14 Best Cock Rings in 2024, REALLY Tested! [Video Reviews]

After testing dozens of products the highest-rated cock ring was LELO Tor 3. The beautifully crafted Tor 3 has a powerful vibrator that induces a wave of rumbles to the wearer and their partner during sex. The flexible silicone design did a great job fitting multiple penis sizes, while the intuitive interface was better than the other models we tested. Tor 3 is also incredibly quiet, making it perfect for discreet play.

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.
• The Size: Most products are made from super stretchy materials like 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 stimulations.
• Special Features. Cock rings have different capabilities – vibrations, smartphone apps, remote control, and stackability. The review panel 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 comes Material (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Comfort (5%).

My colleagues returned with their findings after a successful 36-day self-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 13 best cock rings.

1. LELO Tor 3: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love LELO Tor 3:

LELO Tor 3 is this year’s best cock ring! While we loved Tor 2 (review here), we pointed out some minor flaws in our review last year. The most critical issue was 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.

Moving on to the motor, which is located on the top side, covered with silky soft silicone material. Our team rated it as “Very Powerful” highlighting the 8 vibrating patterns, allowing you to crank the volume as high as you wish or enjoy mellow rumbles during sex or with your pocket pussy. We also appreciated the intuitive 2-button interface that significantly improves the user experience.

You can also download and install the free LELO app (from the Apple app store or the Google Play Store). “With the app, you can use a seamless Bluetooth connection to control the vibrations with a range of fun motions including twisting the phone, shaking the phone, and the boring mode by clicking the plus and minus buttons on the LELO app’s interface”, our tester Shane Davis wrote in his test report. In the image below, you can see screenshots from the LELO app.

We were amazed at how forgiving the silicone material was. Even with a 1.1″ diameter, Tor 3 stretches with minimal effort, meaning even the extra girthy guys will enjoy the benefits of extended erections. Overall, we thought it did a better job fitting more sizes than the other products on this list, which is critical to ensure it’s inclusive. In the image above, you can see me demonstrate it on a dildo.

In addition, LELO Tor 3 has a compact and discreet design, allowing you to slide it into your travel bag and enjoy stronger and extended erections while on the move. It even has a travel lock feature to prevent unwanted buzz.

The USB-rechargeable toy has an impressive battery life with up to 120 minutes of uninterrupted rumbles on a full charge. It’s also waterproof, meaning you can enjoy explosive self-pleasuring or coupled sex in the shower or bath.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Tor 3 is not silent at full power. A person in the next room will most likely hear what’s going on if you are using it during foreplay or for a solo session. But the sound is no longer an issue when it’s sandwiched between two bodies.

In addition, the tightness was close to the limit I would be comfortable with. My penis is around 6.5″ – 7″ with a reasonable thickness, but TOR 3 may be too tight if you’re super thick.

Why LELO Tor 3 is the most effective cock ring:

LELO Tor 3 got the highest overall ratings in the most critical areas, making it the best vibrating cock ring in our review. Let’s look at the raw test data to see all the details:

• Stimulations: TOR 3 had the second most powerful vibrations, only beaten by Lovense Diamo below. Although the thrusting motion significantly overshadowed the rumbles during the sex act, LELO Tor 3 left a mark, winning our hearts as the perfect choice for solo play and coupled sex.
• Ease Of Use: Something else that stood out was how easy it was to put on Tor 3 (Average rating: 94%). It slid on without resistance, only needing a little stretching toward the base. Conversely, taking it off was trickier. My hack was to sprinkle the shaft with the water-based lube and stretch the ring as I slowly eased it out.
• Settings: The testers also singled out LELO Tor 3’s powerful vibrator, highlighting how the 8 functions made it ideal for most users. “The multi-speed vibrator lets you customize the rumbles to your liking,” our tester Tim Larson commented.
• Comfort: The testers reported that Tor 3 was the most comfortable to use during penetrative sex, winning this critical test category in a landslide (Average rating: 95%). The product has no chunky pieces that get in the way, and sometimes you won’t even notice it’s there.
• Design: Tor 3 is definitely the most giftable cock ring we tested. Everything from the outstanding packaging and overall presentation to the luxurious, masculine design was better than the competition.
• Sizes: The test team reported that Tor 3 was very accommodating for different cock sizes. They felt that some other products, like Diamo, were more designed for average penis sizes. So Tor 3 is better if you have a micro penis or are slightly above average.

