OK, now that we understand how they work, this would be a good time to talk about safety. Y’all know not to leave a rubber band around you finger or wrist, right? Some of you may also know that using a tourniquet on an injured person is only for life or death emergencies as they risk the loss of the limb. This is because the area that is not getting blood is not getting the life giving oxygen that it needs, plus the heart is a powerful muscle that is capable of producing tremendous pressure. All that blood needs to go somewhere, this may just be those small blood vessels and they can burst from the pressure. Same holds true for you penis, even more so if you ask me.

So there are two words of wisdom when it comes to C-rings; Time and size. The first is a universal warning that comes with most C-rings, “Do not wear for more than 20-30 minutes without an hour or more in between. Never fall asleep with one on.” Your penis may get hard during the night and you may well wake up with a purple penis.

Pretty straight forward, eh? Well, sort of. I would say this applies to a correct fitting ring made with firm material such as silicone or stainless. A ring made from jelly or even some TPE/TPR will not restrict the blood flow as much due to the stretchy characteristics of the softer material. When in doubt, follow the old standby that covers all things. If you feel any pain, tingling or notice drastic color changes, get it off. Like now! (We’ll talk more about that in a bit) less

This leads us to the next step, finding the right size. If you want a ring that has a vibe that will stimulate your partner with little concern of increasing size, this is not as important but still it is good to give you a base line for size. If you are looking for that increase in size or need a ring to stay erect, this is very important. First, you need to decide where you want to wear it; on the shaft or around the cock and balls. This is your decision to make, some like it only on the shaft, some like to have the “Whole Package” in the ring. I prefer the whole package for most vibe style rings; they seem to stay better so I am not messing around with the vibe to keep it hitting the clitoris.

The main reason to wear on around the whole package is to keep the balls from sucking in during ejaculation. This intensifies the climax and provides a unique feel.

Now, you have decided where you want to wear it. Next step is to find a piece of string or a cloth tape measure and a marker. If you use a string, find something that does not stretch too much. Now, you want to wrap it around you area of choice. Pull it snug but not too tight and mark where the string overlaps. With the tape just read the measurement, with the string, measure from mark to mark. This gives you the circumference of your cock or whole package. Take this measurement and divide by 3.14 (pi) to get the diameter. (I find that cir. works better than diameter for a penis as they are not always round.)

I recommend you do this three or four times over a few days. Some days we are bigger than others.




Yay, we know how big we are. Haha less

For soft materials take 3/16”-5/16” of the measurement and that will make a good starting point. Since most of the rings have an unstretched diameter/ circumference listed use that as a base line. It is always better to be loose than to tight.
For hard materials it is advisable to go with your measurement or slightly bigger. Remember that your cock is going to get bigger with it on. Once again, bigger is safer.

Now let’s look at materials. Just about every material used to make sex toys can be found in C-ring and then some. About the only material I have not seen is glass but I am sure they are around. (haha get it?) For beginners I highly recommend going with a soft material like jelly or TPR/TPE. This allows you to become comfortable with wearing them, plus they are pretty cheap. There are a bunch of rings that are designed for “One time use”, these typically are under $10 and last one or two uses. That way if you find you do not care for them it is no big loss. As you get comfortable with them you can try different materials.

Something to think about, some materials like jelly and TPR may grab onto pubic hairs, you can do some manscpaing or use a bit more lube to keep it to a minimum.

I would hold off on the harder materials, silicone, metal, stone and wood until you are experienced with cock rings and know your size
Consider this, if for some reason you start to experience a lot of pain and that ring is so tight it will not release any blood, how are you going to get it off? This is even more important when you wear it around the whole package. Ice may work or even thinking about doing yard work but that is no guaranty. Silicone can be cut if you have a sharp knife or large scissors; stone could be broke maybe with a hammer but metal??? Well you get the picture, none of these options would be very fun and chances are you will need to go to the ER to have it removed. FYI, the ER will have a heck of a time with Stainless, it is very hard and not easily cut. I’ll save you the details but there is ice and sparks involved. less
