My Verdict
The Zero Tolerance Vibrating Ball Cradle, or as I like to to call it, The Testicle Tickler 9000, does exactly what its name says it does. The shape is meant to cradle your testicles, and provide buzzing vibrations to your tots. In this regard, it succeeds. There are 9 different modes to choose from, and honestly I actually really like the variety of vibration modes that are on this toy. The 7th vibration mode is very unique and was actually my favorite to use. But there are some issues with the toy that I'm not the biggest fan of. For one, it is quite difficult to get on. You have to insert your penis in to the top ring first down to the base of your shaft to get to your balls, which you then have to shove into the bottom ring. There is a lot of pinching and hair tugging in this process that makes it quite uncomfortable. And after that is keeping the toy in place, especially if you are the penetrating partner. These are some of the issues I'll get into more detail about later. Overall, the toy does what it says it will do, but I don't think I could justify the $90 price tag that comes along with it, and for that I have to give it a 3.5, and below you will find out why.

About The Zero Tolerance Vibrating Ball Cradle
The toy is covered in silicone and is made in such a way that it is easy to wash and sanitize. Win-win there. The toy is compact enough for travel, and even comes with a rechargeable remote that has a pretty good distance on it. There is a top and bottom cock ring that are meant to keep your balls in place, and a vibrating tail that can reach behind your balls and tickle your perineal area. The toy is not particularly weighty. The toy has a pretty decent magnetic charger that it comes with, but there is no brick included to plug into the wall.

Personal Experience
First Impressions
At first glance, this is an odd looking little toy. It made me think immediately of a large shrimp that vibrates. It was as weird to think that sentence as it was to write it here, but it was my first impression nonetheless. The toy is actually smaller than I expected, but was a welcome surprise as a bigger toy dangling from your boys down under would probably not be comfortable if it was much bigger than the toy actually is. The packaging is very basic, but accurately conveys the necessary information you might need to know about the toy.Using the Toy
Actually using the toy is a little bit tricky, and based on some other reviews I’ve found online, there are other penis-havers out there that echo this sentiment. You have to insert your penis in to the top ring first down to the base of your shaft to get to your balls. Then you have to basically bunch your balls up and shove them through the bottom ring. If you are not a hairless man this process is NOT fun, and there is a lot of tugging and pulling on your member that is not comfortable. It’s also difficult to keep the cock and ball rings from twisting into very uncomfortable shapes while trying to get the toy on, and if you didn’t shave before hand be prepared to lose a few hairs. Seriously, it was not the best experience. Once I did get the toy in place, it more or less stayed in place, but there are a lot of men out there with something called “retractile testicles”. As a man gets closer and closer to orgasm, many mens’ testicles will ascend in preparation for an orgasm and subsequent ejaculation. As this happens, you can imagine that it might be difficult to keep this toy in place. More over the toy is not particularly strong, and due to the natural design of a male’s testicles, the toy will sway back and forth just as much as your balls do; meaning that the toy will not always maintain consistent contact with you while in the midst of thrusting. Granted, I don’t think you would want strong rumbly sensations on your family jewels anyway, but the buzzing vibration kind of gets drowned out in the midst of other stimulation that occurs naturally in intercourse.Overall
As a supplement to your sex, the toy could be a fun addition to the bedroom whether playing alone or with a friend (or two). And, honestly this toy could be a tease to your partner in public as the vibrations are actually really quiet and the remote is actually quite functional. But, I don’t ever see this toy being the main attraction. The flexible nature of it, the soft silicone, and the toy’s ability to tickle your testicles are all fun. But, simply put, the toy isn’t stimulating enough to maintain my attention for long. I do want to point out a major bonus that I do really like, though. The toy comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, which is a god send for many folks that have a bad habit of buying toys for them only to break a month later. The fact that the company stands behind the functionality of their product is pretty incredible and is something that all manufacturers should do in my opinion. And if the toy was around the $30 mark I would say it was worth the cost to have as a fun little addition to slip on now and again. But at $90, I can think of a lot of other things that would bring me more pleasure than this toy.Design
For what the toy wants to do, I actually like the design. It is clever and makes it to where the vibrations are more or less where they need to be. It may look like a shrimp, but that's kind of the nature of a toy designed to reach behind your scrotum and tickle your perineal area. I don't know that I could recommend any additions to it. Maybe having a more sturdy middle that allows you to adjust the toy to where you need it, so that it could conform to your specific body shape? But that's all I could think of. Overall, I think this is an adequate design that more or less achieves what the manufacturer was aiming for.
Ease of Use
The toy is not the easiest to get on. You have to bunch your balls up to get them through the bottom ring which is not comfortable to say the least, and the silicone will pull your hairs if you are not shaved and will pinch in places. Once you figure out how to get it on, you can do so fairly quickly, but it's still not a pleasant experience overall and definitely requires both hands unless you have a willing partner to help you out. And then there is the risk the toy will fall off during thrusting if you are the giving partner. There are a few obstacles to overcome with this toy to use it, but they are not insurmountable by any means.
Quality
Speaking on pure quality alone, I think the toy actually excels here. The silicone is good quality, and the remote actually works and is rechargeable. Most toys that have a remote have very poor quality ones that rarely work as described. That is not the case with this toy, and it is nice to see a manufacturer put more effort into a remote that effectively operates the toy. I feel like the toy has a great construction, and the fact that the toy is backed by a five year replacement guarantee is icing on the cake.
Price
The toy is $90 on adultvibetoys.com, but is on sale for a Black Friday special at the time of this review for $54.99. Even at $55, I don't know that I would promote this toy. If it was $30 or so I would say it was worth it. But $55 is not cheap and I just don't know that I could say this toy brings enough to the table to justify that price tag, and certainly not at $90.
Performance
The toy is not stimulating enough for me to say that the toy performs as described. The packaging and advertising for the toy make claims like, "unleash your orgasmic potential" and "cradle your balls with erotic vibrations!". And while the toy does add a pleasurable sensation to your sex, I would hardly say it was "increasing orgasmic potential". I will say though that the toy operates very well, and I am actually quite impressed with the remote. Most manufacturers skimp on the remote, and it's bleeding obvious. But not here. I wish more manufacturers would take a note from Zero Tolerance and make a remote that actually works.
Packaging
The packaging is plain enough. It has pictures of the toy straddling a set of balls on a dildo from a few different angles that give you an idea of how the toy is meant to be worn. It's very informative, even giving specifications for the toy's size and weight and the expected distance the remote is meant to work. Overall, simple and informative.
Materials and care
The toy is silicone, and therefore should never be played with using silicone lubricants at the risk of damaging the toy. The remote is made from hard ABS plastic. Both are easily cleanable and rechargeable. I recommend using #toylife cleaner from Amazon. It gets the job done quickly and efficiently and it's cheap enough to boot at $10.39 for 8 oz, which will last you a good little while.
