Alternatives to Hardwear cockrings

[jackhappy]

Go to your local grocery store, in the fresh vegetable isle. Fresh
brocoli is held in bunches by a wide rubber band (usuallly red or
blue in color). The band is ideal for larger cocks and balls.

Hi guys -

I am quite an experienced cockring user and looking for a new experience. I really like the idea of the Hardwear cockring but cannot justify the expense. Can anyone recommend a similar alternative to the regular circular cockring?

Hi all, newbie here, but not new to cock rings. I’ve been using them and making my own for years. I have to say the hardwear cock ring is well worth the money. I’ve had cord and bead type cock rings before, there actually is a company making ones that look a lot like the one someone made above and I tried it, it was okay but no comparison to the hardwear cockring in practice. I’ve also tried teardrop cock rings and a bunch of others. Like you carter2006 I was looking for a cheaper solution having seen a friend’s hardwear (funny story there, but completely off topic). I was super impressed with it the first time I saw him wearing it and I should have just skipped all the middle steps and got the real thing immediately. The two piece design and the dip and the whole thing is just well worth the money. I’ve spent as much on playstation games many times over and once you beat a video game there isn’t much else to do with it, so my vote is just go ahead and get the real deal, you’ll be glad you did, I was.

I have to chime in with buttnaked74 (I don't think I ever imagined writing or saying that phrase before I joined this community), and say that I bought the Hardwear cock ring and thought it was worth the money. It does what it says it will do, and my wife thinks it's sexy looking. I've tried other rings at various times, but the hardwear one has great flexibility. All in all, it's not outrageously expensive. One decent night out costs more, and this is something I can use again and again for some excellent nights "in." I say go for it and get the hardwear ring.

Thanks buttnaked74 and cgttown, I will definitely bear that in mind! It's not an option for me at the moment, but I definitely aspire to be a Hardwear owner!

The Hardware Horseshoe cock rings work by putting extra pressure on the vein at the top of the penis-- this is why they have the dimple bent in the top of the metal ring. However, they are absurdly overpriced, and complicated to put on (be careful not to pinch yourself). So, although I liked the effect in the demonstration, I didn't buy it. I did make my own, for all of about $5, from material I purchased at the hardware store. While it worked very well, I then realized that a simpler much design would have about the same effect, and be easier to put on and easier to make.

So, I made the ring in the attached picture. This is simple, and just about anyone can do it. It's a strong, thick rubber cockring, made to measure to give just the right pressure, with a 5/8 inch plastic bead threaded over it. I wear it with the bead on top, where it presses in the same place as the dimple in the Hardware Horseshoe ring. But, it is much easier to put on, doesn't look as dorky, is very cheap, and has a superior effect, like the Horseshoe ring.

You might wonder how I got the bead on the ring. For a long time, I've been making custom-sized rubber rings from neoprene rod, which can be purchased from industrial hardware dealers. Using a sharp razor blade, you just cut off the necessary length to make the desired size ring, then glue the ends together with crazy glue to form a ring. Surprisingly, if you cut the ends cleanly, and press the ends firmly together for about a minute while the glue sets, the glued joint is as strong as the rubber itself. To make the beaded ring, I just slipped a big plastic bead from a craft store over the rubber before I glued the ends. (I think I need the bead to be just slightly bigger, so I plan to make a new one soon.)

This particular ring is made from 3/8 inch thick neoprene cord, Shore 30A durometer, obtained from McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com), stock number 8466K123 (3-foot length, makes a lot of cock rings...).

When it comes to cock rings, I am always confused. They can be used in two ways. One that fits over the cock and the other is pulling your nuts through followed with your cock. And seats at the base of your cock and below hugging your sac. Which type is this ? Looks big for just your cock but then again on this site who knows.

Actually, I wear it both ways (I'm the guy that made it). I've got a rather thick cock (see gallery). Sometimes I wear it just around the base of my shaft, sometimes I tuck it behaind the balls, too, which makes it a little tighter.

By the way, the reason I got into rubber rings is that I once got stuck for a while in a heavy metal 2.25-inch one worn behind the balls. (I eventually got myself free by a procedure I will not go into here, but it didn't involve 911, the emergency room, or a saw.) Since then, I will wear only rubber rings behind the balls, although I like to wear a metal ring just around the shaft sometimes.

Wow eric, that sounds painful! I have a real fetish for metal, but you do have to be so careful. Luckily I had some help measuring up for the right size so I've never got caught out, but my other half once tried one that was too small and he regretted it afterwards! He escaped without harm but he never wore it again!

Hey man, both work well, but for me the best way to wear it is behind the nuts. Sometimes I wear both at the same time which is REALLY hot. For casual every day (flaccid) use, behind the buts is best because it doesn't fall off while you're walking!

Ever try an enhancement strap? I love wearing cockrings but only for short periods of time. I wear an enhancement strap under my bikini to the beach or underwear for a night out and it keeps everything well forward comfortably for hours. The one I am wearing here is from Undergear.
