The Ohnut Vibrating Ring Provides Pleasure to Penetrative Play

As each an allosexual (an individual who experiences sexual attraction) who enjoys intimacy and a sexuality skilled devoted to serving to individuals safely expertise as a lot pleasure as they will, you’ll be able to think about the enjoyment I felt after I first heard a couple of pleasure assist designed to assist make penetration attainable for individuals (like me!) who usually discover it painful: Ohnut Buffer Rings ($65).

Created by a firm by the identical title, Ohnut is a wearable pleasure assist that means that you can customise how deep a penis, dildo, or different toy goes inside your vaginal or anal canal. Offered as a collection of stretchy, stackable rings, pleasure-seekers can select how deeply they’d wish to be crammed by sliding the chosen variety of modular rings over the phallus-in-question. As soon as in place, the squishy assist acts as a bodily (however non-obtrusive) buffer between the receiver and penetrator (or penetrating toy).

I’ve been utilizing the Ohnut throughout receptive strap-on and penis-in-vagina intercourse to make penetrative play snug because it was first launched to market in 2018. Fact be informed, no intercourse toy, pleasure assist, or piece of intercourse recommendation has modified my intercourse life fairly like this non-assuming trinket. So, after I realized that Ohnut launched a vibrating toy dubbed the Ohnut Vibrating Ring ($50), I buzzed with pleasure.

What are the advantages of the Ohnut Vibrating Ring?

Launched to market in November, the Ohnut Vibrating Ring is a single, stackable ring outfitted with a chargeable, thumb-sized vibrator. It may be used by itself, or seamlessly interlock with the model’s different buffer rings, says Emily Sauer, CEO and founding father of Ohnut.

“You possibly can stack as much as 4 comfortable rings—together with a hoop with a vibrating perform, do you have to select—onto a penetrating associate,” Sauer says. These rings then compress down, lowering depth by about 1.5 centimeters every, she explains.

Vibration can add a brand new sensation that may make it simpler to expertise pleasure and even orgasm each for the wearer and receiver, says Sauer. “The vibrating ring may also help all companions expertise all totally different rumble sensations,” she says. The product has seven totally different vibration speeds, ranging in intensities from refined buzz (my fave) to explosive rumble, which you’ll be able to simply cycle by way of by urgent a single, well-placed button.

Greater than that, vibration may help the principle purpose of lowering ache throughout penetrative play. “Vibration can really elongate the vagina, making it simpler to accommodate a penis or a toy,” she says. “Vibration may improve pure lubrication and blood circulation, which assist create slip and cushioning for penetrative intercourse,” she says. Can vouch!

To be clear, the Ohnut Vibrating Ring shouldn’t be used rather than store-bought lubrication. Loads of lube ought to nonetheless be squirted alongside the shaft and entrance, do you have to want or need it. Fortunately, the vibrating ring is created from an FDA-approved household of polymers, which suggests it’s body-safe and suitable with each silicone- and water-based lubrication.

The Ohnut Vibe is out there in two totally different sizes: Basic and Wider. The 2 sizes are the identical “peak,” that means that they cut back penetration depth by the very same quantity. What differs is the scale of the opening that the penis (or toy) goes by way of. The basic was designed for individuals who put on “normal” condoms, whereas the broader choice was made for individuals who put on “massive” condoms or choose a looser match.

How is it totally different from a cock ring?

To the bare eye, the Ohnut Vibrating Ring could look like a cock ring. In spite of everything, it has the identical banded form as widespread vibrating c-rings just like the Lelo Tor 2 ($130) and the JimmyJane Deimos Vibrating Cock Ring ($125).

However to be clear, the Ohnut Vibe is not a vibrating cock ring. Cock rings, or c-rings are they’re generally known as, are designed to suit tightly over the bottom of a penis and prohibit blood circulation to in the end assist the wearer get more durable and preserve an erection for an extended time frame. Not one of the Ohnut rings (together with the vibrating one) are designed to be tight on the penis or alter its perform. As a substitute, the Ohnut was designed to restrict the depth of penetration with out sacrificing sensation to both associate. (For the document: The 2 individuals I’ve used the Ohnut with have reported that the gadget looks like a “penis hug”).

Additional, the Ohnut Vibrating Ring can hyperlink into different Ohnut Buffer Rings, in a manner that different vibrating rings can not. When you use a couple of ring, you’ll be able to put the vibrating ring wherever within the stack. By way of a bit trial-and-error, I’ve realized I prefer it because the second ring. When the primary ring vibrated, my clitoris acquired a bit overestimated, which is frequent for me.

So…is the Ohnut Vibrating Ring for me?

When you, like me, are a part of the 75 p.c of vulva-owners who has ever discovered penetrative intercourse painful at occasions, you would be candidate for the Ohnut Vibrating Ring.

Nonetheless, it’s necessary to notice that for those who discover any type of penetration painful—intercourse, hand intercourse, tampon insertion, and many others. —don’t simply order a intercourse toy and name it a day. It’s necessary to seek the advice of a gynecologist and/or pelvic flooring therapist, suggests Corey Silbert PT, DPT, a pelvic flooring therapist with Pelvic Gymnasium, a pelvic well being schooling platform created by Ohnut. Penetrative ache could be attributable to a variety of underlying situations, says Silbert, together with endometriosis, vaginismus, pelvic inflammatory illness, and sexually transmitted infections. The correct health-care supplier may also help diagnose the underlying trigger and both deal with the situation or provide you with informed to handle it, she explains.

Actually, a go to to a pelvic flooring therapist is how I realized that my penetrative ache is attributable to a situation known as hypertonic pelvic flooring (the place your pelvic muscle tissues consistently spasm or contract). I now handle this situation with a variety of at-home and in-office pelvic flooring stretches, in addition to pleasure aids just like the Ohnut, CBD suppositories, dilators, and now, the Ohnut Vibrating Ring.

In case your situation causes ache deep contained in the vaginal canal, your supplier could counsel the Ohnut Buffer Rings or Ohnut Vibrating Ring (amongst different merchandise), says Silbert. “By controlling depth, you’ll be able to hold penetration from aggravating deeper buildings which are painful when touched,” she says. If the principle place of your ache is at (or nearer in the direction of) the doorway of your vaginal canal, the vibrating ring is much less more likely to deal with the ache as a result of some penetration will nonetheless be happening.

All in all, at $50.00 for the Ohnut Vibrating Ring and $65.00 for 4 further (vibrator-free) Ohnut Buffer Rings, I’d advocate anybody who finds penetration extra ‘ouch’ than O give the aids a strive. There’s not a lot to lose, and as I can vouch for, there’s a variety of pleasure and peace-of-mind to realize.
