Two-piece cock and ball ring (chrome plated·hex screw fastening)

A metal ring that sits around the scrotum and the base of the penis. Unlike a solid ring, it is made of two halves, so you position them against your body and close them with screws. The material is a rust-free alloy and the outside is finished with chrome plating.

Two halves change how you put it on

A solid ring has to be pushed on while you are not erect. This one closes by bringing the two halves together from either side of the body, so there is no pushing involved. You set the fit by how far you tighten the screws, which makes it easier to match your body. In exchange, you need the key every single time you put it on and take it off.

It locks with a hex key

Screws go into the points where the two halves meet, and the hex key that comes with it tightens them down. They will not loosen by hand, so there is little worry of it slipping off during use. On the other hand, if you lose the key there is no way to get it off, so store the key in the same place as the ring.

What the pressure does

The job of this ring is to hold blood at the base and help an erection last longer. The feeling of the pressure itself adds to sensation, and some people use it to delay ejaculation. How tight it sits is decided by how far you turn the screws, so start loose and tighten a little at a time. Being a solid piece of metal, it has a weight that a silicone ring does not, and it feels cool on first contact before it warms to body temperature.

What to know before you use it

Skin is easily pinched between the joining faces as you tighten the screws. Before tightening, push the skin clear with your hand and check that the gap is empty. Once it is closed you cannot pull it off by hand, so not losing the key is directly tied to your safety. Wearing it for a long time keeps blood from circulating properly, so use it in short sessions and never sleep in it.
