If you’ve never tried a cock ring (aka, a penis ring), you’re in for a very sexy—and honestly, pretty life-changing—treat. Contrary to popular belief, they’re not just for the pleasure of penis-owners, nor are they strictly used to maintain erections. Cock rings are for anyone who wants to give their sex life a little boost, whether you’re looking to play solo or to rev up penetration. And because we know the sex toy market can be a bit confusing (there are so many different types of toys!), we made a giant list of the 20 best cock rings we know and love, so you can add-to-cart with peace of mind.
Some cock rings are pretty simple bands that work by restricting blood flow to the penis, which can help with maintaining a stronger and harder erection. Those are great if that’s your ultimate goal, and we’ve included a few down below. But because technology has evolved, so, too, have cock rings and the pleasure they can provide. These days, many come with vibrators attached that can offer extra sensation for both the wearer and their partner, regardless of genitals. Some even offer dual-stimulation, meaning the wearer can experience pleasure on both on their shaft and balls or perineum. Others even include remote- or app-controlled functions, or tiny ears for pinpoint clit stim. Honestly, there’s no limit to what cock rings can do these days. Enter: Our faves!
Our top picks for cock rings:
So without further ado, here are all our favorite cock rings that will benefit you, your partner, and probably the world because you’ll be walking around so damn happy and satisfied. And don’t forget to keep scrolling for all the expert advice on how to choose the best cock ring for you, the benefits of cock rings, and more good stuff.

What are the benefits of using a cock ring?
First things first: As sexologist and educator Marla Renee Stewart, MA, explains, a penis ring is simply a band you put on the base of a penis between the shaft and testicles (or behind the balls, if you so choose) to enhance sensation. The rings themselves are usually circular or oval-shaped, but there are some adjustable lasso-style options that make changing the tightness super simple. And while cock rings come in a variety of materials, they’re typically made out of silicone, rubber, and metals.
According to Babeland brand manager and sex educator Lisa Finn, penis rings are primarily designed to restrict blood flow into the shaft of the penis. Essentially, the ring traps the blood in the penis shaft and head, which can actually feel ahh-mazing. “This restricted blood flow can help maintain a stronger erection, as well as make the wearer’s shaft and tip more sensitive to touch,” she adds. In other words, your partner’s restricted penis will over-sensitize ev-er-y-thing.
JSYK, cock rings can also aid someone who tends to orgasm quickly or has difficulty maintaining an erection. “In addition to keeping the penis harder [for] longer, cock rings are good for people who may suffer from erectile dysfunction,” explains erotic educator Taylor Sparks, founder of Organic Loven. “Some people may have erectile dysfunction due to ailments such as Parkinson’s disease and aren’t able to take Cialis or Viagra. A cock ring is the best natural way to combat this type of ED.”
How to use a cock ring
Most penis rings are designed to be put on when the penis is flaccid or partially flaccid, with the erection sort of “growing” into it. The ring can be situated either in front of (good for beginners) or behind the testicles, although keeping the ring behind the testicles can really help delay ejaculation.
That said, Astroglide’s resident sexologist, Jess O’Reilly, PhD, says it’s always a good idea to read the manufacturer’s instructions and adjust according to your body’s response, since all toys and people are made differently. And if you’re just starting out, she suggests taking things slow and not overdoing it. “Try it out for five minutes on an erect penis to make sure it fits and feels comfortable and trust your own body’s response,” she says. Additionally, if your partner is wearing a condom with a penis ring, put the ring on first, and then—when the wearer is fully erect—put the condom on second.
“You don’t want the condom to be stretched over or under the ring, as the ring could pull on it and cause a potential rip,” says Finn. And, ofc, do NOT forget lube. When your partner puts the ring on, you want to make sure they’re using plenty of lube to get the ring on and off. Otherwise, it could pull at the skin or pubic hair, and that’s a recipe for pain and disaster. As Finn points out, “Lube won’t make the ring fall off if it’s the right size—snug but not uncomfortably tight—and will just help eliminate any friction that could irritate the skin.”
How to choose the best cock ring
Whether you’re looking for your first-ever penis ring or already have an impressive cock ring collection, experts say to keep these things in mind while you shop:
Stick with body-safe materials
Just like with all sex toys and accessories, you’ll want to make sure you’re going with materials that are easy to clean and won’t irritate your skin. C-rings made with silicone, stainless steel, and ABS plastic are all safe bets, but you’ll wanna steer clear of toys made with PVC, as those tend to be more porous and pretty much impossible to fully sanitize (not to mention they may contain toxic chemicals called phthalates). And remember that silicone toys can’t be used with silicone-based lubes.
Find the right size
Ofc, it’s essential to find a ring that’ll accommodate your shaft or dildo. Unless they’re made with stainless steel, most cock rings are made with material that’ll stretch to accommodate a variety of girths, but make sure you check out the diameter when it’s fully extended to make sure it won’t be too restrictive or too loose. A penis ring set with incrementally sized rings can help you avoid a poorly-sized toy.
Consider the extra benefits
Ya can’t go wrong with a simple ring, but if you’re looking for some extra sensation, then look for a ring with bonus features, such as bunny ears, fun textures, or an attached butt plug or dildo. And if you opt for a penis ring that has a built-in vibrator, then both partners can reap the orgasmic benefits.
How we chose our best cock rings
We’ve included a variety of penis ring types—including vibrating cock rings, C-ring sets, and those with attachments—so you can find the best ~sexessory~ for you. You can also be rest assured that all these picks are made with body-safe materials and are hiiighly rated by some very happy customers.
