Only got time for a quickie?
You’ll find detailed advice on how cock rings work and which one’s right for you below. If you don’t have time, here’s what you need to know in a hurry:
A cock ring is a small ring that’s (usually) worn around the base of the penis.
It restricts blood flow out of the penis, which may help you maintain an erection for longer.
You'll need to apply a water-based lube to slide it on easily. Always take off a cock ring if it feels uncomfortable or too tight.
There are lots of different sizes and types of penis rings to try: flexible silicone for beginners, leather cock rings with a little give, or rigid metal cock rings when you’re a penis ring pro.
You can get vibrating rings to boost arousal during sex as well as twin rings for testicle play.
When you shop with Lovehoney, your cock ring will be discreetly packaged and swiftly shipped to your door.
What is a cock ring?
A cock ring (aka penis ring) is a small ring-shaped sex toy, usually made from silicone, rubber or metal, worn around the base of the penis. Cock and ball rings (also known as twin or double rings) sit around the testicles as well as the base of the penis, which keeps them in place and adds a light, pleasurable pressure to the testicles. Some penis rings even vibrate to add rumbly waves of pleasure for the wearer and their partner – you'll see more on how they work below!
What does a cock ring do?
Cock rings gently restrict blood flow away from the penis, with a light pressure that some people find increases sensitivity and pleasure. You may find your erection appears harder and lasts longer too, which can be helpful if you occasionally struggle with stamina.
That said, penis rings don't replace treatment for erectile dysfunction. If you regularly struggle to get or maintain an erection, you should speak to your doctor.
These handy little toys are also known as love rings, because they’re excellent for couples and can be worn during sex for shared stimulation. Vibrating cock rings have a textured stimulation head powered by small motor, which sends delicious sensation buzzing to the wearer’s shaft as well as their partner’s clitoris or perineum.
That’s one small ring for one big serving of bedroom confidence.
How to use a cock ring
Our guide on how to use a cock ring is bursting with advice on getting the most from your new sex toy – when you know how it’s easy. Here’s a quick run-down:
- Coat the inside of the penis ring with a water-based lubricant.
- When your penis is soft or semi-erect, slip the ring down the length of the shaft until it sits at the base. Cock rings are designed to restrict blood flow, so yours should be snug, but not uncomfortable – and definitely not painful. If it’s too tight, or you’re in pain, take it off immediately.
- Some cock rings are designed to sit around the balls as well as the penis. Scrotum rings go on when you're flaccid, and the ring is stretched over your balls to sit against your pubis.
- When the ring is securely in place, you’re good to go. If yours vibrates, switch it on and assume your favourite sex position; it pairs well with vaginal, anal and oral sex.
- Remove your cock ring after 20-30 minutes, or immediately if it’s painful at any time. To remove it, gently roll it down the shaft of your penis (or loop it over your testicles then down the shaft, if you’re wearing a twin ring).
Choosing the best cock ring
Using a cock ring for the first time can be a bit fiddly, so you might want to try a stretchy ring first as they’re easier to maneuver into place. If you’re playing with a partner, you might prefer a vibrating ring to maximise pleasure for you both. Looking for more tension and restriction? Try a double ring!
Here’s each type of cock ring in detail, to help you decide:
Silicone and stretchy rings
The best cock rings for beginners are typically silicone and stretchy rings. Not only are they more comfortable to wear than more rigid cock rings, but they’re also more affordable – ideal if you’re a penis ring novice, curious to try out a new sex toy.
On top of that, it’s much easier to find the right fit and remove a stretchy ring in an emergency. Silicone is a great material for a stretchy cock ring because it’s non-porous, which makes it easy to clean between uses. You can also find rubber or latex rings.
Metal rings
If you enjoy your balls or penis being tugged, you might enjoy the downward pull of a metal penis ring. Metal cock rings are weightier, and typically worn behind the scrotum, which intensifies the sensation of light pressure. They can also be gently heated or cooled for temperature play.
That said, metal cock rings are for experienced users only, since they’re more difficult to put on and take off. Look out for stainless steel or titanium rings, which are non-reactive, non-porous, and therefore very hygienic.
Vibrating rings
Whether you’re playing solo or with a partner, vibrating cock rings can really ramp up the pleasure. A small battery-powered or rechargeable motor delivers vibrations, usually to “rabbit ears” or a textured stimulation head.
Where you place the vibrating head will change what part of you (or your partner) gets stimulated by the vibrations, and so will the sex position.
Cock and ball rings
Also known as double cock rings or twin rings, these toys offer double restriction and resistance. A cock and ball ring has two loops; one for the shaft and one for the testicles. It’s ideal if you love the sensation of someone tugging on your balls and may make you more sensitive to good sensations. Longer-lasting orgasms? Quite possibly!
Sets and adjustable rings
With a cock ring set, you get multiple individual rings. You can pick the one that fits you best or wear one on your shaft and the other around the scrotum. Even with a set of different sizes, it’s still a good idea to measure yourself first – find out how in our guide on how to measure for a cock ring.
Adjustable penis rings can be tightened or loosened for a comfortable fit. They often look a bit like a lasso, with a sliding clasp that makes it easy to adjust the fit during play. There’s no need to worry about measuring yourself either, since a lasso design is one-size fits all.
