10 Best Cock Rings [Video Demonstration]

Our team tested dozens of cock rings over the span of several months, and MysteryVibe Tenuto 2 came out on top for comfort, performance, and versatility. The flexible silicone wings stretch to fit a wide range of sizes while holding securely in place. During testing, it consistently provided strong, deep vibrations that stayed steady across all settings, and it remained quiet enough for discreet use.

Why You Should Trust Us

Having used cock rings since 2010 and reviewed them professionally since 2016, there’s no better person to write about these male sex toys than Tim Larson. In addition to his own vast experience, he employs a team of product testers from all walks of life who provide valuable input. He also liaises with external sex educators and sex toy forum users to make sure every voice is heard.

“The secret to our successful operations in the dynamic and often demanding sex industry is delivering relatable and efficient answers,” Tim says. “It sounds easy on paper, but it takes a whole unit working together on research, product testing, and of course, using our long-standing sex toy experience to get it right!”

How We Picked the Products

I preselected dozens of penis rings for this article. Some models like We-Vibe Pivot, Je Joue Mio, and b-Vibe Snug were removed from this year’s list, while other models, like LELO Tor 3, were added. After I had a comprehensive list for review, I assembled the team and defined several test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These included the following:

• Build Quality: Like other sex toys, the build quality determines the overall experience. Everything from the shape to the finish and flexibility is essential. For this reason, we reviewed multiple designs, emphasizing the body and other features that make one model better than another for specific stimulation purposes.
• The Size: Most products are made from super-stretchy materials, such as silicone, so the size isn’t a matter of life and death. But even then, we included models with different dimensions to ensure everyone gets something that suits their sexual desires. Other size motivations included ease of use and travel-friendliness.
• Settings: The more settings, the better. For all the vibrating cock rings, we always prioritized models with the most vibrations. After all, more combinations mean different users can enjoy the penis ring by customizing it to match their experience and desires.
• Stimulations: We highlighted models with multiple motors, like Hot Octopuss’ Atom Plus Lux. A dual-motor design promotes powerful and targeted stimulation.
• Special Features. Cock rings have different capabilities – vibrations, smartphone apps, remote control, and stackability. The team included models with various features, intending to provide something for everyone.
• Material: A significant non-negotiable was the choice of materials. We only reviewed cock rings made with high-quality materials and those that depicted exceptional craftsmanship.
• Price & Value: The pricing varies greatly. Features like the material, size, design, and available features affect the asking price. For this reason, I ensured the selection’s prices included expensive luxury picks and beginner-friendly, budget models.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Stimulations (25%) and Design (25%). After that come Material (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Comfort (5%).

My colleagues returned with their findings after a successful 36-day testing exercise. I enlisted fellow sex educators Shane Davis and Rachel Sommer to help with the analysis, comparing each report with other user comments from sex toy review sites and forums. And after in-depth research and deliberation with my fellow sex experts, we believe these are the 10 best cock rings.

1. MysteryVibe Tenuto 2: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why We Love the MysteryVibe Tenuto 2:

Our testing department put dozens of products through weeks of trials, and Tenuto 2 stood out as the best cock ring after the dust settled. This is not a basic stretch ring with a small bullet motor. It is a medically inspired device built to help people with penises maintain firmer, longer-lasting erections while adding strong vibrations for partner play. Four independent motors target the penis and perineum with deep rumbles that keep blood flow steady and deliver consistent stimulation to both partners.

During testing, the Tenuto 2 was the product that showed the most measurable improvement for men dealing with erectile difficulties. Several testers, including our colleague Shane Davis, reported noticeably stronger erections and more control over timing. The fit is snug but flexible, and the vibrations stay steady for more than two hours on a full charge. On top of that, we measured sound levels between 37 and 47 decibels, making it one of the quietest high-powered rings we have tried.

Setup takes a little learning. As you can see in the image above, the four-button layout is not intuitive at first, and most testers preferred the free MysteryVibe app for control. The app allows you to create custom vibration patterns and adjust each motor separately, giving far more precision than any other ring we tested. However, once in place, the Tenuto 2 provides stimulation for the penis, perineum, and partner’s clitoris or labia, making it versatile for solo or partnered play.

