Pretty Love Blackney: review

Pretty Love Blackney at a glance — here’s what you get

Pretty Love Blackney penis ring with black vibrator plug is a combination product: a vibrating penis ring with a fixed, ribbed plug mounted on it that points backward from the ring. The construction has a single purpose, and the manufacturer is straight to the point about it. The ring sits around the base of the penis and restricts blood flow; the plug is inserted anally or vaginally in the partner at the same time as penetration occurs, and a small, bent tip on the top side of the ring rests against the partner’s pubic bone. All three parts sit together in one piece of silicone and are driven by one and the same motor.

The manufacturer’s data sheet is short but unambiguous on the points it actually covers: seven vibration modes, memory function, silicone material, powered via USB charging, net weight 90 grams, and a retail package that measures 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters. The item number is BI-210327 and the barcode is 6959532336634. The manufacturer is Liaoyang Baile Health Care Product Co., Ltd, which owns the Pretty Love brand.

What makes this review unusual is how short the list of published values is. For a product in this price range, it’s normal for runtime and charging time to be missing, but here even total length, inner diameter, battery capacity, ingress protection class, sound level, warranty period, and delivery contents are missing—all from the manufacturer. What can still be reported comes from the stores, and it is always marked as store information below. Store information is available in the source material.

What a penis ring with a vibrating plug actually is

Two completely separate functions are combined in this product, and it’s worth distinguishing between them before you judge the price. The first is the penis ring. A ring around the base of the penis delays venous return, which is the mechanism behind the wording about a longer and firmer erection. It’s a purely mechanical effect and requires no electronics at all — the cheapest penis rings on the market are silicone bands without a motor.

The second function is the ribbed plug. It’s not an anal plug in the classic sense with a wide base and a narrow neck, but a tapering, ribbed rod that originates from the underside of the ring. One shop lists as store information that the insertable length is 13.5 centimeters out of a total length of 14.8 centimeters, which means that essentially the whole product outside the ring is intended to be inserted. Another shop lists as store information the maximum diameter as 2 centimeters. It’s a distinctly long rod relative to how thick it is, and it’s exactly that geometry that allows it to lie parallel to the penis during simultaneous penetration.

The motor sits in the ring part. The manufacturer’s own product images show that both the plug and the curved tip come from the same molded body, and that there is only a single control unit on the entire product. What this means in practice is that the vibration can’t be distributed: the same setting applies to the ring, to the tip, and to the plug at the same time. It’s a fundamental difference compared with more expensive dual-motor pair products, and it’s more important for the experience than the number of modes.

BI-210327 and BI-210327-1 — two item numbers, same data sheet

Pretty Love’s assortment contains two articles with practically identical data sheets under the name Blackney. One is BI-210327 with barcode 6959532336634, which is the item this walkthrough is about. The other is BI-210327-1 with barcode 6959532336894.

The difference between them isn’t shown in the manufacturer’s materials. Both data sheets state 90 grams net weight, seven vibration modes, a memory function, silicone, USB charging, packaging 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters, and 60 units per carton, and both have the same product description word for word. What the suffix -1 stands for, the manufacturer doesn’t publish. So the practical advice is simple: check the barcode and not the model name when comparing prices, because a price-comparison result for the word Blackney may include both articles without any store stating the difference.

Another thing worth knowing before you click around between stores: one of the six stores lists the article under the mark "FOR HIM" instead of Pretty Love, even though the EAN number on their own product page is 6959532336634. It’s not another product, but a store-internal categorization — but that means the article doesn’t show up if you filter that store’s assortment by the Pretty Love brand.

Material and build quality: silicone, but nothing more than that

The materials issue is the only characteristic of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with experience or care, and it determines whether the product is still hygienic after a few years. The manufacturer’s data sheet has a single word on that line: silicone. The source material repeats the same information; none of it adds anything, and none of it contradicts it. On that point, the source material above is unusually consistent.

What "silicone" means — and what the manufacturer doesn’t spell out

Silicone is a non-porous material. A non-porous surface can be cleaned, because there are no microscopic cavities where residue can get trapped. It is the single most important property of a material that is meant to sit against mucous membrane, and that is why this material category weighs more heavily than almost every other category in a specification. On a product that is inserted, this difference is not cosmetic—it determines whether the product can be used after a year.

But the material specification has two gaps worth pointing out. The first is that the manufacturer does not provide any material breakdown per part. The product has a button, a charging port, and an electronics module, and they cannot all be silicone. The manufacturer’s own product images show a deviating light, hard surface on the top side of the ring, which reasonably is a plastic window over the LED—but what plastic it is is not stated. Other manufacturers in the category publish this: Lelo explicitly states “body-safe silicone, ABS plastic” for the Tor 3.

