our first c-ring :)

I'm happy with choosing this as our first ring we've ever used, it truly is one size fits all and it's great for beginners.

Use

This is the first c-ring we have ever used. I ordered the TitanMen Stretch-to-Fit because I really wasn't sure how to figure out what size we're "supposed" to use, and this particular one seems to be an all around ideal ring for beginners. It is stretchy but has quite some resistance, not too big or small, and wide so it won't cut in. It is highly suggested to make sure pubic area is very trimmed if not entirely removed, to avoid unpleasant accidental hair pulling/entangling.

The purpose of a c-ring is to encourage and support longevity and increased girth by wearing the c-ring at the base of the penis, trapping the blood in the penile tissue.

Rings can be worn around the base of the penis shaft, around the balls, or around both the shaft and balls. Most importantly, the ring should be appropriately fitting or serious injury (and a trip to the emergency room) could occur.

Material / Texture

The TitanMen c-ring is made of TPR, which is an 8 on Edenfantasys scale of material safety. TPE and TPR are apparently generally interchangeable terms for thermoplastic elastomer / thermoplastic rubber, many medical tools (catheters, menstrual cups) are made of TPE/TPR and it is supposed to be perfectly body safe.

It is stretchy and has a lot of resistance (so it's not loose). The ring feels somewhat tacky and picks up every little piece of lint that you never knew existed. Ha, they should make dusters and lint rollers out of this material!
    • No odor
    • Stretchy

Shape / Design / Size / Fit

Initially when I ordered this I thought it would be fun for me to surprise him and just put it on him and see what he thought about it. However, when it came and I took it out of the package I decided it would definitely be best if he put it on himself. It is big enough/small enough so that it needed to be kinda tugged and stretched to get it on. I wouldn't necessarily say it was difficult, just a little tricky I think. My man says that a drop of some sort of lubrication would have made it easier to get on.

After playing with this I can feel very confident to recommend it to the largest and the smallest men out there.

(here are images of the unstretched ring, it very snugly fits around two fingers, and can be somewhat easily stretched around my entire hand - probably more)





    • Beginner
    • Can fit over both shaft and testicles
    • Will fit most men

Care and Maintenance

TPR is classified as slightly porous. It can be washed with soap and water, and toy cleaner. It CANNOT be boiled, HEAT WILL DESTROY this product. Silicone and water based lubes can be used with TPR.

This ring should be washed before and after use due to the tackiness of the material (I used water and a bit of hand soap and it was just perfectly fine). I suggest keeping the plastic blister package this comes in to store it in and help reduce the amount of dust and lint it collects when not in use.
    • Easy to clean

Packaging

This ring comes in a clear plastic blister pack which is reusable because you don't have to cut it to open it. I will be using this package to store it in, but removing the identification card that was in it.

The identification card is definitely not discreet, and it's not informative either.
    • Good for storage
    • Not discreet

Personal comments

As a female I cannot tell you how this felt first hand, I can only tell you what was told to me.

We used this at the base of his shaft, and did not put his balls through it. He said it was comfortable, he could feel the pressure of it without it being too much. He said it would have been easier to get on with a little bit of lube.

From a female perspective, I have had sex with this man literally thousands of times - I know exactly how he feels and how long he lasts. I do not have any complaints (obviously!), but I can definitely say that it did increase his longevity substantially, as well as I believe slightly increased the girth of his head. I think it looks interesting on him. I can feel it against me when he goes deep, which is neither pleasant or unpleasant. I've seen lots of these with little vibrators attached and I just don't think the vibration would be where I want it to be - perhaps we shall try that out.

I look forward to experimenting with this some more.
Follow-up commentary
OK! So, I first have to explain that my man and I laugh - a lot - always goofing around. This afternoon, he came out of the shower, into the bedroom, with this on and at full attention. This time he did put it on around his balls, too. I thought it looked absolutely hysterical, and I can't explain why, but perhaps it had something to do with the military salute he gave me when he entered the bedroom?

Here's the relevant bits: the first time we used this, we used it at the base of his shaft and I could feel it bumping against me. It wasn't unpleasant, but I do believe I kinda got distracted by it, I definitely noticed it, and I was really focusing on "how is this different than without wearing it?" With it around his balls as well, I couldn't feel it, but it also positioned his balls differently than usual and I could feel them bumping against me more firmly. I think that it also put his penis at a different angle, pointing upward more, and he definitely was hitting my g-spot very differently than usual.

All in all, I'm impressed with this ring. He is too, as he keeps digging it out to surprise me. I don't think I'll buy a rigid one to replace this, because I'm very conscious of the potential hazards and I would be very devastated if it hurt him.

    Thanks for the review. At some point your partner may want to give it a try around both shaft and balls,,I think he would like it.
  • Contributor: raffi
    we might try that - he surprised me this morning with it on - so I suppose that's testament that he does really like it. For a few bucks, I'm thrilled with this thing.