The build quality is exceptional. Soft, medical-grade silicone covers malleable electronics that bend without losing shape. After repeated use, the material showed no stretching or wear. Battery performance exceeded the published specs in our tests, lasting well over the stated two hours on moderate settings. All of this explains the nearly $300 price tag. It is expensive, but the performance, durability, and ability to help with ED symptoms make it the best choice for people who want a ring that genuinely supports stronger erections and shared pleasure.

A Good Alternative: LELO TOR 3

LELO Tor 3 is a good option for people who want something with a smaller form factor. While we loved Tor 2 (review here), we pointed out some minor flaws in our review last year. The most critical issue was that the buttons were a bit difficult to reach during penetrative sex. That has now been solved with the addition of the excellent LELO smartphone app. The company also added a noticeably stronger motor and two additional settings, making the upgraded model almost perfect. Bravo, LELO!

Tor 3 especially performed well in our design testing, where it received the highest average rating of all products. Our testers highlighted that the all-silicone design has a smooth finish that improves the contact with skin, preventing blood loss during an erection, ultimately leading to prolonged boners. As you can see in the image below, the design looks masculine and fits most penis sizes.

You can read our complete review of LELO Tor 3 in this article.

Minor Issues We Found During Testing:

The Tenuto 2 takes time to learn. First-time users may need several tries to find the most comfortable position, and the buttons are hard to reach when the device is on. The opening is firm, so users with larger girths should take extra care when stretching it into place.

If you want to see what MysteryVibe Tenuto 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our full MysteryVibe Tenuto 2 review here.

Features:

• Four motors targeting the penis and the perineum
• App control with custom vibration patterns
• Medical-grade silicone, showerproof design
• USB rechargeable battery with long runtime

Pros:

• Best results for improving erection strength in our tests
• Quiet operation despite powerful vibration
• Durable build and long battery life
• Customizable patterns via smartphone app
• Enhances stimulation for both partners

Cons:

• High price compared to standard rings
• Learning curve for positioning and controls

2. Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O: Our Budget Pick!

Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O topped our budget category because it gave us the best value for our money. No other products we tested had such a great balance between price tag and quality. A big bonus is that it’s also recommended by E. L. Jamer, the erotic romance trilogy writer.

Besides its excellent value, it’s also very easy to use. “Sliding it over my shaft was less complicated than wearing a condom. It took just a second or two, and I didn’t need to douche my dick in water-based lube, as most people would recommend. I also felt no pinching, pubic hair pulling, or any other discomfort”, our tester Tim Larson summarized.

The ring also has a smooth-feeling finish that helps make better contact with the skin for efficient blood trapping in your penile muscles. Even with the stretchy material, Fifty S holds onto the base of your penis without giving in. You can see me demonstrate stretchiness and flexibility in the image above.

Something else that stood out from the other budget models was how effective Perfect O was. For such a simple aid, I was surprised at its effectiveness. It gave me the confidence to carry on with sex through multiple positions without the anxiety of going soft.

The simple yet effective size meant I could slide it into my coat’s inside pocket and pull it out anytime I needed it. I once pulled it out when we were about to have sex with Sandra on vacation, and all I could hear was, “You remembered to carry the ring?” She undoubtedly enjoyed the love-making sessions and is usually the one stuffing it in her handbag.

Fifty Shades of Grey’s all-silicone design means it’s submersible in water. So, if you fancy some drippy action in the shower or bath, the sex aid is always ready when you are.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The simple ring design means Perfect O doesn’t stimulate the receiving partner’s clitoris during sex. You might have to look elsewhere if you’re looking for a dual-stimulation toy.

If you want to see what Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our full Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O review here.

Features:

• Material: Medical-Grade Silicone
• Circumference: 5″

Pros:

• A budget-friendly cock ring.
• It promotes stronger and prolonged erections.
• Easy-to-use silicone ring.
• The stretchy design fits most sizes.
• Travel-friendly for frequent travelers and vacationers.
• It’s waterproof.

Cons:

• Perfect O can be too tight for the extra girthy folks.

3. Lovense Diamo: Best App-Controlled!

Why we love Lovense Diamo:

Lovense Diamo is perfect for long-distance couples or for those who want to try public play because it’s compatible with the excellent Lovense Remote app (our test winner), allowing you to regulate the vibrations from halfway across the world.

Besides simplifying long-distance control, the smartphone app opens your world to new possibilities, everything from unlimited vibration patterns to music sync and sound-activated rumbles. Even for people in close-range relationships, the app means you won’t disrupt the momentum during sex, leading to heightened arousal.

