A cock ring is worn at the base of the penis, or around the penis and testicles, to help maintain an erection and to add pressure and sensation. Choosing the right type and size makes the difference between a toy you enjoy and one that sits in a drawer.
Main types of cock ring
- Stretchy silicone rings are soft, forgiving and the best choice for beginners.
- Adjustable or snap rings open and close, which makes them easy to fit and remove.
- Metal rings do not stretch, so sizing matters more. They feel heavier and are easy to keep clean.
- Vibrating rings add stimulation for you and your partner.
Finding the right size
A ring should feel snug but never painful. If you are unsure, start with a larger or stretchy ring and move down a size only if it does not hold well. Check each product page for the internal diameter, and never force a ring on.
Safe use
- Apply a water-based lubricant before putting a ring on.
- Do not wear a ring for long periods. Remove it if you feel pain, numbness, coldness or a change in skin colour.
- Never wear one while sleeping.
- Speak to a doctor first if you have a circulation condition, take blood thinners or have any penile condition.
Cleaning and care
Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner after each use, and let the ring dry fully before storing it.
