What is a Cock Ring?
Known by many terms, including erection rings, penis rings, shaft rings, cock rings, cock rings, cock rings and c rings, these pleasure enhancers are rings that are worn and usually placed around the base of the penis.
Made from a variety of materials, from soft flexible silicone to rigid stainless steel and everything in between, they are designed to enhance pleasure and maximize sexual performance for the user, setting the pace for intense, long-lasting sex.
What does a penis ring do?
"Multi-tasking" is a term that refers to the properties of a penis ring. Its primary purpose, is to prevent blood flow from escaping the penis when erect. The penis ring has long been a firm favourite of men's toys, but today, thanks to a dose of innovation in sex toys and a little imagination, there are many rings that can be used for other pleasure-inducing purposes without requiring a penis.
Perfect for playing alone or with a partner, penis rings are an essential toy. With vibrations, textured pads and different levels of intensity, all now included in some of the most successful penis rings on the market, and there are limitless possibilities for what it can do on its own.
How does a penis ring work?
Penis rings work by applying pressure, blocking the flow of blood down to the penis, which means that blood remains trapped in the penis for longer. This increased amount of blood in the penis results in a stronger erection and can increase sensitivity, which can contribute to erections feeling harder and lasting longer than usual. That's not bad, is it?
Your individual experience may vary depending on the penis ring you choose (more on the different types below), but one thing is for sure: penis rings can open up a whole new world of pleasure for you to explore.
Do penis rings make you last longer?
Many people find penis rings useful for managing erectile dysfunction, others wear a penis ring purely for extra pleasure gains. In theory, penis rings will help you almost indefinitely to maintain your erection and may help delay ejaculation although the effects on longer lasting sex depend on many individual factors.
Penis rings mimic the "compression" technique for delayed ejaculation, which many people believe helps them last longer during sex.
How to wear a penis ring
Some people choose penis rings that are worn on the shaft of the penis, while others like the feel of rings that go around the penis and testicles.
Whichever type you decide to try (or maybe you want to try both), our handy guide below will give you the best tips and tricks on how to wear a penis ring and how to make the most of your new toy.
Lubricate
You should put on a penis ring when your penis is flaccid, and it's usually easier to put it on with the help of a lubricant. We generally recommend using a good quality water-based lubricant, as this is compatible with all penis rings, regardless of the type of material they are made from. Use plenty of lubricant to facilitate the fitting and use of your penis ring.
Put the ring on
The rules of the game are simple. Simply slide the ring over the base and then down the shaft, making sure it rests on the base. When wearing a penis ring in front of the testicles, you can also wear it when you are partially erect.
If you wear a ring for both the penis and the testicles, which is behind your testicles at the base of the penis, go through the testicles first, one by one. Then you can gently fold your penis through the ring and slide it into place.
First the ring, then the condom
If you're using protection at the same time you're wearing the ring, put on your ring first, then the condom. Putting your ring on a flaccid or semi-hard penis is much more comfortable and will allow you to get hard before putting on the condom. For the best and safest results, the condom and penis ring should ideally not touch each other.
Placing the condom under the penis ring can cause unwanted friction and pressure stretching, leading to tears in the condom and preventing your method of protection from working as it should.
Schedule your session
Never wear your ring for too long. It is recommended that you only wear the ring for up to 30 minutes at a time. Wearing it for longer than this could cause damage to the valves and blood vessels in your penis. Never sleep with your penis ring on as this could become dangerous.
How to fit your penis ring
Knowing how to insert a penis ring is paramount to reap all the benefits of your new pleasure toy. Before you rely on your penis ring in the bedroom, we recommend that you test it for size and fit. Under no circumstances should the penis ring feel painful or be distracting. If you see a visible narrowing of the penis where the penis ring sits or your penis becomes very red or bluish, it is too small and you should remove it immediately.
You may find that you need to try a range of penis ring sizes before you find one that suits you.
How to use a penis ring for solo play
Penis rings aren't just about how to stay harder for longer or just to increase your stamina during sex with a partner. Try wearing a vibrating penis ring during solo sessions to add vibrations that will get your mind off masturbation. You may find that wearing a penis ring is especially beneficial if you generally struggle with erectile dysfunction.
Penis rings can be an excellent companion to solo adventures and for vaginalists as well. In fact, despite their name, penis rings don't even need to be on a penis to provide pleasure to you and your partner. Why not try slipping a rubber ring that vibrates around two or three fingers to turn it into a clitoral vibrator stimulator?
You can also attach a vibrating ring to your favorite vibrator to create a custom vibrator for totally custom blended play. Plus, most penis rings are small enough to fit in your pocket, which makes them perfect for weekends away or to have on hand in case you get in the mood.
Plus, if you buy a set of penis rings and find that the smaller size doesn't suit you, you can try threading your balls through it one by one and use it as a testicle ring instead. The options are truly endless!
Are penis rings safe?
Yes, a penis ring is perfectly safe to use as long as you follow the instructions on how to wear it and ensure you don't wear it for longer than the recommended time. Always check the packaging, which should provide instructions on this.
Under no circumstances should the penis ring cause painful restriction. A penis ring that is too tight can do more harm than good.
So as long as you play safely, you can sit back, relax and enjoy.
How long can you wear a penis ring?
You can wear a cock ring for up to 30 minutes. Anything longer than that can overly restrict blood flow, so don't overdo it. Since penis rings restrict blood flow, it is generally safe for your penis to have a slightly swollen appearance when you wear it, with pronounced veins and a reddish color.
However, it is important to always remove your penis ring after half an hour to allow the blood flow to your penis to return to normal. Ideally, wear your penis ring only once in any 24 hour period and if your erection ever lasts longer than 4 hours (with or without a penis ring) seek medical attention.