We also appreciated that the versatile design lets you use Diamo in multiple ways. Whether you want the tail to rest against the perineum, shaft, or towards your stomach, you can enjoy different wearing positions. The flexibility makes Diamo ideal for solo, public, and couple sex. In the image above, you can see me demonstrate Diamo on a dildo.

What about the material? Well, it’s 100% made with velvety smooth silicone, whose stretchy consistency means it can fit any size. In addition, the smooth finish prevents blood loss from the penis for more robust and prolonged erections.

Lovense Diamo has a powerful vibrating motor with up to 10 patterns and 3 speeds. With a convenient dedicated mobile app for simplified control, this Lovense sex toy is up there with the top-rated cock rings for long-distance couples.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Diamo is expensive. It costs $109 – $199, and not many people will be willing to spend that on a cock ring. Also, it might be too tight for people with massive cocks, especially if you use it over the penis and balls for perineum stimulation.

Finally, the testers reported that it wasn’t perfectly comfortable to use during penetrative sex as the large vibration pad sometimes got in the way. If that’s important for you, please check out We-Vibe Bond below.

If you want to see what Lovense Diamo looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Lovense Diamo review here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Diameter: 1.75″

Pros:

• It connects with the intuitive Lovense Remote app.
• The versatile design opens your world to new possibilities.
• Multiple vibration combinations.
• The flexible silicone ring fits most penis sizes.
• It’s bath and shower play-ready.

Cons:

• It’s pricey – $109 – $199.

4. We-Vibe Bond: Most Versatile!

Why we love We-Vibe Bond:

While we think Lovense Diamo is a better app-controlled penis ring, We-Vibe Bond is still a good cock ring, especially if you are already familiar with other We-Vibe products. It also fits more penis sizes because of its adjustable design.

We-Vibe Bond reminded me of the Moxie+ clitoral vibrator. Unlike other vibes, every change in setting was a new experience and not just an increase in the motor’s rpm. I used the penis ring numerous times alone and with my wife, and the wave of emotions cycling through the functions was exceptional.

Bond also has a wireless remote control for hassle-free public play (image above). The small controller fits in the palm and is also made from silky silicone, giving it a tactile feel that feels great on your hands.

My colleagues also appreciated the design with the soft silicone finish that makes it comfortable to wear for extended sessions. I constantly torment my wife with her panty vibrators, and she couldn’t be happier to take the driving seat.

Besides simplifying long-distance control, the intuitive mobile app opens your world to new possibilities. Some impressive features that excited my colleagues were the multi-toy control, unlimited customization, and the easy-to-use interface with a texting platform so you can schedule playtime with your partner.

We-Vibe Bond’s ergonomic shape means the vibrating motor lies directly on the perineum for swift rumbles’ transfer. And with up to 10 vibration settings, I certainly enjoyed reviewing this bad boy. More importantly, the well-curved body rests against your body and feels incredibly comfortable even when worn for extended periods.

We really appreciated the adjustable design with the Custom Fit link that lets you add to the original 1.38″ size (image above). I also found the adjustable mechanism easy to clip and unclip.

We also found that you can use Bond for clitoral stimulation. Our experienced female tester, Sandra Larson, gave it a shot, and the powerful vibrations injected sharp rumbles into her sweet spots. With a curved edge, she described it as an ideal choice for precise stimulation – “directing the vibrations to specific spots was easy with the rounded edge.”

Minor issues we found during testing:

The Custom Fit link might be a great way to make the penis ring a two-size option, but I thought it affected the overall stretchiness. We-Vibe Bond’s body is firmer than the previous two models and more unforgiving to the girthier guys.

In addition, the vibrations are more mellow and less punchy compared to other rings I reviewed. For this reason, the We-Vibe Bond is perfect for teasing and foreplay. So, you might have to look elsewhere if you’re looking for an all-out vibrations kind of cock ring.

If you want to see what We-Vibe Bond looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

If you want more details about this product, you can read our comprehensive We-Vibe Bond review.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Dimensions: 3.07″ x 1.73″ x 1.89″

Cons:

• The overall firm design might be uncomfortable for the extra girthy guys.
• It’s pricey – $103.20 – $129.

