My Verdict

The We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring offers a whole host of play possibilities, however, personally, I was left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. It not only comes with a remote control, but can also be operated via your mobile phone, or even a partner's phone wherever they are in the world. Unfortunately though, I found it underpowered and buzzing the wrong bits for me to get particularly excited by it. That said, as a way to add some mischief to an evening out, it can certainly give you a buzz.

About The We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring

The We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring is a Bluetooth enabled, remote controllable, vibrating cock ring, offering a variety of vibration patterns and power levels.

Personal Experience

My Personal Experiences with We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring

First Impressions

My first impressions were of a well presented, quality toy, that came nicely packaged and with thoughtful accessories, such as a remote control, charging cable, and storage pouch. It was discretely delivered, inside plain packaging, and inside was a nice box giving lots of information about the product. Inside, the ring is presented nicely upon a tray, under which you find the accessories and instructions. It all looked very nice and taking it out of the box, I noticed it have a nice silicone texture and a good quality feel and appearance.

Getting Going

Putting the ring on, I found it a bit tight, so added the extra spacer to the the ring.  This helped, but I could certainly see larger circumferences struggling to feel comfortable. The ring fits up against the body, behind the balls, with the body containing the vibrator tucked back towards the area of the perineum. Pressing the We-Vibe button, at the front of the toy, it sprung in to life and start buzzing. Pushing the button again, I was able to cycle through a range of patterns, some feeling more interesting than others. To try the remote, I made sure it was paired to the ring, following the instructions provided, and then started to try the different patterns and different power levels.

Together When Apart

One of the biggest draws of a toy like this is the ability to play with your partner when apart. Using the free We-Vibe app, you can add toys to your profile and share control with someone else, as long as your phone stays within Bluetooth range. This opens a host of opportunities, especially if used with other We-Vibe toys, maybe with each partner remotely controlling the other’s toy. This is very similar to those made by Lovense, although their various apps do allow for strangers to take control, if you choose. As far as I could tell, We-Vibe don’t offer this capability within their app.

Buzz Buzz

Taking the We-Vibe Bond vibrating cock ring for a thorough trial, I first ensured it was full charged, using the supplied magnetic USB charging cable. Once charged, it was time to put the ring to the test and see how much fun it could be. Unfortunately, this is where I was left feeling rather disappointed. No matter which pattern or power level was selected, I just didn’t find it particularly stimulating or exciting. Wanting to give it a fair chance, I tried moving it to different areas my cock, but alas to no avail, it just wasn’t doing ‘it’ for me. That’s not to say that other users would also be disappointed, indeed, I have seen plenty of positive experiences reported online, however for me and my body, it was something of a damp squib.

Design

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Design

The We-Vibe Bond is made from a nice quality silicone material, supplied with a thoughtful collection of accessories, all presented in a nice quality box, the general design of the We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring is good. However, the ring can be rather tight, even with the extension piece fitted, and, in my personal experience, it didn't really give me the buzz I had hoped for.

Ease of Use

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Ease of Use

In general, the We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring is easy to use. Putting it on requires a bit of care, to avoid pinching the skin or trapping any hair, but that aside, the basic operation is very straightforward. Likewise, charging the ring is easy with the supplied magnetic charger. The We-Vibe app is also pretty simple to use and fairly self explanatory. It certainly provides for a simple way to play together when apart, or to simply enjoy a more customised experience with the toy.

Quality

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Quality

The quality of the We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring is good. The only reason for not awarding a full 100 is the issue with the ring being rather tight, which will cause some purchasers problems. Furthermore, when in use, the vibrating does create a reasonable amount of noise, certainly enough to be noticeable by others.

Price

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Price

Compared to the Diamo from Lovense, the We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring is comparatively good value. Whilst there are cheaper alternatives available from places like Ali Express, in my experience they are of a far lower quality. This is a decent quality toy, offering true remote functionality and, as such, offers decent value for money.

Performance

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Performance

In my personal experience, the performance was rather mixed. On the plus side, it is well made, the remote control and app both functioned as expected, and it was easy to charge with the magnetic cable. However, when it came to providing me with a stimulating experience, I was less impressed with how it performed. As mentioned previously, maybe it's just due to my anatomy, maybe it's down to being battery powered, but I just didn't find the vibrations really did anything much for me. It was a shame, as I had high hopes for this toy and really wanted to be impressed by it.

Packaging

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Packaging

The We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring comes very well packaged in an attractive, sturdy box, which gives various information about the toy and provides a QR code to download the We-Vibe app. The supplied storage pouch was a nice inclusion and also of good quality.

Materials and care

We-Vibe Bond Vibrating Cock Ring Materials and care

The ring is primarily made from silicone, with some hard plastic employed where you join the ring together to wear it. This plastic can pinch if not careful when fitting the ring. Being silicone, and using a magnetic charger, the ring enjoys an IP rating of X7, meaning that it is waterproof, so washing it, or wearing it in the bath or shower is no problem. I don not believe that the remote control is waterproof though, due to the need to be able to open it to replace the battery when needed. Within the instructions, We-Vibe recommend cleaning the ring with warm water and a premium toy cleaner, then drying with a lint-free cloth, but I suspect just soap and water would suffice.

Qualified sports scientist and teacher, also worked as a photographer (published and exhibited) in a past life. Neuro-divergent – ASD and ADHD, both diagnosed late in life. Have been using various toys for about 30 years, including chastity, bondage, and e-stim for over 20 years. Love trying new toys and seeing what they can do. Have a wicked sense of humour, apparently, and enjoy nothing more than a good laugh, even if it does make me dizzy! I believe sex shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Have a laugh, have some fun, it’s good to play and tease someone!
