The Silicone Penis Ties are meant for use as adjustable cock rings. It can be used solo or with a partner and is safe to use by beginners as it easily releases. The purpose is to create a harder and prolonged erection. There are safety rules to be aware of before using a cock ring to prevent any permanent lasting damage. If it is your first time using a cock ring or penis ties, ease into longer periods of use. Try 5-10 minutes at first and work your way up to about 20 minutes. After about 20 minutes remove it and allow blood flow to return. Immediately remove it should your penis become numb or cold.

Both of the ties are 100% TPR silicone, which has a safety rating of 6. It is hypo-allergenic as well as latex and phthalates free. The material is stretchy and smooth with no seams. It appears like someone took a cylindrical strand of TPR silicone and just cut it into lengths then used plastic beads to create a loop. There is absolutely no odor and no taste to the material.

The kit comes with two separate ties of different lengths. The smaller of the two is 5 inches when in a loop and has one bead for adjusting the tightness. The larger of the two ties is 7.25 inches long when in a loop and has 2 beads for adjusting tightness around the penis and around the balls. The benefit of the beads is it allows tightness customization for all sizes of penis. This allows for ease in putting the toy on. Unfortunately, the beads are extremely hard to adjust and cause a risk of pinching.

The TPR Silicone of the ties requires cleaning before and after each use. Cleaning is extremely easy as you can use soap and water or a toy cleaner. The TPR silicone also means you can only use water based lubricants with these ties. DO NOT ever use silicone based lubricant with the ties as it will damage and degrade the silicone. You can easily store these as they can easily be thrown into a drawer.

My husband used these once and the very first attempt at tightening the bead cause a painful pinch and ended that go round. The stretch is fantastic and the material itself is great. The concept of being able to adjust them was great and what lead us to give them a try. It was this very feature that caused the problem.
