Why wear a cock ring?

Performance, pleasure, AND a powerful look and feel.   Once the penis is erect, a cock ring effectively restricts blood outflow, helping to maintain an erection and control ejaculation.   A cockring also creates sensations of tightness and pressure that heighten sensitivity and the intensity of an orgasm.   Finally, choose a ring that you are proud to wear and, hard or not, you will want to strut; that's how exciting it feels, and how outstanding you look! One simple device; multiple positive effects.

What kind of cock ring is best?

Cock rings are found in many designs and materials.   Beginners often use rubber or adjustable rings that are easy to use and remove, but the magic created when "metal meets flesh" simply cannot be duplicated.   Male-Essentials offers an outstanding selection of quality metal cockrings, but also a few rubber and leather styles for beginners or those that prefer them.

The absolute best cock rings are made of high quality STAINLESS STEEL. It is the addition of chromium that gives it unique corrosion-resistant properties. Stainless steel is also superior hygienically and has an easily maintained attractive appearance. Stainless is a lifetime investment, and its long term value far outweighs the initial higher cost.   Male-Essentials offers a beautiful selection of high quality stainless steel rings, with extremely attractive prices. We encourage you to consider them.

What size will fit me?

Proper fit is very important.  Here's how to measure:   Take a string and encircle it under your balls and up around the top of the penis.   Pull the string until you have a REALLY SNUG but comfortable fit.   Mark the string on both sides where they meet.  Take it off and measure between the marks.   Divide this measurement by pi (3.14) and you now have the inside diameter of a ring that will fit you well.

If you measure 4 inches (102mm), then your size is 1-1/4 inches (32mm).
If you measure 4-3/4 inches (121mm), then your size is 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
If you measure 5-1/2 inches (140mm), then your size is 1-3/4 inches (45mm).
If you measure 6 inches (152mm), then your size is 1-7/8 inches (48mm).
If you measure 6-1/2 inches (165mm), then your size is 2 inches (51mm).
If you measure 6-3/4 inches (172mm), then your size is 2-1/8 inches (54 mm).
If you measure 7 inches (178mm), then your size is 2-1/4 inches (57mm).

If this is your first ring, and you appear to be between 2 sizes, go with the larger size.

How do I put it on?

A conventional cockring is worn at the base of the genitals, encircling both the penis and the scrotum. Put it on before an erection.   Start by gently pulling the scrotal skin until the testicles pop through, one at a time. Then fold the penis down through the ring, and pull it through the cockring.  Adjust the ring up against your body, and you're ready!   (To remove, first gently pull the penis out, then the testicles.)

Smaller genital rings can be worn in other ways. Many guys like to wear one or more rings at the base of the shaft only, and/or a ring just over the head (glans) of the penis. And some like to wear a ring around just the testicles. Any of these styles can be worn together, separately, or in conjunction with a conventional cockring. There are numerous possibilities. Experimentation is bound to create super great looks for you, and ecstatic experiences for both you and your partner.

The lightweight head and shaft rings are becoming very popular as decorative wear, and many guys are buying different sizes so they can wear one when either hard or soft. Once you try these great new rings, you will probably feel "naked" if you aren't wearing at least one!

Are there any dangers?

Just use common sense. Remember to never force your organs into a ring that is too tight or that causes discomfort. If you are beginnner, start gradually and be gentle. You should be able to enjoy our cockrings with no harm or injury.

Caution and Disclaimer: Do not use cock rings if you are diabetic, have any blood or nerve disease, or are taking any type of blood-thinning medication. Do not use if you are injured, swollen or sore in the groin/genital area. Discontinue use if discomfort, bleeding, pain or numbness occur.
