Things to consider before you buy a cock ring
The first thing you need to consider when shopping for cock rings is your reason for using one.
For example, you might want to:
- help erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE)
- have firmer, longer lasting boners
- delay or intensify orgasm
It isn’t always about the penis, though. Some cock rings are tricked out with extra features to take partnered sex or solo play to another level. Think: vibration, pleasure nubs, and taint teasers. Oh my!
Fit is a key consideration, too, since one that’s too big won’t have the desired effect, and one that’s too tight can do some serious damage down there. A cock ring should have a snug but comfortable fit that doesn’t cause you or a partner discomfort.
And speaking of comfort, you’ll want to put some thought into the material the ring’s made of. Your ring should be made from a quality, body-safe material that won’t break or snag.
Budget’s another consideration, though you don’t need a lot of money to find a quality ring. That said, cock rings can top $100, depending on the brand, materials, and any bells and whistles.
Healthline’s picks for the best cock rings
Best cock rings for erectile dysfunction
ED is the inability to get or keep an erection hard long enough to have satisfactory penetrative sex. (Note that “satisfactory” means different things to different people and their partners.)
To get and maintain an erection, blood needs to be able to flow into the penis and be prevented from flowing back out.
“This is usually done automatically by arteries bringing blood pressure into the penis and venules closing in order to prevent blood from exiting the penis,” explains urologist Lamia Gabal, MD, founder and president of Prestige Medical Group in Southern California.
Lifestyle changes and treatments, from medications to shockwave therapy, can help ED. Cock rings — medically referred to as constriction rings or penile occlusion bands — can also prevent blood flow from exiting an erection.
When choosing a ring for ED — or any other reason, for that matter – most experts recommend one that’s flexible, stretchy, and adjustable.
“This means that the band can be tightened initially but will stretch as blood flow comes into the penis” says Gabal.
Giddy Eddie

- Material: Medical-grade, multilayer polycarbonate/ABS alloy with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) coating
- Dimensions: Four sizes from 0-4, 1/16 inches to 5 5/16 inches diameter
Price: $$$
“This cock ring/medical device is built more for comfort and practicality than for show,” says Caitlin V. Neal, MPH, resident sexologist for sexual hygiene company Royal.
“And at the price of over $100 for one, it’s best for [those] who struggle with keeping an erection after they’ve gotten one.”
She continues: “This product’s unique shape allows it to prevent blood flow from exiting the penis (thus causing the loss of an erection) without preventing blood from entering the penis. Its open bottom prevents it from putting pressure on the dorsal vein or the urethra, which users may find more comfortable than traditional, perfectly round rings.”
Nasstoys Adjustable Silicone Penis Tie
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Nasstoys-Adjustable-Silicone-Penis-Tie.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Silicone
- Dimensions: 4.5 inches (adjustable)
Price: $
This adjustable penis ring can accommodate most sizes. It’s flexible and can be adjusted as needed with the press of a button, which is why Gabal recommends this and similar products.
It can also be super easy on the budget.
Best cock rings for premature ejaculation or stamina
The jury’s still out on whether cock rings can improve PE or allow you to last longer in bed. There’s no clinical evidence to back this, but plenty of people — experts included — say a ring might help some delay orgasm.
Here are two that, according to reviews, people have enjoyed some lasting power with.
Phanxy Silicone Cock Ring
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Phanxy-Silicone-Cock-Ring.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Silicone
- Dimensions: 0.86 inch
Price: $
This stretchy silicone ring’s pretty basic in design, but several reviewers say that along with harder and longer lasting erections, the ring also helps them delay orgasm.
It’s thicker than typical cock rings and some reviews suggest that the extra real estate it takes up reduces sensation, which could explain why some users last longer.
Dr. Joel Kaplan Support Master Triple Smooth
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Dr.-Joel-Kaplan-Support-Master-Triple-Smooth.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Thermoplastic rubber
- Dimensions: 2.5 inches
Price: $
With three smooth, pliable rings and scrotum support, this design lies between a C-ring and sleeve that can help keep you hard and delay orgasm.
It works for solo and partnered fun for first timers and seasoned ring users.
Best cock rings for added sensation
There are cock rings that add sensation by way of special materials, attachments, and vibrations for cock and ball stim, temperature play, and pressure play for the wearer’s pleasure. But wait — that’s not all!
Some are also geared to couple play so the partner gets a cut of the action, too.
DOMINIX Deluxe 1.9 Inch Stainless Steel Donut Cock Ring
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-DOMINIX-Deluxe-1.9-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Donut-Cock-Ring.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Stainless steel
- Dimensions: 1.9 inches
Price: $$
“Nothing beats stainless steel for its ability to create sensation,” says Neal.
“It’s heavy, smooth, and will really create a lot of sensation once there’s an erection because of the strength of the steel against your body,” she explains. “The weight alone is a huge turn on for many.”
It can also be heated or cooled for temperature play.
The ring offers a lot of tug and pull once you slide this 6.2-ounce beast over your shaft and balls.
Just be sure the size is right for you when choosing a steel ring “or else there’ll be issues once you’re hard,” warns Neal.
Sohimi Vibrating Dual Penis Ring with Taint Teaser
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Sohimi-Vibrating-Dual-Penis-Ring-with-Taint-Teaser.png?w=840&h=840)

