Buyer’s Guide: How To Shop For Cock Rings

Cock rings are the only sex toys that can naturally boost the power of your erection and enhance the sensation that you (and your partner) feel during sex.

But only if you buy the right one.

Just like rings for your fingers, your cock ring needs to be the right size, and you need to choose the right material.

It’s also important to choose the right penis ring for the type of sex you’re having, your partner, and your kinks.

There are loads of different cock rings out there, and we’re going to help you find the right one in this buyer’s guide.

We’ll help you answer some basic questions about your needs. And, we’ll tell you which cock ring is right for you.

We’ll even recommend some of our favorite brands and let you know where to find them.

How To Shop for Cock Rings

If you buy the wrong cock ring, you’ll be putting your pleasure and your health at risk. Luckily, it’s easy to find the right one. Just use the table below to find the right ring. Or, look below the table to learn how to pick the perfect cock ring.

Follow the following 3 steps below to pick out the perfect cock ring in no time.

Step 1. Size Matters

Choosing the right size is the most important part of shopping for a cock ring. If your ring is too small, it might cut off your circulation and cause injury or discomfort.

If it’s too big, it won’t be able to do its job—making your D extra hard and swol.

To choose the right size, you need to know your measurements.

Here’s how to find them:

1. You’ll need a piece of string, a ruler, and your penis.
2. Wrap the string around the base of your shaft, below the scrotum (around your penis and balls). The string should be above your shaft and below your balls. Take note of where the loop starts and ends.
3. Remove the string and lay it flat against the ruler. This will tell you the circumference of your penis and scrotum.

Now that you know your circumference, you can find a cock ring in your size. Just check the table below.

Keep in mind, not all cock rings are made to wrap around the penis and scrotum.

Some, such as vibrating cock rings, only slide down to the base of the shaft before the balls (though you can wear any cock ring like this if you want to).

If you’re shopping for a cock ring like this, add 10-15 mm of the ring’s diameter to get the right size from the chart above.

The easiest way to ensure your cock ring fits just right is to buy an adjustable cock ring. These rings guarantee the perfect fit every time, above or below the scrotum.

Step 2. Pick your Pleasure

Next, think about what you want from your cock ring. What kind of sensation do you like? There are many styles to choose from for different types of fun.

Do you want:

• A softer, more comfortable ring: Go for a soft silicone or rubber ring like the Atomic Jock Sprocket cock rings. They’re slightly thicker but really comfortable and easy to put on and take off. These are perfect starter rings because they’re cheap too.

• To go balls deep: If you wear your cock ring above the scrotum, you may want a hard ring that sits flush with your shaft. This will allow you to penetrate deeper. The Velv’Or Rooster Jason is a good one.

• To delay orgasm: For longer sack sessions, go for a dual-ring cock ring, also called a cock-and-ball cock ring. These consist of two attached rings—one for the shaft and the other for the scrotum. The ring around the balls will prevent the scrotum from retracting when you’re ready to blow, keeping you in the game for longer. One of our favorites is the Velv’Or Rooster Justus.

• Buzzing vibrations: Vibrating cock rings add more sensation—a warming buzz that radiates from the base to the tip of your dick. It’s a must-try cock ring, and your partner will love it too. We recommend the Velv'Or Travis for first-timers and the LELO Tor 2 for pros.

• Anal stimulation: If you like a little bum fun, try an anal cock ring. Many cock rings come with anal attachments like butt plugs and anal beads so you can stimulate your back door while you do work upfront. We’re particularly fond of the Anal Fantasy Ass Gasm cock ring.

• Solo fun (masturbation): Most cock rings are well-suited for masturbation. For ease of use whenever you’re in the mood, a stretchy cock ring or an adjustable cock ring is always ready to go. Cock rings with anal attachments add a new element of self-pleasure to your solo play. Our go-to masturbation ring is the Velv’Or JBoa Bolt adjustable cock ring.

Step 3. Consider your Partner

Unless you’re using a cock ring for masturbation, you’ll want to pick one for your partner’s pleasure too.

Yes, cock rings aren’t just for those of us with penises.

If you pick the right one, you can super-charge your sex and leave your partner blown away. If you pick the wrong one, you might leave them feeling like they got the short end of the stick—literally.

For example, thick cock rings that sit above the scrotum will prevent you from going as deep as you can without a cock ring. Also, tight and thick rings below the scrotum may push the balls forward, preventing deep penetration.

For anal sex, this might be a good thing, depending on your partner. But for vaginal sex, you may want to get a thinner ring or an adjustable ring.

Another tip for vaginal sex— buy a vibrating cock ring.

There are loads of vibrating rings designed to tease the clitoris as you penetrate, making positions like missionary and cowgirl explosive. We’re talking multiple erogenous zones stimulated at once for intense and long-lasting orgasms for her.

For anal sex partners, vibrating rings are also good to tease the anal opening as you thrust. Cock rings with non-vibrating attachments can also achieve this, such as the Velv’Or Rooster Xander spiky cock ring.

Some partners don’t like the bells and simply want to feel you—harder and larger than ever.

The best way to find out what your partner likes is to ask them and to explore the different types of cock rings together.
