When you go to an adult toy shop, you will find a wide number of cock rings.

It is natural for any man to get overwhelmed with the wide selection.

Making the right choice will be a lot easier if you are familiar with the main types of sex toys in this range.

Soft Cock Rings

Silicone cock rings are the ones that most people are familiar with. They are available from many different manufacturers.

Silicone is a highly elastic and hygienic material. The rings made from it can be designed in many different ways and often have additional “decorations” such as buds, petals and cones.

These are used to provide additional stimulation to both partners during lovemaking. These models can have a vibrating part as well.

One of the major advantages of the silicone cock rings is that they are stretchy. They can change their size in line with the changes in your erection.

This makes them highly effective in helping you last longer. They are quite comfy as well. Still, these rings come in different sizes and you need to select the one which suits your penis best.

Leather cock rings are among the most suitable ones for beginners. This is because they can be put on very easily and because their size can be easily adjusted.

You can go for a larger size in the beginning and then reduce it gradually. Some leather models have an additional smaller ring for attaching a vibrating bullet or a similar sex toy for even greater stimulation for both partners.

Others have three bands – one for the penis and one for each of the balls.

Leather feels very natural against the skin, at least for most men and women. It is quite durable as well. It may require more cleaning and care, but your extra efforts will certainly be worth it.

Metal Cock Rings

Metal cock rings are typically made from stainless steel or a precious metal such as silver or more rarely gold and platinum. These rings come in different designs.

You can go for a traditional model with a single band or for one with three bands with one going around the penis and the other two around the balls.

Sex toys made from metal are generally recommended for more advanced users. This is because they are not elastic and their size cannot be changed. At the same time, they work very well and feel and look great.

Consider all different types of cock rings for pleasing yourself and your partner.