If you want to see what LELO Tor 3 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

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.

Why Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O is  our budget pick:

• Price & Value: Probably the lowest you’ll ever spend on a sex aid that’s not one-time use, Perfect O’s $9.99 price is the most affordable we reviewed.
• Design: The silicone-made ring excited my colleagues, especially with its simple and easy-to-use design. It’s also travel-friendly and easy to store. With a stretchy silicone build, it’ll fit most sizes.

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:

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: 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.

Why Lovense Diamo is the best Bluetooth cock ring:

• Special Features: Diamo connects with the Lovense Remote app, making it easy for your partner to regulate multiple vibration combinations worldwide. The reviewers ranked the Lovense app higher than the competition because it’s more feature-rich, less glitchy, and easier to use.
• Design: Other impressive features include the versatile design that supports different wearing positions. However, the reviewers felt it was slightly less inclusive of non-average sizes, knocking a few points off the overall rating.
• Stimulations: This was an area where Diamo really shined. The testers reported it had the strongest vibrations of all the models we tested. So if power is important to you, definitely buy Diamo!

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 Model!

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 loved the design with the soft silicone finish that makes it comfortable to wear for extended sessions. I constantly torment Sandra 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 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.

Why We-Vibe Bond is the most versatile cock ring:

• Ease Of Use: Something that stood out during the self-testing exercise was its ease of use. The Custom Fit link makes it easy to put on and take off. Plus, it adds more inches to the circumference to fit multiple sizes. Overall, we ranked it top 3 for ease of use.
• Special Features: Our testers reported that the We-Connect app was slightly glitchy and had some connectivity issues. In addition, it’s not as feature-rich as Lovense’s app. But it’s still a good option for long-distance fun.
• Comfort: The reviewers appreciated the body-hugging design that makes Bond perfect for public play. It was also more comfortable than Diamo during partnered sex, so get Bond if this particular use case is important for you. (Average score: 92%)

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: 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 cock and ball ring design, allowing you to restrict blood in your penis and tickle the balls 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 dick and the larger one over the testicles. Besides enhancing efficiency, we found that different cock 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. And you can regulate the rumbles with the single-button interface.

Bed Ringer Cock Ring is effortless 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 aspect. “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.

Why Lovehoney Bed Ringer is the best cock and ball ring:

• Design: The flexibility that makes the two rings perfect for the job was much better than the competition, winning this critical test criterion with an average score of 91%. They clamp the penis and testicles tightly without feeling uncomfortable.
• Stimulations: The multiple vibration functions coupled with the textured landing pad for clitoral stimulation made Bed Ringer outstanding for couples.
• Material: The testers also loved that the USB-rechargeable penis ring was made from silicone making it submersible and easy to clean.

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:

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: For Dual Stimulations!

Why we love Lovehoney Ignite:

Lovehoney Ignite is the perfect cock ring for people 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 restricts 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.

Sandra loved the Lovehoney Ignite. Unlike Lovehoney Bed Ringer, she could cum 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 but 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 gradually transitioning from vanilla sex.

Why Lovehoney Ignite is the most effective rabbit cock ring:

With a flexible silicone design, compact build, and the possibility to please both partners, the totally waterproof penis ring is ideal for most people looking to spice up their sex life. Let’s look at the test report to see what else made us motivate the decision:

• Stimulations: The reviewers loved Ignite’s rabbit ear. Unlike the conventional textured pad, the flexible ears are easier to manipulate for precise and targeted stimulation.
• Battery Life & Charging: We also loved the amazing battery life that allows you to carry on without interruptions for 3 hours, much longer than comparable products; hence Ignite firmly won the battery life and charging category.

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: For Perineum Stimulations!

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 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 – Sandra loved the experience.

The waterproof cock ring is perfect for teasing aquatic fun. The remote’s responsiveness drops when the toy is underwater, but it’s nothing we didn’t over.

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 most people will afford $129.95 for a cock ring.

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

Why Atom Plus Lux is our favorite for perineum stimulation:

• Stimulations: Atom Plus Lux’s extended and dual-motor design makes it perfect for perineum stimulation, winning this category with an average score of 89%. The bottom edge rests on the perineum, and with a powerful motor dedicated to the course, the rumbles travel far and wide.
• Versatility: My colleagues loved the ring’s wireless remote control, which significantly simplifies handling, and the waterproof design that opens your world to new possibilities.

