Jockinthebox's Guide to Steel Cock Ring Selection

If you provide the information on this post, it could help others get the right size

I've discovered it's best to help each guy individually, via PM. There are questions they need to answer which some might not be comfortable sharing in the open forums re: their physiology, intended primary use of their ring, etc. 99% of guys I help send flaccid pics to me, detailing their scrotum attachment alongside their penis (which I delete after we size them, guaranteeing privacy). That unique physiological difference alone, weighs significantly in determining the size & style of ring a guy should choose. Obviously, those pics would not be allowed here in the open forums, and many guys would not want a dic-pic link tied to their username, either. That's why I handle sizing discreetly, for everyone's benefit.

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**

I have bought a 40mm one. I am doing the EWCR challenge right now and it seems that I could even get a 45mm now as it looks like I have gotten thicker!

Jock, what is your thoughts about ejaculating with a steel cockring? Have you done it while you were doing EWCR challenge?

[jockinthebox Retired Moderator Member of the Month May 2015PEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close jockinthebox]

Yes, I have sex & ejaculate quite frequently wearing a steel cock ring. When sized properly & specifically to a guy's individual physiology, there is no danger in gaining an erection (actually your ring will help maintain an erection) and ejaculating with your ring on. I even wear a horseshoe style that helps guard against any thrombosis, because I have a prominent dorsal vein at my base when I'm erect. The gap in the horseshoe style is perfect for guys who have similar physiology to me, allowing the vein to pass between the gap in the ring while wearing it erect. Feel free to ask more questions as needed here, guys.

Joke where did you buy yours? My problem is I have a 52mm? Ring and it's still too small and need something bigger. I also been wanting a horse shoe but not wanting to pay my hardware prices.

Try meo.de It's a German quality manufacturer that sells the largest horseshoe style (58mm that I wear), and it's the largest ring sold anywhere I'm aware of. They are a little more expensive than others, but if you need that size, they are a reliable (albeit a little weird, with S&M, gay & B&D stuff too) quality resource for surgical steel rings.

No "joke", I'm Jock!

Thanks! I'll check them out.

Hey Jock, thanks for all your info here. You mentioned the 58mm horseshoe ring on meo.de, yet the largest size I see is 55mm. Any ideas where I might find the 58mm?

Surgical steel cockrings, sized correctly, can be comfortably worn 24/7 to gain girth and length passively (IMO). See my thread https://www.pegym.com/forums/groups/cockring-d1421-extended-wear-cock-ring-challenge-girth-length-gains.html
for details on the Extended Wear Cock Ring Challenge I did to gain !/2" in erect girth and 2+% in overall erect length, in 1 month!

HOW TO MEASURE CORRECTLY:
MAKE SURE YOU Measure completely FLACCID: Using a string, wrap snuggly (but not too tightly) completely around your entire package (beneath your balls just in front of perineum and over top of your shaft flat against fatpad or pelvic bone). Mark or hold the string carefully, then measure the length on a ruler and divide that number by 3.14 (PI) to determine the targeted inside diameter of the ring you will need to order. If you order larger, you run a risk of the ring being too large when flaccid and falling off (particularly if you're a "grower") plus you won't see results from holding any blood in your "flushed" flaccid to cement gains. During sex, edging, and when otherwise erect, your ring will be tight, but not too tight that blood flow is reduced to a dangerous level. A test for proper fit: while holding your shaft with one hand, turn the ring around on your flaccid- it'll be tight, but will turn, and you can force an index fingertip between the ring and your shaft (unless you have GIANT FINGERS) .

KEY VARIABLES TO CONSIDER:
"Hang": A Guys hang is as unique as his fingerprint or signature. The attachment of the scrotum and how wide or narrow it is are important to consider for both fit and comfort of your ring. I urge you to check my flaccid pics in my profile albums for comparison to your individual "hang". Notice that my scrotum is wider at the attachment alongside my shaft than most guys. An important consideration because pinching here makes long-term wear uncomfortable.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE ORDERING: Go to a hardware store or Lowes/Home Depot (US) or a local PORN Shop and purchase a couple different sizes of steel rings (cheap) and try wearing those for a day to see if your daily activity causes the ring to become loose or if it's too tight (BE CAREFUL TO REMOVE IT) then try a different size, next day. A good idea, just to make sure you've gotten a perfect fit before investing in a quality surgical steel ring. I urge you only buy surgical steel ones since they are seamless, don't cause skin rash, and are heavier weight (feel great around your package!).

Ordering on-line: Most sites stock a variety of designs and styles. I like plain steel rings 1/2 " wide, but widths vary from very thin low-profile up to 3/4". My favorite is a "Horseshoe" style with a gap for the dorsal vein between 2 steel balls on top. It's the most comfortable for me for 24/7 wear; plus the steel balls give my GF great clitoral stimulation when deep-thrusting or grinding during sex! (Your mileage may vary)! PM me for additional sites, as sizes and availability are constantly changing online, or just search on your own. Many good quality rings are available through ebay, amazon, and others. I can't list links here in the open forums as it's considered advertising by rules of PEGYM Admin. (sorry). Most sites stock 1.75" (45mm) and 2" (50mm) inside diamteters. You'll need to do a search for larger sizes, though if needed. 45mm is the most popular size that fits most men. I had to get a 55mm due to my uniquely wider scrotum, and it was VERY hard to find and also expensive! Most standard horseshoes cost around $35 + shipping (US). Standard full rings are usually $18-$25.

I DO NOT recommend Hardwear (Brand) Horseshoe rings, however. They are cheaply made, break, have a weirdly uncomfortable swale or curve made into them that pinches your dorsal vein, and are difficult to put on and take off. If you search forums and read comments, they generally have BAD reviews from those who've purchased them and the CS @ Hardwear is equally unresponsive to customer complaints (IMO).

How to put on/ take off a steel cock ring: Completely FLACCID, hold ring below testicles pulling scrotum skin through ring followed by each testicle, individually. Pull your scrotum down fully, then (use lube if necessary) bend penis head /glans downward through ring while pulling ring back flat against your pelvic bone. Adjust ring beneath your balls so it rides just in front of your perineum. To remove, reverse this process. Takes some practice, but you should be able to put a steel ring on or remove it in about 10 seconds.

Contact me if you have any questions. I'm glad to help you get your custom "FIT" on!

I tried to message you but I don't know how to send a message. I was trying to find a good site to buy a horse shoe cock ring.

OK BigGuy, Messaging is easy. Just right click on my username, select "send a private message" from the drop-down box, then type your message & hit "send".

Sizing is a 3 step process that's specific to each guy's individual physioology. I'll help coach you through that. Just send me a PM and we can get started. I'll send you my list of favorite ring sellers online, so you can shop around, once your properly sized.

Jock

I checked meo.de and I see a 55 mm surgical steel horseshoe cock ring, but did not see the 58 mm one. Did I miss it or have you found a 58 mm cock ring from a different source. Thanks

Jock just a simple question here. But are the surgical cock rings are they just a round single steel ring? Or are they horseshoed for example?

Surgical steel is the quality of the steel. They can be both rounded or horseshoe.

This threaded reminded me I have some cock rings I couldn't fit into, but lost almost 80#s so I'm going to give it a go and see if they fit now.

For the hardware store 24h trial is it ok to buy a solid brass ring? Could not find 1.75" in zinc plated.

Yes, a brass ring will work OK for a 24 hour test; but don't wear it as your permanent ring, as it may cause skin allergies.

Thanks again bro!
