I’m a simple man – I see an ad for a wearable cock ring that promises steamy public play and filthy orgasms and I simply can’t resist. That’s exactly what happened with this little gem; writing this We-Vibe Bond review for you is just a neat little bonus!

So, how good is the ring, really? Is it better for foreplay or can it get the job done on its own? Let’s find out, I’ve got all the dirty deets for you!

Bedroom Boding: A Few Words on We-Vibe Bond

This ring has a rather apt name. Though you can use it on your own, it’s really meant for couple’s play. Trust me, it’s gonna make your bond stronger than ever!

As a wearable and flexible ring, this model is lightweight and extra quiet. Therefore, you can easily have it on in public without anyone suspecting a thing. Plus, the only kind of pain it’ll cause is the one you’ll welcome!

Now, the ring has an adjustable fit, as you can switch between two sizes using the Custom Fit link. I knew I’d need the extra room immediately, as the regular size is definitely reserved for the less-endowed girth-wise.

That said, the shape is ergonomic and molds to your base beautifully. The toy is made of premium-quality silicone, so it’s silky soft and hypoallergenic.

You can take advantage of 10 vibration patterns and several intensities. Switching between them is easy. You can choose between manual, remote controller or app operation – simply pick the option that suits you best.

Features:

USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery
Made of ABS and body-safe silicone
3 x 1.7 x 1.9 inches in size
Whisper quiet motor
Wearable
Adjustable fit
Ergonomic shape
10 vibration patterns

Unwrapping My Present: First Impressions

Safely tucked into a discrete package, the Bond was delivered to my doorstep in record-breaking time. Though it was quite small, I was happy to see that the box contained a bunch of goodies:

The ring
Custom Fit link
Remote controller
Quick start guide
Safety instructions
Storage bag

Before I dive right into the ring (in every way imaginable), let’s talk about the rest of the gang. For starters, the storage bag is silky and of excellent quality – perfect for safe-keeping both at home and during trips.

I’m also glad We-Vibe included safety instructions, because, though it seems easy, using a cock ring isn’t a walk in the park. That is especially the case for newbies, who should read this guide from top to bottom.

And finally, the bit that I knew I’d need – the Fit Link. I saw that the ring would be too narrow for me from the get-go, so I inserted the link right away. The quick start guide was helpful here, as it has step-by-step instructions for the process. Everything is done in less than a minute and it’s really simple!

✍️ Richard Recommends: While most sex toys are one-size-fits-all, cock rings are special snowflakes. You’ll need them to fit you snuggly without causing (unwanted) pain and leaving you with the wrong kind of blue balls. If you’re not sure what your size is and how to pick a suitable ring, this guide will help!

Bonding Time

As for my buddy Bond, well, it was quite impressive! It’s much sleeker and more modern than it appears online and the ABS and silicone combo feels fantastic to the touch.

The ring is also super light, which made me excited to take it out for some sneaky public fun. No complaints so far!

We-Vibe Bond Review: Features

What does the Bond bring to the table? Let’s do a feature roundup – there’s loads to discuss!

Material and Feel

This ring combines ABS and silicone perfectly. The inner ring is all silicone, so your pecker will be all snug and comfy. The rest of the toy is all plastic and it looks and feels really sleek.

Now, don’t be discouraged about ABS – there is no smell and both the ring and remote look extra sturdy. I’ll have to see how it holds up with time, but so far, so good.

Vibrations

The 10 pre-set vibration patterns and intensities are quite neat and each one offers a new host of sensations to explore. Regardless of the mode, you should expect vibrations only, as there is no pulsing.

According to We-Vibe, the vibrations are suitable for anything from edging to stamina training and foreplay. You can switch between them via the app, your remote or the control button on the ring itself.

Control

Speaking of control options – each one is pretty reliable. As with most rings, using the control button is the safest way to go. The remote is a close second, though!

Now, the app is not bad per se, but it can glitch from time to time. Still, that’s the option that allows for long-distance play, so you’ll have to suck up some annoying connectivity issues every now and then.

Public and Long Distance Lovin’

Thanks to the app, your partner can control the ring from just a few steps or a thousand miles away – whatever works for you!

Connecting the toy to both the app and remote is easy and operation is equally effortless. The only difference is, the app gives you access to more features, so it gets a few points in that department.

As for wearing the ring for long periods, it’s totally comfortable. It’s also really discreet, so you won’t have to hide your groin area or feel self-conscious about people noticing. Plus, the motor is whisper-quiet, so you’ll be covered in that sense as well.

Waterproof Design

The Bond features IPX7 waterproofing, which is the best thing you can hope for if you’re a sucker for water play. You can shower and bath with the ring wrapped around you – and oh boy, should you!

This manufacturing choice also makes cleanup a breeze. Water, soap or a cleaner – the choice is yours.

Let’s Bond: Trying Out the We-Vibe Cock Ring

With the pleasantries out of the way, we can finally focus on the good stuff. How did the We-Vibe Bond feel, then?

Well, it depends on how you look at it. In terms of fit and design, it’s virtually perfect. I did have to use the additional link, but that’s why it’s there anyway. The material feels wonderful against the skin and the ergonomic shape ensures the toy isn’t visible once you’re dressed – perfect for staying undercover.

Now, the vibrations are where the issues start. Sure, they are varied and fun. However, none of them were strong enough to make me cum on my own. And yes, I know a ring doesn’t necessarily have to do that, but many that I’ve tested have!

That said, the ring is a godsend for slow and tantalizing edging – especially if it’s long-distance or remotely and your partner is holding the reins.

Scarlett had a grand ole time with it when we were out to dinner and, let me tell you, I barely made it out alive.

She also teased me endlessly when I was out of town visiting family and I can confirm this bad boy shrinks miles like nothing else! That said, the connectivity issues were definitely more frequent the bigger the distance, so that’s something to keep in mind.

The one wrench in our plans? The toy’s battery only lasts about 2 hours, so the fun has to stop sooner rather than later.

All in all, it’s a good one, especially if you’re a novice user looking for some spicy playtime.

Pros

Ergonomic fit that molds to your body
You can change the sizing
It’s fully waterproof
There are 10 vibration patterns
Made of body-safe, hypoallergenic materials
Remote control and app connectivity
Long-distance play
Extra quiet motor

Cons

App connectivity is spotty
If you’re especially wide, you’ll find it too small
Battery life could be longer
