I have read your instructions on cock ring sizing and just needed to verify weather the measurments need to be taken while erect or flaccid.

Check out all the threads on cock rings...there is a lot of feedback on sizing already on the boards.

From personal experience, the best thing you can do is head to the hardware store and buy those rubber O-rings in various sizes. Try them on (once you get home, that is ) and take it from there.

michie,

Thanks, I'll look thru those links. Ive been reading thru looking for the answer since I arrived here at work this morning 7hrs ago.

I did try a rubber O-ring but it seemd to tighten up too much to wear around town. I'm now looking into the metal ones offered here to match our wedding bands.

Thank again.

I meant use the O-ring just to check the sizing. It helped us decide what size to get, that's all. Good luck...rings are fun!

Ok I'll do, I'm assuming that the measurment would need to allow for it to be as loose as possible while flaccid.

I've read comments about others fealing like it was going to fall off, I dont see how this would be possible since it incases the scrotum as well.

It looks like it may not matter in my case. After measuring with a 1/4 strip of paper somewhat snug and dividing by 3 I'm right at 2.65 so I guess I'll go for the 2-1/4 .4 Titan for starters.

Any comments greatly appretiated

You divide by 3.3, not 3.

Well, I tried to stop by the hardware store on the way home but the wife wanted to know what i needed to buy and she went in with me. I'm wanting to surprise her with it and since we carpool it doesn't look like I will get the chance to but, as an architect I have plastic circle templates. They aren't as thick as an O-ring would be but after trying the 1-7/8",2"and 2-1/4" I'm thinking the 2" fits best.

The 1-7/8" seemed to be a little uncomfortable to install but not too tight while flacid.

The 2-1/4" seemed a little loose and after removing my shaft both testicals slid right out in unicin.

The 2" seemed comfee and was slightly arousing but not too tight nor too loose.

I am interested in my first ring to wear on a severel hour basis, use during sex isn't as much an issue because I plan to buy the double dophin vibrating ring from here as well at the same time.

Hopefully it will be the right size.

Do you gentlemen find that upon innitial instillation that it should be slightly snug enough to envoke a slight erection.

At $32 bucks a pop I hate to order the wrong size and couldn't find any information on a retern policy except for one message stating to an individual that if they ordered the large one and it was too small that they could send it back. I took that to be a special prize for size instead of general policy, lol.

Thanks again, I'm quite excited, upon subtle hints the wife acted as if she thought it would be wierd but I could see a hint of curiosity. I'm certain that she will be swoon by it and if not, I know I will be!

Freddy,

I see now at http://www.gearessentials.com/ they say to divide by pi (3.14)

I don't see that it makes that much difference though.

I'm still not sure if it's better for it to be slightly too small or slightly too large, I'm thinking too small. I don't suppose there is any true danger of it being too small other then an immediate required ejactulation to allow removal.

Thanks for the help, love the site! Reviews are great, good amount of content, prices seem competitive, respectible enough for men and women alike and it's obviouse that there are some great prople here...I'm hooked!

ketch,
Thanks, I'll look thru your posts throughout the day.

You've convinced me that I've chosen wisely. Titan .4, 2" brushed. I will probably go for a smaller one down the road too.

I'm not sure that I'm a fortunate, the wife says I am though. I figured it had more to do with my overweightness. 6'-3" 300#'s

I'm no Ron Jeremy and I saw someone say he wears a 2", I'm assuming that's a snug fit for him but I bet he could handle a little more discomfort then I.

Thanks again, it's been great help!

Thats what happened to our Imperial and it has sat in the bottom of the toy box ever since. Never thought about asking to return it guess we very used to "all sales final" on sex toys. The whole thing kinda turned us off of the whole idea. We now know what fits but the disappointment from the first time and not knowing how it well it will really perform it doesnt seem woth shelling out another $50
My suggestion is try to get it right the first time and it would be awesome if there was a cheap sizing kit available that could be put out to take away the guess work.

If thats the case, like I said, why not put together a cheap set and package them together nicely and sell them for $5-10 inculding shipping.
I think people would buy

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. I went ahead and got the .4, 2" brushed mtl Titan and man it's cool. I'm ready for anather one! It was perfect while flacid and a bit too tight while erect but I didn't mind. A little tenderness the next day never bothers me, lol.

She wasn't too sure about a cock ring so I bought a vibrating streatchy "one time use" one. I guess they are only made to go around your cock because I put it on limp around my balls and cock and as soon as I got hard it snapped and flew across the room. bzzzz..spling..thud...thud.
I tied it back together and it stayed on just long enough for us to realize we must have a real vibrating cock ring!

I surprised her with the Titan and she has requested I wear it almost every time we have sex now. I gather she likes it hitting on her clit during sex. The only drawback is that I get a bit too large for her while wearing it, not that we let that interfear, lol.

I can say don't fall asleep after wards with it on but I did find that it is possible to remove it even if your hard if in dire need. This isn't the most comfortable thing to do but forced ejaculation wasn't possible since I was so swollen the skin on my shaft was too tight to streatch but if you pull it up the shaft toward the head streatching your balls out and then back off a little while holding your balls that should loosen the pressure just enough to squeeze one nut out. {Worse Case Scenerio}

Hi everyone.

First timer to the site, and to the whole cock ring thing, but after reading Freddy's reviews of the Gear Essential line of rings, I've decided to take the plunge. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a first time ring? I'm leaning toward the .4" Titan, and I'm liking the look of the charcoal finish. Any opinions?

Also, quick question on the sizing. After several tests and measurements, I comfortably measure anywhere from 6.5-7 inches circumfrence, which translates to about 2.1-2.29 inches diameter. Now, I'm not huge down there, about average in length and girth, but I am a little on the chubby side, and it seems to me like that would make a lot of the difference in the sizing. Is that a correct assumption? Cause unless weight accounts for a lot of it, there's no way I should be ordering a 2.25.

Thanks for the help in advance. I'm snagging this and a pocket rocket to surprise my fiance for valentine's day and introduce a little bit of extra "oomph" in the bedroom. If everything goes well, I'll be back to tell everyone how it went!

Thanks all,

Synth
