TOR II Review

The TOR II cock ring
I was sent the TOR II cock ring a while back to try out, I managed to get a chance to write a review over it as well. I chose to try out the TOR II because I had always wanted to try out a LELO brand cock ring. I have never gotten to try out the original TOR cock ring though, so unfortunately I can not compare the two. First off, I will say that getting things from LELO definitely feels like you are getting a luxury toy. The packaging is great, every LELO toy comes in a hard cardboard box. Though I do not keep my toys in the packaging, I always reuse the boxes to organize other things in my house – like office supplies or my sewing drawers. The packaging is black and completely discreet, it does say “LELO” on the top – but unless someone looks at it and knows what LELO is, they won’t know where the box came from. The TOR II comes with an extensive instruction manual in multiple languages.
The instruction manual is very helpful and the directions are easy to understand. It comes with a charger, because the TOR II is rechargeable. I love rechargeable toys because I hate creating battery waste. I have heard complaints about rechargeable batteries, about how they seem to lose power over time. I have not once noticed that with any of my rechargeable toys. It came with a LELO brand water based lubricant, my partner and I have not yet tried the lubricant. We already have a go to type of lubricant – so I usually keep the small packages I get as back up just in case we run out. Definitely be sure to stick to water based lubricants when using the TOR II. The TOR II is made of silicone, and if you use it with a silicone lubricant, you can risk damaging your toy. So be careful! The last thing that the TOR II comes packaged with is a silky storage bag, I do use the storage bag – it works great and keeps the toy safe and clean.
Here you can see the silk bag and charger that is included.
The first time my partner attempted to put the cock ring on, it failed. The cock ring is not very stretchy (at least to me, I felt like I had to tug hard on it to get it to stretch), so it makes it very hard to put on. We didn’t use any lubricant the first time which made it very hard to put on. The next time we tried, we made sure to use lubricant and that made it a bit easier to put on. As a cock ring, it is supposed to have a bit of a firm fit but it’s also not supposed to be uncomfortable or painful either. So be sure to remove it immediately if anything seems wrong. My partner did not really complain about it being too tight, just that it was a little bit of a pain to put on. We were more used to using rings that you either tied on or that had a lot more stretch to it. So this one was new to both of us.
As far as for me, it took a little bit to get used to. I enjoy having toys to play with during intercourse, but I usually go for little bullets that I can hold against myself. The Tor II has a square top, where the motor is located and that makes it harder than the rest of the ring. So it took a bit to get used to it rubbing up against me. I didn’t find it irritating at all, but I can be pretty darn sensitive at times so having it tap against me did feel a tad bit uncomfortable at times depending on what position that we were in.
I have used the toy a few times by myself as a vibrator. I am surprised by how powerful the motor is for a cock ring. It has 6 power settings and 6 different vibration patterns. I am guilty of being a traditionalist and usually sticking to the steady vibration setting on most of my toys. The patterns are fun during couple play or for a tease, but they aren’t good enough to get me there. So I usually use the steady vibrations if I am in need of release and don’t have time to play around.
I found the toy to be pretty quiet, a bit buzzy but I didn’t have any fear of my roommate hearing it through my bedroom door or anything. The battery life seems to last a very long time as well, I never left it on to test but I could use it and a few days later use it again and it still seem just as powerful. It is also very easy to clean, being silicone it is not porous. So I usually just clean mine with warm water and mild soap and then let it air dry.
All in all, I enjoyed the TOR II – not a toy I see my partner and I using often because unfortunately we don’t have time for long drawn out sessions often. Though it is still a toy that is fun to use here and there. The only other downside to it, is the toy is very pricey. I feel that it is worth the cost, but it isn’t something I could just buy myself any time. On a side note, I love the colors that the TOR II is available in, a gorgeous dark green, black, and a deep purple.

Day 1: Dom, sub, switch? What parts of BDSM interest you? Give us an interesting in-depth definition of what that means to you. Basically define your kinky self for us.
I actually answered this same question last year for Insatiable Desire. Well, for my F (short for fiance) and I we kind of have a slight switch from time to time – but we mostly stay in certain roles. Sadly, I have learned that “switch” relationships are looked down upon in the BDSM community. So at times I don’t like to admit that we have a “switch” type relationship. Though, the “switch” aspect happens rarely, because I am normally the submissive and my F is the dominant. I don’t feel comfortable taking on the dominant role at all, so it rarely happens. I do however enjoy being a submissive greatly, I love being able to let go of my control and put my trust in my F to take care of me the way he sees fit. I have a high pain tolerance, so I am fine with being punished by spankings or even having my breasts flogged – so punishment or discipline is also a part of our BDSM relationship.
We are not in a 24/7 relationship, I do have a “public” collar type necklace that I will wear from time to time out in public though. We aren’t exactly open about it, we keep much of our sexual and personal lives to ourselves. Which is part of the reason I have this blog, I love to talk about it – but I would rather talk about it in an open environment where I don’t have to worry about being judged for doing certain things I enjoy. In day to day life, I am naturally headstrong, opinionated, independent, and very dominant. So it’s great to be able to feel the release of control when I hand myself over to my F to take care of me. Recently we have been incorporating more discipline into our relationship as well which helps to keep me motivated. I’ve had to go on a special diet so if I don’t properly keep track like I should, I have to answer to my F for it. It’s the same with a couple of my other bad habits, though I admit it’s a little fun to let it slip from memory from time to time so I do get a swat on the tush.

I have had severe writer’s block for the longest time. Any suggestions?
Lately my job has taken up a big part of my life and I am close to graduating college so that can be a big distraction. I’m also working on planning my wedding – so I have been super busy!
