The super soft c-ring by tantus is a cock ring. Cock rings come in two varieties. Those meant to be worn around the penis and those meant to be worn behind the penis and testicles. This one is meant to be worn behind the penis and the testicles. In case that is at all confusing think of grabbing as close to your body as you can and pushing your penis and testicles away from yourself. That is how this toy is worn.

A cock ring is used to help maintain an erection. It works by understanding a little physiology. The arteries bringing blood into your penis are on the inside of your penis. The veins taking blood away from your penis are on the outside. By constricting the veins with a cock-ring you make it harder for blood to leave your penis and it stays pooled there. This means more blood in your penis, and therefore a longer stronger erection.

A cock ring also simply adds a new sensation to sex. It feels different to have on. And it feels different to ejaculate with one on. They make it harder to ejaculate. Or cause it to take more time. I believe this is due to the constriction as well.

Cock rings are also used for their aesthetic appeal. You can get fun colors like these silicone rings. You can get them in stone varieties that are black or green. You can get them in metal. They do change how your genitals look and some people find it attractive.

I would classify this ring as a toy for beginners. The hardest thing about cock rings is having them fit. Like clothes not all sizes are going to fit, and unfortunately most stores do not have a change room for cock rings. Unfortunate I know. But this ring is very stretchy and I think should fit all average users. It can be a little difficult to put on. It took me a couple tries to figure out the best way. This toy is best used before you have an erection. I then just put my fingers inside the ring and opened them up as wide as I could. The ring is now stretched and is bigger. I then just slipped it over my testicles and penis. This cock ring sits behind your testicles.

Cock rings can be used during partnered intercourse to help maintain an erection and prolong your stamina. They however can also be used during masturbation. They add a unique experience to it. It delays your ejaculation and causes it to feel longer and potentially more intense.

A warning about cock rings. They can be dangerous. If blood sits in your penis to long it can actually cause problems. Ischemic Priapism can occur. What happens with an extended erection is blood flows in, but not enough blood flows out. The ischemic means no oxygen. So you get old blood in your penis that does not have enough oxygen to supply the penile tissue. And you start have damage. In severe cases you get penis tissue death. Not fun. So most recommendations say to not wear a cock ring for longer than an hour. And if you do feel any pain in your penis to remove it immediately as well. This honestly should never be a problem. You can simply remove the cock ring before then, but it is something you need to keep in mind.

This cock ring is made out of 100% silicone. This means it is non-porous and hypoallergenic. Always good characteristics to have from a material. The ring is a smooth silicone. It does not have very much drag. It has some, all silicone does, but it glides pretty well against the skin.



The material is very stretchy. I can easily stretch open a hole big enough to fit my penis and both my testicles through it at once. It is very elastic though and returns to its original shape.



The ring has a seam that runs along the entire length of it. I do not think this is an issue. You cannot feel the seam at all. So it is basically irrelevant

Overall I think silicone is great beginner ring material. It is going to provide some good compression. Not as much as if you had a perfect fit metal or stone or other hard material ring, but still very good. It is going to fit I think everyone, unless you are very very very well endowed. As I just said you do get some good compression. So it does act as a cock ring. You are going to feel pressure at the base of your penis.

The ring has no smell or taste. Because it is non-porous it is never going to take on any odor either which is a bonus. If semen or vaginal fluids get on it, then there is no problem. You can wash it and it will go back like it was when you first opened the box.

This cock ring is a circle. I think that is the only shape that makes sense for a cock ring. So I agree with that design element.

This cock ring has no bells and whistles. It is only meant to provide compression. And it does it well, and I have no complaints about it. It works exactly as expected. If you were looking to have something vibrate I would get a ring that only goes on the penis. And then it would be possible to wear this cock ring at the same time actually.

The ring could be called adjustable. As I have stated it is stretchy. So it is going to fit a wide variety of users. I find the fit to be very comfortable but provide the pressure I want from a cock ring at the same time.

I find this toy easy to take on and off. I just stretch it wide until I can fit all of my genitals in the ring. I also do the same to take it off. It is a lot easier to put on and off then a hard non-flexible cock ring.

Overall it is a very basic design, but it works and I think it is great especially for the price.

This cock ring performed well. I enjoyed the new experiences from it. Now I will say that I am a 21 year old male and erection are still a dime a dozen for me. They are easy to get and maintain and have for 30 minutes. So I cannot say if this will help getting and maintaining an erection.

What I did experience is the delayed ejaculation effects. The compression changes your orgasm. When you reach that point of your penis swelling and feeling full and you about to ejaculate, it delays it. It makes it harder to tip past that point. So you can maintain that feeling for longer. I found it enjoyable, but you will have to decide for yourself on it. I also found it actually changes the act of ejaculating. The pressure makes it feel slower and I felt like I actually ejaculated for a longer period of time. I think I would describe the orgasm as slightly less intense, but taking place over a longer period of time. It was a unique sensation and enjoyable and I think my girlfriend and I will continue to use this toy on occasion (and myself during masturbation)

The ring as just stated can be worn during intercourse, and while masturbating. It will change both experiences.

The ring can rub a little bit on your partner and cause some minor irritation. It is not a huge problem. This ring is pretty small so only in certain positions is it going to rub. I found that in missionary after a while my girlfriend would sometimes mention it. This can be eased though by adding some lubricant to the outside of the ring, or spreading some normal body lotion on her body areas the ring is going to come in contact with.

Silicone is a very easy material to take care of. It is completely non-porous. This means it will not harbor any bacteria or bodily fluids.

In order to clean this toy I would typically use soap and water. If you were looking to sterilize this toy, because you were using it with a new partner, or just wanted it to be extra clean you could sterilize it. You could clean it in 10% bleach then rinse it off, you could boil it for a couple minutes, or you can stick it in the dishwasher on the top rack with no soap.

Silicone toys should not be used with silicone lubricants. It can degrade them. So this toy is compatible with water and oil based lubricants. Silicone toys can also interact with each other. So it is best to store this toy so it is not touching any other silicone toys. I just store my in a small Ziploc bag

I would also recommend giving it a quick rinse with water before use. Pretty much all toys collect some dust and it is never a bad idea.

The toy comes in a little plastic shell. You can see how it comes here



Now I do not know if you would call this discreet. There is nothing overly sexual on the front of the box. It uses the word C-ring instead of cock ring. So perhaps you could tell someone it is a...cooking ring...coffee ring...craft ring.

The back of the box is less discreet. It states "Wearing a c-ring can create larger harder erections, and intensify the sensations of a male's orgasm. The Tantus Supersoft c-ring is a redesigned version of our classic ring. We use the same 100% ultra soft premium silicone, but with a stretchier softer texture to make is easier to put on even with an erection. Wear it around both the penis and the testicles for the most intense effect." So it does not provide great directions on how to use it. But it is pretty self explanatory

I threw away the package. I think it is too big and bulky to store the ring in it.

There

I enjoyed using this toy with my girlfriend. There is nothing overly inventive you can do with this toy other than use it as a cock ring. I found the sensations to be pleasant and there were unique. She liked the look of the ring. She thought it looked cute and she liked the purple color. For those of you in long term relationships then the "ring" aspect can be fun. There is some word play and flirting can occur.
