What is a cock ring?

Anyone with a basic knowledge of English can probably guess what it means from the name. A cock ring is simply a ring around your cock, penis ring in Dutch. This ring not only provides a harder erection that lasts longer, but is also your best friend to delay your orgasm.

And so the penis ring is not only a sex toy for men, but also for the partner. Because the later your orgasm comes, the longer you can enjoy each other intensely. In addition, you can also use a penis ring as an aid for erection problems, precisely because it promotes the erection and maintains it for longer.

Some cock rings have a built-in mini vibrator. This way you can also use this sex toy as a couples toy for heterosexual couples. The vibrator that is present vibrates against the woman's clitoris during penetration. Double pleasure while the man's penis thrusts into her.

So it's clear: you can do a lot with a cock ring! At least, if you know exactly how to use it. But more about that later...

How does a cock ring work?

A cock ring is - you guessed it - placed around your penis. And preferably as close to the shaft as possible. Your cock ring also has to be tight, because that is the only way it can slightly constrict the blood vessels in your penis. This way, the blood stays in the penis longer, and that has major advantages: a longer erection, a later orgasm and a more intense experience.

But no need to panic: this feels quite nice and the positive effects of the ring feel even better!

Who is a cock ring for?

We believe that a cock ring is suitable for everyone. For a long time it was said that it was mainly good for men with erection problems. That is partly true. Yes, your erection will be more intense and last longer if you use a cock ring for erection problems, but this is not the only advantage. As we already wrote, you can also use a cock ring to make your orgasm more intense and even to stimulate your female bed partner extra.

How do you use a cock ring?

Using a cock ring is really simple. It is best to apply the cock ring around your penis when it is in a flaccid or semi-flaccid state.

You can choose to simply place your cock ring around your penis. Or you can also choose to place it around your scrotum.

However, you should keep in mind that the latter only works with a sufficiently large size and flexibility of your ring. As a tip, we also give: use some lubricant when applying.

But how do you determine the correct size of your cock ring?

What size cock ring do I need?

The right size of cock ring determines your pleasure. Here is a short step-by-step plan:

1. First decide for yourself what kind of cockring you want. Do you want to wear the cockring only around your penis. Or do you want a larger model that also fits around your scrotum?
2. Step two may be a bit crazy, but it is absolutely necessary! Take a measuring tape and measure the thickness of your penis and possibly your scrotum when erect. Remember this circumference or write it down somewhere.
3. Time for math: Divide this circumference by the number pi (hint: 3.14) to find the diameter.
4. Subtract a few millimeters from this diameter. For example 3 or 4 millimeters.
5. Then go online and find a cock ring that comes closest to your measurements, so you can be sure it will fit.

Not quite up to speed with the mathematical calculations? No problem, we'll clarify it with an extra example:

If you have measured a circumference of 10 cm, you should divide this number by 3.14. This will give you the diameter of your penis, in this example 3.18 cm. Then subtract a few millimeters from this result. Why? Because the ring should fit snugly around your genitals.

Always remember this simple rule of thumb: if the cock ring hurts, it is too tight and therefore not good. A cock ring is made to feel good, not to give an unpleasant feeling to your penis!

Well, that's it! Hopefully, after reading this blog post, you're all set and convinced to buy a cock ring yourself.
