A cock ring is a master sex toy that improves performance and adds pleasure in different ways. The ring can wrap around the base of the penis or along the shaft and balls, making the erection bigger and harder.

As a result, a cock ring makes you last longer, enabling your partner to reach the BIG O.  Despite the many benefits, some men are still not sure about having a ring around their member. If you happen to be one, always remember that cock rings are adjustable.

Before you try one and get ready to take your sex life to the next level, here is a guide that will take you through the process of safely installing a cock ring.

But first, since sex toy shops stock different types of penis rings, it would be a good idea to look at the different types available.

Types of Cock Rings

Adjustable Rings

These types use Velcro, lasso-style snaps, or D-rings that help in the adjustment when wrapping or removing the toy. They are suitable when worn underneath the scrotum and around the penis.

In a typical shop, you will find the stamina ring adjustable on the edges, cock ring with a ball bag, vibrating ring, and a flexible silicone penis ring set sold in pairs.

The Stretching Type

The primary material for these kinds of rings is silicone. You only need to wrap around the cock or scrotum by stretching it. They are popular because of their ease of use, but they do not always give the tightness you might desire.

Vibrating Rings

These rings feature a motor that produces the vibrations that you and your partner enjoy when using vibrating rings. Men love using this to give their partner a sensual clitoral climax. You wear them on the lower end of the shaft next to the testicles.

Giving her the best stimulation takes some practice by staying deep inside her, moving your hips sideways instead of the usual in and out motion. The vibration works best when the girl is on top or in the missionary position.

Solid Rings

Solid rings are for the more experienced users. You wear them at the base of the shaft and behind the scrotum. Be careful before trying solid cock rings. A smaller ring will cause damage to your penis if it doesn’t accommodate your entire erectile capacity.

They are available in different sizes, i.e. 1.75-inch and the 1.9-inch donut penis rings. They are all made of stainless steel.

How to Install a Cock Ring

When getting ready to use a cock ring, follow the steps below to avoid pulling your pubic hair or pinching your testicles.

Use Lubrication

Use lube on your penis and inside the ring before putting it on to make it comfortable to wear and remove when you’re all finished. Lube also enhances the sensation. Make sure you use the variety of lube that is recommended for the material of the cock ring.

Silicone-based lubricants cannot be used on silicone toys, as they might damage the toy. Instead, use a water-based or oil-based lube. The stainless steel enhances pressure plays, and as such, you can use any lube on them.

Put on the Penis Ring

After lubricating, slide the ring over the penis shaft and move it slowly to the base of the penis. You should make sure it fits in snugly. It should at least constrict the flaccid penis but also leave enough room for an erect cock. The elastic rings should also offer room for elasticity to accommodate growth.

Similarly, you need to push your balls through the rings that wrap around the balls. 

The next step is to bend your penis with its head passing through the ring and slide it through. Another fitting option is to pull the ring over the cock. Pulling depends on the cock ring design.

Should You Insert the Ring While Flaccid or Erect?

How or when you install the ring depends on the type and nature of the ring. Stretchy and flexible materials require that you insert the penis ring when semi-erect. The good news is that the stretchy materials like silicone can leave room to fit your penis.

Hard materials like stainless steel cock rings or glass rings should be used on a flaccid penis. Always make sure you have the right size.

When to Put on a Condom

Advocating for safe sex, the ring always comes first. Then roll the condom over the tip of the penis to the base. Make sure the condom is of the right size so that it does not come off during penetration.

Relax When Taking the Ring Off

Make sure you are no longer erect when taking off the penis ring. You can use the lube once more to avoid tugging any pubic hair.

When it comes to putting on a cock ring, practice combined with the right size makes for an easy experience.

Set Your Time Limit

Set a time limit for every session, which should be within twenty minutes. If you notice discoloration in your man’s penis, make sure he takes it off immediately. If your man can hold up for longer without any form of pain, the better for you.

Quick Tips

• You need to have a clean shave before thinking of installing a penis ring. Trim your pubic hair to avoid pulling or accidental pinching. First-timers should look for a ring that fits without causing injuries to them because there are cock rings designed to fit without causing any harm.
• If in any case you cannot get the ring off when erect, get some ice to help ease the erection, making it smaller, and then remove the ring. To avoid such cases, keep some lube handy.
• Your man should never wear the penis ring while sleeping as it may cause damage to tissues or cause a painful erection that lasts for hours. When you notice scarring around the penis, treatment should follow to avoid erectile dysfunction.

Cock Rings and Safety

Cock rings are safe if you follow the following guidelines:

Use the Rings with Set Time Limits

The most vital thing to do is never forget to set a time limit that makes you comfortable. Leaving it for too long may cause permanent injuries. Therefore, when using a cock ring, ensure that once you notice a feeling of numbness, skin discoloration or tingling pain, remove it immediately.

Does it Fit?

To get the right fitting that does not leave you numb, use an adjustable type or ring made of silicone. These materials allow natural adjustments to fit your size.

Maintain a Clean Shave

Keep the pubic area clean by trimming or shaving before installing a cock ring. It gives more pleasure and excitement. You will not have to worry about the pain of pulling the hair or testicles when using the cock ring.

The various cock rings come in different sizes and shapes and can be confusing to a newcomer in the market. Their price value also matters as they range from a few to hundreds of dollars. If you are looking for one, to fit on you or your partner’s penis, consider the following:

The Kind of Thrill You Want

Cock rings are of two different types. Some wrap around the shaft from the base of the penis. The other type encircles both the penis and the scrotum. Both will offer restrictions to blood flow and give a lasting and hard erection.

Choosing the right cock ring depends on preferences. Bear in mind that some men enjoy the pressure created by the rings. You may have to get the less expensive model of each type as a testing sample.

The Reasons You Need a Penis Ring

Using a cock ring alongside other sex toys such as a penis pump plays a positive role in controlling erectile dysfunction. Identify your reason for why you want one.

What Types of Materials Work for You

Rubber, silicone, metal, plastic, and leather are the common materials used in making cock rings because of their different elasticity levels. Apart from the material pulling out the skin, they offer what different users want: constricting the blood flow when erecting.

The ones made from leather are adjustable because of the straps or Velcro fastening. As a user, you only adjust as per your erection limit. Leather provides aesthetics that some men like.

The metallic and plastic penis rings may be rigid, but some people want that rigidity. When it comes to these two, getting the right size is important. There is no harm in measuring the erect size using a piece of string. Most sex shops have a fitting guide chart to improve customer satisfaction.

The Extras

The cock ring does more than squeezing. Some will vibrate on both ends to give your woman the best clitoral exploration and stimulation. The extra features come in the form of bumps, ridges, spikes and many more.
