Penis rings, also known as cock rings, erection rings, couples rings, and love rings, are circular sex toys that squeeze a man's penis to help him have longer-lasting and firmer erection by keeping the blood in the shaft of the penis. Penis rings that go around the testicles (testicle cuffs) also prolong sex by keeping the testicles from pulling into a male's body when he is about to ejaculate.

They are also helpful in addressing erectile dysfunction (E.D.). If you have E.D. make sure to see more about specific sexual products that help with E.D. through our Sex Toys For Erectile Dysfunction Guide as there are a great deal of clever sex toys that can make things easier for you.

Erection rings designed for the penis can also be put on dildos, especially if they are vibrating penis rings to provide additional stimulation much like rabbit vibrators. Some rings have clitoral and/or stimulators in them, from added textures to vibrators. To learn more about penis rings, make sure to see our Penis Rings Guide.

How to Measure A Penis For A Penis Ring

Penis rings are measured by diameter or circumference at the base of the shaft of a man's penis while he is erect. For measurements around the testicles, again, it is best measured while a man is erect and done around the base of the testicles.

Most penis rings are adjustable or stretch, so exact measurements are typically not as important an issue unless the penis ring is made from a non-adjustable or stretchy substance such as metal. We recommend always choosing a penis ring that you can easily remove. For that reason, we only sell penis rings that are easy to take off.

To measure for a penis ring, you will measure at the base of the penis. For testicle cuffs, also known as testicle rings, you will measure around the base of the penis and under the testicles as close as you can to your body.

Tips for Measuring A Penis Ring

  • You should always measure yourself when you are erect.

  • If you do not have a flexible tape measure, you can use a string or thread and then measure it on a ruler.

  • Wrap a tape measure around the base of the shaft to get your circumference.

  • For penis rings that go around both the shaft and testicles, measure around both the penis & testicles to get your circumference closely to the body.

  • If a measurement of a penis ring is in diameter, you need to divide the circumference measurement you take of your penis by 3.14 to get the measurement for the diameter.

  • For example, if your penis' circumference is six inches, you would need a cock ring with a diameter smaller than 1.91 inches in diameter.
