Top Silicone Rings

Silicone’s features, in general, has a nice feel to and you can easily spread these rings over and remove at any time.

In the worst case, you can easily cut the ring to free your member which is why most men start with these.

Stretch has its downsides though. 

It’s impossible to get the right amount of pressure due to the material’s stretchy features.

Either it’s too tight or the pressure it’s not tight enough.

But here we are talking about 20% (perfection)… Stretchy rings will still give 80% of the effect.

If you want perfection. You’ll want to use a penis ring that is silicone-based with a LITTLE stretch, adjustable or fixed penis rings.

Oxballs Cock Sling

How much it stretches: 1″ – 2″ | Product sizes: One size | Material: TPE | Type: Stretchy | Waterproof: Submersible

This cock sling almost didn’t make to the chart. Mainly because it’s made from TPE material, not silicone. Although TPE expands nicely making it super easy to put on.

But so many guys were praising it as the only cock ring they enjoyed, that it would be a crime to not include it.

TPE aside, Oxballs make a great addition to your cock ring set. They grip the around the base of the penis just the right way to achieve perfect tightness.

We consider this the best cock sling. It also gets bonus points for looking incredible. Your wifey just might love how the testicles hit her when fucking in doggy.

Great Vibrating Rings

A vibrating ring is the holy grail of sex toys for couples.

Finding out the best cock ring would not complete without this.

Why? Because their sex lives will benefit from the sudden variety that penis rings come in.

Harder penis. Added vibration modes. He will last longer, she will orgasm faster.

But for the experience to be pleasant you need to invest in a quality vibrator. 

Tenga Smart Vibe is the cheapest quality option. While Lelo Tor 2 is the #1 luxury option that most couples have had a good experience with.

If she likes intense vibrations, you might want to have a separate vibrator. There are vibrators like WeVibe Unite that she can insert and still have space for the partner’s penis.

During the sex, the vibrations will be only felt when thrusting in deep or if grinding. Also when straddling back and forth.

In other times sensations will be light and hardly noticeable. 

This is not a bad thing, but it might not be enough to make her orgasm.

It depends on your goals.

Tenga Smart Vibe

Best vibrating

How much it stretches: 1.25″ – 2″ | Product sizes: One size | Material: Silicone | Type: Stretchy | Waterproof: Submersible | Battery Type: Rechargeable

Tenga has done a lot of good with this device.

The material is pleasant to touch, the ring is flat to avoid rolling, yet stretchy.

Where Tenga shines is that the vibrator stands tall. This ensures that during sex it hits the clitoris and whole labia area. It’s helpful as there is less need to try to find just the right angle for her clitoris. The comfort this brings is a great bonus.

The vibrator is usb rechargeable, comes with 5 speeds and 2 vibration patterns with a nice rumbly feel to it. Oh, and it comes with a free case.

Now to the downsides.

When cleaning you’ll become just too aware of their exposed charging port. 

These penis rings aren’t waterproof. Yes, submersible but you cannot go to town and not worry about liquids at all.

The other con is its awkward positioning of the power/mode button. During the action, you may have trouble finding it as you cannot really see it.

Other than that, it’s a great device. Certainly great investment for a price.

Lelo Tor 2

Upgrade pick

How much it stretches: 1.25″ – 2.5″ | Product sizes: One size | Material: Silicone | Type: Stretchy | Waterproof: Yes | Battery Type: Rechargeable

Okay, what if you want the best cock rings the world has to offer?

The first version of Lelo Tor had an  issue with stretchability and for many, it was too tight. 

But Lelo Tor 2 made the material a lot stretchier and nailed it the second time.

The vibrations are extremely powerful (there are 6 types of vibrating ring functions). It’s fun to find the right one for the situation.

It will send shivers down the shaft for the man. And she will love to straddle on top of you as the buzzy vibrations drive her wild.

Additionally, Tor 2 is ergonomically designed. The ring itself is flat to avoid rolling. The wide power mode button allows for easy mode switching.

It comes with a 1-year warranty, is 100% waterproof and can be used up to 4 hours. Oh, and it comes in 3 colors.

The only downside is the price.

The best cock rings aren’t cheap. Say goodbye to disappointing cheap buzzy vibrations. This cock ring will allow you experience a great sex toy to boost your sex life.

Metal Rings For Advanced Users

Experienced users of penis rings will love the rigidity of unforgiving stainless steel. As well as the thrill and weight of it.

It’s a tight squeeze but average size man can fit his package through a metallic ring 2″ diameter.

Some men even wear these rings during the day. They enjoy the sensations and the package squeezing out in jeans.

It’s possible because when the penis is flaccid there is space for the ring to dangle, but not enough to fall off.

You must get the measurements right though:

• too big and the outcome won’t be nearly as effective
• too small and you might end up needing to go for an embarrassing trip to an emergency room. Which is why it’s better to start with flexible rings till you learn your perfect fit.

