The 9 Best Cock Rings for Longer-Lasting Erections and Stronger Orgasms, According to Sex Experts

Pros

• Has 10 vibration options, the most on this list
• App-compatibility can make changing intensity levels easier
• Waterproof

Cons

• More expensive than other vibrating rings

Variety is the spice of life—and no cock ring offers more pleasure possibilities than the We-Vibe Pivot 2. “The ring has 10 different powerful, rumbly vibration options that can be controlled through the We-Vibe app,” says Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, sexologist, author of The New Sex Bible, and host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast. “If your partner has a clitoris, it will stimulate it during P-in-V sex.” Plus, it’s easy for either partner to change the intensity level with a simple tap in the app, rather than trying to fit a hand between bodies to press a small button.

This ring is also made of body-safe silicone that will stretch comfortably around your shaft (pro tip: water-based lube can make the sliding-on process even easier). And, unlike battery-powered cock rings, this one is rechargeable with a 60 minute run time, so the vibrations will be going strong for as long as you do (good news since cock rings can help you last longer). That also means it’s waterproof, so you can wear it during shower sex.

Pros

• Simple to use
• Waterproof
• Can wear multiple rings at once

Cons

• Does not vibrate

If you’ve never used a cock ring before, you probably don’t want to spend a ton of money on a toy you may not even like. And you don’t have to. For less than $12, this pack of three latex rings gives you a ton of bang for your buck.

“These rings will get the job done without any bells or whistles,” says Zachary Zane, a sex expert for Grindr and toy tester for Men’s Health. “The ring is stretchy, but still firm, so it doesn't tear or break (or at least, it hasn't yet for me).” He also appreciates that these rings are small, discreet, easy to clean, and, obviously, waterproof since there’s no electrical component.

Zane recommends this no-frills option to men who either struggle with getting and/or staying hard due to erectile dysfunction, or those who want to last longer and avoid premature ejaculation. “It absolutely enhanced the experience because I do last longer with these rings,” he says, adding that he plans to use them whenever he wants to extend sex with a partner.

These rings are also great for more advanced users who want a vibration-free sex toy. You can use all three rings at once (one around the shaft behind the scrotum, one around the shaft in front of the scrotum, and one around the scrotum) to experiment with different sensations and amounts of blood flow.

Pros

• Low cost makes it an ideal vibrating option for beginners
• Pleasure knobs lining the ring provide addition stimulation to the shaft
• Waterproof

Cons

• Not made from the same high-quality materials as other rings

The Screaming O Disposable Vibrating Cock Ring is a one-and-done option that’s also ideal for beginners. You can see if you like the feeling of vibration against your penis (and if you’re wearing it with a partner, they enjoy the added stimulation), before shelling out on a pricier one. This vibrating toy provides similar pressure and vibration as other cock rings on this list for a fraction of the price.

In fact, the vibrations are shockingly powerful. Plus, the pleasure knobs lining the ring double down on sensations helping the toy really earn its name as the Screaming O.

The main downside of this product is that it is made from a porous jelly material—fine for one-time use, but suboptimal for multiple sex sessions (because it cannot be completely cleaned). In other words, you really need to dispose of this toy post-use.

Pros

• Provides up to 60+ minutes of vibration
• Made from a super stretchy body-safe material
• Waterproof

Cons

• Aesthetically less attractive and more gadget-like than other options

Screaming O has been selling some of the best cock rings for 15 years. The Charged BigO Ring is reusable and great quality for the price. Our editors love the super stretchy material that's flexible so it's easy to take off, but still snug. And its 60-plus minutes of vibration time means you can spend less time charging this, and more time enjoying it.

Pros

• Optional vibration for additional stimulation
• Features two vibration speeds and three patterns
• Bullet vibrator can be removed, giving you two toys in one

Cons

• Not rechargeable
• Splashproof, but not waterproof

If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it. But with the Lovehoney Bionic Bullet Vibrating Cock Ring, you can put two on it! One of the rings goes around the base of your penis, and the other goes behind your testicles. “The two rings also have raised nodules for heightened sensation around the testicles and penis,” says Bobby Box, a sex educator in Toronto.

Plus, you can slide the optional bullet vibrator into the top of the cock ring for even more sensation possibilities—for you and your partner. They can choose between two vibration speeds and three patterns to personalize their clitoral or perineal stimulation. Or, you can remove the bullet vibrator entirely and use it separately, or stash it in your nightstand.

You can use the side + button to choose between eight different vibration patterns, but to make changing intensity levels even easier, New York-based sex therapist Casey Tanner, LCPC, suggests using the Lelo app.

But what really sets this ring apart is its runtime. On a full charge, you can use this ring for up to 2 hours. So, if you like taking your sweet time with your sexual experiences, or plan to go for multiple rounds in a night, this is the ring you want along for the ride.

Pros

• Allows for stimulation of multiple areas (penis, butt, perineum) at once
• Great for solo and couples play
• Affordable price given that it’s two toys in one

Cons

• Neither the butt plug nor the cock ring vibrate

As far as anal sex toys are concerned, sex toy manufacturer B-Vibe is king. So the fact that they’ve created a product—the B-Vibe Snug & Rub Penis Ring—that combines their anal product prowess with a cock ring, is awesome news for your sex life.

To use it, slide the ring portion over your shaft, allow the connective silicone string to run alongside your taint, and then use lubricant to pop the plug into your peach. Three cheers for multiple erogenous zones stimulation!

Notably, the butt plug is B-Vibe’s signature weighted butt plug, which is weighted and thus provides a "full" and satisfying feeling. Some testers say it takes some time getting used to, but the results (i.e., orgasms) are totally worth the learning curve.

Pros

• Great option for solo, partner, or multi-partnered play
• Dual-motor control allows for extra customization

Cons

• Girth and length of the prostate massager may be too big for some

It's a cock ring! It's a prostate massager! It's...the Nexus Simul8 Dual Motor Prostate Massager with Cock Ring! “This prostate massager has a double penis ring attached, which provides vibrating sensations throughout your nether regions,” says Justin Lehmiller, PhD, a social psychologist, research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, and author of Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life. “It can be used alone or with a partner during a variety of sexual activities and is worth considering for those who want combined P-spot and penile stimulation.”

It also has dual-motor control, which allows you to customize the vibration and stimulation for each area, he says, thus allowing the opportunity to explore new things each time and adjust to your comfort and preferences.