5. Lovehoney Bed Ringer: Best Dual Cock and Ball Ring!

Why we love Lovehoney Bed Ringer:

Lovehoney Bed Ringer was an exciting cock ring to review. The textured double cock ring has a sensual penis and ball ring design, allowing you to restrict blood in your manhood and tickle the testicles for intense dual stimulation.

But wait, there’s more! Bed Ringer also has a textured face with tiny clitoris-targeting numbs. The differently-sized nipples transfer strong vibrations to the receiving partner’s clitoris during sex, ultimately promoting intense dual sensations. Very nice design overall!

We especially appreciated that the designer used different sizes for the two rings, with the tighter one going over your penis and the larger one over the testicles. Besides enhancing efficiency, we found that different ring sizes ensure you don’t put too much pressure on your balls, which can be uncomfortable. In the image above, you can see how it looks used on a dildo.

Bed Ringer also has a robust vibrator with an impressive range of 12 vibration functions. You can regulate the rumbles with the single-button interface.

The Bed Ringer is very easy to put on and use. However, we recommend using some water-based lube to make the process easier. Then stretch the larger ring around your balls and the smaller ring at the shaft base. There’s also just one button to control everything, which received a high test score.

We also loved Bed Ringer’s versatility. “I enjoyed using it for solo masturbation, utilizing its powerful rumbles and easy-to-handle size. It induced confidence during sex because I wasn’t anxious about going soft, and I knew my wife would reap the benefits of intense clit stimulation, leaving my hands free to caress her boobs and ass during sex. I even used it with my Fleshlight sleeves, taking advantage of the enhanced sensitivity”, our tester Tim Larson wrote in the test report.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, Bed Ringer doesn’t have the acclimatization-type vibrations to build up to intense orgasms. Sandra felt all the settings were powerful and over the edge. We had to turn it off regularly during sex to avoid numbing the clitoris. When playing solo, she only used the ring to finish off, often preferring to start with a more ‘serene’ clit vibrator.

In addition, using the solo button can negatively affect the momentum. A wireless controller or a dedicated mobile app would have been better.

If you want to see what the Lovehoney Bed Ringer looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Lovehoney Bed Ringer review here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Diameter: 1.25″ – 2.25″ (small), 2″ – 3.5″ (large)

Pros:

• The highest-rated dual cock and ball ring. (You can find more cock and ball rings here.)
• Two rings for the penis and balls promote dual stimulation.
• Impressive 12 vibration functions.
• The textured landing pad enhances extra stimulation for the clit.
• It’s USB-rechargeable.
• Silicone is submersible and easy to clean.

Cons:

• The vibrations can numb your clitoris.
• A wireless control mechanism would have been better.

6. Lovehoney Ignite: Best For Dual Stimulation!

Why we love Lovehoney Ignite:

Lovehoney Ignite is the perfect cock ring for people who are after dual stimulation. It has a pair of forward-facing bunny ears that rest on your partner’s clitoris during sex so that every thrust comes laden with external stimulation.

During our testing, we found that it has a powerful vibrator on the top side, boasting a nice range of vibration combinations – 3 speeds and 17 patterns. Notably, the ring has an easy-to-use single-button interface that lets you cycle through the combinations.

The stretchy Ignite fits most sizes. I especially loved the cupped ring design with a dipped middle to reduce the tension on your penis. The build also enhances the efficiency as both ends of the shaft restrict blood flow, unlike the usual one end in the traditional rounded rings. In the image above, I demonstrate how the Ignite looks on a dildo.

Something else that stood out was the impressive battery life. The built-in battery churns out intense rumbles for 3 hours on a full charge. For this reason, you won’t need to keep charging it after every use – just once in a while, and you should be good.

My wife loved the Lovehoney Ignite. Unlike Lovehoney Bed Ringer, she could orgasm intensely without numbing the clitoris. I also loved the relatively powerful vibrations on my shaft and the snug fit that significantly restricted blood flow for extended sex sessions.

The simple design made it easy to slide Ignite over my shaft with just a little water-based lube. It was also easy to spin during use for close contact with Sandra’s clit, regardless of the sex position. It fit snugly and didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Besides its compact and discreet design, I loved Ignite’s elegant packaging (image above). It even came with a storage bag, which, coupled with the travel lock feature, makes it ideal for frequent travelers and vacationers.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Lovehoney Ignite’s single-button control interface can be problematic. Besides affecting the momentum, cycling through 20 settings if you accidentally skip a favorite can be annoying.

