Questions about cock rings

Hey everyone,

I decided to buy a cock ring, but I’ve got several questions about it.

1. Which size should I choose? Because I tried to wrap a string on by cock and balls, if its tight, it hurts when my cock erects; if its loose, for the most time I cannot feel the pressure.
2. How long should I wear the ring during the day in order to increase girth?
3. What state should my cock stay while wearing the cock ring? Completely flaccid or semi erect?

Thanks a lot!

1. For sizing info, give this page a read: Gear Essentials Sizing Guide | Provider of intimate products for men and those who love them including penis rings, ball weights, glans rings, shaft rings, and lots of toys & lubricants It’s a good idea to repeat the measurements several time a day for several days, then average them.

2. There is no guarantee that wearing a cockring will increase girth. You may be better off using a silicone cock-only ring, which just goes around the base of your shaft, rather than a full ring that goes around your testicles as well.

3. If you are using the silicone ring, you should aim to retain a slightly ‘plumped flaccid’, although if the ring is a safe constriction most of the time it won’t be much plumper than normal. You need to regularly take it off to check you are not getting congested lymphatic vessels (feel along your penis for something that feels like a ‘string of tiny pearls’), and to avoid fluid build up. Some guys are particularly prone to getting congested lymphatic vessels when using a cock ring, and you really don’t want them.

I seem to be prone to the congested lymphatic vessels when jelqing for awhile and clamping. Its one in particular. I feel for it while exercising, and when I notice it getting hard I rub it till its gone then massage it for about 5 mins. Am I doing the right thing?

Well done for watching out for it. Yes, you are doing the right thing. More info in this thread: Thombosed Vein vs Clogged Lymph Vessels

Thanks for the links firegoat. I’ll read into it.

Thought I would share my experience with cock rings.

I like rigid CRs (eg stainless steel) for long term wear. I am not keen on stretchy (eg silicone) ones for longer term (eg more than 30 mins) as they can constrict more over a wider range of erection levels. My ideal CR (cock only not cock and balls) is currently a 34 mm ID one which constricts when I get erect but not when I am flaccid. Also I, like most men,I am a bit tapered near the base and pushing it back into the fat pad helps me get erect. I have ED issues and this CR is very useful while I am jelqing or engaged in sex. It does make my flaccid a bit chubbier but in no way prevents me from moving from an erect to a flaccid state.

Its main PE use is as a jelqing aid. I wear it days at a time.

My advice is to try out a few rigid CRs with an ID a bit less than than your base erect girth till you find one that works for you.

Discovered a new approach to cock rings yesterday.

Had my favorite 34mm steel CR on and then fitted a very short soft silicone sleeve (cut off an ABSilicone pumping sleeve) at the base of my cock and then put the SS CR over the top. Felt hard as steel and had the best session with the wife I can remember. AS soon as we finished I removed the silicone sleeve. Would not recommend this for long term wear.
