The erection, or erectile, ring is worn at the base of the penis, and sometimes on the scrotum. By compressing the veins, it prevents blood from flowing out of the penis. As a result, the most important organ acquires firmness, and ejaculation occurs later.

The magic ring can come in handy:

• in cases of weak erection;
• in cases of premature ejaculation;
• when the desire arises to prolong sexual intercourse and extend pleasure;
• when you want new sensations.

If at least one of the above is relevant to you, read on.

What to consider when choosing an erection ring

1. Hardness

All erection rings can be conditionally divided into two categories.

Elastic

They are made of thermoplastic rubber, medical silicone, or latex. Models made from them are easily adjustable and stretch, making them easier to fit, put on, and take off. The downside is that they don't always provide the necessary level of compression. But it's best to start experiments with these — elastic and smooth rings without frills.

• Silicone erection ring from Juicy Toyz, 1,700 rubles →

Hard

Such rings are most often made of metal. They are quite heavy and definitely not for beginners. This accessory is harder to put on and can't be cut off or quickly removed if something goes wrong.

What to buy

• Hard erection ring, 890 rubles →
• Set of metal erection rings, 1,190 rubles →

2. Size

Many rings can be adjusted or are elastic enough to fit almost everyone.

But the harder the material, the more attention needs to be paid to the sizes. To avoid mistakes, measure the girth of the erect penis at the base with a soft tape measure. And then calculate the diameter by dividing the result by Pi (3.14).

The parameters of the scrotum are measured in the same way — if you are choosing a sex toy, which covers this part of the body. For accuracy, it is recommended to take a hot bath before measuring — the necessary organ will warm up, as it does during sex. Keep in mind that the tape measure should be applied as close to the body as possible: it is right there, at the very base, that you will wear the accessory.

Now that you have your measurements, you can compare them with the characteristics of the ring. It is important that the diameter of the accessory is at least a little (half a centimeter) smaller than your measurements. Otherwise, it will not perform its main task: to prevent blood from flowing out.

Be sure to consider the width of the ring as well. A wider accessory holds more securely and distributes pressure more evenly.

If doubts continue to gnaw at you, buy a set of simple silicone rings of different sizes and test them. When you understand which diameter is most comfortable for you (doesn't slip off and doesn't compress too much), move on to more sophisticated options.

• Wide erection ring, 481 ruble →
• Set of silicone erection rings, 850 rubles →

3. Model

The selection of erectile rings is extraordinarily wide, and the choice of a specific model depends on how exactly you want to please yourself and your partner. Let’s consider several popular options.

Lasso

This is a great option for beginners who do not yet know what they want. Thanks to the adjustable size, the lasso can easily be put on both the penis and the scrotum. You can easily change the density of the grip. And what’s more important: taking off such a clamp is a matter of one second. In general, the field for experiments is huge, and the risk is practically zero.

What to buy

• Lasso with a ball-fixator, 500 rubles →
• Lasso for the penis, 303 rubles →

With spikes, nodules, and ribs

These soft silicone rings were mainly created for women's pleasure: to gently massage the most sensitive zones of the lady.

What to buy

• Set of erection rings with spikes and nodules, 190 rubles →
• Set of six rings with spikes, 1,500 rubles →

Double

This ring is worn simultaneously on the penis and the scrotum, creating pressure and unusual sensations in two places at once.

What to buy

• Double erection ring in the shape of a figure eight, 1,500 rubles →
• Double erection ring with metal rivets, 890 rubles →

With an anal plug

During sexual intercourse, the accessory massages the prostate, increasing arousal and providing the man with a brighter orgasm.

What to buy

• Silicone erection ring with an anal plug, 2,300 rubles →
• Large erection ring with a prostate massager, 3,390 rubles →

For double penetration

To the ring is attached an additional "penis" that penetrates into the anal opening of the woman. In some models, there is a nice feature: the silicone phallus can vibrate from a battery.

What to buy

• Vibrating ring with phallus, 1,990 rubles →

With a clitoral massager

The idea is simple: the vibrating brush massages the clitoris during friction. Such devices are powered either by batteries or are charged via USB. Some models allow you to change the intensity of the vibrations. The most advanced options come with a remote control, are capable of counting the number of frictions and calories burned.

To ensure the brush truly provides pleasure, rub against your partner's belly and thighs while remaining inside her. The best positions for this are missionary and cowgirl.

What to buy

• Ring with soft antennae for clitoral stimulation, 1,400 rubles →
• Vibrating ring with a clitoral massager, 955 rubles →

With a G-spot massager

Another option that takes into account the interests of women. The paddle is inserted into the vagina along with the penis and creates vibrations in the G-spot area during friction. The intensity can be adjusted using a small button.

With a built-in camera

The hi-tech ring weighing about 30 grams is capable of recording up to one and a half hours of video in 1080p resolution. With a special app, the movie can be uploaded to your smartphone and shared with your partner. Manufacturers swear that intimate footage is not uploaded to the cloud, so hackers won't be able to access it.

How to put on, wear, and remove an erection ring

And now let's move on to the main thing — how to use the erection ring for your benefit, not detriment. To do this, you need to follow these rules:

• Before the first use, the accessory must be washed with antibacterial soap or a special sex toy cleaning solution. Do the same procedure after the sexual act ends.
• It makes sense to trim or even shave the hair in the pubic area. The ring can easily pull out long hairs, which, to put it mildly, is not very pleasant.
• Metal and rigid plastic models are put on the penis before achieving an erection. Adjustable and elastic rings can be stretched over the hard organ.
• An important rule is not to wear the ring for more than 20 minutes. And of course, you cannot sleep with it on!
• Try to quickly remove the ring if you feel numbness, pain, or notice that the color of the skin has changed — it has taken on a purple hue or, on the contrary, has become pale.
• Elastic and adjustable rings can be removed at any time. It's harder with metal: you need to wait for the penis to reach a state of complete relaxation. Only then will you be able to without pain get rid of the accessory.
• Rings should not be worn if you have diabetes or any other problems related to circulation.
