Tenga SVR Review
By Carnal Queen.
Introducing CK’s new torture device to use on me, the Tenga SVR Smart Vibe Ring!
I’ve always been a fan of the concept of vibrating cock rings, but have never really found one to fall in love with. They’re often made from naff, porous TPR, have piss-poor vibrations, and work on silly cell batteries that annoy the shit out of me. Tenga have managed to reinvent the wheel with the SVR, because it’s silicone, has some pretty deep and pleasing vibrations, and is USB rechargeable … it’s looking good!
The Tenga SVR is a really neat little device. It’s covered in wonderfully soft silicone, and it comes with it’s own little storage case, it’s so cute! I love the case, it instantly makes the cock ring uber discreet. Some people might prefer a case large enough to house the usb charging cable, but that would significantly increase the size, so I’m glad they didn’t do that. The cable itself is pretty unique, the end that pushes into the cock ring is almost like a teeny tiny kettle plug. Don’t go losing the cable, because you’re not going to be able to try your sex toy cable stash, looking for a replacement!
A 60 minute charge will give you around 60 minutes of play, which isn’t bad. The first time I turned this little monster on, I was really surprised by the strength and depth of vibrations. There’s 5 speeds and two pulsing patterns, and not a single one of them is what I’d consider ‘weak’, which is unusual for many cock ring type toys. Don’t get me wrong, the lowest setting is gentle, if that’s your thing, but it’s not like an annoying mosquito, buzzing around pathetically. It’s waterproof up to half a metre too, despite the open-style charging port. You just need to be sure not to use the Tenga SVR under high pressure water, and when cleaning, to only use mild soap and tepid water. Tenga recommend the use of water-based lube only, to prevent damage to the material.
The manual and the Tenga website covers using the SVR as a finger vibrator. Now I’m going to be honest, and say that whilst the idea is good – a vibe that sits over your fingers to be used whilst masturbating or pleasuring your partner with your fingers – in practice, it’s not something I’d bother with. Vibration strengths are subjective, and in a multi-use toy, they need to be kept in context. For a cock ring, the SVR has some deep, rumbly vibrations, and that, coupled with the fantastic shape, makes for a very pleasurable experience. As a clit vibe, it works, but there would be others, like the Tango or Touch that I’d pick up to use first. For me, I just cannot compare this to any other vibrator, it wouldn’t be fair, but compared to other cock rings available, it’s amazing.
I touched there on the shape of the Tenga SVR, and for me, this is a really important factor. Other rings are often stubby and quite bulbous, resulting in a broad point of vibration, which often misses the clitoris during sex. The tall, upright nature of the SVR (6cm high, excluding the ring, and 2.5cm wide) solves this issue, and for me, it also means it’s much more comfortable when it makes contact with my body. I’m not a fan of the vibrations hitting me horizontally, and the motor bashing my labia, which is what usually happens with vibrating cock rings.
This ring gets me off every time, and it gets me off quickly, hence why I’ve dubbed it CK’s new torture device. Obviously position factors in, because different positions provide different contact, but it always works. With me on top, I’ll admit that I’m a pathetic mess. The way I thrust means that my clit is in contact with the SVR far more than any other position, and so far, I’ve not been able to continue in this position to get to CK’s climax. After numerous orgasms with me riding him and the SVR, I’m too exhausted and scrambled to continue to be in control, I have to move into a position which doesn’t require me to have any co-ordination! It’s not gonna beat me though, I will succeed, one day!
I adore using the SVR in missionary position too, because it gives me a little more time before I’m screaming and shaking my way through an orgasm. This is obviously because CK’s thrust gives me a little break as he pulls away. That said, he can still get me climaxing over and over before he lets himself go, and he does get called all sorts of names for doing it! I don’t usually like patterns on toys, but I do quite like them on the SVR, because again, it gives me a little break from the vibrations and varies them up, which in turn, slows me down. When I’m on all fours, if CK wears it as he normally would, I get some very interesting vibrations hitting my butt-hole, which is actually quite pleasurable, if not orgasmic. If he swings it around and wears it under his cock, with enough hip tilt from me, we get clitoral contact again, but I can control it, if it gets too much, by dropping my hips. I like this!
I love that the SVR is powerful enough to make his cock vibrate. Often, with vibrating cock rings, I don’t feel anything until he’s pushed himself totally inside me, and direct contact is made. The first time we used the SVR, I actually giggled as the tip of him touch my vulva, because I could feel him vibrating, and I wasn’t expecting to! The only negative I can really find about the cock ring, is the fact that I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a traditional, tight cock ring, to slow down ejaculation. It’s nice and stretchy, fits very snuggly around his cock and doesn’t move at all during sex, but it doesn’t provide that level of pressure and restriction associated with cock rings worn to delay. I have to say though, whilst that may be a negative for some, it’s a huge positive for me, because I don’t think I could survive delaying CK more, because that would mean more orgasms coming my way, and that would likely kill me!
I adore this Smart Ring, it’s unlike any other we’ve tried. I think I’m going to have to ration CK’s use of it though, just to give my body a rest! Tenga provided me with the Smart Ring SVR for free, in exchange for my feedback about it. This in no way alters my thoughts or experiences.