Dominix Stainless Steel

Best for advanced users

How much it stretches: Doesn’t stretch | Product sizes: 1.75″, 1.89″ | Material: Stainless steel | Type: Fixed | Waterproof: Yes

This 177g stainless steel has a smooth and flawless finish. It comes in two dimensions :  1.75″ and second one 1.89″ (48mm).

Average size man will love 1.89″ version that is just the right size to be safe. It weighs enough to be pleasurable, but not create discomfort.

It’s a great deal for $30. It doesn’t get simpler than this.

Ze Don Magnetic

Also great

How much it stretches: Doesn’t stretch | Product sizes: 36, 39, 45, 50mm | Material: Stainless steel | Type: Fixed | Waterproof: Yes

You want the rigidity, but don’t want the risk of not being able to take it off at any moment? 

Ze Don ring solves this problem by offering a removable magnetized section. This makes it easy to put it on at any moment and take off.

It weighs 264g (45mm version) and you can easily clean it with alcohol.

Some guys prefer to stack these things too. Get one bigger ring to go around the base of the penis and balls, then use the second smaller one to pull them down.

It looks and feels incredible.

What Does It Do?

Here’s Wikipedia’s¹ definition:

“Cock rings are used to trap the blood inside the cock in order to maintain an erection. Or encourage a stronger erection. In order to do this, it must be placed around the base of the penis.”

Basically penis rings help to slow the guy down (longer performance, fewer sensations). Plus speed the lady up (stronger & longer erection) so you can climax together.

With cock rings come a variety of benefits.

To explain it better, it helps to understand how an erection occurs². 

When a man becomes aroused, the blood vessels of the penis relax and open up. This causes the blood to rush in to fill those vessels.

Blood then gets trapped under high pressure, creating a hopefully rock-hard erection. But sometimes that erection is disappointing for whatever reason.

Not to worry: cock rings are here for the rescue!

With a penis ring on, blood can still rush into the penis, but blood flow is restricted by the ring. Helping you sustain the hugest, most rock-hard, veiny erection possible.

Note however that it is not expected to wear one for more than 20 minutes.

Any more than that isn’t healthy blood flow for your penis.

Thanks to a penis ring it won’t matter if you had some alcohol 30 minutes before action (that’s the safe wearing limit).

This is why they are a crowd favorite when it comes to sex toys.

---

How Does It Feel?

These sex toys make you feel sexy and powerful reminding that you are a sexual being worthy of pleasure.

Additionally, there is less stress about losing an erection when using condoms. Or even when switching positions.

Sex with a penis ring on the base of the penis feels different. 

For a man, you’ll either lose or gain extra senses. 

It all changes. You are trapping the blood after all. 

You’ll also notice a slight change of color — penis and the balls (if the ring is on the shaft) will become slightly purple.

Plus, you’ll see the penis getting super-hard. All those gorgeous veins will be popping out like crazy giving you a thicker penis size.

This is all normal. 

The only precaution is in getting cock rings that might be too tight for you.

You’ll know if it won’t fit right at the base of the penis.

A little “feels weird” is normal. A lot of discomfort is a red flag.

If you experience things like coldness or numbness, remove the ring immediately.

Also, never ever fall asleep with it, as it’s extremely dangerous and may cause priapism³.

It really helps to put a timer of 30 minutes so you don’t go over the safe wearing limit (up to one hour).

FAQ

What You Should Know About Penis Rings?

Cock rings have two main categories — there are flexible and rigid cock rings.

Flexible rings are more convenient, but the steel is more pleasurable.

Okay, there might be a third category of these sex toys, connecting both worlds . Fool-proof rigid cock rings (yeah.. I just came up with that). 

• Flexible cock ring — these sex toys are stretchy in nature and are the safest of the bunch. They can also be easily removed at any time. You’ve probably seen cheap jelly rings in pharmacy with vibrators attached. This is where people get their first exposure to cock rings. They break quick and stretch/contract too much to be of high value. A better choice is a silicone ring that stretches less. There are tons of luxury vibrating rings available. Some even have vibration patterns like a bullet vibe. The downside is that their elastic nature prevents them from applying enough pressure. Or it may constrict too much of the blood flow.
• Rigid cock rings — the most popular for an experienced user is a metal cock ring. When you get the right fit, you’ll get just the right pressure. This gives gorgeous hard-ons and some men even wear them during the day. The downside is that the penis must be completely flaccid when you put the metal ring on. That doesn’t allow for spontaneity. Then if you go for the ring that’s too small, you might not be able to remove it. There is less room for error with a stainless steel cock ring. Which is why it’s recommended for beginners to always start with simple silicone sex toys.
• Fool-proof rigid cock rings —  these penis rings are the most practical of the bunch. If you get the size right, you can get benefits from rigidity and spontaneity. There are cock straps made from rigid silicone or leather. You can fasten it usually with snaps or buckles. My favorite though is a magnetic stainless steel cock ring, that snaps on with a magnet. I guess the only downside here is that for rigid penis rings to work. You need to get just the RIGHT fit… which can be a challenge to find. Get the wrong penis rings and they can get expensive fast.

