What is a cock ring?
Cock rings are made from rubber, metal, leather, plastic or silicone and can be worn around the base of the penis above the scrotum, or around the penis and scrotum (for a tighter fit some cock rings can be doubled up in a figure of 8 method).
Why should I wear a cock ring?
Cock Rings create pressure in the penis and restrict the blood flow out of it - this helps to maintain a harder, stronger and firmer erection both before and after ejaculation, benefiting both the wearer and their partner. Cock Rings also heighten the sensations felt during orgasm due to the build up of pressure created and the subsequent release of fluids. Cock Rings are also designed for men with erectile issues and a ring can help to gain and support an erection in some instances - eg low blood pressure. Unfortunately they are no cure for low sex drive!
Cock rings are just for blokes who can't get it up -right?
Wrong! Cock Rings are great for all men, with and without erectile concerns. Sure they can help if you’re having difficulty in maintaining an erection but they are also designed as an erection and orgasm enhancer for all men. Remember that a Cock Ring benefits you and your partner!
Don't cock rings hurt?
Generally Cock rings are either stretchy to some degree or are adjustable. If you put them on carefully and slowly you shouldn’t have any problems. Try practising with them first and explore how your body reacts...they can take a while to get used to. Try using a good lube to make things even easier and more fun as this will also lessen the chances of getting your pubes caught up (ouch!) don’t leave the ring on for too long until you’re sure you like it and that everythings comfortable. If you feel uncomfortable at any time take the ring off immediately...nobody wants to end up being all bruised and sore.
When do I put a cock ring on?
Practice makes perfect, so make sure you experiment a little before the big moment! Some men are quite happy to wear a cock ring when they’re flaccid others wait until they’re fully erect. Best results are more likely to be achieved by putting it on once you are fully erect. Whichever your preference, use some lube and don’t wear it for too long until you know what you’re doing (and don’t fall asleep with it on either!).
How long should I wear a cock ring for?
This is something you really have to answer for yourself. If it feels painful, take it off immediately. We recommend you start wearing it a little at a time and build up to what feels most comfortable for you. Some men wear Cock Rings for a few minutes during sex/masturbation, whereas others are happy to wear one hours at a time for a fuller looking groin! It’s not a manhood competition so relax and take your time and don’t overdo things.
What's your best type of cock ring?
A common question - each type has it’s own merits so it’s just a case of try it and see. We’re always happy to help guide your decision making though so feel free to ask. If you are totally new to Cock Rings we would suggest one of the more flexible types (i.e. The Stretchy Silicone Cock Ring). It’s incredibly stretchy, incredibly soft and can be worn in a variety of ways. It can also be removed quickly if you suddenly decide you want to get it off! We stock many different types of Cock Ring (including vibrating ones!) so come and have a look for yourself.
Can I re-use my cock ring?
Absolutely! Most of them are designed to be re-used. If you remember to clean them properly, don’t overstretch them and don’t use an oil based lube with them (and don’t use a silicone based lube with a silicone ring) you should get good use out of your ring.
Does my cock ring benefit my partner too?
Cock rings help to create a harder, stronger erection during and after ejaculation which can be an added bonus for your partner. Certain types of rings can be good for some women as they have extra tickly or bobbly bits on them for clitoral stimulation. There’s also a wide range of vibrating Cock Rings to choose from too. Cock Rings aren’t perfect for everybody but you won’t know until you give it a go. Don’t miss out on the fun!
