Cock rings (also known as C-Rings) are sex toys that constrict blood flow and keep it from leaving the penis to produce heightened sensation and maintain firmer, longer-lasting (in most cases) erection. Cock rings are worn around the penis, either at the base of the shaft or around the base of the shaft and behind the testicles depending on the amount of constriction you want. They can be worn during both solo and partnered play.

If you intend to place the cock ring around your shaft and testicles, your penis should be semi-flaccid and flexible enough to bend. Start by stretching the cock ring and putting one testicle in at a time, then push the shaft down through the ring before bringing it over and around until it is lying flat against your pelvis. Use lube to cut down on friction as you adjust the cock ring into place.

Medium Constriction

Once you're familiar with putting on a cock ring, you may find that you may need more constriction after a while. This is where medium-stretch cock rings come in. These types of cock rings still have a lot of elasticity but are more solid and offer more constriction of blood flow.

Sizing

When shopping for your first cock ring, simpler is always better. Look for a cock ring made from super stretchy TPR/TPE or Silicone or for an adjustable style. Cock rings with a lot of stretch can fit most penis sizes, so don't be fooled by their size (if you have a larger penis, you should look for a stretchy ring with a larger diameter). If you opt for an adjustable style, be sure to sufficiently tighten your cock ring enough. If a cock ring is loose, it won't work for its intended purpose.

Firm Rings

For advanced cock ring users, there are firm cock rings with little to no stretch. These are for folks with a lot of experience using cock rings and looking for the ultimate level of constriction. These types of cock rings are made of more rigid materials. You can find firm nitrile versions of them here.

Other Types of Cock Rings

While the primary function of a cock ring is to maintain more rigid erections, some styles vibrate and are shaped explicitly for partnered play and perineum stimulation when flipped upside down. You can also find cock rings that offer internal anal stimulation via attached anal beads or plugs.

Safety Tips

Cock rings are entirely safe when used as directed by the manufacturer. Still, it's also essential to keep a few things in mind.

  • Check in with your health care provider before using a cock ring to treat Erectile dysfunction or if you have certain blood conditions
  • Don't wear a cock ring for more than 20 mins at a time. This time may vary as you gain experience.
  • A little   not only aids in putting on a cock ring but also helps you remove it.
  •  the cock ring immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain or if you notice bruises are starting to form.
