Cock Rings 101: How to Choose the Right Penis Ring

Welcome to Cock Rings 101, where we'll guide you through the exciting world of cock rings. If you're new to the realm of sex toys for men or just curious about what cock rings are and how they can enhance your pleasure, you've come to the right place. In this beginner's guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about choosing the perfect cock ring for you.

What Are Cock Rings and How Do They Work?

Cock rings, also known as penis rings, are circular devices designed to be worn around the base of the penis or both the penis and testicles. They work by constricting the blood flow out of the penis, which can help to maintain a firmer and longer-lasting erection. Essentially, they trap blood in the penis, making it appear larger and feel more sensitive, resulting in heightened pleasure for both you and your partner.

Common Cock Ring Materials

Cock rings come in various types and materials to suit different preferences and needs. Some of the most common types include:

1. Silicone Rings: These are soft and flexible, making them easy to put on and comfortable to wear. Silicone rings are a popular choice for beginners due to their gentle constriction and hypoallergenic properties.

2. Adjustable Cock Rings: These rings typically feature snaps or Velcro closures, allowing you to customize the fit according to your size and comfort level. They're versatile and great for experimenting with different levels of tightness. The most common material for adjustable rings with snaps are leather or faux leather. Additionally 

3. Metal Cock Rings: Made from materials like stainless steel or aluminum, metal cock rings offer a more rigid and intense sensation. They're prized for their durability and weightiness, providing a satisfying heft and enhancing erection strength. These are not typically what we would recommend for beginners as you have to know the exact size to avoid getting the ring stuck...yeah it's as bad as it sounds.

4. Soft Rubber or Jelly Rings: These rings are often cheaper and more flexible than pure silicone ones, and are a mixture of rubber and nitrile. These rings are super stretchy (as they're often described) but they may not be as body-safe or long-lasting. Proceed with caution and ensure you're purchasing from a reputable manufacturer to avoid any potential risks.

Tips for Choosing the Right Cock Ring

Now that you have an idea of the most common types of cock ring materials available, here are some tips to help you select the perfect one for your needs:

1. Pick Your Style. Before purchasing a cock ring, decide if you want a penis ring that is used on the penis alone (a penis ring). Or if you'd like to go with a full-on cock ring, which goes around botht he penis and the testicles.

2. Measure The Circumference of Your Junk: It's crucial to get one of two measurements depending on the type of ring you're looking to purchase. If you want to purchase a ring that goes only around your penis (a penis ring), then you'll need to measure the girth of your penis at the base where your shaft meets your testicles. You'll want to get this measurement while erect so that you ensure the ring is snug enough to constrict the blood flow from your penis in order to help you maintain your erection when it's on. 
   
   The other measurement you'll need to take is the circumference of your both your penis and testicles when your penis is erect. To visualize what I'm talking about, take your thumb and index finger and wrap around the base of your testicles and penis so your index finger is touching your taint. Play around with loosening or tightening your grip to see what feels good. Using the sensations you get from this exercise is a good litmus test for beginners to decide what size to start with as you purchase a new cock ring. You want to ensure that whatever size you choose will give you a snug yet comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.
   
   To measure, use a soft measuring tape (if you have one). If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a string or even your index finger and thumb around your junk and use a tape measure to measure those substitutes as a proxy. Take note of the circumference and check out our "Size" filter. 

3. Start with a Beginner-Friendly Material: If you're new to cock rings, it's always best to start with a stretchy silicone. These options are more forgiving in terms of fit and pressure, allowing you to experiment safely until you find what works best for you.

4. Pay Attention to Manufacturer Details: Opt for body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone or stainless steel to minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. Avoid cheaply made rubber or jelly rings that may contain harmful chemicals or cause discomfort during use.

5. Consider Your Goals: Think about what you want to achieve with a cock ring. Are you looking to enhance your erection, prolong ejaculation, or simply add some extra sensation to your sexual encounters? Your goals will influence the type and size of cock ring that's right for you.