The second gap is that the hardness of the silicone is not given. On a penis ring, that’s not a detail. Adultsex indicates as a store listing that the ring is stretchable, but since no source publishes a shore value or a range for how much it stretches, there is no way to determine in advance whether it will feel comfortable. That is the single biggest uncertainty when buying this specific type of product online.

Phthalates, BPA and latex: the declaration that’s missing

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all, soft plasticized PVC—flexible. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. The sex toys category is a recurring target of supervision precisely because it contains soft plastic that comes into contact with skin and mucous membrane.

Here is a concrete difference compared with the more expensive competitors that deserves to be said plainly. Pretty Love does not publish any declaration that Blackney is free from phthalates, BPA, or latex, either on the datasheet or on the packaging shown in the product gallery. We-Vibe, for its part, explicitly states that Verge is free from phthalates and BPA and made without latex. That is not proof that Blackney contains any of them—silicone does not require phthalate plasticizers to be soft, because the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure—but the absence of a commitment is, in itself, a difference in the information provided, and anyone who is allergic to latex gets no information at all.

What the manufacturer documents, however, is that the product bears the CE marking and the UKCA marking. Both marks, together with the symbol for a crossed-out wheelie bin, are embossed directly into the silicone at the underside of the ring and can be seen in the manufacturer’s own product images. The crossed-out wheelie bin is the European WEEE symbol and means that the product should be disposed of as electrical waste, not in household trash—a message that matters only once it has been used up, but which is not present on all products in this price range.

Measurements and weight: 14.8 cm according to the shops, 90 grams according to the manufacturer

Here, the sources need to be kept separate very carefully, because the manufacturer and the shops present different information. The manufacturer publishes no length, no diameter, and no inner diameter. The only measurement the manufacturer provides is the package’s 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters, plus the net weight of 90 grams.

Two shops fill in the gap, and they agree with each other. In this market, the product appears in store source material. One shop states as the shop information the length 14.8 centimeters, the diameter 2 centimeters, and the inner diameter 2.3 centimeters. Another shop states as the shop information the total length 14.8 centimeters, the insertable length 13.5 centimeters, and the maximum diameter 2 centimeters. The fact that two shops using different product data sources arrive at identical figures makes the information significantly more credible than a single source would have. And the inner diameter of 2.3 centimeters is not published anywhere else at all.

The third shop listing, however, doesn’t add up. One shop listing states the weight as 135 grams and the dimensions as 51 × 212 × 95 millimeters. None of those figures match the manufacturer’s 90 grams and 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters. And since 212 millimeters is also longer than the length the shops list for the product itself, the dimensions likely refer to a shipping cardboard box and not to the product or the selling package. And 135 grams is likely a gross weight. The rule is that the manufacturer wins when the details clash: assume 90 grams net and 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters for the packaging, and treat the shop’s numbers as logistics data.

What 90 grams means in practice is still worth a lot. It’s a light product—Lelo, for comparison, states that Tor 3 measures 46.7 × 22.2 × 60 millimeters, so a significantly smaller body without the plug. Blackney is longer but narrower, and the weight ends up almost entirely in the ring section, where the motor and the battery sit. That’s also the explanation for why the plug hangs downward when the product is held in the ring.

Seven vibration modes, one button, and a memory function

The interface on Pretty Love Blackney is as simple as it can be. The manufacturer’s own function image names a single control: a button labeled "ON/OFF VIBRATION BUTTON" on the side of the ring body. Next to it sits an elongated light window, and a little bit away on the top side there is a small opening labeled DC, which the image points out as the charging connection with the text "USB RECHARGEABLE".

One button for all functions means that turning on, turning off, and changing modes are all on the same press surface. What can be determined from the manufacturer’s material is that the modes are stepped through in a loop—the packaging lists "Smart speed control" as the first function—but the manufacturer does not publish exactly how many seconds a long press requires for turning off. It’s a trade-off that works both ways: a single button is easy to find by feel, but it also means you have to step through all seven modes to get back to the first.

How is Pretty Love Blackney controlled?

The button sits on the outside of the ring body, meaning on the surface that points away from the body when the product is in place. It’s the logical placement on a product that is meant to be adjustable during use, and the only placement that works when both the ring and the plug are being used at the same time.

None of the two shops we found, and neither does the manufacturer, publish a description of what the seven modes are. What can be established is that the number seven is consistently stated in the manufacturer’s data sheet, in the packaging’s function list, in the packaging’s multilingual text—where the information is provided in eight languages including Swedish—and in both shops we found. If there’s any value in this review that’s well supported, then it’s that.

