Cockrings are just so much fun, and they come in so many different shapes, colors, sizes, and designs. You can have a cockring around just your shaft, or around your shaft and balls. It can vibrate, be really flexible and soft, like this one, or be extremely firm and un-yielding, like a stainless steel one from Gear Essentials. Cockrings are mainly meant to restrict bloodflow from your penis, resulting in a firmer erection, and a longer lasting one as well. But it's not all fun and games with cockrings, they can be dangerous as well if they are misused.

Generally speaking, you should not wear a cockring for more than 30 minutes at a time, because leaving it on longer than that can cause tissue damage inside of your penis, since the blood can't get out. If you feel numb or see your penis turn strange colors, get it off immediately. Also, never, EVER, go to sleep with a cockring on. Sizing is not an issue with this Super Soft Cockring since it comes in only one size, and it is very stretchy. But if you want to try a metal cockring, you need to measure yourself for the proper size before ordering. Too small, and you will have major issues and an emergency room visit. Too large, and it won't do anything to your erection except hang out.

To figure out your proper size, take a narrow piece of paper, or string might work even better, and measure around the base of your penis and testicles. Mark where the ends meet, and divide this number by 3. You should then get a measurement between 1 3/4 inch up to 2 1/8 inch. This will be the size of your stainless steel ring.

Over the years, I have been looking for the perfect cockring, hoping that one day it would find a place around my penis and balls. I wanted to find a cockring that would be sterilizable, for when it comes into contact with my wifes ass. I have tried TPR cockrings, but they aren't sterilizable, and are slightly too soft and flexible to be properly restrictive. I have tried plain ole Tantus silicone cockrings, but they are too firm and impossible to get on and off with an erection. I have tried stainless steel on a few occasions, but it is the same complaint as the Tantus regular silicone. I have even tried leather, and while easily adjustable, it still isn't sterilizable.

Then one day, totally out of the blue after being on Eden for about 6 months, I found the Super Soft Cockring. I think at that moment that I have finally found what I have been looking for. Is it silicone? That's a check for sterilization. Does it go around both my shaft and balls? Check again. And the most important, am I able to get it on and off with a full erection? Tested and passed on the very first use!

This is made out of the same material as the Tantus Super Soft VIP dildo, so it is even softer than a Tantus O2 dildo or a Vixskin dildo. This means it is a super soft silicone, that is extremely safe, and extremely flexible. Silicone in general is latex and phthalates free, is hypo-allergenic, non-porous, and a food grade material.

When opening up my package from Eden, I pulled out this cockring, and was really quite surprised by how small it is. By looking at the photos on Eden, I thought it looked about the size of a normal metal cockring, except that it is made out of super soft silicone. Way off! This is only 1 1/2 inches across the inside of the ring unstretched and a 1/2 inch wide, so I was going to be definitely testing the stretchiness of the material. I normally like a 2 inch metal cockring for comfort, but with this starting out so small, I was definitely stretching it out to get it on. While wearing it the first time for about 10 minutes, it definitely worked well as a cockring, and was quite snug around my shaft and penis, but it wasn't uncomfortable. But things were really tight, and I wish this was just slightly larger for me. Compared to wearing a Gear Essentials ring that fits me properly, this really causes the veins in my penis to become enlarged. Like I said, its not uncomfortable, but just a hair too tight.





The purple ring in these photos is the Tantus super soft, the black one is the Tantus intermediate cockring, and the two red ones are Cal Exotics cockrings.

Since this is made out of one of my favorite sex toys materials, clean up is a snap, or breeze, or it can be good ole lickity split. For general cleaning, just some warm water and anti-bacterial soap with a towel dry will do the trick. If you want more intense cleaning, there is also the option of boiling this for 3 minutes, using a 10% bleach solution, or placing this in the top rack of the dishwasher with no soap. But the rinse cycle will probably send this flying around your machine, so I would advise against this method. For storage, we just leave this out in a tray with our other cockrings.

The Tantus super-soft came in a fairly small package, measuring 4.75 inches across, and a total of 5 inches tall. Its a circular package made out of clear plastic, with the ring centered in it, and a piece of cardboard in the center with information. It gives basic information about the benefits of a cockring, and the material it is made out of. It says if you want cleaning information to visit their website.

The first time using this, I luckily had my wife handy to help stretch out the ring for me as I placed my penis and balls through it. With her helping, it was easy to get this on. It might have been slightly too tight for me, but it was still comfortable. Then when it came time to take it off, even though I still had a partial erection, I was easily able to pop out one ball at a time, then slide the ring off of my penis.
