First things first, what exactly is a cock ring, and why do you definitely want to use one? Cock rings (also called penis rings and love rings) are typically made of rubber, silicone, nylon, metal or leather and are used to trap blood within an erect penis. By doing this, they may help make your erections last longer.
For your first cock ring adventure, try a stretchy cock ring made of rubber or silicone, and consider using it on your own so there's no pressure from your partner (even a supportive one) and you can acclimate to the sensation. Cock rings can sometimes feel a bit awkward or uncomfortable, but after a few sessions, you'll be enjoying them like a pro.

While pretty much all cock rings aim to help you last longer, they do come in a variety of shapes, sizes and functions, including remote and app control. Vibrating cock rings can potentially help your partner to orgasm during vaginal intercourse, since they tend to provide much-needed attention to the clitoris while you're doing the deed.
How to Choose the Best Cock Ring？
Choosing the best cock ring for you means deciding what you actually want from your toy. Since all cock rings aim to increase your sexual stamina, let's take a look at other factors.
Stretchy, adjustable, or rigid?
Adjustable cock rings are great for determining what size of stretchy or rigid cock ring you need, since they'll let you find the best fit for you. They can make good first-time rings and are particularly easy to keep in your pocket for spontaneous enjoyment.
Stretchy cock rings are the most common cock rings by far, and boast a load of features all across the board. Will you have one ring or two, a remote on an app? Vibrations all around, or only on the part of the ring shaped to give clitoral stimulation? This is the category where most folk find their favorite.
Rigid cock rings are best for when you have more experience using cock rings, since their lack of stretch or adjustability means you need to be very confident in the size that's best for you.
The cock ring you'd choose for your own solo use is probably going to be different to the cock ring you'd share with your partner. For example, you may think a cock ring butt plug is the bee's knees for your own personal sessions, while an app-controlled ring with a buzzing clitoral stimulator could be just the ticket when your partner comes to play.