Lastly, those looking for more lifelike and intense sensations might have to look elsewhere. Lovehoney Ignite is an introductory sex toy for couples who are gradually transitioning from vanilla sex.

If you want to see what Lovehoney Ignite looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our Lovehoney Ignite review here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Dimensions: 4.8″ x 3.5″ x 2.2″

Pros:

• The ideal model for couples because of the rabbit ears.
• Powerful 20-function vibrator.
• The flexible design will fit most sizes.
• It’s USB-rechargeable and waterproof.
• The travel lock feature and storage bag make it travel-friendly.
• It’s a very quiet toy.

Cons:

• A single-button interface for a 20-function vibrator was a miss.
• Ignite can be too tight for the extra girthy guys.

7. Atom Plus Lux: Best For Perineum Stimulation!

Why we love Atom Plus Lux by Hot Octopuss:

Hot Octopuss Atom Plus Lux has been on this list for many years for one specific reason: it does a great job simulating the perineum area. With a dual-motor design, the perineum gets the vibrations as raw as can be while your partner’s clitoris receives as much love. What’s not to love!

Besides the two powerful motors, the 2^nd generation penis ring has a wireless remote controller (image below). The handheld controller simplifies the user experience, allowing you to cycle through the five vibration patterns and speeds without interrupting the momentum.

Atom Plus Lux has a 2.36″ diameter, making it a decent fit for most penis sizes. It felt comfortable even when worn for extended sessions. And unless you’re massively girthy, you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.

The 4-button control interface lets you explore the dynamic world of shaft and perineum stimulation during solo play or coupled sex. Luckily, the vibe mirrors the rumbles to your partner’s clitoris. And unlike most vibrating rings, Atom Plus Lux’s vibrations are significant; my wife loved the experience.

We found that the waterproof cock ring is perfect for teasing aquatic fun. However, the remote’s responsiveness drops when the toy is underwater, but it’s nothing we didn’t expect.

My wife praised the powerful vibrations, and she thought they covered a large surface area, significantly promoting broad clit stimulation. Atom Plus Lux also didn’t get in the way during the sex act; it felt comfortable in any sex position we tried. But she said the vibrations “felt extra punchy” in the cowgirl position.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Atom Plus Lux is relatively stiff, and stretching over the penis and balls can be challenging, especially for people with massive cocks. In addition, it’s pricey, and not everyone will afford $129.95 for a cock ring.

Unlike Ze Don Magnetic, Hot Octopuss Atom Plus Lux might not be ideal for people who want to use condoms with masturbators or when having sex. I had to use a different condom whenever I took it off mid-session.

If you want to see what Hot Octopuss Atom Plus Lux looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Please read our comprehensive Atom Plus Lux review if you want more details about this nifty cock ring.

Features:

• Material: Silicone & ABS Plastic
• Diameter: 2.36″
• Length: 4.72″

Pros:

• It’s made from velvety smooth silicone.
• The curved and dual-motor design promotes intense sensations.
• It has an extended topside for clitoral stimulation.
• The wireless remote control improves the user experience.
• Impressive 5 vibration patterns and speeds.

Cons:

• It’s pricey – $129.95.
• The vibrations are powerful and might be too much for people with sensitive cocks.

8. Firmtech Tech Ring: Best For Penile Health!

Why we love the Firmtech Tech Ring:

The Firmtech cock ring is the highest-rated cock ring for penile health among our review samples. It’s more of a Fitbit for the penis; a unique ring that monitors your performance through a mobile application, providing real-time figures to enhance your penile and erectile health.

Unlike other cock rings we reviewed, the Firmtech tech ring is worn during sex, when sleeping, or at any other time. To achieve this, it has a squishy material and an adjustable design, making it cozy even when worn for extended periods. You can see me demonstrating how it’s worn on a dildo in the image below.

Something else that stood out during the review was its effectiveness. The high-tech cock ring measures the penis’s firmness and the longevity of the erections. It also keeps track of the force of ejaculation and your nocturnal erections while sleeping, storing all the data on the FirmTech app (screenshots below). Overall, the futuristic penis ring is ideal for singles and couples interested in measuring the firmness of their erections to enhance sexual performance and longevity.