The reviews of over 1,000 satisfied customers often compare this budget-friendly ring to high-end sex toy brands, so expect this dual cock ring to deliver sensations galore.
It’s got two flexible silicone rings for the shaft and balls, and a vibrating, textured taint teaser with 10 modes to play with.
Flip it and reverse it and bam (!), it becomes a double-shaft ring or ball-only ring while the teaser works magic on your balls and shaft or your partner’s clit or taint.
You can also use it as a finger vibe for erogenous play. Amaze-balls!
Best cock rings for partner stimulation
If you’re looking to share the love, these rings for partner stimulation are the cat’s meow according to experts and customer reviews.
LELO TOR2
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-LELO-TOR2.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Silicone
- Dimensions: 1.1 inches
Price: $$$
The TOR2 is the hands-down, legs-up best cock ring for partner stimulation according to pretty much everyone, including Neal, who says it’s “a thing of beauty that works well, is made from the highest quality materials, and is nice to look at.”
Obvs, the TOR2 is pricier than most other rings, but a worthy investment if you can swing it because it’s rechargeable and made to last. It’s also easy to adjust during partner sex and stretches to fit cocks of all girths.
Lovehoney Wowzer 7 Function Double Cock Ring and Vibrating Butt Plug
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Lovehoney-Wowzer-7-Function-Double-Cock-Ring-and-Vibrating-Butt-Plug.png?w=840&h=840)
- Material: Silicone
- Dimensions: 2 inches
Price: $$
If you’re into butt play, the Wowzer is everything and a bag of chips according to the impressive list of features and satisfied customers.
It’s got two flexible silicone rings that go around the D and Bs, two removable vibrating bullets, and an attached slender 3.5-inch butt plug so the wearer gets shaft and P-spot stimulation while the partner enjoys some clit or taint love, too. Wowzer indeed!
Pull one or both bullets to use on the nips, perineum, and other hot spots.
Best cock rings for a snug fit
Fit always matters when it comes to C-rings, but for people with fit concerns, Neal recommends adjustable rings. This goes for people with smaller-than-average or larger-than-average Ds — and beginners who aren’t sure what will fit them best.
Lasso-style rings are perfect because they can be adjusted to your preferences as often as you’d like.
The only downside to this style ring, Neal says, is “it can lose its grip if exposed to too much lube, so some users find it easiest to tie the ends or clamp them while in use.”
Tracey Cox EDGE Maximum Control Adjustable Stamina Ring
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Tracey-Cox-EDGE-Maximum-Control-Adjustable-Stamina-Ring.png?w=840&h=840)

Price: $

- Material: Silicone
- Dimensions: 9 inches
Price: $
This tie-style ring offers the flexibility and adjustability that experts recommend, but with a twist — two, actually.
The double loops are fully adjustable and can be worn around the shaft and balls, or any other configuration that gets the results you’re after.
Best cock rings for first-time buyers
Experts agree that flexible silicone rings make the best starter rings.
“I always recommend starting with silicone rings,” says Neal. “They’re great for figuring out your size and preferences, and if you accidentally find yourself in a situation with a ring that’s too small and starts cutting off your circulation, you can always remove a silicone ring with scissors.”
These two are popular with experts and newbies, and many seasoned cock ring connoisseurs, too.
Tantus Super Soft C-Ring
![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Tantus-Super-Soft-C-Ring.png?w=840&h=840)

![](https://i0.wp.com/post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/880548-These-Are-the-15-Best-Cock-Rings-Money-Can-Buy-According-to-Experts-Lovehoney-Get-Hard-Extra-Thick-Silicone-Cock-Ring-Set.png?w=840&h=840)

The bottom line
With the right fit and style, a cock ring can up the pleasure ante in solo or partner fun and can be a useful tool for anyone looking for help maintaining an erection.
That said, if you have trouble staying hard on the regular, a healthcare professional can help you figure out why and go over other available treatments.
