Thank you for the responses. After spending 30 minutes trying to get it on and even looked up videos 1.75 is just too small for me to get my testicles through. I found a steel 2 for under $10 I'm going to give a try.

This thing is adictive... Almost 3 weeks now and i take it off only during BM PE. My wife loves the way it looks and i think is time to get some different models...

I just got in my 2 inch ring. It's finally big deal enough to get my testicles through but not much room for anything else so if if I can get it in I think it be too tightI tried namsokiek suggestion and still couldn't get it in. The Rings I was buying wss only 7 dollars but don't make anything bigger. I wish two peice rings where more affordable

I too have larger balls, so make sure your fully flaccid when putting on your steel ring. Review my post (above) in how to put on a steel cock ring. Just work your balls in one at a time, then using lube if necessary, bend your penis beneath the ring while simultaneously pulling the ring back with your other hand to your pelvic bone / fatpad.

Hey Jock... I run into a little problem here... I have a 52mm ring that fits me just great but i thought that to actually help growth i could use a 50mm one to get some more powerful night-time after PE bonners. Well those 2 mm less are a huge difference... and it help alot but sometimes the ball-sack skin is getting pinched and it awakens me. I tried to keep it bone pressed but i don't have to much of a fat pad and it keeps sliding down... Anything i can try before i switch back to the 52mm?

Hey Jock, great writeup. Just started this particular journey and I'm liking it so far. Since I didn't know exactly where to start, and working in an automotive parts store I decided to try our rubber o rings to find a good size.
I'm a grower not a show-er so I get to have the more difficult time finding something that will work in both states.

I also have been planning on actually starting a PE routine and sticking with it, I have a bathmate and use it on occasion, but want to actually start a full fledged beginners routine to gain in both dimensions (I measured at one point but can't remember girth at the moment, length bone pressed engorged was right about 6").

So here is what I have found so far, a 1"3/4 (roughly 45mm) ring works well enough flaccid (although I noticed when taking it off after 4 hours use a little puffiness in the area around where the ring was that went away after about 10 minutes of it being off, maybe nothing, maybe normal but thought I would mention it ), but I'm a slight bit concerned when fully hard. It definitely makes it fuller, which is great, but I get a slight irritated feeling (more annoying than painful) around the base by my scrotal sack. Which goes away the moment I return to flaccid.

I'm wondering how I should size a steel or horseshoe ring since I'm figuring it will have zero give unlike the o-ring.

Do they come in incremental upsizes or is it a bigger jump?

I turtle a lot (which is frustrating to me to say the least) and I can already see the ring will help that but I don't want to choose wrong and get something that will either not work properly do to being too large or worse yet, be too tight and restrict blood flow when engorged since I want to wear it as long as I can.

I see you say silicone rings aren't ideal for all day wear, but what are your thoughts on using them only for sex (I've been looking on the perfectfitbrand website at some of their items, any thoughts on their stuff)?

Guys who turtle a lot or "growers" who expand tremendously when erect (like double in length & an inch or more in girth) may need to wear 2 different rings to accommodate blood-flow. A smaller ring 24/7 should hold a "puffed up" engorgement & cement gains during the day for example; but switching to a slightly larger ring for edging, masturbating or sex in order to avoid injury. Typically the smaller ring would be best for sleeping IMO, because REM sleep erections usually don't last long enough to cause pain or reduce blood flow for more than 20-30 minutes and are normally not as intense (large) as fully conscious erections.

Another option is to "customize" a slightly larger ring by adding tape to the bottom narrowing the inside diameter slightly while holding your flaccid engorgement during the day. The tape can be hidden behind your balls to help hold the ring in position 24/7. As needed, it can be removed for sex and/or removed n layers as your flaccid size grows naturally from PE, until you can wear the larger ring without tape 24/7.

...just a few suggestions here, guys...Jock

Silicone stretchy rings are fine for sex, but don't wear them for more than 30 minutes, because they will continue to constrict, cutting blood flow potentially to a dangerous level. Firm rubber O-rings that don't constrict are ok, but some guys develop allergies to rubber and they tend to itch when you sweat while working out or in summer. Surgical steel rings are the best both hygienically and to avoid injury for 24/7 wear. The heavier weight of a steel ring is something most guys really like, and the different styles of rings made in steel today offer many different types of stimulation to both guys (24/7) and their partners during sex.

PM me for my preferred list of reputable online suppliers that I've resourced for quality surgical steel c-rings at the best prices. Also, for those considering wearing a c-ring, PM me BEFORE measuring, to get some detailed tips on the process that will save us both some time. I'm available to help all you guys get yourselves fitted properly & safely for growth & cementing PE gains. Ask questions anytime, I'm here to help!

Can somebody draw an illustration or post a photo of how you're supposed to measure? I'm a bit confused, and if this it's self can gain me girth I'd love to try it.

Jockinthebox usually recommends that you PM him if there is confusion with this and he will guide you through the measuring process.

My horseshoe has arrived but the gap between the balls is so big that my flaccid goes through it very easy. If I invert the ring, a big part of my scrotum sac goes through the gap. On the other hand, while erect it stays in place, but the pressure does not seem to be adequate compared to the full ring. This is the ring I have bought https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It is a good quality steel ring I would say besides that it is impossible to wear for 24/7.
I have ordered a 40mm one.

I would appreciate any advice. Should I send them the ring back and get a refund? Or maybe there is some way I could customize the ring? I thought about placing sticking tape somehow and placing a string in the gap to kind of make my horseshoe ring a full ring instead.

What size is your cockring? I purchase two sizes and they are too small!!
They are brand new.. I never use them.. what a waste of money :-(

Sizes:
45 mm = 1.75" **made in Germany**

50 mm = 2.00" **made in Germany**

So I tried measuring last night and again right now and completely flaccid and using string to go all the way around at a snug but not super tight measurement and put it up against a ruler and I keep getting around 18cm or just over 2.2" (57mm) I went to my local sex shop and the biggest they had was an Apollo Stainless Steel XL ring that looked no bigger than 1.5" or some Colt silicone that went up to 1.75". My local HD doesn't seem like it'll have O rings like that but I can go and check. jockinabox please pm me to help me out. You got me really interested. Thanks!

He doesn't want to advertise where he places his hands while measuring you?
