sir. Fleshlight really went full-on beast mode with this one…mixing wicked aesthetics with a super intricate design. It’s rocking just three chambers. Well, technically two, but whatever. Math is for nerds. And let me tell you, the textures? Holy crap. It’s like stepping into a freakin vortex of pleasure. So intense, I barely had time to say, “holy crap,” before I was blasting off. No doubt about it, I’m definitely taking this bad boy for another ride. Gosh!

    Rolling Along With the Rolling Tenga Cup: Strong

    "One and done," is what you get with the Rolling Tenga Vacuum Gyro Roller. But with that one-time-a whacking, your dick will be treated to a nice juicy tunnel and solid suction you can control, in this neat little handheld jerker-offer. The Tenga line is synonymous with masturbatory good times and this little beauty delivers, for a very good price, a basic 'hit it and quit it' orgasm, come as fast as you want to. Beyond the tight fit and solid ridges you push through in the sleeve, you can control the suction here by the hole at the tail end of the cup. What's also great about this nearly six-inch-long masturbatory device is that you can enhance your good time with any of Rolling Tenga Cups attachments; Tenga really does care about your good time, and they offer customizable possibilities to really blow your lid off. This little pre-lubed cup is ready to go, (although the lube does tend to ooze out the minute you pop the lid, so be careful). So have at it, get off, and move on. The world really is your Tenga jerk-it oyster!

    What can we say to a Sasha Grey fuck other than…fuck yeah! This 2 Fuckhole Masturbator, made of that super special, Phthalate-Free ULTRASKYN, gives you the very best of the smokey-eyed porn star, right in your hand. Really, who else should star in our naughty fantasies? With this Doc Johnson masturbator sleeve, one can get up close and personal with the mega-popular adult star, giving one’s all, into her two perfectly rendered holes, molded directly from the lady. Here is yet another in the Doc Johnson signature collection of pleasure toys that fitting perfectly in one’s hand. You can have Sasha’s plushy internal ribs squeeze you as tight as you want or just tease you with a soft tickle.

A healthy amount of lube will warm Sasha up perfectly for your scene with her and she’s ever easy to clean after you dump your load, just a little soap and water or a sex toy cleaner then leave her to dry. DJ even includes a packet of Refresh Powder for your first-time drying. Not more than 6.5 inches in length, and priced just right, pretty much Sasha can take all cummers. But then again, what else would you expect from this world-class star?
