How do I put on a cockring? 

The cockring is one of the most popular male sex accessories. It's a ring that needs to be placed over the genital organ to reduce blood flow, creating a nice erection. This toy is reputed to be effective, but to feel its effects, it must be used correctly. What is a cockring? Which model to choose? How do I put it on? Without further ado, discover the answers to all these questions.   

What is a cockring? 

The cockring, also known as the penis ring, is an accessory for use during masturbation and intercourse. The ring is placed either at the base of the penis or around the testicles. It acts by reducing blood flow to the penis. As a result, the penis is more swollen than usual. Cock rings also prolong erections and delay ejaculation. 

Despite the aforementioned benefits of the ring, it's important to note that this sextoy is not recommended for treating erectile dysfunction. Also, the cockring is not effective for everyone. Its effect can vary from one individual to another. If you're self-conscious about using it, it may cause you more pain than pleasure. 

How to choose your cockring? 

Before we tell you how to put on a cockring, we'll help you choose. penis ring best suited to your needs. There's a wide variety of cockrings on the market to suit all tastes. 

First, consider the material. You'll find silicone rings, but also metal and aluminum rings. The latter are more expensive and require experience. If this is your first time using a cockring, opt for silicone models. They're softer, more flexible and easier to put on. 

Next, select your cockring based on the different features on offer. Some cockrings vibrate. Other models feature spikes and are perfect for stimulating your partner's clitoris during intercourse. And let's not forget the connected models that can be activated from a mobile app. 

You can also choose between disposable and reusable penis rings. Disposable rings can be thrown away after a single use, while reusable rings can be worn up to 6 times or more. 

The size of the ring is also an important consideration. To achieve the desired effects, you need to choose a cockring that's neither too small nor too large. If the sextoy is too tight, it may cause discomfort and pain. On the other hand, if it's too big, it may not be effective. To find the right size cockring, you need to measure the size of your penis. To do this, take a tape measure or similar and measure the diameter of your erect phallus, then divide the figure by 3.14. Normally, this should give you a figure of between 2.8 and 5 cm. 

Finally, we advise you to be careful with your budget. It's better to spend more than 20 euros on a quality cockring, than to opt for a low-end product that risks being fragile, ineffective and dangerous to health (with toxic components). 

How do I put on a cockring? 

Now, gentlemen, let's get down to business! Here are the steps you need to follow to put on your cockring properly and enjoy its many benefits. 

Shaving 

Having hair around the penis can make it difficult and uncomfortable to use a penis ring. That's why we encourage you to shave. Mind you, a razor is not necessarily the best ally! Ideally, you should use electric clippers. For hair around the testicles, use a pair of scissors. 

Use a lubricant 

Fitting a cockring is no easy task, especially if you're not used to it. To simplify the task, don't hesitate to use a lubricant. A water- or silicone-based lubricant will do the trick. Put some on your sex and inside the sextoy. But be careful not to overdo it, or you'll find it even harder to put the ring on. 

Inserting the cockring 

You have two options for fitting your cockring. 

• Put the cockring on the penis 

It all depends on the type of cockring you have. If it's a stretchable penis ring, you can put it on whether your penis is at rest or erect. Extend the ring with your fingers and pass the member through, then position the cockring upright. This way, it will have a better effect. On the other hand, if it's a ring with a fixed diameter, it's best to do it while the penis is at rest. 

• Put the cockring behind the testicles 

The cockring can also be positioned behind the testicles. To do this, enlarge the ring and pass your penis, then the bursa, to position the ring as close as possible to the pubis. Be careful to keep the bursa and skin of the penis clear of the ring, so as not to feel any discomfort or pain during the erection. 

Watch out!

You should not use a penis ring for too long. Prolonged use can damage the penis, causing the veins to burst or a prolonged painful erection (priapism). The maximum time allowed for each use is 20 to 30 minutes. Allow 60 minutes between uses.