Further, the build quality was outstanding. Overall, it felt solid and well-put – I never worried about mishandling or dropping it throughout the testing phase. The thick ring appears durable, and the elastomer exterior feels incredibly smooth. More importantly, using the Firmtech is straightforward, thanks to the simple yet effective design. The straightforward build makes it easy to wear or remove the ring.

Besides the easy-to-use design that clasps gently over the shaft and balls, the mono-button interface further enhances the user experience. In addition, charging is super easy with the included charging station.

I was skeptical about the grasp (circled in the image below), but it held onto the shaft firmly, discouraging blood flow and promoting firmer and extended erections. Notably, I noted my cock was harder for longer when I used the futuristic ring. In addition, the Firmtech dick ring doesn’t get in the way during sex. It was no more distracting than any other penis ring.

Note: While I wouldn’t say the ring was as effective as traditional toys like the Fifty Shades of Grey Perfect O, it did the job nonetheless.

Lastly, Firmtech was dead silent, rendering it the perfect choice for sex toy users seeking a discreet experience.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, Firmtech is made from a medical-grade elastomer, an alternative to our preferred silicone. And while the elastomer is gentle, it has a subtle stickiness that’s more likely to grip and tag hairs, a rather uncomfortable experience.

The mobile application could use a little tweaking to make it more user-friendly. The FirmTech app has a clunky feel about it that can be annoying.

Lastly, it’s not as tight as other traditional models. The manufacturers should work out a way to create a tighter fit.

If you want to see what the FirmTech Tech Ring looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete FirmTech Tech Ring review here.

Features:

• Material: Medical-grade elastomer, hard plastic
• Diameter: 1.25″ – 2.25″ (small), 2″ – 3.5″ (large)

Pros:

• Intuitive FirmTech app.
• Easy-to-use design.
• The charging dock simplifies the charging experience.
• Futuristic sensors track your firmness.
• Minimalistic yet classy packaging.

Cons:

• Firmtech is not waterproof.
• It’s expensive – $275.

9. Luxus Couple Set: Best Couple Set!

Why We Love the Luxus Couple Set:

After testing a wide range of couples’ vibrators and cock rings, our team agreed that the Luxus Couple Set is the best option for shared pleasure. We picked it as our top couple set because it delivers consistent, synchronized stimulation without the drawbacks we often find in C-shaped designs. The package includes the LuxHer clitoral vibrator (image below) and the LuxHim cock ring. Magnetic sensors inside the devices increase vibration intensity with each thrust, creating a natural rhythm that matched our testers’ movements better than any other product we tried.

Comfort played a big part in our decision. Many couples toys press tightly around the vulva or create extra pressure during penetration, which can be painful for some users. The Luxus avoids these problems. The LuxHer rests externally and connects wirelessly to the ring, allowing partners to enjoy steady stimulation without added discomfort. This design also makes it a strong fit for couples who struggle with penetration pain or find that penetration alone does not reliably lead to orgasm.

The app integration sealed the deal. Using the FeelConnect app, we created custom vibration patterns, adjusted intensity on the fly, and even tested long-distance play. Manual controls work, but the app is much easier to manage in real time. We also liked that the LuxHer doubles as a finger vibrator with its included strap, adding flexibility for solo use. Battery life reached the promised five hours in our tests, and sound levels stayed between 37 and 52 decibels, which is pretty quiet for a dual-device setup.

Build quality and ease of care also influenced our ranking. The smooth silicone is body-safe and easy to clean, and the set comes with a storage bag for travel. Our testers found the cock ring slim and stretchy enough for a wide range of sizes. After repeated sessions, both devices held their charge and performed reliably. Taken together, comfort, motion-driven stimulation, versatile app features, and solid construction made the Luxus Couple Set stand out as the highest-rated couple set in our tests.

Minor Issues We Found During Testing:

The adhesive stickers (image above) for hands-free use only work on hairless skin, limiting that feature. The single-button manual controls are not intuitive, so the app is almost essential. Vibrations are lighter and buzzier than some may prefer.

If you want to see what the Luxus Couples Set looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Luxus Couple Set review here.

