Cock Ring Sizing Guide:
How to Measure for a Cock Ring

You like it, so put a properly-sized ring on it.

So you're ready to give cocks ring a try. That's no bad choice. Cock rings are a potential-packed sex toy, host to many sexual prowess-related benefits, including the potential to help make your erections harder and last longer. They're also key to providing some thrilling extra stimulation.

You're sold on the idea of these toys, but you're probably wondering "what size cock ring do I need?" Cock rings are as unique as the penises they embrace, and there is no one size fits all to get the one that's best for you. So instead, read on and discover how to measure cock ring size so you can find your penis’s best fit.

Why Measure for a Cock Ring?

Like any other type of wearable item, you won’t reap the benefits of a cock ring if there’s an improper fit. Too loose of a penis ring may cause it to fall off during use; too tight of a cock ring can constrict your penis to the point of discomfort or pain, possible doing it damage.

Do yourself and your dong a favor and channel your inner Goldilocks by getting your cock ring sizing juuuust right.

How to Measure for a Cock Ring

You’ll need a few supplies on hand (and later on cock) before you find out what size cock ring is best for you. So grab some string, a ruler, and a marker, and you’ll be ready to start your penis ring sizing journey.

Step 1: Determine your Ideal Cock Ring Placement

cock-ring-placement

There’s no singular proper way to don cock rings, so you’ll need to decide how you'd like to wear yours before the measuring process takes place.

Some people place cock rings around the base of their penis and behind the balls, others just in front of the testicles and at the beginning of the shaft, and some directly behind their cock head.

However you choose to sport your cock ring, it’s important that you measure around the part of your peen where your cock ring will rest.

Step 2: Wrap the String Around your Flaccid Penis

Take the string and wrap it around the portion of your soft pecker where you plan to wear your cock ring. The string’s fit should be snug to the skin but not so tight that it causes pain or discomfort. For a proper fit, you’ll be able to juuuuust fit a single finger between the string and your peen.

Step 3: Mark the String and Measure It

Mark both sides of your string right where they meet each other. Then, lay your string flat next to a ruler and measure the distance between your marks; that measurement reflects your ideal cock ring circumference.

Some penis ring sellers use diameter instead of circumference for their sizing. No worries, you already have the information you need - just do a little simple math to get the diameter. Divide your circumference measurement by 3.14159, and BAM! You’ve now got your ideal dick ring diameter.

Step 4: Repeat Steps 2 and 3 on your Erect Penis

Get your joystick good and hard, then repeat the string measurement process (using a new piece of string to avoid confusion) on the same portion of your penis that you took the first measurement. The circumference of your erect and flaccid cock should be roughly the same. If your measurements are wildly different from each other, something went wrong, so you’ll need to go back to square one. If you’re STILL getting crazy different circumferences on your second try, just use the average measurement between the ones for your hard and soft johnson.

Choosing Cock Rings for Your Measurements

Though most cock rings are adjustable or stretchy, they do have their limits, which is where your measurements come in handy. To ensure a cock ring will fit your member, compare the product’s minimum and maximum diameter to the circumference of your penis.

Not all cock rings are adjustable, though, like in the case of rigid cock rings such as ones made of metal. When choosing a rigid cock ring, pick one with a diameter that’s 0.25 to 0.5 inches smaller than your own diameter so that you’ll get a good fit that doesn’t constrict you too much.

That said, we don’t recommend beginners use metal cock rings, as they offer far more constriction than adjustable or stretchy cock rings do. Because metal cock rings cannot be pulled or cut off for fast removal in needed, metal cock rings are really only a good fit for experienced users.

Types of Adjustable Cock Rings

Lasso-Style Rings

Lasso cock rings are super duper easy to adjust to your exact size needs. Their simple yet genius design consists of a looped string of silicone and a toggle connector that you can slide up and down to adjust the penis ring’s size.