What the memory function does

The memory function is included in the manufacturer’s function lineup, and as point three on the packaging’s own list. The store description gives it like this: the product resumes the most recently used setting. That’s the usual meaning of the concept in this category, and it’s more valuable on this particular product than on most others.

The reason is the button. On a product with a single control and seven modes in a loop, each restart on average costs three or four button presses before you’re back where you were. With the memory function, it instead starts directly in the last used mode. It’s the kind of detail you don’t see in a comparison table, but you notice every time the product is turned on—and it’s also one of the few features where Blackney doesn’t have less than the more expensive alternatives.

Seven or ten modes? The manufacturer’s own material says both

A note about the manufacturer’s documentation belongs here, because it affects how much weight you should give their other claims. On exactly the same page where the specifications line lists "7 vibration functions", there is an ongoing product text that starts with the words "This 7 function vibrating cock ring" and, four sentences later, writes "Having ten vibration functions gives you the opportunity to experiment with pulses and speeds".

It’s a contradiction in the manufacturer’s own material, not two variants of the product. Everything else that can be checked points in the same direction: the specifications line says seven, the packaging’s numbered list of functions says seven, the packaging’s multilingual label text says seven in eight languages, and the stores in our data say seven. The reasonable conclusion is that the two-digit number is a leftover from a template that was reused between product sheets—this kind of text reuse is clearly noticeable in Pretty Loves range, where the sister item BI-210327-1 has the exact same description.

Why it matters: when a manufacturer doesn’t capture an incorrect digit claim in its own marketing material, it’s a reason to treat the rest of the datasheet as minimum information rather than as a complete specification. It also affects how you should read store copy that happens to quote ten instead of seven.

Sound level: no number is given

Neither the manufacturer nor any of the stores in this market in our data publishes a decibel value for Pretty Love Blackney, and the manufacturer also makes no qualitative claim that the product is quiet. So there’s nothing to report, and a review that still includes a number reports either its own measurement or a value without a source.

For comparison, Lelo lists a maximum sound level of 60 dB for Tor 3 and a vibration frequency of 130 Hz. That says something about how unusual it is for the information to be available: 60 dB is a ceiling, not a typical value, and even the manufacturer that publishes the most in the category only goes as far as a maximum value. What you can say in general is that products in this class use a rotating eccentric motor—an unbalanced weight on a shaft—and that the sound character from such a design is driven more by what the product is in contact with than by the motor itself. A soft surface between the users does more for the sound level than anything that happens to be in a datasheet.

Water resistance: no IP rating is published

This is the most important line in the entire specification, and it needs to be worded exactly. The manufacturer does not publish an enclosure class for Pretty Love Blackney, and none of the stores in this market in our data lists the product as waterproof. So there is neither an IPX number nor a qualitative claim to relate to.

Why a missing IPX rating matters here

The IP system is defined in the international standard IEC 60529. The second digit in the classification indicates protection against water, and the class that is common in this category, IPX7, means that the product has been tested for submersion to a one-meter depth for 30 minutes. We-Vibe lists IPX7 for Verge, and Lelo states that the Tor 3 is fully waterproof.

The basic rule is that the absence of a classification is never a sign that the product would be approved. If a product lacks an IP rating, it should be treated as not waterproof. On Blackney, there is also a concrete indication pointing in the same direction: the manufacturer’s own function diagram shows an open charging port marked DC on the top side of the ring, instead of the magnetic charging contacts that are used on products where the manufacturer needs to eliminate every hole in the housing. An open charging contact does not rule out waterproofing—it can be sealed from the inside—but it means you can’t assume anything.

The implication for you as a buyer is practical and clear: wipe the product off, rinse it gently if needed, but don’t submerge it in water and don’t take it into the bath. It’s a genuine limitation of a product that, by design, is used in a way that requires thorough cleaning afterwards, and it’s the single biggest drawback compared with both the Lelo Tor 3 and the We-Vibe Verge.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

Since the manufacturer does not publish any care instructions, what follows is based on the material and the design. Silicone is cleaned with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap or a cleanser intended for intimate products. Be especially careful with the grooves on the plug—residue stays there, and the fit is tight. Keep the charging port away from water spray, let the product air-dry completely, and put it away only once it is dry.

On the question of lube, the store listings are clearest in recommending a water-based lube. That’s also what the material requires: silicone-based lube should not be used on silicone products, because it breaks down the surface over time and makes it porous—and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly, only replaced. Oil-based products such as coconut oil leave a film that’s difficult to remove, and they don’t belong on this product either.

One more thing that follows from the fact that the product combines anal use with a ring around the base of the penis: it should never go from anal use to vaginal use without cleaning in between. It’s a general hygiene rule, but it becomes especially relevant on a product where the two parts sit together and are used at the same time.

Battery and charging: USB rechargeable and nothing more

The manufacturer’s power supply line contains three words: USB rechargeable. That’s the whole piece of information. The packaging’s function list repeats the same thing as point six, and all six stores repeat it in turn.

How is Pretty Love Blackney charged?

Via a charging port in the ring body, which the manufacturer’s functional image marks with DC and indicates with the text "USB RECHARGEABLE". The connector is a small round opening, not a USB-C port and not a magnetic charging pad. What cable type is included, and whether a cable is included at all, the manufacturer does not publish, and none of the stores also states anything about what’s included in the package. In practice, a DC port of this type means the cable is product-specific—if you lose it, no standard phone cable works as a replacement. For comparison, both Lelo and We-Vibe explicitly list a USB charging cable in the packaging for Tor 3 and Verge, respectively.

The capacity, operating time, and charging time that are not published

Pretty Love does not publish any battery type, capacity in mAh, voltage, operating time, or charging time for Blackney. None of the shops fills the gap either. There are four lines in the specifications table that are all blank, and it is the biggest single information gap in the product.

The difference versus the competitors is therefore large specifically on this point. Lelo states for the Tor 3 a lithium-ion battery of 3.7 volts with 70 mAh, an operating time of up to two hours, a charging time of up to two hours at 5.0 volts and 70 milliamperes, as well as a standby mode of up to 90 days. We-Vibe states for the Verge a USB-rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery with up to 120 minutes of operating time and up to 90 minutes of charging time. Without corresponding information for Blackney, you can neither figure out how long it lasts during use nor compare how heavily the cell is being loaded.

What can still be established generally for rechargeable products in this price range is this: capacity drops with the number of charging cycles, and a product that is cast as a single piece of silicone without a visible access door in the manufacturer’s own images has no replaceable battery. When the cell is empty, the product is too—and the crossed-out trash bin embossed in the material is precisely the acknowledgment of that. Charge it regularly instead of storing it fully discharged; that’s the only thing you can do to push that day back.

Fit and safety: 2.3 centimeters inner diameter

The inner diameter is the only figure in the entire specification that determines whether the product fits, and it is therefore not published by the manufacturer. One store lists it as a store-provided detail: 2.3 centimeters. It’s a small measure at rest—Lelo lists 29 millimeters of inner diameter for the Tor 3, i.e. 6 millimeters more—but the comparison isn’t quite fair, because Blackney sits in a softer, stretchable silicone ring, while the Tor 3 is designed as a ring with different geometry. Another store lists as a store-provided detail that the ring is stretchable, but how much it stretches is not published by any source.

This puts the buyer in a level of uncertainty that can’t be solved in advance, and it’s fair to say that plainly instead of writing that it fits most people. What is, however, general for this product type is that a penis ring is a time-limited product: it should be removed if there is numbness, discoloration, or discomfort, and it should not be worn when you fall asleep. Pretty Love does not publish a recommended maximum wearing time for Blackney — Lelo indicates for comparison that the Tor 3 automatically turns itself off after 20 minutes, a safety feature that Blackney, as far as the manufacturer publishes, completely lacks.

Pretty Love Blackney compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: against the manufacturer that publishes the most data in the category, against the best-selling app-controlled penis ring, and against Pretty Love’s own sister article. All specifications below come from each respective manufacturer’s official product pages, and all prices come from the shops’ product feeds on July 29, 2026.

Against the Lelo Tor 3 — a completely different set of data

Lelo publishes the dimensions 46.7 × 22.2 × 60 millimeters, the inner diameter 29 millimeters, the material—body-friendly silicone and ABS plastic—a lithium-ion battery of 3.7 volts and 70 mAh, a runtime of up to two hours, a charging time of up to two hours, a standby mode of up to 90 days, eight settings, the vibration frequency 130 Hz, a maximum sound level of 60 dB, automatic shutoff after 20 minutes, that the product is completely waterproof, that it is app-controlled via Bluetooth, a two-year warranty plus a ten-year quality guarantee—and exactly what’s in the box.

Blackney publishes seven of these things: material, number of settings, memory function, USB charging, net weight, packaging dimensions, and barcode. It’s an information difference that, in itself, is worth money for anyone who wants to know what they’re buying.

Then there’s the difference in what the products actually are. The Tor 3 is a pure penis ring without an insert piece—it can’t do what the Blackney is designed to do. If you want the double penetration function, it isn’t available from Lelo at this price level at all, and then the comparison between the products is less relevant than the comparison between their datasheets.

Against the We-Vibe Verge — IPX7 and a published runtime

We-Vibe states that it is body-friendly silicone free from phthalates and BPA and made without latex, that it has a USB-rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, a runtime of up to 120 minutes, a charging time of up to 90 minutes, an ingress protection rating IPX7, app control, a two-year warranty, and the delivery contents consisting of the product, the USB charging cable, a quick guide, and safety information.

Two of the lines are the ones that Blackney most clearly lacks. IPX7 means, according to IEC 60529, that the product has been tested for submersion one meter for 30 minutes, while Blackney has no published rating at all and therefore should be treated as not waterproof. And a published runtime of 120 minutes is something you can plan around, while an unpublished runtime is not.

Verge, however, is also not a product for double penetration — it’s a ring with a perineum stimulator. The conclusion is therefore the same as with Lelo: if you pay three times as much, you get a significantly better-documented and waterproof product, but not the function that Blackney is actually built around. If you want plugs, there’s nothing in these two options that replaces that.

Against BI-210327-1 — same datasheet, different barcode number

The third comparison is internal. Pretty Love lists a sister article, BI-210327-1 with barcode 6959532336894, whose datasheet is identical on every line: 90 grams, seven vibration modes, memory function, silicone, USB charging, packaging 160 × 130 × 50 millimeters, and 60 units per carton. Even the product text is verbatim the same, including the contradiction about ten vibration modes.

The manufacturer doesn’t say what the difference is. Practically, that only means one thing: go by the barcode. In this market, if you find the product at a store, the EAN number is the only thing that reliably distinguishes the items.

Sold in this market by no shop in our data

The item with EAN 6959532336634 is sold by no shop in our data.

The stock situation is unusually good for this type of item at the price check: the product was available in most of the stores.

Price differences aren’t because some stores sell a different variant—instead, it’s mainly down to how each retailer prices the same imported product. So it’s worth comparing, as long as you’re looking at the exact same item.

Two things to consider before you decide. Shipping can significantly affect the total you pay in this price range—so always check the final price in the checkout. And online prices can change quickly, so verify the price right before you complete the order.

Who is Pretty Love Blackney for—and who isn’t it for?

It’s for you who want to try simultaneous double penetration without taking the detour via a harness or a second person, and who want to do it at a cost where a failed attempt doesn’t hurt your wallet. It’s for the one who wants silicone rather than a cheaper rubber blend in contact with the mucous membrane, the one who wants a product with only one button to learn, and the one who appreciates that the memory function makes it start where you left off.

It’s not for you if you want to be able to rinse off the product under running water or take it into the shower—no source states any ingress protection rating, and an open charging port can be seen in the manufacturer’s own pictures. It’s not for you if you want to know how long it lasts on a charge, because operating time, charging time, or battery capacity are not published. It’s not for you if you need a guaranteed latex-free or phthalate-free declaration, because the manufacturer provides no such information. It’s also not for you if you want to control the ring and the plug independently of each other—there is a motor and a button for the entire product.

And one thing that matters more than everything else: the fit. The only inner diameter that is published anywhere is the 2.3-centimeter figure in a store listing, and none states how much the ring stretches. If you’re unsure whether a ring in that format will work for you, it’s smarter to first try a simple, non-adjustable silicone ring for under a hundred bucks than to spend the money on a product whose main function depends on the ring sitting correctly.

Warranty, claims, and right of withdrawal

Pretty Love does not publish any warranty period for Blackney, either on the datasheet or on the pictured packaging. That is a piece of information worth including in your calculation when you compare with Lelo, which lists two years of warranty plus ten years of quality warranty for Tor 3, and with We-Vibe, which lists two years for Verge.

However, the absence of a manufacturer warranty matters less than you might think, for one simple reason: your statutory rights apply regardless of what the manufacturer promises. In the EU and EEA, the seller is liable for defects that exist at delivery and appear within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee). If a defect existed at the time of delivery, it’s the shop/seller that must remedy it.

For online purchases in the EU/EEA, you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal, starting when you receive the goods. However, sealed goods that aren’t suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons are exempt from the right of withdrawal once unsealed. The right to make a claim for defects applies anyway: in the EU, the seller is liable for defects that existed at delivery and become apparent within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee).

A final piece of advice that follows from everything above: save the receipt and the original packaging. For a product without a published warranty period, without a published operating time, and without a published enclosure rating, the EU legal guarantee applies—meaning the seller is liable for defects that existed at delivery and become apparent within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee)—if the product stops working after a month.
