Cock rings are used to provide restriction to the blood flowing out of your cock, making you bigger and last longer. Metal rings are among the best materials for this. One of the biggest problems is the need to put them on when soft or having to wait until your soft to take them off.

Pipedream has solved this problem by adding a hinge and lock. With this design, you can put it on or take it off whenever you choose. Simply add some lube to the ring and your package and clamp it on and install the lock. Since cock rings should not be worn for more than 30 minutes, this allows you to take it off fast if the night gets long.

The lock also adds the ability to add a leash so your partner can lead you around - talk about "Got you by the balls!"

The Metal Worx Cock ring is made from polished steel. As such, there is no smell or taste and it is 100% body safe. Furthermore, there is no give to steel so there is no worry about it breaking at a bad time or losing its shape over time.

Of course, since it is steel you must be sure of your measurements before ordering. Too tight and the ring may cause pain or damage to your manhood, too loose and you will not get the desired results. Good thing Pipedream offers three sizes to fit most guys.

For anyone that has used a metal ring, you know how important it is to get it on while soft and the "Fun" you can have putting it on. Even worse is letting your partner watch as you stuff your balls and cock through the ring. Not the most visually pleasing, eh?

This is where this design shines and makes putting it on quick and easy. Simply undo the lock, add you favorite lube, spread the ring open and wrap it around your package. Install the lock and watch your cock become engorged.

This ring is polished to a nice chrome like shine, all the edges of the ring are rounded and smooth. The hinge and lock areas are a pinch point so care must be used when putting it on. Also, turning it while in place may grab skin or hair so be careful there too. Once you have it on and in position there is little worry. The padlock is pretty small and the keys are even smaller, so be sure not to lose the keys when the ring is on or during storage. You can replace the lock or use other means of securing the ring if you want.

I found that placement of the lock is pretty important depending on how you are using it. For just wearing it around, placing the lock to the side is the most comfortable. With the lock down below the balls it can be a bit painful to the "boys" if wearing tight manties. Whereas during sex the side or down position works best. If your partner likes a bruised clitoris you could wear the lock on top but I doubt many ladies like that.

Because of this design, it is best worn around the whole package. That is, behind the balls at the base of the shaft.

Aside from the normal use of a cock ring, the lock is just big enough to use a leash with. In this way your partner could lead you around and force you to do their bidding.

Cleaning is quick and effortless, good old soap and water will work for most times but boiling, 10% bleach solution or antibacterial soap are fine for more intense cleaning. Pay special attention the hinge side as this is a great hiding spot for nasties to hide.

Any lube you like will work well. Silicone will provide the longest lasting comfort but water based lube is the easiest to clean off.

Storage is provided for you with the case or you can toss it anywhere you please since it will not interact with other materials.

Pipedream sends you your ring in a great case. It looks much like a high quality suitcase that diamonds or top secret James Bond stuff would come in. The edges are rounded metal with hard plastic inserts/sides. The latch keeps is closed tight even when tossing it around.

The top and bottom have stickers with the ring pictured and product information printed on them. These can be removed for more discreet storage if needed.

Inside your ring is nestled in foam that has been cutout to fit perfectly. The foam can be removed for storage of other stuff as well. If you are good with a sharp knife, you can even trim some of the foam from the bottom to provide space for a condom or two.

I found no problems with the finish on this ring: there are no pits, discoloration or sharp protrusions. During use it did what a metal cock ring should and preformed well. Positioning is key during intercourse to prevent pain to myself or the wife. That is something that a person should experiment with beforehand.

My main problem with this ring is the hinge and lock side and how they are finished. The edges are sharp - as such, when putting it on it is very easy to get skin caught in there. In this I find that putting it on while soft is the best bet, kind of defeats the purpose, eh? Also, adjusting the ring once hard can be a pain (literally) as it can grab skin/hairs or scratch me. I am not one for pain on my junk at anytime.

I found the hinge on mine to be pretty loose - the rivet that holds the two pieces together should nave been smashed a bit more. This may have helped with the pinching when on since it allows the two halves to move a bit.