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: Great 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. Luckily, 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’ firmness and erections’ longevity. 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.

Why Firmtech Tech Ring is the best for penile health:

• Build Quality: Firmtech’s build quality stood out (no penile ring came close). Even without the silicone material, the designers paid attention to detail with the lightweight build and easy-to-use design. Anyone can use the dick ring, and it doesn’t get in the way during sex, either.
• Special Features: The futuristic ring’s compatibility with the FirmTech app was the highlight of the review.

9. Ze Don Magnetic: For Heavy-Metal Fans!

Why we love Ze Don Magnetic:

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 loved 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.

Ze Don Magnetic is available in four sizes, which was a genius move, considering the firm stainless-steel design doesn’t stretch to accommodate different penis sizes like silicone.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unlike silicone and other flexible materials, Ze Don doesn’t stretch to accommodate different sizes. And even with the variety, you must get the size right – too small or exceedingly big won’t work.

Why Ze Don Magnetic is our preferred metal cock ring:

While metal cock rings can’t compete with silicone rings in most areas, there’s still a niche market for these types of products. Let’s see what key decision-making factors Ze Don Magnetic performed well in:

• Ease of Use: The metal ring has a detachable section that makes it easy to slide on and out, making it an excellent choice if you’re having issues putting on a traditional cock ring or want to use a condom during penetrative sex.
• Versatility: It’s available in four sizes, allowing you to pick the exact model to fit your ball stretching needs. Like other metal sex toys, there aren’t restrictions on your lubricant choice – you can use any!

Features:

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Circumference: 14.18″ – 20.08″

Pros:

• A magnetized section makes it easy to put it on and take off.
• It’s temperature-responsive.
• The weighted stainless steel feels incredible.
• You can use it with any lube.
• It’s available in multiple sizes.

Cons:

• Pubes’ trapping and skin pinching from the magnetized section can be painful.

10. RO-ZEN PRO 10: Great Butt Plug Combo!

Why we love RO-ZEN PRO 10:

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.

Notably, the butt plug has a bulbous body and tapered tip, promoting an exciting feeling of fullness and simplifying penetration. I also liked the slight upward curve that made it easy to target the prostate. I’ve used multiple butt plugs over the years, and this combo stood out in precision and overall experience.

Something else that stood out was the bullet vibrator on the butt plug. The 10-function vibe adds a series of much-needed rumbles to the experience, making anal stimulation more exciting. The feeling of vibrations traversing through the plug’s body to the angled tip was intense. And especially with the bulbous body – it felt like it was about to explode inside.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, you can only control the butt plug’s vibrating bullet via a single button. Unlike with a wireless controller, the old-fashioned interface means you have to slow the momentum whenever you want to regulate the vibrations.

Why RO-ZEN PRO 10 is the top cock ring/butt plug combo:

The male testers were excited to test this double-penetration cock ring. In the end, they praised the 10 vibration functions, textured perineum stimulator, and silky-smooth silicone finish. In addition, it performed well in these test criteria:

• Design: The dynamic design with a cock and balls ring limits blood flow for more robust, long-standing erections.
• Stimulations: We also loved the bulbous butt plug, whose angled design and tapered head enhanced prostate stimulation and simplified insertion.

You can find more double penetration cock ring products in this review article.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Length: 6″
• Insertable Length: 5″

Pros:

• Cock and ball ring combo for maximum efficiency.
• The all-silicone design means it’s submersible.
• Powerful vibrator with 10 functions.
• An angled design for precise P-spot stimulation.
• The bulbous butt plug feels incredible.

Cons:

• A wireless remote control would have been better.
• The butt plug takes some getting used to. It doesn’t stay intact.

11. Stay Hard Silicone Loop: Great Adjustable Model!

Why we love Stay Hard Silicone Loop:

Stay Hard Silicone Loop 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.

The one size fits all design means you can use it on the penis alone or over the balls, depending on your desires. In addition, the all-silicone build makes cleaning easy, and for the bath and shower play fans, you can explore aquatic fun anytime.

Lastly, Stay Hard is relatively affordable and an excellent choice for beginners and intermediate users looking to add a cheap yet effective sex aid to their collection.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Some reviewers pointed out that it can be slightly uncomfortable around the sliding bead. I personally didn’t experience this minor flaw, but I understand the concerns, especially for people looking to use the penis loop for extended sessions. The locking mechanism can be hard pressing.

