Penis Toy Sizing Guide: Measure for a Cock Ring, Pocket Pussy, Fleshlight or a Penis Sleeve

How to Measure the Penis

The length and the circumference of the penis are the two measurements you need to take from your erect penis, as these measurements will determine the size of the penis toy you need to get. To start, first take a flexible tape measure, like a tailor’s tape measure. You can also use a piece of non-elastic string and a ruler to compare the length against. Then, proceed by giving yourself an erection in any way you like.

Take the tape measure or string, and hold the end of the tape firmly against your body, pressing until you feel the pubic bone. Note where the tape meets the end of the penis and take a reading. If you are using a string, mark the place on the string and compare it against a ruler. You’ve now measured the length of your penis.

To measure the circumference, wrap the tape measure or string around the fattest part of the penis shaft. Mark where the tape meets and take a reading. Now you have the girth of your penis. Since many male toys describe the toy’s diameter, you need to divide the girth of your penis by 3.14, and you will get the diameter of your shaft.

Knowing the exact size of your penis is vital to choose a well-fitting masturbator or a blowjob toy. Most handheld masturbators usually have about 5 to 6 inches in length and can stretch from 0.25” to about 2 inches. If nature is inclined your way and you have a huge penis, don’t worry, as there are larger versions that are super-stretchy and can accommodate penis diameters of about 3 inches.

How to Measure for a Cock Ring

Measuring for a penis or cock ring is slightly different than measuring for a penis toy like a pocket pussy. For this, you need to measure the base of the penis where the cock ring will sit. Start by getting an erection, and make sure it is a strong erection; if you are not fully aroused, you will take the wrong measurements.

You can ask your partner to help with this, or you can do it alone, but a solid erection is a must. Then, take your tape measure or string and wrap it around the penis at the base of the erect penis. Mark where the tape meets, and now you have the girth or circumference of the base of the penis. 

To find out the diameter, simply divide the girth by 3.14, and you’ll get the actual diameter, which you can use to choose a suitable cock ring. Please note that this is the inner diameter of the cock ring, so be careful when choosing, to get the correct size. Also, it may be okay to go with a tad smaller diameter, as the primary goal of the cock ring is to restrict and trap blood flow to the penis. But be mindful not to order a model that is too small, as it can be potentially harmful.

How to Measure for a Pocket Pussy or a Fleshlight

Measuring for a pocket pussy is identical to measuring the penis for a male masturbator. However, even though these may not look like it, pocket pussies are usually super-stretchy and can accommodate most penis sizes. Give yourself an erection, and then measure the length of your penis with a tape measure or a string that you’ll then compare to a ruler. Then, measure the girth/circumference at the widest part and divide the girth by 3.14 to get the diameter.

Usually, the pocket pussies are very stretchy and range from 0.25 inches to about 2 inches in diameter. If you get an open-ended model, the usual length it can accommodate is about 5-6 inches, while the close-ended models are usually longer for about 1 inch.

How to Measure for a Penis Sleeve/Extender

The penis sleeve is an interesting male toy that is perfect for adding length and girth to your penis. When you select a penis sleeve, you need to measure the length and diameter of the penis but also know what type of penis sleeve you will get. If you choose a capped penis sleeve, then you must measure the length and circumference of your penis, following the method we described above.

Using a tape measure, measure the entire length of your erect penis and the circumference at the widest part, but also make sure you measure the base of the erect penis, as many of these models have c-ring-like bases that attach the sleeve to the penis.

If you are thinking of getting an open-ended cock extender that only adds girth to your penis, then you should measure the circumference of the penis at the tip and near the base of the penis or where the extender straps stretch over the penis. Don’t worry if you are not precisely precise for this measurement, as most penis sleeves and penis extenders are made from flexible, super-stretchy materials that fit nicely around the penis and accommodate it nicely.
