You’re probably here to find information on how to make a homemade cock ring, so my answer will probably surprise you: ABSOLUTELY DON’T DO IT! You can buy a quality product, like Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect-O, for $9.99 at Lovehoney (detailed review here.) Creating your own DIY cock ring comes with enormous risks and is not worth it since you can grab one for cheap anywhere.
The only reason to make a homemade penis ring is if you live in an area without online adult retailers or walk-in sex shops. If you’re one of those, you can find some ideas below. But you do it at your own risk!

Are Homemade Cock Rings Safe?
Homemade cock rings are not safe; you can accidentally cut off the penis blood supply if you make them too tight. But if you decide to go ahead at your own risk, some things to keep in mind are not wearing it for longer than 30 minutes and removing it immediately if it feels painful or if you notice your penis getting exceptionally red or blue-hued.
Semi-Safe Homemade Cock Ring Ideas
Here are some cock ring ideas that are relatively safe. Again, I recommend you not try them and instead buy the super cheap Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect-O for $9.99 at Lovehoney (image below) or another model from my cock ring guide. The risk is just too high!
1. Hair scrunchie Cock Ring
Hair scrunchies or hair bands are a better alternative to a rubberband cock ring when making homemade rings because they tend to be less elastic and made from a softer material.
Depending on the length of the hair band or scrunchie you’re using, continue wrapping it around the base of your cock until you run out of room. The scrunchie should feel snug around your junk but don’t wrap it up too tight, or it could be difficult to remove afterward.
2. Condom Cock Ring
A condom cock ring is one of the easier options listed in this article and is ideal for folks who aren’t thrilled at the idea of putting foreign objects on their family jewels.
To make your own cock ring from a condom, you have two options:
- The first is cutting a piece from the inner circle of a rubber and using that as a cock ring. This is an easy choice as the condom is already pre-lubricated and made to fit comfortably on a penis. Just make sure you cut the section thick enough to remove it easily after sex.
- If you feel the previous option isn’t right for your penis size, you also have the option of wrapping the condom around the base of your penis and tying it, ideally before your member is hard. When tying it, the condom should feel tight but not constricting.
3. Plumber Cock ring
These can be found at any plumbing and hardware store and are simple metal and rubber rings of varying sizes that double well as a homemade dick ring.
If you want to recreate a metal penis ring at home, plumber rings are probably your best bet. But be warned, when using a material like metal that is super rigid and near impossible to cut through, the sizing needs to be perfect. Anyone new to using cock rings should start with plastic, which is more forgiving.
Once you’ve found your perfect fit using our pro sizing instructions, apply a generous amount of lube, and you’re off to the races.
4. Rubber Cock ring
At your local hardware store, you should be able to find many rubber rings that vary in terms of elasticity, size, and thickness. Unlike rubber bands, these rings won’t be magnets for your pubic hair or so elastic that they’re uncomfortable to use.
Using a rubber ring will allow you to experiment with what style of ring feels best for you. Simple changes in your ring’s elasticity level can offer unique sensations. Or you might consider using a thick rubber ring, which can further reduce blood flow back into the body.
5. Inner bike tube
An inner tube is a balloon-like tube that holds air in your bike’s tires. They’re decent materials for homemade cock rings because they’re pre-made in a cylindrical shape. All you have to do is find the ideal size for your member and cut a ring to your desired width.
It’s also worth mentioning that you can use a single tube for multiple rings, so those looking for a budget-friendly option are encouraged to give this DIY penis ring a try.
6. Bungee cord
Another option for putting together a makeshift cock ring is to use a bungee cord. The material works surprisingly well thanks to being flexible, soft, and found in varying thicknesses.
To make a cock ring using a bungee cord, cut the bungee cord to your desired length and then glue the two ends together, ideally using superglue or something similar. Remember that bungee material is quite elastic, so you don’t want your design to be too small.
4 Items You Should NEVER Use As A Homemade Cock Ring:

After creating your own cock ring, it’s time to start using it to infuse more pleasure into your sex life. Here are some steps on how to get started:
- Start by shaving to limit the amount of pubic hair your dick ring can get snagged on.
- Ensure your penis is semi-erect but not fully hard before putting it on.
- For plastic cock rings, use a generous amount of water-based lube to help it glide down your shaft.
- Gently slide the ring down your cock until it rests at the base of the shaft.

Safety Tips
Using homemade cock rings vs. something storebought does come with high risks. Using the following guidelines will help to ensure that your experience with homemade cock rings is a pleasant one and prevent any potential damage to your precious cargo.
Pay attention to the color of your penis
It’s normal for your penis to look redder and veinier than usual. But if at any point, your penis becomes exceptionally red or has a blue hue, it’s time to cut the fun short.
Avoid using numbing creams
Using products like lidocaine can indeed help you last longer. But using them in conjunction with a penis ring can leave you unaware of painful sensations caused by a cock ring that’s too tight.
If you have fears surrounding using a homemade cock ring, keeping a pair of BDSM scissors on hand can help to ease your mind. Don’t be afraid to contact a healthcare professional if pain persists in your penis for 30+ minutes after removing your dick ring.
