7 of the Best Cock Rings

• Harder Erections — With more blood in your erect penis, you’ll likely find that you feel much harder.
• Look Bigger — More blood in your boner can also give you a slight boost in the size department! Don’t expect a miracles, though.
• More Intense Sensations —
• Last Longer — By stopping so much blood from flowing away from the penis, you can maintain your erection for longer.
• Pleasing Your Partner — We’re not saying that you need a cock ring to satisfy your partner, just that a cock ring can help you provide extra stimulation! Vibrating cock rings can stimulate the clitoris or perineum during penetrative sex – a great solution for the many vulva-owners out there who can’t orgasm from penetrative sex alone. There are even some cock rings with a dildo attached for some spectacular double-penetration action!

The benefits of a penis ring can be felt on any penis-owner, regardless of size, girth or other factors.

That being said, penis rings can be a valuable aid if:

• You experience erectile dysfunction. One type of erectile dysfunction, for instance, is called ‘venous leakage’, which is a bit of a scary way to say that the tissues in the penis can fail to properly ‘lock in’ blood. A tight cock ring can help with this by preventing the blood from leaving the penis and maintaining the erection.
• You have performance anxiety. It can be hard to stay erect when you’re stressed or nervous, but using a cock ring can make it easier to stay hard, which can make you feel more at ease and ‘in the moment’, which, in turn, can make your erection even better! It’s a cycle of good things.

Of course, using a cock ring doesn’t come without some risks and precautions.

If you have a blood or nerve disorder, or take a blood-thinning medication, then it may not mix well with how cock rings work to restrict blood flow. If you’re in doubt, talk with your physician before popping one on.

There are also some important safety tips to keep in mind when using a penis ring:

• Make sure to use the right size ring.
• Never wear it for longer than 30 minutes.
• Use lube to prevent any friction between your cock and the ring.
• Clean your cock ring after every use. If it’s a single-use ring, dispose of it properly.

While you’re enjoying your c-ring, you (and your partner) should also keep an eye out for signs that your ring is too tight. These include:

• Abnormal swelling
• Numbness
• Pain
• Irritation
• Changes in color or temperature

If you notice any of these, you should quickly but gently remove your cock ring. It should return to normal afterward, but if it doesn’t (or you’re at all concerned), contact a medical professional.

When you read about cock rings, you often see them paired with the phrase ‘results may vary’. There’s considerable debate as to whether cock rings actually do all the magical things they promise.

In reality, whether your cock ring works really depends on your body and the circumstances you’re in.

Some penis owners respond better to penis rings than others, and you might not experience the same effects one day as another.

However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a go! If you’re disappointed with the results, it might be that you need to experiment with placement or try a different type of cock ring.

Keep in mind that, even if you don’t feel harder or bigger in your penis ring, it could still help your partner. A vibrating cock ring will still provide that all-important clit stimulation, just like a hands-free vibrator!

Cock rings are generally safe sex toys if you never wear them for more than 30 minutes at a time.

So, answering if cock rings will harm you has have a lot more to do with how you use them.

Here is how:

• Make sure your cock ring is not too tight! It should be a snug fit but not feel overwhelmingly tight. Check out our blog with a guide on how to measure your penis for the right cock ring sizing.
• Don’t wear it for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. Let your dong breathe for a bit and let the blood circulate normally once in a while. You can always put it back on after a while.
• Take it off immediately if you notice numbness, discoloration, or pain. This might be a sign that something is too tight down there and the blood flow is way too restricted.

Sometimes you want a real tight squeeze, and sometimes you want a gentle but firm hold. This is where adjustable cock rings, like this Fifty Shades of Grey Adjustable Cock Ring, come into their own.

A vibrating cock ring is a fantastic sex toy for couples as it provides awesome stimulation for both partners. Both through the penis shaft, that vibrations will transfer too, and additionally directly from the cock ring vibrator itself. Especially good for hetereo couples if cock ring is aimed to hit the clitoris.

