How to Choose a Cock Ring

What is a Cock Ring?

The cock ring is a ring that you place on the base of the penis where it restricts blood flow, keeping more blood in the erect penis, which results in a stronger, harder erection that can last a long time. These are simple and elegant sex toys for men, and it is no wonder that people have used these since ancient times, when they made them out of gold, silver, and even animal products. In the 1800s, cock rings were made from vulcanized rubber, and by the 1930s, latex rubber cock rings became a staple. Today, cock rings are primarily made from silicone, as this is one of the most body-safe, comfortable materials for sex toys.

How to Choose a Cock Ring?

The cock ring does the simple task of providing pressure on the base of the penis, trapping blood inside, and making erections harder. But you shouldn’t simply wrap a hair tie on the base of the penis, as it would be painful and potentially dangerous; thus, you need to get a proper cock ring designed for this function. You should consider your needs, expectations, and experience level, so please read the following questions and make your choice based on your answers:

• What is your experience level – if you are a complete novice, we suggest you select a cock ring that is soft and stretchy and one that is less restrictive until you learn how to use it. More experienced users can go for more advanced models.
• What is your expected sensation – if you are using a cock ring to delay orgasms, we suggest you get a model that has a loop around the base of the penis and another loop around the testicles. It will effectively trap blood in the penis and restrict the balls, making it perfect for delaying an orgasm.
• Do you want extra stimulation – if you are interested in extra stimulation, we suggest you take a look at vibrating cock rings, cock rings with clitoral stimulators and models with other exciting features.

After you answer these questions, you can check the following factors about choosing a penis ring:

• Material – always prefer to get sex toys, including cock rings made from body-safe materials like silicone. The silicone c-rings are stretchy, comfortable, and effortless to clean and maintain. These are also beginner-friendly as you can more easily put them on and take them off. Metal c-rings are for more experienced users.
• Size & Fit – measure the circumference at the base of your erect penis, and divide the circumference by 3.14 to get the diameter of the c-ring you need. Use this measurement to choose a model that fits you. If you get a too-loose model, it will slip, and a too-tight model will be painful.
• Additional Features – the main use of the penis ring is to make men last longer, but you can find models that vibrate, cock rings with prostate massagers, DP cock rings, adjustable cock rings, and other exciting models.

Types of Cock Rings

Cock or penis rings come in a great variety, and here we list some of the fantastic penis rings we have in stock for you:

• Basic Cock Rings – these are simple round rings that you place on the base of the penis, trapping the blood inside and providing you with heightened sensations and stronger orgasms.
• Vibrating Cock Rings – these are high-tech c-rings that have built-in vibrating units or loops for attaching a vibrating bullet, and using these enhances the sensations and overall enjoyment for both partners.
• Cock & Ball Rings – these come with two loops, one that goes at the base of the penis and the other that goes over the balls.
• Metal Cock Rings – these are cock rings made from metal, which is not elastic and does not stretch. Instead, you need to be careful when using such cock rings, as you need to get a well-fitting model; we recommend that only experienced users use metal cock rings.
• Adjustable Cock Rings – these are made from elastic strings that you can tighten around your penis and testicles and adjust the pressure and feeling of tightness.

• DP Cock Rings – these are designed to provide you with an “extra” penis you can use to perform double penetration on your partner.

Benefits of Using a Cock Ring

Using a cock ring is fun, as you will feel a harder erection, you can last longer and enjoy other benefits. So, our experts list the main advantages of using a C-ring:

• Delaying orgasms – the primary purpose of a c-ring is to delay orgasms, as when the blood flow to the penis is restricted, it leads to you being able to last longer and stave off your orgasm. This is perfect for men with premature ejaculation, as it can help fix a serious issue for both partners.
• Enhanced masturbation sessions – you can wear a cock ring while playing solo, and it is an excellent way to enhance the sensations and practice stamina.
• Longer Sex Sessions – the constriction on the base of the penis makes men have long-lasting erections, allowing men to have sex for longer without ejaculating. So, you can have a long sex session with your partner, culminating in an intense orgasm.
• Help with ED – erectile dysfunction is a health issue that the cock ring can help with, as it physically traps blood in the penis, making the penis harder and allowing the man to have a pleasurable sexual experience.
• Confidence booster – keeping an erection is related to physical and psychological conditions, and wearing a c-ring helps you overcome any problem. It is a massive ego booster, and when you add in the more extended appearance of the penis, your partner will be sure to notice.

Tips for Safe C-Ring Use

We always remind you to be diligent and only buy penis rings made from body-safe materials like silicone and metal. It is why our experts share the following tips on safe cock ring use:

• Prefer to get a cock ring made from elastic, stretchy material like silicone. It is the best material for beginners and people looking to expand their sexual experimentation.
• Buy a well-fitting model that will sit comfortably. Measure the circumference of your penis and calculate the diameter, and buy a cock ring that is as close to this size as possible.
• Wear a c-ring for up to 20 minutes at a time, as it is enough to enjoy an excellent sex session while you won’t have any health risks. Any longer sessions can cause pain and numbness to the penis and even serious harm to your health.
• Lube is necessary when donning a c-ring on and when doffing one. We advise you to use water-based lube, which is compatible with all materials and is recommended for vaginal sex.
• Always put on the c-ring on a semi-erect penis. When the penis is completely flaccid, you can’t fit it as it will slide, and if it is in full erection, it is impossible to put it on.
• Clean the c-ring with soap and water or your preferred sex toy cleaner, and always store it in a clean protective bag to ensure it will be clean and ready whenever you like.
