Welcome to Inyarose, we are your professional sex toy mentors. Today we're talking about a male sex toy, the penis ring. It's actually a boon for women too, and want to know why? Keep reading, next we'll cover everything about penis rings, including how to make and choose your own.
What is a penis ring?
Regarding the penis ring, you will find on Wikipedia that it is called many different things. Most people call it a cock ring or cockring, while others refer to it as a c-ring or penis ring, which is actually the same thing.
As the name suggests, this is a ring sex toy worn on the penis, or more accurately, at the root of the penis. It works similarly to a tourniquet in that by compressing the root of the penis, it restricts the flow of blood, thereby increasing the hardness and durability of an erection. This reduction in blood flow increases the sensitivity threshold of the penis and prolongs the duration of intercourse. That's why earlier I said it's good for women too, it works very well in the sex life of both partners. Many women in our stores also buy a cock ring for their male partner along with their sex toys, and it's clear that many women are realizing this as well.
Additionally, it is also used by doctors in medicine as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) to improve a patient's erection. One of the causes of erection difficulties lies in the fact that there is not enough blood in the penis to get or maintain an erection, and a cock ring is primarily used to maintain an erection by reducing the flow and loss of blood to the penis, and is generally more effective when used in conjunction with a vacuum pump.
Are cock rings safe?
When it comes to safety nothing is absolutely safe, even a glass dildo can smash your head in if you use it incorrectly. Of course a C-ring is no exception, you have to understand how it works, pressure over time can lead to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the area leading to tissue necrosis, which is irreversible damage. If you experience any of the following symptoms during use please stop wearing it immediately:
- Significant pain sensation in the penis
- Feeling numbness or tingling
- The penis appears abnormally swollen. I know it's easy for some to see this as their original size, which is actually dangerous.
- Bruising and discoloration from the point of compression
Any improper use and wear can cause damage to your penis. So how can you get the right way to use it, see below.
How do I use a cock ring?
First of all you have to choose the right cockring to ensure that you can take it on and off quickly, choosing one with a moderate diameter based on the size of your penis. As with using any other sex toy, lubrication is an important way to ensure comfort, as well as quick donning and doffing. Apply lubricant to the inside of the c-ring and rub some on the penis as well. Slide the c-ring in while the penis is weak or semi-erect. Please note that it is easy to injure yourself by wearing it while your penis is erect. Push it into position at the base of the penis to ensure a comfortable fit.
A few points to note:
- Be sure to push it to the root of the penis for maximum effect.
- Don't strangle your penis too tightly, just make sure there is some compression.
- Do not wear them for long periods of time, preferably not more than 30 minutes.
- If you are new to this please start with the silicone ring to avoid the risk of getting stuck in.
- Clean them before and after you wear them.
How to choose the right cockring?
I know what many people are most concerned about is size. Choosing the right size is very important and is directly related to safety and comfort.
About sizing
Usually you have to determine your penis size before you can determine your penis ring size. Note that this refers to the size in the fully erect state. It may be difficult to measure the diameter of your penis with a straightedge, but you can use a soft tape measure to measure your girth, and then you can get the diameter based on the girth formula. Most people's penises are around 1.8 inches in diameter. Using this as an example, if you want a less tight feeling, then choose a ring with a 1.75-inch inner diameter, if you want a tighter fit choose a ring with a 1.7-inch inner diameter, and so on, depending on your actual size.
About the choice of material
There are many materials used to make penis rings, silicone, rubber, metal, glass, leather, nylon, plastic, ceramic and gemstones. However, they are usually categorized into elastic and non-elastic materials, for example, silicone and rubber are elastic materials, while metal and glass are non-elastic materials. The following four materials are the most widely used, and each of them has its own advantages, so you can choose according to your actual needs:
Silicone: this is the most popular choice, and silicone is pretty much the most desirable material for sex toys. Soft and skin-friendly, hypoallergenic, and it's a non-porous material, which means it's very easy to clean and doesn't harbor bacteria, the only downside is that it's a bit more expensive than other materials.
Rubber: Compared to silicone, rubber is less expensive, but no less flexible and more durable. There are advantages and disadvantages, it is a porous material that can harbor bacteria and some people may be allergic to rubber.
Metal: This is a non-elastic material, it doesn't have the ability to feel as comfortable as silicone and rubber, and can feel a little hard, but it is non-porous, easy to clean, and basically unbreakable, with an extremely long lifespan.
Glass: Again, this is a non-elastic material, non-porous, easy to clean and looks very elegant and beautiful, the disadvantage is that it is fragile.
For beginners I would recommend elastic materials, these are easy to put on and take off and most importantly very secure, they don't get stuck on your penis. If you are an experienced user and want to try new sensations, then non-elastic materials are a good choice.
Discussion on functionality
The most primitive penis ring is like the rubber ring on a condom, very simple and not much else. But with the development of the market, penis rings have become more fancy and functional, but they are still mainly categorized into two genres, vibrating and non-vibrating.
Vibrating Penis Rings add a vibrating motor to the traditional one to provide extra stimulation to the wearer, and some of these products also give women a certain stimulating effect during sex, such as our Rose Clitoral Vibrating Penis Ring, which is designed for couples to stimulate the penis, testicles, and clitoris at the same time.
Regarding the various features, they are very useful for users who are looking for extra stimulation, and are effective in enhancing the sexual experience for both you and your partner. However, the penis ring was originally designed to constrict blood flow and help maintain an erection, so if a user with this need opts for a vibrating penis ring instead, it can be counterproductive reducing durability. If you just want to improve your erection or can't handle the extra vibration, then a non-vibrating penis ring will suffice.
There are also many different features such as remote controlled penis rings and adjustable penis rings to name a few that are popular choices.
Read reviews and choose a reliable brand
I used to look for some reviews about the product online before I shopped, it is very helpful both for you to know the details and quality of the product. Also taking some time to read reviews from other customers who have already made a purchase is also very useful.
The most important thing is that you have to choose reliable brands, which will make your after-sales service easy, and usually these brands are market-tested and have very stable quality. You can buy directly from the direct stores or online malls of these brands. Never avoid in buying Amazon penis rings or some similar cheap products. It is always known that there are many vendors on Amazon who deliver products on behalf of the customers, these vendors have not even seen the actual products, but they sell these products on Amazon at low prices, the quality and safety of these products can be imagined.
Homemade Penis Ring
Unlike other complicated sex toys, you can make your own penis ring entirely using some simple materials. If you love DIY, then why not make a simple and practical penis ring for yourself? We provide some creative ideas below.