Why Stay Hard Silicone Loop is the top adjustable cock ring:

With affordable pricing, a quick-release valve, and high-tensile silicone, the Stay Hard Silicone Loop is an incredible choice for every penis owner. It also beat the competition in the following critical areas:

• Design: The ‘open’ design lets you customize the fit to your desired size. And with a lasso-style locking slide, you can go as big or as small as you like.
• Ease of Use: My colleagues loved its easy-to-use design that makes Stay Hard foolproof, winning this critical category with an average score of 96%

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Size: One Size Fits All

Pros:

• The most adjustable cock ring.
• Lasso-style locking slide is foolproof.
• The firm silicone loops are secure.
• It’s cheap – $8.91.
• Quick-release valve for convenience.
• Easy to use and clean.

Cons:

• The locking mechanism can be uncomfortable, especially when the silicone loop is overly tight.

12. Father of Pearl: Most Luxury Design!

Why we love Father of Pearl:

If you’re looking for luxury, nothing beats Father of Pearl. The organic gem is made with natural Abalone Sea Shells, a rigid and colorful material. The large pieces of the unique sea shell are available in multiple swirled colors. I loved the design with the shell wrapping the ring’s curvature, giving it a glorious shine.

The designers also used crystal clear resin to protect the Abalone Shell and give the C-ring a smooth finish. The testers loved the luxury look.

I especially loved that the ring was available in 8 sizes to ensure there was something for everyone. Plus, the eight models had a 2mm difference, making it easy to settle on the right size. I thought the variety was an incredible feature because the firm design doesn’t give in like silicone rings, and you must pick a size that matches your penis’ dimensions.

Father of Pearl is available in two styles – achromic and midnight. I was fortunate enough to try both, and the beautiful reflection, especially when I stroll by the backyard pool naked, gets Sandra excited every time.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Like other metal cock rings, Father of Pearl’s sturdy material is unforgiving. Ensure you measure your erect penis before purchasing the ring.

Why Father of Pearl has the most luxurious design:

Let’s answer the most important question first: Yes, it’s beautiful. Very beautiful. I don’t think it’s possible to find a more gorgeous cock ring than Father Pearl. But due to the $350 price tag, it’s ranked last in the Price & Value category (Average score: 24%). However, we still believe there’s a market for Father Pearl in the luxury and premium segment where the price is less important. Let’s see what the review reports said:

• Design: Father Pearl handily won the design category with an impressive 97% average score. The reviewers loved the glowing Abalone Sea shell look, with the unique color combinations that reflect light for a perfect glow.
• Size: With up to eight different sizes and two styles, the gentle giant is ideal for all users with impeccable taste.

Features:

• Material: Natural Abalone Sea Shell, Tungsten Carbide
• Band Thickness: 0.24″ – 0.26″
• Diameter: 1.73″ – 2.28″

Pros:

• Colorful Abalone Sea shells.
• The transparent resin gives it a soft feel.
• It’s available in eight sizes.
• Two colorful styles to choose from.

Cons:

• The rigid material can be unforgiving for people with sensitive cocks.

Other Good Alternatives

Ohnut Intimate is a penetration buffer ideal for people with sensitive cocks because it’s not as tight as other cock rings. The test panel loved that the four soft rings could be easily removed and connected back—you can use as many or as few rings as you wish. And for people with endometriosis and other conditions that make intercourse uncomfortable, these rings can help reduce pain during sex by controlling the penetration depth.

We-Vibe Verge is another app-controlled cock-ring. The vibrating ring has more than 10 modes, allowing you to customize the rumbles easily. And with a dynamic design that lets you stimulate the perineum for explosive solo play or your partner’s clitoris during sex for dual stimulation, We-Vibe Verge is the most beginner-friendly model.

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 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 Tim. Hence we bought a simple silicone cock ring that fit him well. It was easy to wear because it stretched and fit him perfectly, and we both agree 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 vagina owner. 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 cock rings very convenient. They come with adjusters made of Velcro, D-rings, or lasso to ensure it stays in place. They can be adjusted based on the restriction level you want. And if you feel uncomfortable, you can remove these sex toys instantly. 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 go with your penis ring.

This article has excellent information on how to select the right penis ring size.

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 penis’ 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 are both a problem. I recommend that you start by measuring yourself. Yes! Get a soft tape and measure your erect penis’ 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 especially becomes more 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 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.
