This is used as a traditional cock ring. You sit it behind the ball sack, at the base of your penis. It is said to enhance your erections, and prolong your love making sessions. I find it gives my penis just a little more thickness. It does not really prolong anything, at least not from what we can tell. But my wife can feel the size difference. Especially when I am cumming.

The website has this listed as stainless steel. I think it is way to heavy to be 100% stainless. Stainless steel tends to be on the lighter side of the metals. This might be a dual layer ring. Maybe steel in the center, wrapped in stainless. But could not find any information on my theory.

Stainless steel is "a ferrous alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content." Stainless should never rust, that is the beauty of stainless. It will corrode, all metal does. So you want to make sure to not leave it laying around wet, it could damage the beauty of this ring.

I picked out the 1 7/8 inch diameter. I have been looking for a ring that comes in a size between 1 3/4 inch and 2 inch. 1 3/4 inch is too small, and 2 inch is slightly too big. So I was super excited when I found this one, and as a bonus it was on sale. These come in 3 sizes, 1 7/8 inch, 2 inch, and 2 1/8 inch. So you should be able to find a size that fits you.

This is super heavy. The heaviest cock ring I have ever tried. It weighs in at about one pound. That is over twice as heavy as my second heaviest. There are no sharp edges on this ring. Every edge is eased, if not fully rounded off. So no sharp edges to cause any pain for you or your partner. It is designed to look like 2 rings stuck together, or stacked one on top of the other. The inside is completely smooth.

Just make sure you don't leave this laying around wet. It could cause the stainless to corrode. Other then that, stainless is super easy to take care of. You can clean this ring with your preferred method. I just wash mine with soap and water. But you could use your dishwasher, soak it in a bleach solution, use toy cleaner, or even boil it in some water. Just make sure to dry it when you are done cleaning it. I store mine in the drawer next to our bed. I have not had any problems with storage. It even comes in a nice tin for storage, but more on that below.

This comes in a nice tin. It is black in color. The only writing on the tin, is the words "gear essentials" written around the sides of the tin; and the gear essentials logo on the top of the lid. So it is pretty discreet. Unless you know sex toys pretty well, you would not know what kinds of products gear essentials produced. The inside of the tin has some padding to keep the cock ring from sliding around. There are no instructions of any kind included with this cock ring.

I just wish that cock ring manufactures included instructions with their cock rings. So much damage can be done by a uninformed cock ring user. There should be at least some basic instructions.

To measure for a cock ring like this, one that does not stretch, you need to take a string and wrap it around the base of your penis and balls. You want it to be slightly snug, but remember that you have to get it off after you put it on.

To get it on and off, you need to insert your balls through the ring first. Followed by your soft penis. I find it helps to insert my balls one at a time. Once you get them and your penis through, pull it snug to your body. Go about your business. When done, you now need to take it off. You don't want to wear it for longer then 30 minutes at a time. To take it off, you need to gently push your balls back out. I find that it is also much easier to do this one at a time. You might need to pull the ring down toward your feet as you are pushing your balls out. Then you can slide the ring over your penis, hard or soft does not matter too much at this point.

This cock ring was just about right. At first I thought it would be way too heavy, but it almost went unnoticed during use. I think that because the way it sits on the base of your penis, you cant feel the full weight of the ring. I believe this to be a good thing. I had no trouble putting it on, or taking it off when done playing.