Features:

• Magnetic sensors that increase vibration intensity with movement
• App compatibility for remote control and custom patterns
• LuxHer clitoral vibrator with finger strap and adhesive stickers
• Slim, stretchy LuxHim cock ring made of body-safe silicone

Pros:

• Our clear choice as the top couple set for synchronized orgasms
• Comfortable design that avoids pressure from C-shaped vibrators
• Quiet operation and reliable five-hour battery life
• App provides flexible control and long-distance options
• Good value at about $149

Cons:

• Adhesive stickers require a hair-free surface
• Manual button controls are confusing without the app
• Vibrations are lighter than some users may prefer

Other Good Alternatives

The Fantasy C-Ringz Double Penetrator Vibrating Cock Ring is a cock ring that features a vibrating beaded dildo, allowing for double penetration. The device is remote-controlled, eliminating awkward fumbling for buttons and losing the moment. Aside from the extra stimulation it will give your partner, it’s a fully functioning cock ring that will help your erections with an extra-vibrating tingle.

Stay Hard Silicone Loop from Blush is the definition of one-size-fits-all because it features a lasso-style locking slide that moves up and down to accommodate any penis size. Something that stood out was the ease of use. Forget the other cock rings; you only need to press the sliding bead, pull the silicone strings, and release at the correct size. And with an all-silicone design, the stretchy ring feels incredible over the penis. It even has a quick-release feature for convenience.

RO-ZEN PRO 10 is a jack of all trades. The male sex toy features a butt plug cock ring combo, allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of stronger erections while getting your prostate massaged from the back. The two rings are stretchy enough to accommodate the penis and balls without discomfort. It also has a textured tubular connecting the cock ring with the butt plug, adding a bit of stimulation to the perineum. Not the most I’ve experienced, but enough to complement the prostate stimulation.

Ze Don Magnetic is the best metal cock ring for people looking to introduce temperature play to the bedroom. Even without soaking it in warm or cool water, it warms up to your body temperature within seconds for a more realistic experience. Something that stood out during the review was the ring’s weighted feel. The intimidating weight and smooth finish effectively halt blood flow for stronger and prolonged erections. We also liked the magnetized section that made it easy to put on the ring and promoted a custom fit. Ensure you’re careful not to trap your pubes when putting on the ring.

What Is A Cock Ring?

As the name suggests, a cock ring is a ring-like object made of different materials like silicon, metal, rubber, nylon, or plastic [1]. You wear it around the base of your penis to restrict blood flow, helping with erectile dysfunction for a harder and longer erection.

Types of Cock Rings

• Basic Cock Rings of Metal or Silicone: We decided to take it slow first since I didn’t want to overwhelm my husband. Hence, we bought a simple silicone cock ring that fits him well. It was easy to wear because it stretched and fit him perfectly, and we both agree that this is a good choice for beginners. They are also easy to clean.
• Couple/Vibrating Cock Ring: These are great for those who want a thrilling, more intense orgasm because of the vibrating motor that stimulates both the penis and the vagina. We both love ours because it simultaneously gives us penis and clitoral stimulation.
• Rings with Anal Inserts: These two-in-one c-rings effectively restrict blood flow in your penis while the anal plug stimulates the prostate. You can imagine all the sensations from your sexual organs to every single part of your body. Tim described it as a pleasurable torture device!
• Adjustable Cock Rings: Newbies will indeed find these types very convenient. They come with adjusters made of Velcro, D-rings, or a lasso to ensure they stay in place. They are especially good in that they can be removed quickly if you feel uncomfortable. You can read more about adjustable cock rings in this guide.

Are Cock Rings Safe?

Scared of trying cock rings? We don’t blame you at all. In the beginning, we were also hesitant to try it. However, we decided to go ahead, and it was one of the most intelligent decisions we ever made as a couple. Cock rings used correctly are safe.

You can ensure safety by looking for products made by reputable manufacturers. Another is to check the materials used. Always read the labels, especially if you’re allergic to specific materials. Lastly, read and follow the instructions that come with your product.

What To Look for When Buying a Product

Like with every other sex toy, there are a few factors you’ll have to consider before buying a cock ring. After all, the ring will be going over your penis and spending a substantial amount there. You don’t want to throw anything over one of your most important body parts. Do you? So, here are some of the important considerations to make:

Material

The two materials worth looking into are silicone and stainless steel. Silicone is more common than the latter because it’s flexible, soft to the touch, and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The beginner-friendly material is also easy to get on and off, and unlike stainless steel, it comes in multiple shapes and colors.

I recommend silicone, especially if you’re new to cock rings. Even if you don’t know your circumference, a silicone ring is much easier to use because of the stretchy material.

