How to choose your cockring ?

Now that you are tempted by the penis ring, you are surely wondering about the criteria to be examined before choosing it. Don't panic, here are the characteristics to take into account to find the one that will suit you best.

Size

This is the most important element, the one that will take precedence over the others throughout your search. A ring that is too tight could be dangerous, as it would impede the proper circulation of blood in the penis. If the ring is too large, it will not have the desired effect of improving the erection and will not hold in place sufficiently. It will then be awkward during the movements of penetration for example, it would be likely to wander along the penis.
The size is thus a crucial element in the choice of a cockring. To determine the diameter of your future ring, it will be necessary to leave the tape measure. Wait until you have a big enough erection to make your calculations. If not, you could obtain measurements lower than your real measurements, and you would be likely to find yourself with a ring too small. The safest thing to do is to take your measurements several times. When you feel ready, wrap the tape measure around the base of your penis and record the result. If you are going to put the ring behind your testicles, take a measurement there as well. If you're not confident in your measurements, opt for a ring that's slightly larger than the diameter you got, or simply ask our sales staff for advice and they'll help you find the best option.

The texture

For the beginners, it is preferable to choose a smooth cockring. This is easier to place on the penis. However, once you master the gesture, you can move on to models with a special texture. There are some with ribs, spikes, grooves, bumps, etc.. Some even have little balls inside the ring to stimulate the penis during the movements.

The material

There are several options. If you are using a penis ring for the first time, it is best to choose an elastic material such as silicone. This is safer if you make a slight mistake with the size or if you have trouble with the placement of the ring. When you will have become an expert of the cockring, you will be able to test the metal or leather rings. Steel and aluminum for example are easy to clean and have the advantage of being very respectful of the body. However, no margin of error is possible, the ring must be perfectly to your size, because these materials are not extensible.

The choice of the model

It all depends on the use you want to make of it. The best is of course to start with the simplest: a single ring positioned at the base of the penis. There are nylon lace type models, very secure for beginners. There is no need to worry about the size and they are very easy to remove in case of problems. Gradually, you will be able to move towards more sophisticated models for your erotic or SM games, with for example cockrings comprising several connected rings, vibrating rings or models weighed down by weights.

How to position its penis ring?

The cockring is placed at the very beginning of erection or in semi-erection. For the model with only one ring, there are two ways of positioning it. The first one is to simply make it slide to the base of the penis. However, this technique can cause discomfort for some men, due to the non-negligible pressure exerted on the penis. The second method is slightly more complex, but avoids this inconvenience. It consists of positioning the ring behind the testicles. To do this, first pass one testicle through the ring, then the other, trying not to pinch the skin. Then you just have to insert your penis into the ring.
