Couple's rings such as this one are designed to be wrapped around the base of the shaft of the penis or the base of the entire male "package" (beneath the testicles) to restrict blood flow and increase the hardness and intensity of the erection. Another pleasant side effect is that they tend to increase the intensity of orgasm and help the wearer hold off from orgasm longer.

The Macho Style Leather Cock Ring lends itself well to beginners because of its fastenable style. While hard-material cock rings (such as metal or wood) would likely increase the hardness of the erection even further, they can be very difficult for beginners to put on and take off. An adjustable-style cock ring, such as this leather cock ring, eliminates that problem because this can be unsnapped and resnapped as necessary.

This adjustability means the Macho Style Leather Cock Ring also lends itself well to non-intercourse use. It can be worn on a looser setting for long periods of time as an "accessory" to show off the genitals - such as during swinger parties or other such types of gatherings. It can be used as a type of male lingerie without endangering the health of the wearer.

Because this ring is made of leather, however, there are some restrictions on its use. It should not be used near aquatic environments to avoid damage to the material. As it doesn't include any vibrator or other sensation-providing-aspects, it also will provide very little stimulation to the non-wearing partner.

The Macho Style Leather Cock Ring is made out of a nice, softened leather. It still has the feel of leather, but the leather has clearly been softened with products to make the feel of this material very slick and soft against the skin. The edges of the material have not been specifically treated with the softener, but the edges are not rough nor sharp, and they will likely not dig into or cause pain to the surrounding skin when the ring is worn.

This cock ring has a noticeable leather smell straight out of the packaging, but the smell will disappear after a couple of days in circulating air.

The couple ring's material has no stretch or give to it at all. It will stay at the exact same size as where the snaps are snapped together. However, the material is extremely flexible, and it will flex and bend into whatever shape you'd like the ring to be made into.

Unlike many other cock ring materials, this leather material does not pull on pubic hair. The only danger of pubic hair pain is if you tug your own while putting it on or if you accidentally catch a hair in one of the snaps when fastening it.

The Macho Style Cock Ring is 12" in total length. This length can be wrapped into a circle as tightly as you would like. The tightest setting offers a diameter of 1.5" while the loosest setting extends all the way up to a diameter of 3.5". This range of sizes is more-than-enough to fit any penis size out there - whether used at the base of the testicles or at the base of the shaft.

This cock ring easily adjusts via the snap closures. The tighter the ring setting, the more snaps you'll need to snap together. When using the ring at the loosest settings, there are fewer snaps to be done.

With its excess length, this cock ring can be snapped into various alternative cock ring configurations as well including a ring with a "between-the-balls" testicle separator. However, the ring doesn't seem to be designed for that use - even if it chooses to take advantage of that.

Crafted with a basic tightening design, this ring was mostly designed to restrict blood flow to the erection. With its minimalist design, it will not offer much additional pleasure to the wearer or their partner aside from a firmer, stronger erection and a nice accessory to look at.

This Macho Style Cock Ring is very simple to use. Wrap it around the penis and fasten the snaps. Due to the large length of this couple's ring, this ring will work best when used to wrap around the entire genital package - including underneath the testicles and around the shaft. However, the ring can be wrapped tightly enough to be worn only on the base of the shaft of the penis as well.

Patience may be required for using this ring. To avoid the snaps catching on hair or the ring losing some of its efficacy, it's best to fasten all of the snaps at the size you're hoping to use. To avoid uncomfortable pressure on this sensitive area, it works best to gently snap one snap at a time. At the tightest setting, these could be 8 different snaps.

Each snap, however, is relatively easy to snap shut. The snaps become easier to use over time, but even straight out of the package, they snap together pretty easily.

The snap system also allows the cock ring to be extremely easy to use. People of any experience level can use this ring with absolutely no problem. The biggest challenge with wearing the ring will be snapping the snaps without putting too much pressure or discomfort on the penis; using a finger slid underneath the ring to snap helps eliminate that problem.

As the cock ring includes no other vibrator attachments or stimulation design, this ring is purely designed for blood constriction of the penis. It will likely not provide much stimulation for the wearer or the wearer's partner outside of that purpose.

When it comes to doing what it's designed for, though, the Macho Style Cock Ring does succeed. When placed on a tight enough setting, this ring will restrict blood flow out of the penis and will increase the firmness and sensitivity of an erection. The edges of the leather can be slightly irritating for the first use, but after running fingers along the edges of the ring for a little bit, the edges are much more softened up and extremely comfortable to use - including long-term wear at a looser setting for "fashion" purposes. The adjustability allows this ring to work perfectly for blood restriction - as well as decoration for the genital area for hours on looser settings.

This cock ring is made from leather. This is a particularly high-maintenance material to have near bodily fluids. Submerging or keeping the ring in water can begin to damage the leather - as can using many types of harsh soaps. For light cleaning, use a lightly damp washcloth to wipe off the surface of the ring. Cleaning the ring while it's laid flat and unbuttoned will be the easiest way to take care of it.

For any deep cleaning, use standard leather cleaning protocols. This can become a kinky ritual in and of itself - much like the care of leather boots or leather clothing.

For storage, it is recommended to store the ring either entirely flat or buttoned to the tightness that you'd usually use it during use. If the ring is fastened into a circle, try to avoid letting the ring get squished flat. This could possibly put some unintended wrinkles in your leather.

The cock ring will come to you in a see-through plastic bag. This bag is unsealable, and it will need to be destroyed to get the ring out of the bag. Aside from a bar code that's used for warehouse purposes, there are no other markings or instructions on the bag.

If you ever really decide you need a "grungy" accessory for an outfit, the Macho Style Leather Cock Ring is easily large enough to be used as a bracelet or an anklet - and very comfortable - even for plus-sized bodies.
