Cock rings are often a guy's first introduction to sex toys because they are both accessible and extremely affordable. They might seem sort of weird if you haven't worn one but once you have, there's no going back. They feel great and perform several useful functions, ranging from erection enhancement to simply making your balls slap against your partner's ass with just a little bit of extra oomph.
There are a few different cock ring materials out there- some stretchy, some solid- and a number of designs that work on your balls, your wang, or both together. If you're not sure where to begin, this list of our top three cock rings in each category should give you all the info you need to find the perfect fit for you!
Stretchy Cock Rings
These rings are usually made out of silicone or another stretchy substance like TPE or other elastomers. They tend to be a little more forgiving on beginners and are generally considered to be more comfortable and versatile than their solid counterparts.
3- Malesation Cock Ring Set
This is a set of basic, stretchy black rings that aren't too chunky and not too thin. You get three in the set, so you can mix and experiment with different combinations of placement. Wrap one around your wang, one around your balls and one around the total package and see how it feels. You could just also wear them individually.
This set is a perfect way for beginners to get used to wearing rings because it is so soft and versatile. It has a low buy-in cost so even if you don't like rings, you haven't lost much by experimenting. An all-around solid choice for a stretchy cock ring for guys on a budget.
2- Malesation Power Cock Ring
This is a really nice, wider gauge ring that doesn't spill over into the "chunky" category. It's made of 100% silicone and is extremely stretchy and soft. It can be used like any other cock ring- worn on the shaft or balls alone or around the whole lot.
The wider band makes this ring less prone to slipping once placed and makes pinching far less likely. If you're looking for a nice, stretchy ring that's comfortable for extended wear, this little guy has the goods. It's also a nice step up for cock ring newbies looking to expand their horizons.
1- Optimale Cock Ring
This is easily one of the most deceptively high-quality stretchy cock rings out there. It's a little chunkier than our previous entries while still being extremely stretchable. The real secret of this ring's design is in the gently beveled design that gradually transitions from the outside of the ring to the inside without an edge or steep drop-off. This gives the ring some nice grip to keep it from sliding or rolling and pretty much eliminates pinching altogether.
If you're looking for a top-notch, soft cock ring that won't slide around or pinch your biz, this guy's the top dog.
Solid Cock Rings
Solid cock rings are just like their stretchy counterparts except for the obvious fact that they are made of solid materials, generally metal. They aren't as beginner-friendly as the stretchy rings because they are less adjustable and just have a slightly more intimidating aura about them. That same fact makes them great for exuding a dominant, dom-ish sort of vibe because there is something just a little more macho and masculine about a shiny, metal ring.
Once you get used to them, they are functionally about the same as stretchy rings. They keep your junk bundled up nicely and they do all that stretchy rings do to enhance both erections and orgasms. When you get down to it, whether you wear stretchy or solid rings is mostly an issue of aesthetics and personal preference.
3- Master Series Trine Steel Cockring Collection
Just like with the stretchy rings, our number-three entry is a collection of basic rings that are perfect for getting your feet wet when it comes to metal rings. They are an old-school classic- a basic metal ring with no bells or whistles.
They are a simple, affordable way to take some solid cock rings out for a test drive with little initial investment or risk.
2- Malesation Nickel Free Stainless Steel Cock Rings
This a more polished, elegant design that is a definite upgrade from the previous entry in all ways. the gently beveled design makes this ring easier to put on, more comfortable for extended wear, and less pinchy.
It's a nice step up from basic metal rings for beginners, but it's also a great choice for guys who like metal rings but aren't looking for such a "butch" aesthetic. More gently rounded rings don't give off quite the same masculine, dominant vibe as the wider, more square-ish designs. Speaking of which...
1- Alloy Metallic Cock Ring
This is an extremely masculine looking ring that definitely gives off the "in-charge" vibe that a lot of metal cock ring users look for. It's nice and wide which adds to the masculine vibe and adds a lot of comfort. It is practically pinch-free and won't start to bite as your erection grows.
If you're looking for an attractive, comfortable cock ring that does it all and does it with style, this is your best bet!
Combination Cock Rings
These are cock rings that are designed specifically to be worn around both your cock and balls. Sometimes called balls slings, these rings are often designed to add a little extra tug to your balls and really make the moment of climax feel more intense by preventing your balls from retracting normally. This effect prolongs your orgasm and makes it feel just a little more intense than it would without a sling.
While not the most beginner-friendly toy out there- some of the designs look more like puzzles than sex toys- once you get to know them, they'll be an honored guest in your bedside drawer forever.
3- Sport Fucker Energy Ring
This sassy little number is a good example of what we meant when we said some of these slings look like puzzles more than sex toys. Don't be fooled by the Mobius-like design, though. this bastard does it all.
This sling is super-stretchy and allows for many great placement options. Pop your cock through the top and drop your balls down the bottom or just pop your cock through the top and leave it at that. You can even drop one ball out of each of the side holes to split those babies up. Whatever you have in mind, this cock ring has you covered!
2- Annex Erection Enhancer T-Style Divider
Speaking of keeping those balls separated, this cock ring takes that idea and runs with it. This is a fairly standard ball sling with a little something extra in the form of a T-style ball divider. It bundles all your bits up comfortably and keeps it all nice and constricted for maximum effect.
If splitting those balls is a thing your into and you want a nice, functional cock ring to boot, this sling is gonna treat you right.
1- Oxballs Unit-X Cocksling
This is pretty much the perfect example of a basic cock and ball combo unit. It is soft, stretchy, and comfortable with a wider, more-forgiving design. Just pop your hog through the top and drop those balls down the bottom and you're good to go.
This combo cock and ball ring is excellent for guys who like the way their balls feel slapping against their partner's ass because it bundles them up nicely and slightly pushes them forward. It makes your orgasms feel great, keeps you hard, and feels amazing through it all. What more could you want?!
