We-Vibe Verge Vibrating Cock Ring - Slate

The We-Vibe Verge in Slate is a rechargeable vibrating cock ring with a curved arm that reaches back to rest on the perineum. Most ring vibrators put the motor on top, aiming at a partner. Verge points it the other way, so the person wearing it gets the strongest sensation, while a partner still feels some of the buzz during sex. It's controlled from a button on the ring or through the We-Connect app, which also lets a partner take over.

How this vibrating cock ring sits on the body

The ring goes around the base of the shaft, and the arm curves down and back between the legs to sit against the perineum, the area behind the balls. The motor lives in that arm, so the vibration is deep and rumbly rather than buzzy. The silicone is soft and flexible, and the ring stretches to fit a range of sizes. Overall the toy measures roughly 2.4 by 1.7 by 4.5 inches.

Putting on a cock ring vibrator

Fit it while soft or only partly hard, with a little water-based lube on the inside of the ring. Stretch the ring over the shaft and roll it to the base with the arm pointing down, then settle the arm so the tip rests flat on the perineum. If it pokes rather than sits flat, try it slightly higher or lower. Start on a low setting and take it off if anything feels numb, cold or painful. First sessions of 15 to 20 minutes are plenty.

App and partner play

The We-Connect app lets you switch between vibration modes, create your own patterns and share control with a partner, whether they're beside you or somewhere else entirely. Without the app, a press of the button cycles through the built-in settings. Verge also works with other We-Vibe toys in the same app, so a couple can run both from one phone.

Who it suits

Verge is a good fit for someone who already enjoys cock rings and wants vibration aimed at themselves, or for couples who like handing over control through an app. It's less suited to a first-ever ring, since the arm takes a little positioning, and it isn't the pick if the main goal is clitoral vibration for a partner during sex.

Battery and water

Expect up to about two hours from a full charge, which takes around 90 minutes via the USB cable in the box. A low-battery alert warns you before it runs out. Verge is fully waterproof, so it's fine in the shower and easy to wash under the tap.

Material and care

It's made from silicone free of phthalates, BPA and latex. Pair it with water-based lube only; silicone lube can harm a silicone toy's finish. Wash it in warm water with mild soap or a toy cleaner, dry it completely, and store it away from other silicone toys. The Slate colour is a muted blue-grey that looks more like a gadget than a toy.
