What are the advantages of using a cock ring?
- Keeps your erection hard and delays ejaculation: A cock ring will help you maintain erection by restricting blood flow. It also delays ejaculation, which can be very beneficial for men who suffer from premature ejaculation.
- Intensifies the male orgasm: A cock ring keeps constant pressure on the penis, which can intensify your orgasm. Your ejaculations will also be stronger and last longer.
- Enlarges the penis: A cock ring keeps constant pressure on the penis, increasing its length and thickness.
- Treats erectile dysfunction: Cock rings can help treat erectile dysfunction by maintaining a firmer and longer erection.
Should I opt for a rigid or a stretchy cockring?
When buying a cock ring, it is important to consider the type of material it is made from. Cock rings can be made from firmer materials (such as metal) or stretchy materials (such as silicone or TPR). Each material has different advantages and disadvantages.
A silicone ring
Silicone cock rings are an excellent choice for beginners. They offer the perfect combination of flexibility, ease of use, durability and comfort. Their stretchy nature allows them to perfectly adapt to the shape and size of your penis for your comfort. Silicone is also easy to handle, making it convenient to put on and take off.
Silicone is also a durable material, resistant to scratches, water and high temperatures, so your cock ring will last for years if you take proper care of it. It is also incredibly soft to the touch. Silicone cock rings are comfortable to wear and can be used for long periods of time without causing any discomfort.
A TPE/TPR ring
TPE/TPR cock rings are the perfect option for men looking for a ring that is stretchy, comfortable and easy on the budget. The benefits are similar to silicone cockrings, but TPE/TPR rings are slightly more rigid and much less expensive.
Indeed, TPE/TPR cockrings are generally much cheaper than silicone cockrings. This means that even those on a tight budget can afford a high-quality cock ring!
It is important to note that TPE/TPR cock rings are not as durable as silicone cock rings and cannot be sterilised in boiling water. Please remember to consider these factors before choosing a TPE/TPR cock ring!
A metal ring
Metal cock rings are well suited to experienced users looking for a very intense experience. Generally made from stainless steel, they are rigid and provide a very firm pressure around the penis.
Plus, metal cock rings are heavier than the models described above, so the feeling of pressure is more intense. As they are very firm, they can be more difficult to remove. It is important to choose the right size of metal cock ring, as the ring will not adapt to the size of your penis.
A leather ring
Leather cock rings are perfect for BDSM lovers who want to add some spice to their bondage play. Their unique look makes using them even more exciting.
You’ll love wearing a leather cock ring during your fetish play sessions. You can also use your leather ring the "classic" way, just for fun.
Plus, leather cock rings are often fitted with snaps for a secure fit and a firmer feel. This custom fit will give you an even more intense experience.
How to find the perfect size for your ring
Measuring your penis for the perfect fit
You’ll need to measure your penis correctly to choose the right cock ring for your penis size. This is incredibly important for cock rings made from rigid materials (like metal), as silicone cock rings are more flexible and will easily adapt to the shape and size of your penis. Most cock rings are sold by diameter, so it is important to know how to measure your member to make the best choice.
You can use a simple piece of string to measure your penis. Wrap it around the base of your penis when it's at rest (or behind your testicles if you want to wear your ring there) and measure the length where the two ends meet. This is the circumference of your penis. To find the diameter, simply divide this circumference by pi (3.14159).
Choose an adjustable cockring
When in doubt, opt for a set of cock rings
Spice up your experience!
Vibrating cock ring
A vibrating cock ring is one of the most popular models for those who want to increase the intensity of their experience. This type of cock ring is equipped with a vibrating motor that stimulates both partners’ most sensitive areas. For the person wearing the cock ring, the vibrations will increase the pleasure and even intensify the orgasm. For the partner, the vibrations stimulate the clitoris during vaginal penetration and the anus during anal sex. While vibrating cock rings are generally more expensive than traditional cock rings, they offer more intense pleasure than classic cock rings.
Double cock ring
A double cock ring, also known as a double penis ring, will dramatically increase the sensations you feel and the effects of the toy. Wearing one ring around the base of the penis and the other around the testicles will put an extra amount of pressure on your erogenous zones for even more stimulation. Double cock rings are also designed to stay in place without slipping.
Triple cock ring
A triple cock ring offers threefold stimulation thanks to its three complementary rings. The metal version, designed for more experienced users, provides firm, consistent pressure across multiple areas of your intimate area for heightened pleasure. The silicone version stands out for its flexibility and its comfort, assuring optimal levels of adjustment and more gradual stimulation. Lastly, there’s a model that possesses an integrated vibrator, to combine more classic sensations produced by cock rings with targeted pulses, bringing a more playful, personalised dimension to the experience.
Quadruple cock ring
A quadruple cock ring allows for more considerable stimulation across a larger range of erogenous zones. The metal version offers maximal, uniform pressure and is ideal for those looking for more extreme sensations. The silicone version, however, favours adjustment and comfort whilst still equally allocating pressure. This model is ideal for those looking to explore a well-rounded sensory experience that’s adapted to their preferences.
Cock ring with butt plug
A cock ring with butt plug is a 2-in-1 toy that combines the benefits of a traditional cock ring with those of an anal plug. That way, the toy will stimulate your penis and prostate at the same time, for even more sensations. This type of cock ring is ideal for men who want to explore prostate pleasure for more intense orgasms.
Glow-in-the-dark cock ring
A cock ring that glows in the dark! This is a unique toy that will add a playful touch to your lovemaking session. These cock rings are made of materials that glow in the dark, making them fun and original. Surprise your partner in the dark with one of these glowing toys. These cock rings can also be used for theme parties and celebrations!
