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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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.

    The ring only goes around the shaft, the boys have to be left out of this one. Considering they not in the loop it still gives that xxxtra push you need. For a ring that looks so simple it is seriously fun! Try lubing it and gliding it up and down *hand job ok sterioidzs ;)

    Does it only go around the shaft or are "the boys" included? Looks interestingly fun!

  • PlusOne Dual Vibrating Massager: Double The Pleasure

    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!

    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

    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.

    Fleshlight's Violet Myers Waifu - A Balanced Design

    Fleshlight's Violet Myers Waifu offers a nice blended design of intensity and endurance. I never felt it was too tight and yet I still found it intense at times. This sleeve offers the ability to prolong your session or speed it up depending on how you use it (and how much lubricant you use). It's a versatile design and a fun experience. I liked the fact that this design offers a bit more room (not being as tight) and yet still provides an awesome orgasm.

    Sculpted Realism with a Softer Touch for your slower days - Main Squeeze Katrina Jade

    The Main Squeeze Katrina Jade is a well-crafted stroker with a beautifully sculpted orifice and a mellow, teasing texture that makes it perfect for slower, edging-focused sessions. Easy to customize with squeeze plates and offering a realistic feel in Ultraskyn, this toy is best suited for those who want steady stimulation and a more drawn-out build rather than an intense, overwhelming ride.

    Toycod - Usagi Review: The Rabbit Ear Cock

    The Toycod Usagi (Japanese for "rabbit") is clearly designed with shared pleasure in mind. Its soft silicone rabbit ears sit at the tip and are perfect for clitoral, nipple, or glans stimulation. The vibrations felt are strong and rumbly, delivering solid external stimulation without feeling too buzzy. When compared to other cock rings on the market, the clasp-style design makes it incredibly easy to attach or remove, even when you're not fully erect and can be adjusted for different levels of pressure. This is a user-friendly and comfortable cock ring that's suitable for use solo or with a partner. Whilst its missing features like app control, the included remote ensures that you do not need to fumble around with pressing buttons on the toy itself during play and overall considering its price point it is a much more stimulating and engaging alternative to simple silicone rings.

    Ring Stroker Review

    The Ring Stroker Vibrators are indeed an innovative product, which some people like and others do not. Although it has some redeeming qualities, in several areas, it lacks. Hence, I rate it 2.5 out of 5. The outlook for the Ring Stroker Vibrator is somewhat appealing. Sleek, this silicone exterior is externally attractive and easy to hold due to its grip. The vibration patterns are impressive and several, offering a range of variety for different tastes. Other strong points are that this toy is waterproof, meaning it is easy to clean and may be used in the shower or bathtub. On the other hand, however, the performance of the Ring Stroker Vibrator leaves much to be desired. The vibrations, though varied, are not that strong, which for some users is a disappointment. The silicone material is soft and smooth to the touch, but it does tend to hold dust and lint, meaning the toy will require frequent cleaning. One of the downsides of the Ring Stroker Vibrator has to do with noise. Even on the lowest vibration setting, it can be pretty loud, which could be an issue if discretion is desired. Another drawback has to do with the battery life; it does not stay that long and needs frequent recharging. The other bone of contention is the packaging for the Ring Stroker Vibrator. While the box itself is sleek in appearance and informational, it does very little to protect the product that comes out. The material on this silicone is rather delicate, and this makes most users get an already damaged or scratched product at delivery. Summarizing, this Ring Stroker Vibrator is something combined. While the design of the toy is good and has attractive vibration patterns, it is very disappointing in regard to performance, noise level, and battery life. Because of that, it deserves only 2.5 out of 5 stars from my judgment.

    Getting Up Close and Personal With Reya Sunshine

    Getting up close and personal with model/exotic dancer/content creator Reya Sunshine, the FeelReya masturbating sleeve from Kiiroo allows any man a co-starring role in all the scenes they want with the fetching dark-haired beauty. Well, at the very least with her famous pussy. Fashioned after the XBIZ 2021 XBIZ "Clip Artist of the Year" award winner, this sleeve-in-sturdy case allows for the very best in personal stroking, that won't let you down....in more ways than one. Wonder no more what it feels like to fuck an adult star, as you fit yourself into this tighter-than-tight jerk-off toy, sure to leave you satisfied every time you use it. And as easy to clean as the Reya is, you can use the pumper whenever the mood strikes (or strokes). Not that every man will fit the full 7-inch length of this masturbatory sleeve, but once in, anybody is going to push in nice and tight, as Reya, who can be very demanding, and Dom actually, wants you to get up close, personal and give her some deep dicking. Designed to be used with other Kiiroo products like the automatic masturbator Keon and PowerBlow you can even up Reya's game in ways that just your solo, normal pumping won't allow. Another in the long line of high end quality sleeves based on real life stars, the price her won't kill you and the product will last a long time. But then again, you'll never get tired of sweet Reya.

  • Bellesa Pebble: The BEST Suction Toy I’ve Ever Tried

    Bellesa Pebble: The BEST Suction Toy I’ve Ever Tried

    The Bellesa Pebble is truly my favorite toy of all time. It’s compact, powerful, easy to use, easy to charge, perfect for partnered sex, and is all around the best friend you could have. The toy is a clitoral vibrator that uses pulsing suction to stimulate. It has an optional vibrating feature that works alongside the suction, adding a dimension to the toy’s sensations. It’s a relatively small toy, fitting easily in the palm of your hand. It comes in a discrete storage case that serves as a travel case, stores the toy while not in use, and allows you to charge it. It’s perfect for anyone who needs to be subtle with their sex toys or who travels. I’ve sworn by this toy since I bought it three years ago. Though I have had to replace it twice, roughly once a year, since I purchased it. This could totally be because I use it nearly every other day, sometimes several times a day–which I understand sounds ridiculous, but it is that good of a toy. It could be a quality issue, and we will discuss quality later, but I did not make this toy’s life easy.

    Fleshlight's Kendra Sunderland - Succubus Review: A Smooth Ride!

    This sex toy from Fleshlight is a welcome addition to my collection! The design team did a great job with this toy. Fans of Kendra Sunderland are sure to love this one. I wasn't too familiar with the pornstar, but I really loved this Fleshlight! I would describe it as "smooth", there wasn't much resistance when slipping in. Other pocket pussies have some suction or pushback, but this toy lacked those features. That's not a bad thing, though! For me, it's a "flavor of the week" type of thing. I loved using this toy and it was so much fun to push myself into it as fast as possible!
