Renegade - Edge - Black

The Renegade Edge is a sleeve for the penis that vibrates, with a close-fitting section at the base that cradles your testicles (the ball drop) and a remote control, so your hands stay free while it buzzes. It's made from body-safe silicone, and the brand states it works with any type of lubricant. The remote runs on a CR2032 battery that's already included, and the sleeve is described as water-resistant, with no IPX rating published.

Who it suits and who it doesn't

It suits anyone who wants vibration without having to hold anything in place: the ball drop keeps the sleeve where it should be, and you change the intensity from the remote. As a couple, it makes sense to hand the remote to your partner and let them decide when and how it vibrates. If you tend to switch between lubricants, there's nothing to think about here: Renegade says it works with all of them.

It's not the right choice if you're after protection: this is a vibrating sleeve, and generally a sleeve is no substitute for a condom, whether for preventing pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

How to use it and look after it

1. Put the sleeve on and slip your testicles through the lower section, the ball drop, which is what holds it in place without using your hands.
2. Control the vibration with the remote; its CR2032 battery is already in the box, so you don't need to buy anything else to get started.

Compatibility

• Lubricant: According to Renegade, you can use it with any lubricant, even a silicone-based one.
• Water: It's described as water-resistant, with no IPX rating published: think of it as protection against splashes.
• Batteries: The remote takes a CR2032 coin battery, included; when it runs out, replace it with another of the same type.

General tips

Common good practice for this type of product; these are not the manufacturer's instructions.

• Start at the lowest intensity and work up gradually: that way you'll find the rhythm you like sooner.
• If you won't be using it for a while, take the batteries out: this stops them corroding inside.
• It should fit snugly without squeezing: if you notice coldness, tingling or pain, or the skin changes colour, take it off.
• A sleeve is not a substitute for a condom: it doesn't prevent pregnancy or protect against sexually transmitted infections.
• Test the remote's range before going out wearing the toy: the signal doesn't travel as far through the body and clothing.
• Wipe it with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water and mild soap, or with a toy cleaner, and dry it well, especially around the buttons and the charging port.
• Keep it clean and dry, away from heat and sunlight, in a fabric pouch or its box and apart from other toys: some materials react when they touch and become stained or misshapen.

How it differs

• Pretty Love Giann: The Renegade Edge is made from body-safe silicone and its remote uses an included CR2032 battery; the Pretty Love Giann combines ABS and silicone and runs on 1 AAA battery. The Edge is the one for you if you want remote control and an all-silicone sleeve; the Giann, if you'd rather have an AAA battery, which you can find in any shop.

Before first use, read the manufacturer's instructions that come with the product: they are the reference for its use, cleaning and safety.
