Striped Leather Velcro Cock-Ring

Chrome Donut Cock-Ring

Why wear one?

Cock-rings are intended to gently restrict blood flow and help you keep your hard-on hard. Some men also wear them to display their packages more prominently. And some men just wear them as a fashion statement. We also sell several that are designed to be clit-stimulators too, but here we're just discussing basic cock-rings.

Do they work? How well? Is it a peronal thing?

Yes, they do work, and they can work very well, but it has to be said that it is a personal thing. Some men find them very effective and swear by them, some men try them a couple of times and find them ineffective or unpleasant.

Are they at all effective at prolonging/preventing ejaculation?

This varies a great deal from man to man, but cock rings don't usually change orgasmic response much. Most men find that they come just as fast with a cock ring as without one.

Do I need to remove it to ejaculate?

Generally no. But you might find you're more comfortable if you do.

Do I risk hurting myself with them?

Any time you do anything to restrict blood flow, it pays to be cautious, although cock rings are not normally very risky. The most important thing is to not wear it any tighter than you are used to and are very comfortable with. If you are new to cock rings, always get one that snaps or buckles rather than one that is solid, so you can get it off quickly. Never wear it for a very extended period, say more than 30 minutes, unless you have a lot of experience with cock rings and can work up to it.

How exactly do I put this on?

Cock-rings normally fit around your cock and balls, positioned behind your balls. Some men prefer to wear a ring just around the base of their cock, in front of their balls, although that is less effective. The most important thing to remember when applying a solid cock-ring is that you need to slip through one testicle at a time, and then push your cock into the ring. If a single testicle is too difficult to fit into the ring it's just not going to work for you. Adjustable rings can be applied at any time that works best for you. One other thing that can help as far as comfort goes is to trim your pubic hair down as much as you feel comfortable doing, since cock rings can get caught in it.

What style should I choose?

Cock-rings are available in several materials and styles. For beginners we suggest that you try either a solid jelly ring (we sell a set of three different sizes which are very stretchy) or an adjustable ring, which may close with a buckle, snaps, or Velcro. Solid rubber and metal cock-rings are really only for experienced cock-ring users because they don't stretch or adjust. So start slow, learn your way around what works best for you, and then, if you're really loving cock-rings and feel confident that you know your size and comfort limits, then you can consider purchasing a serious solid cock-ring.

How do I know my size?

You want something that will be snug when erect, but not so tight that you cut off circulation and cause tissue damage. To measure yourself for a ring, get hard, and then take a string and slip it behind your balls and tug it up snug around the top of your cock close to your body. Mark the string on both sides where it comes together at a snugness that's comfortable for you. Remove the string and measure between the marks. This process is even simpler if you have a cloth tape-measure like tailors use. Whatever you use to measure, that will give you your package circumference. Our adjustable rings list their circumfrence range. Our solid rings are measured at the diameter, which means you'll need to divide by pi (3.14). A 2" diameter cock-ring will fit snugly on a man with a 6.28" circumference package.

Keep in mind that solid cock-rings are usually applied before you reach full tumescence (prefer that in slang? okay, we mean before you've got a full-on boner); it's far more difficult to stuff your package through the solid ring once you're already erect. See our comments about how to put it on for more advice on knowing your size limits for application purposes.
