I’m 18, and sitting on the tour bus that I am ostensibly in charge of, even though some my charges are a year or so older than me. A boy called Bo asks me to ask the driver if we can listen to one of their tapes instead of the europop drivel that we are listening to. I’m a punk: I don’t care much what we listen to, because the likelihood of anyone playing any music I like is almost non-existent. The tape goes on, and I sit with my mouth open, entranced. “What IS this?” I ask. “It’s Bluegrass”, they say, gently. Some time later that same summer the roommate of the boy I’m bouncing naked on top of wakes up and asks “What are you doing, Bo? Oh…” and I make a mental note: I’d never come across so many people called Bo, or bluegrass before.

So for various reasons I was well-disposed towards Lelo’s rechargeable vibrating cock ring before I’d even encountered it, not least because it’s called Bo – and I was even more well-disposed towards it once it had encountered my intimate bits.

Bo is a sturdy elastic cock ring with a little rechargeable motor that can be attached to it. It doesn’t have the flight- deck controls that so many Lelo products have, for obvious reasons: you basically switch it on and go. The buzzy bit itself is smooth and rounded, and big enough that you don’t have to spend all your time wriggling around making sure that it comes into contact with your clit, and the buzz is enough to build up a nice…um…buzz, without being too much at first contact. My experience of vibrating cock rings is not vast, but I don’t think I have to experiment further: this one works on me, and on him.

Like all Lelo products, it is beautifully packaged and the practicalities as well as the aesthetics have been thought through. Inside the customary box is a hard little plastic carrying case, and the ring can be recharged within the case. Bo is phthalate-free, and an hour’s charge lasts for 4 hours of use

I don’t seriously have a great deal else to say about it. I’ve found with all the Lelo products I’ve tried that they do exactly what they say on the box: they are beautiful, quiet, and outstandingly pleasurable.
