Everything You Need to Know About Penis Rings
Penis rings, also known as cock rings, encircle the penis (and sometimes the testicles too) with the goal of restricting blood flow from the penis. This can mean longer erections and different sensations during sex and masturbation.
Do penis rings fit everybody?
As penis rings are made from a flexible, elastic material, they are usually quite versatile in how the fit.
For example, Pivot by We-Vibe is made from medical grade silicone and is therefore suitable for most penises of varying shapes and sizes. The unstretched interior ring of the Pivot penis ring measures horizontally at 26mm and can stretch up to 78 mm.
How do I put on a penis ring?
It is recommended to only put a penis ring on once you’re already aroused. When wearing a condom, the condom goes on first, then the penis ring over the top.
To help make putting the penis ring on easier, we suggest using a lubricant so that the penis ring can slide all the way down to the base of the erect penis.
Some rings can fit either way, while others like Pivot by We-Vibe have a specifically flat surface that is supposed to rest against your body.
What is the difference between We-Vibe's penis rings?
We-Vibe has two penis rings available, each with a different design and purpose. Pivot by We-Vibe is designed to be worn around the base of the penis, restricts blood flow and provides hands-free stimulation of the clitoris too.
In contrast, Verge by We-Vibe is worn around both the penis and testicles, and gently stimulates the perineum during sex and masturbation. Both feature rumbling vibrations for extra excitement and can be controlled via the We-Vibe App.
How long can I wear a penis ring?
There is an important safety measure to remember when using penis rings. As blood flow is affected, We-Vibe does not recommend wearing the ring for longer than 30 minutes per use. If you plan to use the toy again within the same day, allow at least 60 minutes between uses.
