Penis rings: how do they work?

Put the ring on ...

Have you ever heard of penis rings? A classic among toys, these little gadgets are rarely recognized for their true value. How to use them? What effects do they provide? For which practices? We clarify it here!

What is it?

The penis ring is simply a silicone ring a few centimeters in diameter. Behind this object with a classic and simplistic appearance, there is actually a formidable pleasure tool! The cockring can come in 3 different forms: the classic, the vibrating, and the double rings.

How does it work and what does it provide?

The cockring is placed around and at the base of the penis. During an erection, the ring will exert pressure and block blood flow. This will make the penis more sensitive to pleasure and maintain the erection longer. Said like that, it may seem a bit trivial but I promise you, it doesn't hurt, it's just pleasure! Coupled with masturbation, oral sex, or penetration, it's amazing! In addition to providing pleasure, the cockring makes the penis appear larger, which can be visually very exciting.

Best practices for using penis rings

First, you need to choose a ring that fits your size. It may seem obvious, but you need to adapt the diameter of the ring to that of your penis: a ring too large will give you no sensation, and a ring too small could completely block circulation, which can be dangerous. Luckily, they are often sold in sets of different sizes! Then, put it on before you are fully erect, so as not to hurt yourself. You can use a drop of lubricant to avoid pulling your skin as you slide it over your shaft. Place it straight at the base of your penis. If you are afraid of feeling a “tourniquet” effect, choose an adjustable cockring, which will be more comfortable.

How to remove it? Nothing could be simpler. Once your little business is done, wait calmly for your erection to subside. Once at rest, gently remove the ring. If necessary, you can also use a bit of lubricant here.

After use, do not forget to clean it well. Even if it is not an internal sextoy, disinfecting it after each use is essential!

Penis rings: how to choose them?

As mentioned above, first choose its size. Diameters generally range from 2 to 5 centimeters.

Then, choose the type of ring you want:

• A simple ring: ideal for a first time, the simple ring like the adjustable one will allow you to test this stimulation without getting lost in sensations. Simple and effective, it is also suitable for smaller budgets. To be used during masturbation or penetration for shared pleasure!

• A vibrating ring: Great for use by two, vibrating rings allow you to stimulate your partner during penetration. They usually have a small vibrating bullet that rests on the partner's clitoris or the base of their anus. For more generalized vibrations, and if you want to make sure your partner feels maximum vibrations, opt for fully vibrating cockrings, like the Hiö for example.

• The double rings. They consist of two loops: a first one to place the penis, and a second to encircle the testicles at their base. Vibrating or not, they further delay ejaculation by exerting pressure on the vas deferens (that's where the sperm comes from!). For a non-vibrating version, we recommend the double cockring Hector.

• If you're looking for intense sensations, you can opt for connected cockrings that can be controlled remotely!

There you go, now you know everything about these little magic rings, it's up to you to make good use of them!

See you soon 💜