For beginners you can get a cock ring set with several sizes. Some sets include a bullet vibrator as well. Or get an adjustable cock ring.

Adjustable penis rings allow you to tighten it to just the right amount. The downside is that it still has those straps dangling around.

What About Vibrating Rings?

Stronger erections + more pleasure for her? 

What could possibly go wrong?

The best vibrating cock ring has plenty of attractive features. But also know that instead of $10 for a simple silicone ring, or $40 for a rigid metal penis ring, you’ll be set back about $100.

A cheaper vibrating ring is buzzy, and it is very unlikely that she will enjoy it. You want deep rumbly vibrations that lead to orgasms & clitoris stimulations.

Keep in mind though that for her to be able to enjoy vibrations, you’ll need to grind…straddle. 

There are also rings that have a little piece that sticks up to provide clit stimulation. The challenge is to find the one that will work with your anatomy.

She’ll appreciate you thinking about her clitoris.

Vibration settings offer a cool twist to the sexual play, and it’s up to your preferences.

Oh, and you need to watch out if they are waterproof or not. Cleaning may be challenging if they’re not.

But you can always go for a separate vibrator for her that’s insertable, and still has space for the partner’s penis. 

That’s probably more effective.

If there would be cock ring experience levels, they would look like this:

• Beginner: simple silicone or adjustable ring
• Intermediate: Vibrating ring or fool-proof rigid cock rings
• Advanced: Rigid stainless steel penis rings for pro users. Enjoy the thrill to squeeze their package into a tight ring and crown their jewels.

How To Use & Wear Safely

The #1 rule to always remember is to never wear a cock ring more than 30mins (up to an hour). 

You should never fall asleep with the cock ring. Involuntary erection during the night might damage your penis.

During sex, either put a timer or make sure I notice the time on the clock and make a mental note.

For the first-timers, you’ll surely choose a flexible or adjustable cock ring. This means you can simply spread it over the erect penis and testicles and you’re good.

It helps to trim down there to avoid hair pulling. If using silicone apply baby powder to cock ring before to ensure easier putting on.

This is more important if using rigid silicone penis rings with a little stretch. Like the Tantus advanced C-rings.

If needed apply little lube to ensure easier sliding on. If you have a silicone based product, avoid using silicone lubes.

For biggest effect apply the ring behind the testicles and penis.

Sensations will be a little weird at first. You might see behind the testicles to turn more purple and get veiny.

A little discomfort is fine, but if there’s a lot of it, you got yourself a cock ring that’s way too small. Remove it immediately and get a bigger one.

How To Put On A Rigid Stainless Steel Penis Ring

Game is different from steel cock ring. Cock straps and magnetic penis rings like Ze Don are exceptions.

We’re talking about one piece of metal rings. 

These things best are applied in the shower using soap to achieve nice slippage.

You might be thinking about using lube or oil. These are not ideal as after putting the ring on you end up with slippery junk.

Also it’s not advisable to use silicone lubes with silicone products.

If you cannot use the shower, apply a tiny amount of almond or coconut oil to your penis and testicles. After putting it on try to remove the excess oil as you don’t want ring slipping off accidentally.

Know that you can remove the metallic rings only after it’s again flaccid.

Don’t try pulling it off right after the action. Take some time to relax, take a shower and give it time. This won’t be an issue if you chose the right cock ring measurement.

Just remember the same rule that you shouldn’t wear the metal cock ring with ERECT PENIS for more than 30 mins.

How To Measure Your Penis For A Cock Ring

To fit properly, a cock ring should fit snugly enough to restrict the blood from leaving. But loose enough to be able to get it off without much effort.

One way to figure out the right measurement is to simply buy several rings. Or a kit (here’s 3 piece kit for $13, not the best but good enough).

But it will get expensive fast if you buy quality metallic penis rings.

So another way is to grab a measuring tape when you are rock hard. Then tighten it up behind the testicles and penis till you got the right amount of pressure.

Write that number down and divide it by 3.14 (pi).

Here’s the sizing chart:

Note that with stretchy silicone penis rings these measurements won’t really work.

t’s because of the stretchy nature. Even if you measure the perfect girth. Their silicone construction can lengthen. Most often a little bit too much for the perfect sizing.

This is a tough call. There’s only one way to get the perfect tightness with stretchy penis rings. That is to try as many variations as possible.

But again, maybe you don’t need that perfect tightness and good enough is good enough.
