Measuring For A Cock Ring

Measuring for a cock ring

Most cock rings available today measure 45mm or 50mm (1.75 or 2 inches) internal diameter.
Cock Rings are always sized by their diameter, so you will need to measure yourself for this. Measuring for a ring is quite straightforward

First you need to measure the circumference around your cock from behind the balls. You can use a fabric tape measure (the kind dressmakers use) to get the measurement, or, if you don’t have one, you can use a piece of string and a ruler.

Wrap the tape measure or string around your cock, going behind the balls. The tape should be snug but not tight. The last thing you want is to suffer from circulation problems, so a good time to take this measurement is after a shower or bath when your body is most likely at it’s warmest.

Now you have your circumference you need to divide it by 3.14 to get the diameter. We’ve done some sample calculations below to show you how it works:

Firstly in metric:

17.3 cm ÷ 3.14 = 55mm diameter
15.7 cm ÷ 3.14 = 50mm diameter
14.1 cm ÷ 3.14 = 45mm diameter
12.5 cm ÷ 3.14 = 40mm diameter

And in imperial:

7 inches ÷ 3.14 = 2.25 inches diameter
6.25 inches ÷ 3.14 = 2 inches diameter
5.5 inches ÷ 3.14 = 1.75 inches diameter
4.7 inches ÷ 3.14 = 1.5 inches diameter

It’s worth taking the measurement two or thee times to be absolutely sure, as cock rings usually cannot be exchanged after sale due to the intimate nature of their use.

Another option is to visit your local “Do It Yourself” or hardware store and discover if you can find a ring with a diameter of 50 or 45 mm. This could be a curtain ring, a large rubber washer or something similar. Then when you get home put it on and see how it feels. Much too loose then you’ll need to buy a slightly smaller sized cock ring, too tight and you’ll need a larger cock ring.

Putting on your cock ring

The following refers to the traditional metal or hard rubber cock ring.
Cock rings can be a little tricky to put on at first, but with a little practice it becomes quite easy. Always remember to put them on when your penis is flaccid and soft.

* Pull a little scrotal skin through the ring, then push one testicle through

* Take a little more skin and push the other testicle through the ring

* Now bend the penis downwards and pull it through the ring

Putting on a Cock Ring

You may find that wearing the ring for a few hours a day helps your body become accustomed to the feel, your testicles in particular need to get used to the sensation. This also helps ensure that the ring you have selected is not too tight. If the ring you select is too large you will most likely discover that it slips off. If too small then you will have circulation problems.
