What the Zero Tolerance Teal Tickler is
The Teal Tickler is a battery-powered silicone ring from Zero Tolerance, sold as a single unit and finished in teal. The package gives its measurements as 2.125 inches in length, 1.31 inches in depth and 1.66 inches in width, and its weight as .5 oz. It runs on two LR-41 button cells, which the package states are included, and the back of the carton carries a five-year warranty band across the top. It sits in the cock rings part of the catalog, and the whole of its operation is one button and one setting.
Materials and build
Two materials are named on the package: silicone for the ring and ABS plastic for the bullet. That split is visible in the bare-product photograph, which shows a teal body and a pair of pale caps with a glossier finish sitting either side of the raised pad. A small metal-finish fitting sits at the crown between those two caps.
Silicone is a synthetic polymer built on a repeating silicon-oxygen backbone rather than the carbon backbone of most plastics, which is why it stays flexible across a wide temperature range and takes warm water without complaint. The package describes the material here as creamy smooth silicone. ABS is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a rigid thermoplastic you have met many times without being told its name — it is what interlocking building bricks, appliance housings and small electronics shells are made from, and it gets used wherever a part has to hold its shape and take a knock. Pairing the two is a sensible division of labor: the flexible part goes where the product has to give, the rigid part goes where a motor has to be held still.
A closed oval opening sits at the bottom of the ring. The wall thins as it comes round that opening and thickens upward into a pad on the upper face, and that pad is covered in tapered nubs arranged in rows and angled outward. The package calls them tickling nubs and describes them as strategically placed. The opposite face of the ring is smooth.
The package also states the item is phthalate and latex free. The latex half of that line is worth unpacking, because the package raises it and never explains it: latex is a natural rubber tapped from the Hevea brasiliensis tree and is one of the better-known contact allergens in everyday products, from gloves to balloons. Silicone is a different substance entirely — it is not a type of latex and does not contain it. For anyone who reacts to natural rubber, that printed line carries real information rather than a slogan. Phthalates, the other half, are a family of plasticizers used to soften some flexible plastics; the package states none are present in this item.
Power and controls
Power comes from two LR-41 batteries, and the package states they are supplied with the unit. LR-41 is a standard alkaline button cell — the flat, coin-shaped type used in watches, small thermometers and penlights — and it is a common designation sold in most places that sell batteries, so replacements are easy to source when the supplied pair runs down. Because the cells come with the item, there is nothing to buy separately before the first use.
The package specifies a single-speed motor and one-button control. One setting means operating the unit is a single press, with nothing to learn and nothing to step through.

How to clean and store it
The package prints its own care line: clean with Zero Tolerance toy cleaner and a warm water rinse. Because the carton also states the unit is waterproof and submersible, rinsing it under a warm tap is within what the maker specifies rather than something you have to risk.
The nubbed pad has more surface area than the smooth face, so it is worth a moment's attention under running water. Let the unit dry fully before it goes away.
Who it is for
This is an adult product for buyers 18 and over, and it suits someone who wants a straightforward powered ring rather than a featured one. Two named materials, one setting, one button, two batteries in the box — that is the whole specification, and for a first purchase in this format there is a case for keeping it that short. Buyers who want more than one intensity should look at other models in our toys range, because the package is explicit that this motor runs at a single speed.
It is also a reasonable pick if cleaning matters to you. The printed waterproof and submersible rating means the unit can go under the tap, which makes the care routine in the men's range about as simple as it gets for a powered item.
Good to know
A wearable ring of this kind should be comfortable at all times. If it feels uncomfortable at any point, take it off.
The package states the item contains no phthalates and no latex. Phthalates are one of the chemical families California tracks under its Proposition 65 right-to-know law, and the state publishes plain-language background on how those warnings work at the OEHHA Proposition 65 warnings site and in its chemical fact sheets. Neither page refers to this item; both are general reading published by the state for anyone who wants to understand the labeling system.
The carton carries a five-year warranty band. Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer rather than by this store, so contact Zero Tolerance for the conditions that apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Teal Tickler made of?
The ring is silicone and the bullet is ABS plastic — both materials are named on the package. The same panel states the item is phthalate and latex free, which matters if you react to natural rubber, since silicone is a different substance and contains no latex.
Does it need batteries, and are they included?
Yes, it takes two LR-41 button cells and the package states they are included. LR-41 is a common alkaline coin cell of the sort used in watches, so replacements are easy to find when the supplied pair runs down.
Can it get wet, and how should I clean it?
Yes — the package states the unit is waterproof and submersible. Zero Tolerance prints its own care instruction on the carton: clean with Zero Tolerance toy cleaner and a warm water rinse, then let it dry before storing.
How many speeds does it have?
One. The package specifies a single-speed motor with one-button control, so there is a single setting.
How is the order packaged for delivery?
Orders ship in plain, unbranded outer packaging. It will not show the Gear Isle name.
