Cock Rings

What Does a Cock Ring Do?

Cock rings are multi-talented sex toys. Not only can they increase your erection strength and improve your stamina in bed, they also enhance pleasure for you and your partner - making them an ideal couple’s sex toy.

Known by many names, from cock rings, to love rings, to penis rings and stamina rings, these small-yet-mighty toys are synonymous with improving male performance. However, thanks to the use of tiny motors, many penis rings deliver pleasurable vibrations to both the wearer and their partner.

Oh, and you don’t have to have a penis in order to use one either. Ladies can slide it on their fingers to pleasure themselves (or each other), or, why not pop a vibrating dick ring on one of your fave toys to add a little buzz to solo play?

How to Use a Cock Ring

These lovely little rings can be quite tight, but not uncomfortable. They prevent the backflow of blood, keeping the penis harder for longer. This is why they’re often used to help with erectile dysfunction. However, cock rings have a few more tricks up their sleeves.

To use a cock ring, simply coat the inside with a water-based lubricant. Then, when the penis is erect, slip the ring down the length of the shaft until it sits at the base. The ring should feel tight but not painful. If any discomfort occurs, remove your penis ring immediately.

Some cock rings are designed to sit around the balls as well as the penis. These, and scrotum rings, are put on when you are flaccid. The ring is stretched over the balls so the cock ring sits against your pubis.

When the ring is securely in place, you’re good to go. Love rings are perfect for enhancing vaginal, anal and oral sex - basically, anywhere you need a good hard erection, a cock ring is the perfect accessory.

Choosing the Best Penis Ring

Love rings come in a wide range of materials, shapes and sizes. While stretchy silicone rings are probably the most common, metal pleasure rings are a popular choice for bondage play. At the end of the day, choosing your ideal ring depends on personal taste.

For shared pleasure, a vibrating cock ring is the optimal option. Often fitted with a rabbit tickler, or textured nubs, vibrating rings deliver gorgeous pulses to your partner’s clitoris or perineum, creating an intense experience for the both of you.

Cock ring sets are also a popular choice as they come with a range of different sizes. You can also buy adjustable pleasure rings, which allow you or your partner to tighten the ring for a custom fit.

Some of our rings come with anal probes and butt plugs attached, adding an extra dimension of pleasure for the wearer. We even stock a range of double penetration couples’ rings, which are fitted with vibrating dildos. These clever devils allow you to simulate the fantasy threesome experience without the need to go searching on Tinder.

Cock Rings FAQs

While in general, cock rings are perfectly safe, if yours causes any irritation or feels in any way uncomfortable or painful, you should always remove it. As a rule of thumb, it’s best not to leave one on your penis for more than 20-30 minutes, in case it cuts off circulation.

A cock ring may feel tight to begin with, and slightly unusual, but once you are used to the feeling, the sensation of wearing one can be really quite exciting, particularly if you opt for one of our best vibrating penis rings. While silicone models feel slightly softer and more flexible and are great for beginners, if you get off on the feeling of cold hard metal, one of our metal dick rings will likely be a firm favourite, giving playtime a BDSM twist.
