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.

    The Maia Piper is offers a flow of unlimited possibilities!

    The Maia Piper Vibrating Self-Heating suction Silicone Vibrator is a riot. The suction and vibration create an intense sensation that is pleasurable that sort of mimics a blowjob, which is even more convincing when used with lots of lube and the heating function. The soft inner texture included in the internal canal shape really helps it generate a decent level of suction against your member- even at my average size of 4.7 inches length and above-average girth, I had some room and comfortably fit in the sleeve. The independently controllable 15 levels of vibration X 3 Heat Levels X 5 Suction levels keep things fresh and interesting, they offer pulsating and fluctuating patterns that feel good. The independent control offers you the freedom to explore and discover what you like. With the right setting(s), you can get off easily and repeatedly. The Maia Piper is well built, solid and not too heavy at 1.1 LBs with an ergonomic shape. It has soft silicone internals and it's waterproof/submergable, making it suitable for shower use. It is definitely a cut above other similar vibration sleeve strokers. Maia Piper does get fairly loud when you turn on the vibration. The suction can make slurping and gurgling noises if you don't hold it close to you pelvic bone or wait long enough to generate a vacuum on your cock. Not a problem if you have the fan on, or using it in the shower or simply live alone. Cleaning does require a little bit more attention to clean because you have to run the sleeve under a faucet with the suction activated to rinse out lube or cum from the air-recirculation holes. It takes about 1-2 minutes to ensure it's completely clean. The toy is rather big measuring at 11.5” long, 3.2” thick x 4.5” wide, so you have to sit, stand or lie down when using it and constantly have a hand to prop it on your junk. If you don't mind a bit of extra cleaning and a tad bit of noise, the Maia Piper offers a lot of pleasurable possibilities-go for it!

    Lovense Max 2: A Fun Time for 2

    The Lovense Max 2 puts a spin on strokers. This toy contracts around your dick with air to recreate the pulsating walls of an actual vagina/mouth. This creates a tight feeling that can get pretty intense sometimes. The toy also vibrates, which can feel incredible if you're looking for that feeling. The toy is pretty simple to control, but you can take it to the next level by letting a partner control it for you via the Lovense app. Some people might not like the tightest settings of this toy, and people looking for an "automatic" stroking experience should look elsewhere.

    LUX Active® First Class Rotating Masturbator Cup Review

    From Lux comes a motorized masturbator sure to twirl you into cock-addicting spins of pleasure. This First Class Rotating Masturbator Cup has a budded, lip-shaped opening, featuring soft nubs beyond and inside the sleeve, and has easy-to-tickle buttons on its base to start the masturbator moving in various ways and at various speeds. Easily rechargeable from any USB port, the unit is up and ready to love you in no time and will stay as ready for a good hour-long session (although once inside the Lux, you won't last that long, to be sure!) Easily cleaned, and drying quickly, this perfectly sized toy for both your hand and dick is one of the best little wands for this price that you are going to find. Motorized cock masturbators can be intimidating in size, when flicked to full speed, in just how quickly they can get you off, while not always delivering the most nuanced pleasure session. With the LUX active® First Class Rotating Masturbator Cup you determine how fast and what direction you want the toy to go, making this powered session one you control on every level. Light enough not to give you carpal tunnel and sturdy enough to deliver and not wear out, and at a price that won't bother your budget, you really are treated first class with this powered head twirler.

    Fleshlights Cream from Autumn Falls: A Sweet Treat!

    The Autumn Falls Cream is easily one of my top-tier Fleshlights, and for good reason. Designed to replicate the experience of being with the famously curvy and sultry Latina star herself, this sleeve doesn’t just look the part, it feels like a full-on encounter. The “Cream” texture is no joke. Internally, it’s a rollercoaster of varying tightness, with certain chambers getting so snug it genuinely feels like your little soldier is being lovingly wrung out. It’s intense in all the right ways, borderline overwhelming at times, but in a way that keeps you coming back for more. The tight spots deliver this pressure that almost defies logic, and if you’re into sleeves that grip like they’ve got something to prove, this one absolutely delivers. Whether you’re here for the fantasy or the ferocity of the sensation, the Autumn Falls Cream doesn’t disappoint. It’s not just a toy; it’s a full-on experience in a hard case.
