Cock Rings, also known as Penis Rings, are a type of sex toy that will literally blow you away. If you haven’t already tried one it needs to be on your ‘to-do’ list now. You might be thinking cock ring, bondage, S & M pain etc but stop right there – you don’t have to be kinky to use a cock ring.

Most men use them to enhance their erections and sensation during sex and masturbation, and if this isn’t already bonus enough for you girls, there is a cheeky little extra on the Durex range to hit you right where you want it most. These Rings are already many people’s secret weapon and really do offer something for everyone.

How do cock rings work?

In short, they restrict the blood flow out of the penis just enough to keep it harder than normal. In no way does this cut off the circulation to the penis, just slows it down, helping you to potentially last longer with a harder hard-on. Cock Rings are designed to circle the penis, usually at the base of the shaft, testicles or both – and some vibrate, often with a multi-speed function, such as the Durex Play Vibrations Ultra Ring. If you do choose to place the Cock Ring around the testicles, it also puts pressure on the perineum, which is not only pleasurable but can also delay ejaculation, again helping you to stay harder and last longer.

How to use one

Its best to put the Cock Ring on when you are semi-hard - grab your penis in one hand and position the cock ring at the base. Make sure it's not pinching and that it feels comfortable. The rings stretch a lot and can easily accommodate many sizes. All the Durex range - Durex Play Ultra and Durex Play Vibrations are vibrating and lead to incredible clitoral stimulation during intercourse. The deeper you thrust, the more the vibration hits her clit – it’s a win win situation. Not only can they be used on the penis for masturbation and intercourse, they can be used anywhere on the body for arousing sensation and stimulation. They are also waterproof and are safe to use ins the shower or bath, and are compatible with all Durex condoms and lubricants. Cock Rings are completely safe to use, as long as you don’t leave one on for more than 30 mins at a time, or take enhancing pills while using one. They should fit snugly, but not completely cut off blood flow.

Why are they so great?

Put one on, start stroking and see what happens – you will enter a world of adventure. You may find the very act of donning a foreign object is quite arousing in itself, and is also good to build intimacy with your partner, giving you both an opportunity to explore things together. Cock Rings are small and not at all overbearing – they won’t ruin the moment, they will simply become your new best friend. They are cheap to buy and unlike pills or sprays- designed to help you last longer and be stronger- are completely natural. They help to keep your hard-on, delay ejaculation and sometimes make you look bigger – what’s not to like?! And if you are going solo – you might even manage a hands-free ejaculation

The vibrating element to the ring (providing you both like vibrations) can feel amazing both of you. The Durex Play Ultra and the Durex Play Vibrations have a single vibrating function for you to mix it up as and when the moment takes you. A vibrating cock ring can intensify the male orgasm and at the same time be mind blowing for the woman – having that amazing stimulation on the clitoris while keeping the intimacy and natural feel of your partners penis, touching the clit with every thrust.

Take a break from your usual routine, don’t be shy or over think using a cock ring; this has nothing to do with you not being perfectly capable without wearing one. Wearing a cock ring wont turn you into Casanova overnight either, it will simply bring some naughty fun your way and maybe a little more confidence knowing that pleasure is more or less guaranteed when a cock ring is around.
