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 ;)

  • 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.

However, with only a $20 difference between it and the superior XT-5, the XT-5 is recommended for its stronger motor, more settings, and longer stroke length.

  • TENGA ARTE WEAVE

    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.

    TENGA Spinner Brick, a delightful pattern and experience

    The Tenga Spinner lineup is known for the unique twist action, something different from the usual inexpensive stroker toys. The Spinner 006 (Brick) has the distinct brick-like patterned design on the inside. Given its cheap price and ease of use (and cleanup), this a great go-to toy for someone looking for an entry-level toy or perhaps another toy to add to the collection that is unique from others. The fact that it comes with a drying stand at this price point is rather convenient. You won't be disappointed for the money spent, and perhaps might be surprised by the amount of pleasure experienced.

    plusOne Personal Stroker Review - A Sex Toy from Walgreens?

    It doesn't feel good enough using it before you cum, and the sensation is way too strong after you cum for me to completely enjoy. This leads to me rarely going out of my way to reach for this stroker. Even though it's easy to clean, it isn't worth the effort. I'd say to get this stroker if you want something really easy to clean and less extreme that won't overwhelm you (at least until you cum).

    Kiiroo FeelStar MelRose – Wide, Stimulating & Playfully Unique ✨

    I’ll be honest – MelRose didn’t shoot straight into my all-time favorites, but she definitely surprised me. This sleeve feels unique, playful, and constantly stimulating without ever being overwhelming. The wide fit gives you plenty of room, which makes it especially great if you’re above average in size, while the spiral bands and textured rings deliver a ride that’s distinct from anything else in my collection. The entrance looks fantastic (though not the easiest to slide into at first), and once you’re in, the pattern scratches in the best way possible. It’s not the kind of toy that forces you to climax instantly – instead, it plays with you, letting you decide whether to go for a quick finish or stretch it out into an edging marathon. Orgasms are always strong, thanks to that balance of stimulation and control. For me personally, it’s more of a reliable all-rounder than a “Top 3 must-have.” But that’s about preference. If you’re looking for something with a distinct feel, lots of stimulation, and a durable build, the Feel MelRose earns her place.

    Satisfyer Men Heat Vibration Penis Vibrator

    This is a fun toy that heats up AND vibrates! It's a nice toy that's completely waterproof, so you'll have the chance to use this toy in the shower. It's a nice, relaxing toy that'll vibrate on your penis and help you relax. It only sits at the end of your penis, so it won't exactly make you cum. It's a great toy for edging, but don't expect a mind-blowing orgasm with this toy.
