Cock ring: Meaning, Uses and What to Buy

A cock ring, or penis ring, is a ring worn around the base of the penis, and sometimes behind the testicles. It gently slows blood leaving the penis, which many men find makes an erection feel firmer and sensation stronger. Stretchy silicone rings are the safest choice; wear one for no more than about 20 minutes at a time.

Why it matters when buying

Fit and material matter for safety. A ring that is too tight, or a rigid metal one, can be hard to remove. Start with a stretchy silicone ring and take it off at once if it feels painful, cold or numb.

What to look for

  • Stretchy silicone or TPE for a first ring
  • A set with two or three sizes
  • A little water-based lube to roll it on
  • A vibrating version if a partner will enjoy it too
