Review

Different kind of product... different kind of review. For the Lelo Bo, a high-end vibrating cock ring (or, as Lelo describes it, a Pleasure Object), I am going to break the review down into three different parts. Ready? Here we go:

PACKAGING:
Phenomenal and unprecedented in the sex toy business. The packaging is both classy and attractive and would make an amazing birthday or holiday present for someone special. (As in, someone special enough to give a vibrating cock ring to.) The box looks like it would contain a nice watch or high-end cologne. The top of the box merely features the words "LELO Homme," and when you open it the cock ring is nestled inside a nice purple case with the plug-in charger underneath. Truly a wet dream for design queens.

USE:
I opened the Lelo Bo with all the excitement of a horny little kid on Christmas morning; the package teased that something special was inside. Unlike other sex toys which are often encased in hard plastic or arrive in a flimsy box, this toy looked like the Cartier of sex toys. But sadly packaging alone does not make me cum, so after I opened it up, I removed the purple cock ring and gave it a good look. The ring looked simple enough - a stretchable rubber ring and a unit that vibrates. The difference is that instead of requiring batteries, this is a rechargeable unit with an electrical charger enclosed. Happily the Lelo Bo arrived already charged so I was in business. I was going to test this toy solo, although I've used and really enjoyed vibrating cock rings with compliant bottoms in the past. At first I thought that there was no way I was going to stretch it to go around my cock and balls and I thought if I did, it might be way too tight for enjoyment. So I started with the cock ring on my penis only. I lubed both the toy and my cock and it slid easily to the base of my hard dick.

You can either snap the charger in fully for a continuous vibration, or halfway in and manually turn it on and off.) I started with the latter and began stroking. The toy enlarged my cock a bit and the downward strokes caused the vibrations to hit my balls in a really pleasurable way. But I was still curious about The Full Monty - around "everything" for the full-on effect. So I stretched the toy to what I thought would be its breaking point and began to put it around my cock and balls. It actually went around surprisingly easy and felt great when in place; it was not too tight at all. My dick immediately became engorged and purple. (Admittedly the only time my cock looks angry and menacing is when I wear a cock ring.) I slipped it on "continuous vibrate" and began to stroke away. I am a sucker for new toys and quickly came in a frenzied sweat. Boy, was this toy great! The moment was over however and I wanted to take it off, but pushing the top to turn the vibrations off was not so easy, especially with slippery hands - this was the only downside. I finally turned it off, re-stretched it and reluctantly took the Lelo Bo from my cock and balls.

The Lelo Bo a great cock ring and one that I think would work even better with a partner. But is it better than say the Colt Vibrating Cock Ring, which costs a helluva lot less? The Colt toy snaps around everything and vibrates just as effectively. But the Lelo Bo is much classier - think of the two as the ball-squeezing equivalent to beer and champagne. My only concern is if the Lelo Bo can last in the long run and not break. It needs to remain operational since I plan to bequeath it to my nephew after I die - did you see the price?

PRICE:
Wow - with an MSRP of nearly eighty bucks, the Lelo Bo is not only the most expensive cock ring we sell, the 2nd most-expensive one we offer is less than half the price of this thing. Is it worth the price? The packaging is first-class and would make a very impressive gift, and the toy seems durable and is the only vibrating cock ring on the market that is rechargeable - and that charge lasts for hours. But does a Rolex tell time any better than a Timex? That one's up to you, my friends.
