1. Constriction Ring

This is the traditional style that most people envision when they think of the term “penis ring”. These tension bands fit tightly around the base of a man's erect shaft and helps him to maintain a firm erection for the duration of sexual intercourse or masturbation.

Penis erection rings or tension rings are typically used in conjunction with a penis pump by men with erectile dysfunction. They fit tightly are are all about business whereas many other types are also about pleasure.

2. Adjustable Cock Ring

Adjustable cock rings are a perfect compromise between tension and comfort. The reality is the tension devices are not very comfortable to wear because they fit tightly. The adjustable style can be loosened to fit more comfortably, but the opposite effect happens too – it is less effective at maintaining an erection.

They can be adjusted by either metal snaps or Velcro. They offer a slight boost to erectile strength, most adjustable types are also spreaders (spreaders are defined below) that feel very good when worn.

3. Single Penis Ring

The simple, discreet single band that fits around his dick. The slimline basic circular shape does not get in the way during intercourse, they rest against his pubic bone, keep the erection firm and stay in place unimpeded during lovemaking.

Most men purchase this style first because it's cheaper than the rest, making it a great risk-free trial to see if it's something you'll like. They can be stretchy silicone or sturdy rubber or metal. There are 2 sub-types here: the flat band and the thicker donut band. We'll elaborate further below.

4. Stacked Ring Sets

Cock Ring Sets consist of multiple single rings included together in one set. Often they are 3 different sizes which helps men to be more confident when making the purchase because out of 3 different sizes, one will surely fit! This is one of the best selling types because the customer gets excellent value for the money, and they come in a variety of sizes.

Even though many men think of wearing only 1 at a time, we suggest that men wear all 3 at the same time for maximum support. You can fit the largest one around the testicles and shaft together, or place all 3 over the shaft only. Stack them on your dick in sequence from largest to smallest.

5. Stretchy Donut Ring

The same as the single band, but much thicker. These are called “donuts” because they look like a thick jelly donut! Men who have a long or large erection stack these stretchy cock rings vertically on their cock to reduce the length of penetration to make sexual intercourse more comfortable for their partner.

The squishy padding also adds pleasure for both partners during the deepest penetrations. The priority is here is comfort for everyone and to reduce pain from sexual intercourse by limiting the distance a man can penetrate into the vagina. There's no need to ask how to put on a cock ring, these are the most obvious of them all!

6. Dual Cock & Ball Rings

The double cock & ball ring consists of 2 rings that are permanently connected together at a single point. One band fits around the base of his dick, the other wraps around the scrotum. The testicle strap lifts his package higher giving the illusion of a bigger dick. They usually fit snugly to help prevent premature ejaculation.

Men enjoy the feel of the pressure around the testicles, and the double ring stays in place without sliding around during lovemaking. These are extra beneficial if a vibrator is attached to the top of the unit because it keeps the motor positioned in place right over the clitoris and prevents it from moving away.

7. Vibrating Cock Ring

This style of purely a sex toy for couples looking for hands free pleasure during sex play. Most vibrating penis rings are wireless and self contained, although some have separate multi speed controller units. The wireless versions are quiet and discreet, corded versions have a tremendous amount of power.

Vibrating cock rings come in a range of single vibrators and dual vibrators attached to the device in various positions to stimulate the male scrotum and/or the female clitoris. Men wear these during masturbation and position the motor downwards to vibrate on the scrotum.

8. Lasso Cock Ring

A variety of adjustable ring, the Lasso cock ring is so-called because it looks like a cowboy's lasso. The rubber band has a clasp underneath and tassels that hang loose below. It can be worn around the shaft alone, or the scrotum and shaft together. This is the best selling type because there is no chance it won't fit! Regardless if you have a massive behemoth cock or a little micro dick, the Lasso will adjust to fit your size.

One of our best suggestions for guys who ask how to use the Lasso is to tighten the band (pull the clasp towards the shaft) before sex or jerking off, then presses the button and pull the clasp downwards during ejaculation for a surge of pleasure. It's like an instant release boosting ejaculation power. The hanging tassels discreetly stimulate his scrotum during sex and/or masturbation.

9. Weighed Cock Rings

You'll recognize this weighted cock ring from the little dangling bead hanging off the bottom of the device. Penis weights are mostly seen on vibrating rings, but from the photographs on an online catalog, you don't realize it's actually a heavy dense weighted bead! The bead is actually a solid weighted metal ball that sways independently as you move.

It's attached to the ring by a strand of flexible silicone letting it sway like the pendulum on a clock. The weighted cock ring bead taps the testicles and thighs of your partner during intercourse. The tapping sensation is described as a “tease”, or even tickle that enhances sex. We like these, they actually feel highly erotic! Additionally, the constant weight pulling down on his scrotum is another kinky feeling addition.

10. Cock & Ball Spreaders

Cock and ball spreaders or stretchers are complicated looking devices with multiple rings or bands attached together. The purpose of a ball stretcher is to spread the testicles apart and separate it from the erection. The feeling of having the pressure spreading the testicles is a massive orgasmic enhancement for men.

Spreaders don't actually squeeze the testicles, the pressure comes via bands that apply pressure in specific areas to make ejaculations feel more powerful. Men wear these mostly during masturbation.

11. Cock Cage

Cock cages are full braces for your entire manhood that are often used as chastity devices. The chastity cock cage surrounds your testicles, scrotum and erection in one tightly held package. Men enjoy the added stimulation from the constant pressure. For those who ask how to use a cock ring, these are the most complex, but yet provide the most pleasure from the chastity fetish.

These are made of stretchy silicone and are designed to fit any size. The entire device feels thin to the touch, so make sure to lubricate the interior to prevent it from tearing while putting it on. It will cling to your skin like tight wrap and look very manly and highly erotic.

12. Ring with Clit Stimulator

This style is a couples sex toy designed for men to wear during sex. The ring features a perpendicular extension that comes into contact with the female clitoris during penetration. These always have some sort of texture ranging from soft ticklers to a firm nub.

We find that tighter fitting stimulating cock rings work the best because if they are too loose, gravity makes the stimulator piece have downwards, especially when the device gets wet from too much lubrication, but don't worry, we've selected only the best stimulating devices for couples that don't move around too much!
