When looking at the best adult toys for men, cock rings (or penis rings) are a constant mainstay. But with so many on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. This guide aims to tell you a few of the many benefits of cock rings for your sex life. Including advice and recommendations, we’re here to give you all the information you need.
How cock rings work
Cock rings are worn around the base of the penis (and sometimes the testicles too). They work by restricting blood flow to keep your erection going for longer and delay orgasm. Not only do they come in many shapes and sizes, but they also have a variety of uses and benefits.
Benefits of using cock rings for you
- Bigger, harder, longer-lasting erections
Cock rings can help you to achieve a slightly larger boner that can last longer than your average. Whether you want it for you, or your partner, for the look or for the feel, cock rings could be just the thing for you.
If you sometimes finish a bit earlier than you’d like, cock rings can also help you delay ejaculation, keeping you going a bit longer.
However, note that you will only experience a slight increase in size and endurance. You should not wear cock rings for extended periods of time.
- Treating Erectile Dysfunction
If Erectile Dysfunction is something that you consider during sex, a cock ring can help you maintain a boner. ED is nothing to be ashamed of, and happens more often than you’d think. Whether it’s a one-off or reoccurring situation, cock rings can help slow down the blood flow going away from the penis, keeping you harder for longer.
Note that cock rings work best for partial or full erections. A penis pump can be a useful tool to help you get fully erect before putting the ring on.
Please consult a medical professional if you are at all concerned about ED.
- Increased Sensations
Cock rings are a great way to experienced more heightened sensations during sex. Since they restrict blood flow, the penis can also become more sensitive, prolonging any and all pleasurable feelings.
These increased sensations are also not just contained to sex, but also masturbation, oral, and other kinds of foreplay too. Experiment with using a cock ring in different situations and experience more pleasure than before. And because cock rings can delay ejaculation, orgasms can often feel much more intense.
Cock rings should intensify pleasurable sensations, but they should not cause pain. If you experience any pain, remove the cock ring immediately.
Benefits of using cock rings for your partner
- Clitoral play
Vibrating and rabbit cock rings are amazing choices if you want one toy that provides pleasure for both partners. While you experience the heightened sensations of restricted blood flow and rumbly vibrations on top of that, a rabbit cock ring can also let your partner experience the vibrations too – particularly targeting the clitoris.
This can be particularly helpful if your partner prefers external stimulation over penetrative sex. Vibrating cock rings can also help if you or your partner struggle to orgasm from PIV (penis-in-vagina) sex.
- Anal play
Similarly to clitoral play, vibrating cock rings can be used to add another layer of pleasure to anal sex. Whether you’re just partaking in anal sex, or if you’re branching out to double penetration, a vibrating cock ring could be the perfect thing to take your pleasure to a whole other level.
During double penetration, simply slip the ring onto one penis, or the strap-on, or even on an anal plug and let the little vibrating buddy do the rest.
- Foreplay
A vibrating cock ring is a great addition to not only penetrative sex, but also to foreplay! Try wearing the ring during a hand job or blow job and experience the buzzy pleasure in even more ways for even longer.
Another fun way to use a cock ring is to wrap a vibrating ring around your fingers to turn them into rumbly little bullets. Gently run your vibrating fingers along your partner’s skin to discover all their erogenous zones. This is an incredible way to build anticipation and tease your partner before the main event.
Different kinds of cock rings
- Stretchy cock rings
Cheaper cock rings are generally made from super stretchy material – normally silicone – to ensure a snug but comfortable fit regardless of anyone’s size. Brands tend to use silicone to make stretchy cock rings, and often put them in packs of multiple sizes. This means you can stack them for even more blood restriction and also allows for you to see which size best suits you.
One of our favourite sets of stretchy cock rings is the Nobü Täro.
- Vibrating cock rings
These rings are fairly similar to stretchy rings to ensure a variety of snug fits, but they have a vibrator attached, sometimes as an ingrained part of the toy, sometimes with a bullet that slips in at the top. Vibrating cock rings are designed to stimulate both the wearer and their partner.
An example of an amazing vibrating cock ring is the We-Vibe Verge.
- Adjustable cock rings
While adjustable cock rings are less stretchy than other cock rings made of silicone, these rings come with fasteners or Velcro to make a more customizable fit.
If an adjustable ring is your thing, we recommend the Strict Leather Cock Gear Cock Ring.
- Solid cock rings
These kinds of cock rings are made of metal and – as the name suggests – have no stretchy qualities at all. We recommend that only experienced users try these solid rings. Even for experienced cock ring aficionados, we do suggest that you exercise caution, as these can get stuck if fitted poorly.
- Dual cock rings
These types of cock rings come in all shapes and sizes. Some dual cock rings include a ball stretcher, some are connected to anal plugs. Whether these rings are right or wrong for you is purely down to personal preference and if you enjoy the additional sensations that these rings provide.
This cock ring by HunkyJunk comes with an attached butt plug and taint stimulator.
However, this 360 cock ring by Oxballs wraps around the base of the penis, and the scrotum too.
How to use a cock ring
Depending on what kind of cock ring you’re using, how you put the ring on your penis varies slightly. When using a stretchy silicone cock ring, simply gently move the ring down the length of the penis – using some lube might help to put the ring on more easily. If you want to use an adjustable ring, completely open the ring, put it in place at the base of the penis, the tighten the ring with the Velcro, straps, etc. until the it fits snugly but comfortably.
If the cock ring also fits around the testicles, place the testicles in the ring first, one at a time. Then gently push the penis through the loop, and finally secure the ring in place.
When using a condom, be sure to put the condom on first before the cock ring. Please note that condoms don’t make cock rings any less effective, just be sure that the condom and cock ring aren’t sticking together as this can cause the condom to tear.
We always recommend using a water-based lube when applying cock rings to ensure a more comfortable fit.
What to look for when buying a cock ring
- Material
As mentioned previously, stretchy cock rings tend to be made of materials like silicone or TPE. Silicone is often hypoallergenic and medical-grade, making it a safer and easy to clean option. Silicone and TPE are also super soft and silky. However, it is important to note that you should only use water-based lube with any silicone toy. If you use silicone-based lube with a toy made of silicone, it can cause the toy to wear away.
Adjustable cock rings can also be made of leather or neoprene, which are also somewhat stretchy, so as to allow for a comfortable fit. You can use cock rings made of these materials with either silicone or water-based lube.
You can easily cut off or remove cock rings made of the above materials in case of emergency. However, metal cock rings are more difficult to remove.
- Size
Flexible and stretchy cock rings often fit a majority of sizes, but one size doesn’t always fit all. Obviously, customers can struggle to know if a cock ring will fit without trying it on, but you can’t exactly do that when shopping online, and the general public generally frowns upon someone whipping out their penis, even if they’re trying on a cock ring. Beforehand, see how many fingers are roughly equal to the width of your shaft, and compare that to the cock ring that interests you.
- Your needs
If you and your partner are looking for a cock ring to share, a vibrating cock ring might suit you better.
If you’re mainly focusing on trying to prolong your endurance in the bedroom, a standard cock ring will work just fine.
Dual cock rings are super fun if you want to add another layer of pleasure during sex.
