Sexual wellness company MysteryVibe designed the Legato labia vibrator with female anatomy in mind, but that wasn’t going to stop me from trying it out on my man parts. And before you say “typical male behaviour”, we’ll add that one of MysteryVibe’s male customers beat me to the punch, saying, “’Not had a chance to try it out as intended, but as a cock and ball ring, it’s sublime.’” As such, I was very keen to verify this vibrator’s potential to double as an innovative cock and ball ring, and so I slipped it on for a test drive. Here are the results.
What is Legato?
The latest in a long line of benchmarks, MysteryVibe’s Legato is the world’s first flexible labia vibrator for vaginal dryness. Most external vibrators are designed for clitoral stimulation, which can be a great thing but can also be problematic for women who suffer from sensitivity on their clitoris, whether naturally or due to hormone changes, surgery, or other health conditions and circumstances.
By contrast, Legato sends dispersed vibrations around the perimeter of the labia to gently awaken arousal in the whole region, increasing blood flow and promoting natural lubrication. This provides a safe, non-invasive way to stimulate arousal externally so she can enjoy sexual activity. The product can also be used to increase arousal during foreplay and then seamlessly transition to intercourse with its wide circular design.
In keeping with the MysteryVibe ethos, Legato leaves no potential user behind. This vibrator is gloriously flexible and good for a sweeping range of vibration patterns and intensity levels. It’s also rechargeable, 100 per cent showerproof, app-compatible, and doctor-recommended. When in use, it stimulates the vulva, labia, and clitoris to increase arousal and create natural lubrication. For women who experience pain or discomfort from sexual activity, it can be an absolute game-changer… and yet it’s even more than that.
Thinking Outside the Box with Legato
As I mentioned above, Legato was primarily created as a simulation tool for women who experience vaginal pain. However, the product’s flexible structure and circular design make it a potential cock and ball ring for male users as well. For those who need a reminder, cock and ball rings come in two different forms: the first is made up of two separate pieces, i.e. a ring that sits at the base of the penis and another ring around the scrotum. The second design—and the one Legato resembles—is a singular stretchy or flexible ring that can hug both the penis and scrotum at the same time.
Like all of MysteryVibe’s vibrators, Legato is made to be adjustable to your anatomy so that you’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all design. But that’s not the only feature that sets this product apart from other cock and ball rings. While some of the more “advanced” cock and ball rings come with a motor, maybe two, the resulting vibrations are usually aimed towards clitoral stimulation during sex. Men may feel some residual effects on their penis or perineum, but the motors are primarily designed for female benefit. Legato, meanwhile, has four strategically placed motors around its circular perimeter. Does this unique feature provide fuller coverage to male users? I was about to find out.
Hands-On With Legato As A Cock & Ball Ring
Upon taking Legato out of the packaging, my first impression was that the circular opening was simply too big for the product to function as a proper cock and ball ring (to be clear, I’m saying that the opening was too big, not that I was too small, so spare me the wisecracks). Nevertheless, slipping it on and powering up the device elicited a surge of vibrations. All the while, I was able to squeeze the circular perimeter so that it clamped down accordingly, which made it more like a cock and ball ring than I first thought possible.
At the base of Legato are four buttons that one can use to alternate between various intensity levels and vibration patterns. I’m normally not too choosy, but in this case, there was such a thing as too much power, so I dialled things down. The right vibration pattern can also go a long way in this particular scenario, so I tinkered a bit in that realm until landing on the pattern that felt best.
Full transparency: I don’t use cock and ball rings on a regular basis (or at all, for that matter) which may explain the hesitancy to squeeze down too hard.
Using Legato During Intercourse
Thanks to Legato’s wide and circular opening, a male partner can utilise the product internally while the vibrator is still being used to stimulate her externally. This is great on multiple fronts because it eliminates the awkward reach-arounds or fumbling between bodies and allows for both partners to orgasm. Unlike other vibrators that need to be held at just the right angle with just the right pressure on a small area (like the clitoris), Legato goes over the vulva and covers all the erogenous essentials in one fell swoop.
They say one should never mix business with pleasure and yet that’s exactly what I did when putting Legato to the test with my female partner. I’ll spare you the details, but after selecting the intensity level and vibration pattern of her desire, we were able to find a rhythm that worked for both of us. If there was one downside to the experience, it was that I felt a certain lack of mobility during intercourse, as if the wrong movement would cause the vibrator to fall out of place and send everything back to square one. Maybe we’ll become seasoned pros as we continue to experiment with Legato.
Here’s a rundown of Legato’s key features:
