We are huge fans of the Lelo Tor 2, and when we saw that they released the Lelo Tor 3, we jumped at the opportunity to get one. The Tor 2, while effective, had its flaws that led to growing frustrations but the Tor 3 sought to solve many of these problems. Keep reading to find out just how improved a penis ring can be.
The Lelo Tor 3 is an excellent cock ring for novice and experienced users alike. While it may be more expensive than its competitors, it is well worth the upgrade to control it from your phone. This toy will grow with you with what seems like a never-ending ability to increase its vibrating power and a ten-year quality control guarantee.
However, suppose you are nervous about making a significant investment to try a vibrating cock ring. In that case, the Lovehoney Bed Ringer Double Cock Ring may be a better one to experiment with. Also, the Lelo Tor 3 could be too tight for the girthier-sized fellow, making the Atom Lux Plus a better choice for them.
Who should try it? The Lelo Tor 3 is great for both novice and experienced consumers. Its stretchy soft material makes it perfect for first-time wearers, and its delicate craftsmanship will please any man used to putting a ring on it. If you have used vibrating penis rings before and found that manually operating them killed the vibe, then the Tor 3 is the answer to your prayers!
Who should skip it? The Lelo Tor 3 is not recommended for couples that do not enjoy extra vibrations. The Fifty Shades of Grey Perfect O would be more suitable. If you are a man of girth, you would be better off looking at wider-fitting models like the Atom Plus Lux. If you are nervous about investing so much money to try a vibrating cock ring for the first time, Lovehoney’s Bed Ringer Double Cock Ring could be the entry ring for you.

How to Use Lelo Tor 3?
Before using your Tor 3, it is best to charge it for two hours to ensure the protection and longevity of your battery. Also, we strongly recommend doing some manscaping to avoid any pulled hairs. Lastly, wash it before use.
- Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the inside of the ring. Avoid using other types of lubricants to prevent damaging the smooth texture.
- Get hard whichever way you fancy, alone or with your partner.
- Apply more lube to your penis and slide the ring to the base of your penis. You may need to stretch the ring but only do so from the thicker parts of the ring to ensure its longevity.
- Make the Tor 3 comfortably secure at the base of your penis. Be sure not to trap any hair, or you might be the one screaming later.
You can read more on how to use a cock ring in this extensive guide.
To use the Tor 3 manually:
- Hold the + button down to turn on the Tor 3.
- A single click of the + button increases the intensity of vibrations up to 12 speeds.
- Double-clicking the + button changes the patterns.
- Either single click or hold down the – button to turn down the speed. Once the motor reaches 0, the device will turn off.
- You can also turn off the device by holding the +/- buttons simultaneously.
To use the Tor 3 with the LELO App:

My Personal Experience
It did not take long after its arrival for my wife and me to put the Tor 3 to good use. We are both big fans of cock rings, specifically vibrating ones, so we did not skip a beat when we got to try it out. It remained on our bedside table, having its battery drained and replenished in the weeks leading up to my writing this article.
Packaging
Lelo knows the importance of making a good impression and seeks to do so with its packaging (image below). Feeling the structure of the box already had my senses on high alert as I knew something good was coming. It makes a tremendous gift to give through the unboxing experience alone.
While creating such a durable box may not be the most environmentally friendly, there was no additional unneeded waste inside the packaging. Well built and minimalist for the win.
Build Quality
When I first picked up my Tor 3, I felt like a builder or an artist who finally found the right tool for the job. Its solid heftiness automatically indicates its durability, with absolutely no parts able to rattle out of place. Its thick, velvety finish will last many years with the proper care. On top of its fine craftsmanship, it comes with a 10-year quality guarantee is a true testament to its longevity.
Design
The design of the Tor 3 is really no different on the outside than that of the Tor 2—a simple two-button interface with a few LED lights. However, Lelo rectified the most significant design flaw of the Tor 2 by adding Bluetooth. Constantly stopping mid-coitus, pulling myself out, and fumbling with the buttons on the Tor 2 could be a severe mood kill at times. Now, all we have to do is keep our phones by our sides, allowing either of us to change the settings as we feel while glued to each other.
Like the Tor 2, it was very tight while using it the first few times. Its thicker band does help to distribute the pressure (image above). However, you still feel it, making it unsuitable for the above-average man. The Atom Plus Lux offers a more accommodating fit for a girthy penis. And if size really is an issue, make sure to check our review of the best adjustable cock rings.
Thankfully Lelo kept the vibrating portion the same size as its predecessor with no extra bulk even though it has a more powerful motor. My partner could wildly ride and grind on top of me with no discomfort. If you and your partner do enjoy it rather rough, then the Tor 3 is better than bulky alternatives such as the Lovense Diamo or the Lovehoney Ignite.
Cleaning it is a breeze as no nooks or crannies are trapping unwanted fluids.
Materials
Just like the Tor 2, the Tor 3 boasts an ultra-silky-soft texture that feels great to the touch. When I slid it down my penis, it went on smoothly with almost no resistance. As I moved it along, I had to stretch it a bit to get it down, but it was still effortless, even when I had lube on my fingers. The more you use it the better it fits, making it easier to put on. This high-quality product is crafted from body-safe silicone that is both phthalate and allergen-free.
You actually have a broad option when it comes to materials, check our list of best metal cock rings if you want to try something different.
Ease of Use
Putting the Tor 3 on can be intimidating as the hole is small. However, its elasticity is forgiving, allowing it to stretch as you slide it down your penis. I do not recommend putting it on without lube unless you are looking for pain.
If you want an easy-to-apply cock ring, the We-Vibe Bond’s latching system eliminates the need to stretch and pull.
The two-button interface is wonderfully simple (circled in the image above), making it impossible to screw up. Unfortunately, it is still impossible to change settings while balls deep, but that’s where the Lelo App comes into play.
App Control
The Lelo App surprised me by being both simple and functional, which puts it way ahead of most sex toy apps out there. Lovense’s app is also great, but the look and UX of the Lelo were impressive.
A seamless Bluetooth connection allowed me to control the vibrations of my Tor 3 with a range of fun motions including twisting the phone, shaking the phone, and the “boring” mode which simply used plus and minus buttons on the app’s interface. In the image below, you can see screenshots from the app.
Lelo’s app was truly useful when using the Tor 3, mainly because it was easier to grab my phone and give it a quick shake rather than fiddling with the unit’s small control buttons in the middle of a steamy sex session.
Stimulations
The Lelo Tor 3 packs one hell of a punch inside its petite body. I was genuinely shocked when I played with it, and the vibrations kept getting stronger and stronger. It is just as strong as my partner’s favorite clit stimulators. She was opting for our Tor 3 these past few weeks.
The penetrative sex was terrific with Tor 3. Not only did it make my erections stronger, which we both thoroughly enjoyed, but being a cock ring helped delay ejaculation, giving us longer sessions and stronger orgasms for me. The vibrations added to the fun of a mightier penis. The vibrations did add a little extra something for me but nothing notable. But my partner, on the other hand, let’s just say those hands were clawing into my back and headboard.
The vibrations were best received when we did it in a motion that rubbed against her clit. However, the power of the vibrations could ring through my penis like a church bell when we did it in other positions. Not enough for the vibrations to make her cum, but there was no mistaking her enjoyment of them. With the Tor 2, the vibrations were significantly dampened when changing positions.
Versatility
The Tor 3, being a ring that is worn around the base of the penis, offered us an extensive range of versatility. The powerful rumble it omits makes it ideal as a clit vibrator. I should point out that she had tried this with Tor 2. However, it did not become something she regularly reached for as it was not as powerful as the Tor 3. My partner used it for solo play in bed and in the shower. The Tor 3 also added some fun to our foreplay routine, wearing it on our fingers and using the vibrations to tickle each other’s erogenous zones. I particularly liked it on my perineum.
When it came to sex, the Tor 3 was all systems go. From doggy to cowgirl, it had something to offer in every position. Furthermore, it was a blast to use with my favorite stroker. Having an overly engorged penis that vibrates had the effect of upgrading my pocket pussy.
Sound Level
At full power, the Lelo Tor 3 is not the quietest toy on the market, and I measured a top reading of 55dB, the same noise level as a normal conversation in a crowded place. However, using it with my partner, I felt that it was quieter than that, as the sound gets muffled between your bodies.
The only time the noise was an issue for my partner or me was when she used our Tor 3 as a clit vibrator alone. While it was loud when we used it during foreplay, the fun we had blocked out any annoying sounds.
Minor issues I found during testing:
It hurts to say that as excited as my partner and I were to use our Tor 3 we did find some minor issues with it.
- At full power, the Tor 3 is anything but silent. If you are using it during foreplay or for a solo session the person on the other side of your wall will probably hear it. When sandwiched between two bodies the sound is no longer an issue.
- It is tight-fitting for the above-average man. I am 6.5-7 inches and it was on the brink of uncomfortable the first few wears. You can seek more information on picking the right size for your cock ring in this article.

Who is This For?
The Lelo Tor 3 is a great cock ring for both novice and experienced cock ring users. Its stretchy soft material makes it perfect for first-time wearers, and its delicate craftsmanship will please any man used to putting a ring on it. If you have used various vibrating penis rings before and found that manually operating them killed the vibe, then the Tor 3 is the answer to your prayers.

Who Is This Not For?
It’s not recommended for couples that do not enjoy extra vibrations. The Fifty Shades of Grey Perfect O Cock Ring would be more suitable. If you are a man of girth, you would be better looking at wider-fitting cock rings like the Atom Plus Lux. If you are nervous about investing so much money to try a vibrating cock ring for the first time, Lovehoney’s Bed Ringer Double Cock Ring could be the entry ring for you.
How to Clean Lelo Tor 3?
Cleaning the Thor 3 is as simple as washing a dish. Any sex toy cleaner or mild soap and water is sufficient for cleaning. The product is fully submersible, allowing you to clean it under running water. No crevices can accumulate unwanted residue, so scrubbing is not required. Wipe it down with soap, water, and a cloth, and it’s ready to go. Before storing, it is essential to ensure that the product is completely dry.

Lelo Tor 3 vs Tor 2
While the Lelo Tor 2 and Tor 3 may appear identical, they differ in their abilities. While the Tor 2 was a fantastic product, Lelo has improved it with their Tor 3. The most remarkable addition is the advent of Bluetooth control to the device. Gone are the days of reaching between your bodies and fumbling for buttons. The other significant improvement is a noticeably stronger motor and two additional settings. If you or your partner like your vibrations rockin’, the Tor 3 will surely keep you happy.

Lovense Diamo
Lovense specializes in long-distance sex toys for lovers, and their cock ring, the Diamo, is no different. The Lovense App far surpasses the competition in user ability and has more customization options than its competitors. The vibrating head on the Lovense Diamo is also much larger than other vibrating cock rings. The large vibrating pad targets the perineum much better and offers wild clitoral stimulations. However, the bulk of the pad can become annoying while in the throws of passion.
The We-Vibe Bond is easier to slip on as it has a clipping mechanism, which could be something to consider.

We-Vibe Bond
If you are looking for a cock ring that goes far beyond the bedroom, the We-Vibe Bond can allow your kinky antics to take place discreetly in public. The We-Vibe Bond is an app-controlled vibrating cock ring that can be controlled from greater distances. It’s not just the ability to control the Bond that’s different but also how it’s worn. It can be worn upside-down to tickle your perineum into excitement. When worn the other way around on the penis, the pleasure focuses on the clit.
Although the We-Vibe Bond is a terrific toy for all couples, the fitting is less accommodating than the Tor rings, which could be uncomfortable for the well-endowed gentleman. Also, its vibrations are not as powerful as the Tor 2 or Tor 3.
You can read our full We-Vibe Bond review here.
Atom Plus Lux
The Atom Plus Lux by Hot Octopuss kicks things up a notch by featuring two vibrating motors. The genius part of the dual motor action in the Atom Plus Lux is that both partners can enjoy having their sensitive parts tickled simultaneously. There is one vibrator for the perineum and one for the clit.
The Atom Plus Lux five speeds are remote control operated. The downside is that this cock ring can be difficult to use with condoms.
