What are the advantages of using a cock ring?

Cock rings are a must-have toy for men who want to enhance their sexual experience. Using a cock ring has several benefits! 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.

These benefits may vary from person to person and it is important to consult a doctor before using a cock ring if you have any health or medical concerns. You should also choose a cock ring that is appropriate for your level of experience and practice.
By using a cock ring regularly and following the instructions, you’ll be able to enhance your solo or partner play sessions.

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.

To help you make your choice, the LOVE Team has put together a list of the different types of cock rings available in the shop, along with a comparison of their pros and cons.

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.

LOVE Team Tip
Silicone cock rings can also be sterilised in boiling water, so you can safely share them with a partner.

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!

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.

LOVE Team Tip
It should also be noted that metal cock rings can be heated or cooled to increase the sensations. Do not heat them up too much to avoid burning yourself.

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

Choosing a cock ring that fits your penis size perfectly is essential for your comfort and safety. You’ll have to measure the circumference of your penis before shopping to get the perfect fit. In this section, we'll help you choose the perfect size for your cock 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 cockrings made from rigid materials (like metal), as silicone cockrings 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 a cock ring that fits snugly around your penis without squeezing it too tightly. A cock ring that is too tight can cause pain and injury, while one that is too wide will not work properly. So it's important to find a balance between fit and comfort for the best possible experience.

Choose an adjustable cockring

Adjustable cock rings are an excellent choice for those who are unsure which size will work for them. These cock rings can be easily adjusted to perfectly fit the size of your penis. This makes them incredibly comfortable and pleasurable to wear.
Adjustable cock rings are also great for those who like to experiment with different sensations, as they allow you to change the pressure on the penis and provide a range of sensations of varying intensity. You can adjust the pressure to suit your personal preferences, or even let your partner do the adjusting for naughty fun.

When in doubt, opt for a set of cock rings

If you're still not sure which size cock ring is best for you, buying a set of cock rings may be a good option. These kits usually include several different sizes of cock rings, so you can discover which one is best suited to your penis.
If you have a cock ring set, start with the largest ring to get used to the feel and then move on to tighter sizes to adjust the pressure as you go. This will help you to find the size that works best for you, both in terms of pressure and comfort.
It is also important to note that cock ring kits are often a budget-friendly choice: you can try several different sizes at a lower price than buying each cock ring individually.

Spice up your experience!

If you're looking to spice up your cock ring experience, there are several different cock rings with even more advanced features. Whether you want to add vibrations to your session or enjoy double stimulation, you're sure to find the perfect cock ring to suit your needs and experience level.

Double cock ring
