WHAT IS A PENIS RING? – INFO FOR BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED USERS

A penis ring , also known as a cock ring, is a popular sex toy used by both men and couples to strengthen an erection, delay orgasm, and increase sexual pleasure. But what exactly does a penis ring do, what types are there, and how do you use them safely? In this comprehensive guide, you will discover everything you need to know about penis rings, from materials to usage tips, from beginner's advice to advanced play tips.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES A PENIS RING DO?

A cock ring is usually worn around the base of the penis, sometimes around the balls. The pressure of the ring keeps the blood in the penis longer, which ensures:

  • Harder erections
  • Longer erections
  • Delay of ejaculation
  • Increased sensitivity

Some models (such as vibrating cock rings) also add extra stimulation for both partners.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PENIS RINGS

SILICONE PENIS RING

Flexible, soft and comfortable. Perfect for beginners. Silicone rings are easy to apply and often cheaper.

METAL PENIS RING

Sturdy, heavy and non-stretch. Suitable for advanced users who like a tight feeling. Always make sure you get the right size!

LEATHER PENIS RING

Cool and adjustable. Often used in combination with BDSM or fashion. Note the finish for comfort.

VIBRATING COCK RINGS

Ideal for couples! These rings contain a small vibrating motor that provides clitoral stimulation during lovemaking.

PENIS RING WITH BALL STRETCHER

A combination of a cock ring and a scrotum stretcher. Often used in fetish or BDSM context.

ADJUSTABLE PENIS RING

These rings can be tightened or loosened by yourself, often via push buttons or sliding mechanisms. Handy and versatile. You will find these in our range of penis rings

HOW TO USE A PENIS RING SAFELY?

  1. Always measure first – Too tight is dangerous, too loose has little effect.
  2. Use lubricant – Especially with non-stretchy materials.
  3. Time limit: 20-30 minutes – Don't wear it for too long.
  4. Pay attention to your body – Numbness, tingling or discoloration? Remove immediately.

WHAT SIZE PENIS RING SHOULD I GET?

HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE CORRECT SIZE PENIS RING?

To choose the right size cock ring, measure the circumference of your penis in a flaccid state at the base, just above the balls. Use a measuring tape or string + ruler for this.

Formula for diameter:

Diameter (cm) = Omtrek (cm) 3 , 14 \text{Diameter (cm)} = \frac{\text{Omtrek (cm)}} {3.14}

EXAMPLE:

  • Circumference = 12.5 cm

  • Diameter = 12.5 ÷ 3.14 ≈ 4.0 cm

  • Advice: choose a large cock ring
