The humble cock ring is one of the most popular and most effective sex toys for penis-owners and couples. Whether you want a cock ring in its most basic form to maintain an erection or achieve a stronger one, or a full bells-and-whistles version to provide additional stimulation for both partners, the range available is enormous.
So what’s the best cock ring for you and why would you use a vibrating cock ring?
Before we go any further, let us state that we personally don’t think anyone has produced a vibrating cock ring as technologically advanced, powerful, or fun for couples as those in our new ATOM PLUS Cock Ring, but read further to find out why, as well as what other types of cock ring might be right for you.
History of the cock ring
According to a great piece in Mel magazine, the earliest recorded shoutout to the cock ring was in China dated around the year 1200: “Someone got the idea of fashioning a ring from goat eyelids with the lashes still on, then tying it on in an effort to stiffen the member, boost pleasure and prolong the orgasm. It worked.” There’s also some archaeological evidence of cock rings from Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
Fast forward 800 years and, whether you call it a pleasure ring, testicle ring or cock ring, most cock rings work in exactly the same way as that early version, minus the goat. You can now buy cock rings in metal, rubber, latex, leather and even steel, but they all perform the same function: they trap the blood flow as it enters your penis, increasing the size of your erection and keeping it going for a longer period of time. When you do eventually orgasm, it’s likely to feel more intense.
Using a cock ring safely
Every body is different. Finding a cock ring that works for yours starts with comfort, a little know-how and room to explore at your own pace.
Here are the essentials.
Find your fit: Look for a ring that feels snug and comfortable. Soft, flexible or adjustable designs can be a good starting point. Check the sizing guide and make sure you understand how to remove it before you begin.
Keep things smooth: A little compatible, water-based lube can make putting your ring on and taking it off easier. Follow your product’s instructions, as placement and use vary between designs.
Keep an eye on time: Wear your ring for no longer than 30 minutes, or less if the manufacturer recommends it. Set a timer, take it off when you’re finished and always remove it before sleep.
Listen to your body: Pain, numbness, coldness, unusual swelling or a change in colour are signals to remove the ring immediately. You don’t need to wait for the timer. A ring that’s too tight or left on too long can restrict circulation and cause serious, potentially permanent injury.
Why Use A Vibrating Cock Ring?
It can take time to get the hang of using a cock ring, bearing in mind that there’s a wide range of sizes and materials available. We recommend starting with an adjustable or highly flexible cock ring to ensure it’s easy to put on, take off, and fit correctly.
That said, it’s human nature to start wondering how you can make the experience even better. Adding vibration is an obvious next step to increase stimulation for both partners. A further innovation is to design the cock ring to go around the scrotum as well as the penis, and introduce vibration for the perineum. And this is useful if you are wondering why perineum stimulation is a thing
There are many vibrating cock rings available, but as we already stated, we think our ATOM PLUS is the best. This is only our opinion, but we’ve thought about it *a lot*: in fact, we spent five years researching and developing ATOM PLUS to make it the best vibrating cock rings on the market.
Here are four reasons why we think we’ve succeeded:
One: Most cock rings focus on the wearer, not the partner
ATOM PLUS also puts focus on the partner by offering a much wider surface area than is typically found in cock rings for partner stimulation (this wider area also makes it much easier for the partner to position themselves for the best sensation). In addition, and unlike other cock rings, the ATOM PLUS has a raised nub for the partner to grind against.
Two: Our ATOM PLUS is the only cock ring available that features dual integrated motors to stimulate the perineum and the penis simultaneously.
We have created patented sex-tech that allows us to integrate and connect two motors within a stretchy ring – an industry first. This tech allows us to use more powerful motors, which means the motors work better together, the cock ring fits more comfortably, and the overall look is sleeker.
Three: Sex toy reviewers think it’s awesome
Sex Machine Reviews said of ATOM PLUS: “This is not just your usual run of the mill cock ring, this is a superhero of a cock ring… The vibrations from the two large motors are exactly what Hot Octopuss said they would be; they deliver deep rumbly vibrations that feel great against the clitoris, cock and perineum… We have now got the hang of reading each other and efficiently communicating so we can time our orgasms to happen simultaneously and that is honestly mind-blowing.” Full review.
And finally, Girl On The Net said of ATOM PLUS: “Once I was done with my squirming and squealing and coming really hard, he took on thrusting and came quite hard too. In fact, one of the potential massive benefits of this cock ring is it makes it so easy for me to come that I can almost certainly use it to get back into the swing of timing it so we both come at once.” [You can read the full story, but it’s def NSFW.
