Conceptually, this adornment’s design should be neat and unique. It is a silicone ring with two stainless steel half rings embedded inside. This should give the benefits of flexible silicone and the rigidity and constriction of stainless.
Unfortunately, it all falls apart rather quickly. While the size is close to my preferred goldilocks size for a shaft ring, the inner profile of the ring is as thin as a typical wire ring. This creates pressure points right on the shaft where the ring sits that is no different than using a standard wire ring. The body of this adornment is tapered, though, but I feel as though the manufacturer tapered it in the wrong direction. It makes a lot more sense to have the wider portion of the ring directly against the shaft rather than the other way around.
