Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring Review
My Verdict
The CalExotics Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring did not live up to our expectations. This noisy cock ring was hard to position properly and when you did, you barely felt anything. The only saving grace was the included "normal" cock ring. It's unique shape made things feel nice and secure. But, given the price of this kit, I would not recommend it.

Personal Experience
First Impressions
Upon first inspection the CalExotics Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring seems like a winner. The packaging is excellent. The materials feel premium. They even include an extra cock ring in the package! Off to a great start. It charged quickly and we were ready to go. That’s where the good points stop. We really struggled with the Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring. We wanted to like it, we really did. It just didn’t do….well….anything.Using the Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring
The design is simple. A cock ring with a moving ball? It is supposed to provide stimulation to either the clitoris or perineum depending on which you have the ring. But we struggled to notice anything. The ring itself is not very stretchy and so its hard to put on around the base of your penis and testicles. The opening is just big enough that there is too much room for just the shaft. Fine, they included another, stretchier cock ring for that. Problem solved. Well, that one at least. Once you turn it on you are welcomed to a high pitched whining sound coming from the undulating ball. Switching modes/speeds only makes it worse. We tried various settings while it was in the clitoral stimulation position but no matter the mode/speed we count feel anything. The Ball is so small compared to the head of the unit, it just gets lost and you don’t even notice its there. Ok, let’s switch it up. We moved it around and with the help of 4 hands, a shoehorn and a lot of lube, (JK, there was no shoehorn), we were able to get it around my shaft and testicles without breaking it. I was hopeful at this point but was quickly disappointed. I just couldn’t feel anything. The only positives we found were the “extra” cock ring and the ability to use it as a hand toy was slightly better.Design
The materials used in the CalExotics Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring were very nice. The black, silky, smooth silicone felt nice upon the skin. The stretchiness of the ring could have been better as I struggled to get anything inside the ring. My average sized shaft slid right in but was too small to keep it in place. The extra cock ring was great though. It had an irregular design that kept it in place and worked well. We could never get the ball in the correct position to ever notice it during play. Even in solo play or hand play, the ball is so small and moves so little that its gets lost and isn't noticed. This seems to defeat the purpose of said toy. I do like the black and green colors though.
Ease of Use
The CalExoctic Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring was easy to operate once you have it in position. The lack of stretch in the cock ring can make getting it on a challenge. Depending on how you want to wear it will determine how easy or hard it is to put on. The large button on the side is easy to find and press even in the middle of play. It also came with your standard USB charging cable and extra cock ring.
Quality
This is one of the only positives for the CalExotic Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring. It is made of a silky smooth body safe silicone and feels very sturdy. But that sturdiness is also a detriment. The lack of stretch in the ring causes complications when trying to get it into position. Although I appreciate the heft of the ring it make is hard to use.
Price
For the $64.99 retail price, it's on the higher end of "vibrating" cock rings. The rest of the Link Up line is within this range as well. The very nice packaging and premium materials definitely add to the value but the incredibly loud motor and lack of function overshadow any of those positives.
Performance
The CalExotic Link Up Pinnacle Cock Ring really struggled to meet any expectations here. It was not easy to put on, the "vibrating" feature was almost non-existent and it was so insanely loud. It did charge quickly and lasted for several play sessions.
Packaging
This was great packaging. The see through window in the box gave you a good look at what was inside and the box itself was thick cardboard. Even the foam insert that held the cock rings was nice. There were no real instructions but it's a vibrating cock ring, what instructions do you really need. There are basic how to's on the box so that was helpful.
Materials and care
The body-safe silicone used felt very premium which made clean up a breeze. It's waterproof so just using water and soap cleaned everything up easy peasy. It would have been nice to have a storage bag considering there were a couple pieces but, c'est la vie.
