What are Cock Rings
- Cock rings constrict the penis and keep blood inside, which is what makes the penis become, and stay, erect.
- Many men enjoy the sensation of squeezing or fullness that cock rings create.
- Some men find that cock rings delay orgasm. Other men report that they are more sensitive when wearing rings and orgasm more quickly.
- Most men wear cock rings behind the testicles, although some wear them in front.
- When you’re new to cock rings, take them off after 5-10 minutes to make sure it’s not too tight.
- Some men enjoy wearing a ring during orgasm. Others prefer to take them off before they orgasm.
- Rings with snaps are easier to take off with minimum interruption and let you experiment with the sizing.
Safety Tips
- Adjustable rings are recommended for beginners since you can figure out what size fits best.
- Solid rings can only be put on and taken off when your penis is soft. We don’t recommend them for first-timers. Choose a stretchy or snap-on ring instead.
- If you have erectile dysfunction, a blood clotting disorder, any peripheral vascular or nerve disease, or if you take anticoagulants, aspirin, or any other blood-thinning medication, cock rings are not recommended without an OK from your doctor.
- If you experience any discomfort or unusual body changes -- including bruising, pain, bleeding or loss of sensation -- discontinue use immediately and check with a sex-positive physician.
What are Pumps
- Pumps draw blood into the penis, causing it to become erect.
- Some men enjoy the way their penises look while using a pump. Others like the way suction feels.
- Pumps do not permanently increase the size of the penis. Within a few minutes of taking the pump off, the penis goes back to its usual size.
Safety Tips
- Pay attention to how things feel and stop using your pump if it feels uncomfortable.
- Start off with just a few squeezes of the pump and increase slowly.
- If you have erectile dysfunction, a blood clotting disorder, any peripheral vascular or nerve disease, or if you take anticoagulants, aspirin, or any other blood-thinning medication, pumps are not recommended without an OK from your doctor.
- If you experience any discomfort or unusual body changes -- including bruising, pain, bleeding or loss of sensation -- discontinue use immediately and check with a sex-positive physician.
