Vibrating vs Non-Vibrating Cock Rings

Consider that when a vibrating cock ring is turned off, it is a non-vibrating cock ring! You are more than welcome to use any motorized toy while powered off of course, so if vibration doesn’t float your boat one day, then you have the option to use it without. The only drawback is that vibrating cock rings are slightly bulkier to accommodate the motor, and also a little bit pricier.

Some cock rings are designed with the intention of stimulating the perineum (with or without vibration) while others have small motors that really just reach the immediate surroundings of your orifice. Others have longer, more extended surface areas to that parts like the clit or perineum can be stimulated.

As a general rule, anything with a motor is going to cost a little more than something non-motorized. If you just want to get familiar with the sensation of a cock ring on it’s own and don’t want to spend much, a simple elastomer or silicone cock ring, or a cock ring with an adjustable size, will be a great first-time pick. Elastomer will be even more affordable than silicone – there are many different types of rubber cock rings, and silicone tends to be the most expensive material.

Cock rings com in all shapes and sizes! There are vibrating rabbit cock rings, vibrating cock sheaths that stay in place with a cock ring, ones that attach to butt plugs, ones designed to cradle the balls, app-compatible cock rings, silicone vibrating cock rings, and a whole lot more. It’s always a good idea to go with what your intuition tells you, but always read reviews for more information on specific styles!

Powerful cock rings in particular can be used a variety of ways. Put one on a dildo, and it becomes a vibrating dildo! Or, stick your fingers through one and it can become a finger vibe. Sometimes people simply use cock rings as small, external vibrators with no insertable aspect at all!

Specific materials will only exist in a non-vibrating format. For instance, a leather cock ring is preferred by many because it is less sticky than something made from a rubber polymer, but there are no motorized leather cock rings. Similarly, elastomer is a less pricey material that primarily exists in non-vibrating cock ring formats. There are always exceptions, but these materials are generally not made to last as long as silicone. However, silicone lubricant cannot be used on silicone or elastomer, but can be used with leather, so there are many things to consider when choosing a material.

Consider how you want to use the cock ring in order to determine which one to buy. While vibrating cock rings are a lot of fun, you make not want the added bulk between you and your partner. If you want something that can be used in a bath or shower, make sure it’s waterproof if it vibrates. These are just a few bits of criteria you’ll want to consider in making your purchase.

Finally, if you’ve decided on a vibrating cock ring, consider whether you’d like a battery operated or rechargeable cock ring. Rechargeable cock rings tend to be more powerful, quieter, and easy to re-power, but you may prefer a battery operated one if you are traveling and want to make sure it won’t accidentally turn on. Battery operated vibrating cock rings are also more inexpensive!