A teardrop cockring can serve two purposes. Shaped as a teardrop with a small outgoing bulb it is typically aimed back at the wearers perinium. It is also worn around the balls, so that there is better access to the perinium area, and will stimulate by pressing into this area. It can, however, also be aimed the other direction and be used to stimulate the parter – really good when riding. Sometimes teardrop cock rings will also have a vibrator.

A dual cock ring is a double ring system, that are typically attached together. One ring goes around the penis shaft, while another goes around the balls. This is meant to restrict blood flow in two places for an even more effectful experience.

A tri cock ring is a triple ring system. The cock rings goes around the shaft, around the shaft and balls, and lastly around only the balls. While the lasty cock ring that only sits around the balls does not have a blood restricting purpose it does help in other ways. First, because it can imitate the feeling of being under control like a chastity cage. Secondly, because it tightens around the balls, which in itself can feel wonderful.

If you want to have a cock ring, that at the same time works as an extra strap on dick then you can choose to find and buy a double penetration cock rings.

The strong magnets will keep the ring in place as you play, giving you all that weighty goodness that feels so good.

Then, when you’re done, just pull them apart — it’s that simple!

A beaded cock ring is a ring with small beads that are sometimes visible through the see-through silicone or TPE material they are made of. The small beads will stimulate your penis shaft. Especially as or if the cock ring move up or down.

So, a BDSM cock ring can refer to many different types of cock rings. For example “gates of hell”, which is basically X number of metal cock rings in differing sizes mounted to a leather straps. It can also refer to electro cock rings, cock rings with spikes or any other pain-inflicting mechanism. Some BDSM cock rings are also referred to as cock and ball torture toys.

Some cock rings are only made for the testicles and are therefore called testicle rings. They are not meant to go around the penis shaft and balls but rather only around the base of the balls. This will wrap around the balls and cause a tightening sensation that combined with other stimulations to the shaft can give some powerful orgasms. Sometimes they are also reffered to as ball stretchers.

A glans ring sits right after the penis gland. This is more of a decorative cock ring than anything.

It is hard to keep it in place but will suddenly stimulate the glans.

Get twice the stimulation with a dual cock ring. There’s a cock ring that goes in front of the scrotum, and a testicle ring that goes behind.

I am not saying, that you shoudn’t avoid buying a cock ring that is too big for you. Ideally, you should get the right size. However, I honestly believe that getting a too small penis ring is more critical, as that can be a risk to your health. Typically most men tend to buy penis ring that are over their true size, so even though this is a word of warning that might not be needed, I feel it is important to say.

Do not go out, thinking that buying the cheapest cock ring will do you any good. For one, the materials will typically be questionable at best. Secondly, a cheap cock ring can prove dangerous if it hard to remove and completely cuts off blod flow. Cock rings are already very cheap to begin with, so it is definitely not worth it to try and save a few extra bucks by buying the cheapest plastic option.

If you are a beginner to cock rings, and you are looking for your first one, then please do not buy one of either metal or any other hard material. Choose a soft silicone cock ring. They are a lot easier to use and will give you a way better first time experience than any of the harder and unflexible materials out there.

First of all, you need to find out where you want your new cock ring to be places. And the base, head or around your testicles. Typically any cock ring you purchase will mention if it is specifically for the head or testicles. But those are also a good idea to measure. Even if you do purchase a normal cockring, you might want to place it in a thicker area of your penis shaft. Therefore, measure the area you intend to use. Typically the very base of your penis.

Take either your flexible measuring tape or the string and wrap around your penis. If it is flaccid when measuring you should be able to fit about a finger in between. Preferable have an erect penis when measuring. Then measure while it feels tight and snug.

If you use a string, mark the ends that meet. Use the string markings to measure on the ruler. This measure is your ideal cock ring circumfrence. Most retailers will use this measure. If they instead use the diameter you can calculate this by PI (3.14). So, if your circumfrence is 2 inches, then the calculation used should be 2 / 3.14 = 0.64 inches. This is the diameter.