However, if you’re a more experienced user who knows the exact measurements, a stainless steel penis ring is a great way to get kinky and test your limits.

Pro Tip: While there might be cheaper materials, silicone and stainless steel are the preferred options. I especially like them because I can sterilize them with boiling water, and cleaning is effortless.

Size

More than any other sex toy, getting the right size is essential: too small or too big is a problem. I recommend that you start by measuring yourself. Yes! Get a soft tape and measure your erect circumference.

Ensure you pay attention to the base of your penis because that’s where the cock ring goes. You can then divide the measurements by 3.14 or use an online calculator to get the diameter to look for.

It becomes especially important depending on the material you go for. If you want a stretchy silicone penis ring, I recommend a slightly smaller one. So, if your erect penis has a 2.4″ diameter, you can pick a ring with a 2.1 – 2.3″ diameter.

However, if you’re going for a sturdy stainless steel ring, you must pick the exact fit to avoid injury. Luckily, most brands offer multiple sizes to ensure you get the right fit. If you’re still unsure, you can buy a silicone cock ring set with many different sizes.

We also have a comprehensive guide on how to measure for cock ring sizes.

Features

While the primary goal of a penis ring is to restrict blood flow from an erect dick, a few bells and whistles can amplify the excitement.

• For instance, some models feature a vibrating bullet to induce rumbles during sex so both partners can feel the vibrations (depending on the strength, of course).
• Other cock rings come with a textured hood to enhance the sensations by rubbing against your partner’s clitoris during sex.
• Some models, like the RO-ZEN PRO 10, even feature a vibrating butt plug to induce backdoor exploration.
• More advanced models like We-Vibe Bond have smartphone apps, perfect for long-distance relationships and public play.

Overall, these extra features add a new dimension of exploration, everything from the rumbles to the textured hood and multi-purpose designs. Some even come with a wireless remote control, making it easy to regulate the vibrations during sex – no need to pause the action.

So, pick a model with the most features and enjoy the product to the max.

Flexibility

Some cock rings feature a flexible design to simplify the experience and enhance comfort.

• For instance, the Ze Don stainless steel cock ring features a removable magnetized area that makes it easy to wear and take off.
• Similarly, the We-Vibe Bond features a snap-lock design to simplify wearing and taking off while making it more comfortable to wear for extended periods.

So, take note of the flexibility meter when picking the penis ring. Anyway, who doesn’t want a user-friendly sex toy?

Budget

How much are you planning to spend? Your budget helps narrow the search to specific models and dictates what features your penis ring might or might not have.

For instance, a vibrating penis ring is more expensive than a non-vibrating one. Right? Similarly, you’d expect to pay a little more for a multi-use penis ring with a butt plug. Wouldn’t you?

On average, penis rings are relatively cheaper than most other sex toys, probably because of their small size and straightforward mode of operation:

• You can get a good silicone model for less than $10.
• There are also numerous options in the $20 – $50 range.
• And for $50 – $100, you can get a top-tier, vibrating, and multi-use model.
• However, if you want a luxury top-of-the-food-chain model, you might have to cough up more than $100.

So, ensure you get good value for money. Most importantly, avoid the too-good-to-be-true deals because they might be.

How to Use a Cock Ring?

Once you’ve decided on a model, it’s time to learn how to use this highly pleasurable sex toy. So, these are the steps on how to put on a cock ring:

1. Make sure your penis is semi-erect before you put on the penis ring.
2. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the ring so it easily slides down the penis.
3. Then insert the ring slowly and place it gently at the base of the shaft.

Note: No silicone-based lubes on silicone products!

Note: Take it off immediately if you feel the slightest bit of discomfort, pain, or itchiness. Most importantly, never sleep with your c-ring on!

Before using a cock ring, make sure you have shaved down there. Pubic hair can easily get tangled with the ring, and you can imagine how painful and uncomfortable it is when you have your pubic hair pulled and plucked while having intercourse.

But what about positions? Well, my favorite sex positions when using a vibrating cock ring are missionary and cowgirl since they are well aligned with my partner’s pubic bone and clitoris. But pretty much any position will work.

Always clean your male sex toys before and after use. They typically come with a manual that includes the appropriate way to clean and store them. Follow the instructions, and you never have to worry about having dirty or broken erection rings. You can read more on how to wear a cock ring in this comprehensive guide.
