These rings use Velcro, snaps, D-rings, or lasso-style adjusters to help you easily wrap on and remove the toy, says Emry. They’re worn underneath your scrotum and around your penis.

Usually made of a soft silicone, this type of ring is a closed circle that you stretch to wrap around your penis and under your scrotum.
“They’re a popular choice because they are easy to remove, but because they’re not adjustable, they may not be as tight as the wearer would like,” Emry explains.

3) Vibrating rings
Vibrating cock rings feature a small motor that provides vibrating sensations for you and your partner. “Some men love the vibration, but mostly these are worn to help the woman achieve a more intense clitoral climax,” Emry says.
Unlike the other rings on this list, vibrating cock rings are usually worn at the base of the shaft—but not below the testicles.
Stimulating her clitoris with a vibrating ring can take a little practice. You may need to stay deep inside her, working your hips from side to side instead of moving in and out, says Chaves. “Missionary and girl-on-top work best with vibrating cock rings when it comes to clitoral sensation,” he says.

Solid rings are not for beginners. They’re worn at the base of the penis and behind the scrotum. Exercise caution before using one of these: “If a man uses one that’s too small for his erectile capacity, it can cause penile damage,” Donaghue says.
When it comes to solid cock rings, Sparks recommends the Jnaja, from Vel’vor. “The Jnaja cock ring fits snug against the body, as it is curved, and fits around both the cock and the penis,” Sparks says. “It also has a small ’tail’ that stimulates the perineum with each stroke, giving him a much more intense orgasm. This cock ring is designed to be worn all day, but must be sized correctly.” (Sizing instructions are available on Organic Loven’s website.)

Some penis rings actually have two rings, one that wraps around the base of your penis, and one that wraps around your testicles. These rings are great for folks who like testicle stimulation during sex (or enjoying having their balls pulled lightly). These rings also are particularly helpful for delaying ejaculation because it pulls your testicles away from your body (and in order to ejaculate, your testicles need to retract into your body).

There are certain cock rings that connect to a butt plug. It’s a two-for-one deal! You place the cock ring around your base and then insert the butt plug for additional stimulation.

Applying a cock ring is a two-hand job, says Davis-Fainbloom. Lightly push the testicles down and out of the way with one of your (or your partner’s!) hands. Use another to slightly stretch out the ring. “Holding a flaccid or semi-erect penis in one hand, slide the ring onto the penis and down the shaft to the base,” says Robin Denise, MPH, a sexologist and sex doula. Place a condom on after the ring.
Optionally, you can also include your testicles. Denise recommends adding a few more drops of lube across the ring and testicles, stretching out the ring again, and slowly putting the testicle into the ring one by one.
4) Remove it delicately.
You can take off the ring once the penis is semi-erect or flaccid. First, remove the condom and then place a final few drops of lube at the point where the ring and skin meet, says Denise. “Slowly and gently glide the ring up the shaft towards the head,” she adds.
5) Wash it again.
Don’t forget to give the cock ring another good clean when you’re done with it. Wash it just as you did pre-use with warm soap and water or a silicone safe toy cleanser, says Denise.
Are cock rings safe?
Most of the time, yes. There are just a few guidelines to follow, starting with fit. You want the ring tight but not so tight that you feel numb.
“I recommend adjustable or stretchy silicone for novices because they are easier to adjust to your size,” says Kara Emry, manager of the sex-toy store The Stockroom in Los Angeles.
The next principle is pretty simple: Maintain your manscaping before popping the ring on. It’s smart to trim or shave your pubic hair before strapping on your new toy. “Nothing spoils the mood like unwanted pain from hair being pulled when putting on a cock ring,” says Hernando Chaves, a sex therapist based in Beverly Hills.
The last big rule is not to wear it longer than 20 minutes. This one is pretty important. “The penis can be permanently injured if the ring is left on too long,” Steixner says. If you feel numbness, pain, or notice the skin changing color, remove it immediately.
