Cock rings - also known as C-rings or penis rings - are one of the most popular sex toys for penis owners. They are small, discreet, affordable, easy to use, and make any sex game more exciting.

Cock rings, like many other sex toys, are misunderstood toys and have many stigmas attached.

The most common misconception about C-rings is that they are unsafe toys - even dangerous for wearers - and reserved only for people with erectile dysfunction.

Using cock rings

 

One way to diminish the stigma around sex toys is to educate ourselves and break the misconceptions with knowledge.

Let's expose the damaging myths about C-rings: they are a safe sex toy if used correctly, and are they reserved for anyone who wants to experiment and enjoy their sex life. 

What is a cock ring?

A penis ring is a band worn around the penis, dildo, or sometimes around the penis and testicles. It makes wearer erections more intense, harder, and longer-lasting. 

What does a cock ring do?

C-ring restricts blood flow from the penis by tightly gripping onto the wearer shaft to maintain their erection. These simple toys give them firmer and bigger hard-ons and help them last longer during intercourse. People with penises and also their partners may find sex with cock rings more pleasant and stimulating. 

The visible effect of having a bigger penis will make the whole sex more erotic for every participant and boost wearer confidence and sexual performance.

Plus, you can buy vibrating cock rings designed for clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex. The perfect model for couples who want to enjoy them together!

Benefits of using cock rings: 

  • Greater, stronger, and longer-lasting erections.
  • More intense and delayed orgasms.
  • Visually stunning and stimulating for partners who can enjoy a bigger erection with their eyes which can lead to extreme arousal.
  • New sensations and intense stimulation for both receiver and giver.
  • It maintains wearers erection and helps them last and enjoy longer.
  • Handy toy for more enjoyable oral sex, hand jobs, solo masturbation, intercourse, and other kinky sessions.

How to put on a cock ring? 

Advanced users of penis rings can play with several materials such as metal or steel, and beginners should use simple and silicone models. First, get used to wearing something around your penis, and then level up to the harder materials.

Silicone penis rings are soft, flexible, easy to remove, and clean, making them perfect for newbies. They are available in different sizes, so choose the right size for you - it should feel tight but not uncomfortable or painful! Always use it with lubricant to slide it on easier and to prevent discomfort. 

When you are ready, spread your favorite lube around the inner part of the ring and your penis, and then pop it on! But don't put it on the erect penis, but only when it is flaccid or semi-erect.

Putting a C-ring around an erect penis can be painful and uncomfortable, even with lube! So, put it on when you are not fully turned on and stimulate (or allow your partner) your cock until it is erect.

How tight should a cock ring be?

The cock ring should not be too tight or too loose but suitable for your penis. They are available in diverse sizes, and your toy should be only slightly smaller than your penis diameter. 

To determinate your size, take a measuring tape and measure your erected penis around the base. Divide the number by pi (3.14), or help yourself with online calculators. The calculated number is the size of cock ring you should buy!

Penis rings are not expensive, so you can buy different dimensions and discover your ideal size if you can’t calculate it correctly. Or choose adjustable C-rings with fasteners so you can adjust the size as needed.

If you feel discomfort, pain, numbness, or see that skin is changing color while wearing your C-ring, this is a sign that the ring is too tight. You should remove it immediately to avoid complications! 

The recommended time to wear the ring is 20-30 minutes, and the maximum time limit is 30 minutes! Use your toy responsibly and never exceed the safety limit.

Are cock rings safe?

The stigma behind cock rings is based on the mistaken belief that these toys are unsafe, even dangerous to penis owners!

The most common myths about C-rings that you may have heard are that they will make your penis fall off, damage your skin, or get stuck on your cock.

It is almost impossible to experience that if you use them properly!

Like other sex toys, cock rings are completely safe and fun toys if you use them the way you should and follow the recommendations and safety tips.

The golden rules of playing with penis rings are:

  • Always buy and use the right size.
  • If you feel pain, numbness, and discomfort, remove them immediately.
  • Use them with lubricant.
  • Never leave them on for more than 30 minutes (or less, depending on the ring material and style).

Get a perfect size, follow these tips, and you will only experience only the best of these little tools!

Types of cock rings

Creative ideas for using a cock ring

Cock rings are constantly improving and are now far away from the basic circle design they used to be. 

Different types of rings give us countless choices and ways to enjoy them.

Wear them outside

Use the cock ring when you go to work, during errands, or while walking in the park. Why not? Many penis owners wear a C-ring as a piece of jewelry or accessory. Wearing a ring outside can be a huge turn-on and extra stimulation during daily tasks. 

Make sure you limit your wear time to 20 minutes!

Discover glans rings

These rings go around the head of your penis and are like C-rings, only smaller in size. They can’t maintain your erection, but they can make the penis head bigger and more sensitive. You can wear them together with cock rings for double excitement. 

Play with remote-controlled cock rings

Even penis rings are now available with the remote control, so you can have more fun while playing alone. You can try it out with your partner and give them control over your vibrations and sensations. Use the remote-controlled cock ring outside for extra stimulation if you dare.

Tips for using a cock ring

You know about the safe use of cock rings - never too tight, always place them on a flaccid or semi-hard penis, and never leave them on for more than 30 minutes. 

The following helpful tips can improve your experience of wearing C-rings, even if you are an advanced user:

  • Wash your ring before and after use to prevent bacteria or germs from forming on the toy.
  • Trim or shave your pubic hair, so that cock ring doesn't pull it out during sex or while putting the ring on.
  • Lubricate both, penis and the toy that you prevent any harsh sensation during the action.
  • Never put a condom over the ring, as it may break it. First the ring, then the condom.
  • Be careful about the time limit. You can set the alarm so that you do not forget about the safety limit while enjoying.
  • A cock ring can feel awkward or weird for the first time, just like other sex toys. Hold the lubricant close and slowly get used to the new sensations.
