Adorn Your Dick: How to Put on a Cock Ring

You've got a lot of choices when it comes to cock rings, and if you're just starting out, we recommend picking something made from stretchy material like silicone. Silicone cock rings are very stretchy, and you will likely experience slight pressure for slight blood flow constriction. More rigid metal will be a more intense sensation but is only recommended for experienced users. 

Cock rings can be worn around the shaft and balls. Still, we recommend that newbies start placing their rings directly at the base because it is most straightforward to put them on without hurting themselves and be highly effective. Your cock ring should fit nicely and tight, but it should never hurt. 

Next up is lube – apply some lubricant to your penis, balls, and the inner part of the ring before placing it on your flaccid or semi-erect penis. Last but not least: where exactly should this thing go? Most rings are designed to be worn either at the base of the penis or around both testicles and penile shafts. 

Generally, it is recommended to keep a cock ring on for no more than 20-30 minutes. This is because the blood flow restriction in your cock can be harmful if worn over a long period, like when you wear tight rubber bands around your fingers; it may become painful after prolonged use.

How to Put on a Cock Step-by-Step Guide

•  Prep your junk. Trimming your pubs is optional but can help prevent any mean tugging. Next, perk yourself up! Cock rings are easier to put on if you are semi-erect. That said, stretchy materials can be placed over the penis when flaccid, semi-erect, or during an erection. Experiment and see which you prefer!
• Lube up. Apply lube on your penis and balls so the cock ring will slide on easily. Make sure your lubricant is compatible with your ring. Using a water-based lube is always a safe bet.
• It's all about location, location, location, baby. If you're new to cock rings, slide the ring down to the base of the shaft. Take a few moments to get attuned to the sensation. If you are wearing a condom, put the cock ring on first to avoid tearing the condom. Once your ring is secure, and your penis is fully erect, you can roll on the barrier. 

If you want to wear the ring around the base of the shaft and balls, begin with pulling the loose skin of your scrotum through, gently tuck one testicle through, followed by the other, and then push your penis through. If you are wearing a rigid material like metal, do this when you're flaccid (soft).

• Time to get down. Now that your ring is comfortable, it's time to get saucy! Cock rings feel amazing during oral sex, hand jobs, and penetrative sex.
• Take off your ring. When the penis is soft, the cock ring will slide off easily with some lube. Often people will wait until they have ejaculated or become less hard before they remove the ring. But you can remove the ring if you are still hard, and you should do so if you begin experiencing discomfort. Just apply some lube and slowly roll the ring back up the shaft. Should never feel pain while wearing a ring.

Safety tip #punintended: If you begin experiencing discomfort or the skin becomes darker or bluish, remove the ring immediately and allow the blood flow to return to full flow before wearing it again. If this happens again, you may need a larger or more stretchy ring. However, you don't want to compromise your bloody supply; safety first, folks!
