OXBALLS AIR Airflow Cock Ring – Black Ice

The OXBALLS AIR is a lightweight cock ring with a ring of open vents around its body, so it covers less skin and weighs less than a solid band of the same size. It's moulded in OXBALLS' stretchy PLUS+SILICONE blend, and this Black Ice version has a dark, see-through finish. It suits guys who like the snug hold of a ring but find thick, heavy rings too much to wear for long, and anyone who wants a ring that can also take electro contacts.

Why the vents matter

Most stretchy rings are a solid doughnut of material. The AIR keeps the doughnut shape but cuts holes through it, which does three practical things. It drops the weight, so the ring feels less noticeable once it's on. It lets air and lube move through the material instead of trapping sweat against the skin. And according to the supplier, the holes take 4 mm electro contacts, so if you already own an e-stim unit the ring can double as an electrode holder. If you don't use electro, the vents are simply there for comfort.

The PLUS+SILICONE feel

PLUS+SILICONE is OXBALLS' blend of TPR and silicone. Compared with pure silicone it's softer and much stretchier, so the ring rolls on without a fight and gives a little with your body. Compared with plain TPR it has a smoother, sleeker surface. Expect a squishy, rubbery feel rather than the firm grip of a steel or thick silicone ring.

Putting on a cock ring like this

Put it on while soft or only partly hard; that's far easier than stretching it over a fully hard penis. Add a little lube to the inside of the ring, then choose your fit. Around the shaft only, it gives a light squeeze at the base. Around the shaft and balls together, it pulls everything forward and gives a fuller look under a jock or fitted underwear. Start with short sessions, aim to take it off within about 30 minutes, and remove it straight away if you feel numbness, coldness or pain, or notice your skin changing colour. To take it off, stretch it gently with two fingers rather than rolling it hard.

Sizing and colours

The AIR is a single stretch size, and OXBALLS' listings don't give an inner diameter for this ring. Very stretchy material covers a range of builds, but if you know you need a lot of room, read our sizing guide before buying. Prefer a lighter look? The same ring comes in Cool Ice and Space Blue.

Care

Wash it in warm, soapy water after each use, and run water through the vents so nothing dries inside them. Let it air-dry fully, then store it on its own in a cloth pouch; blended materials can pick up colour from other toys if they sit pressed together. Water-based lube is the simple choice. The supplier says silicone lube also works with this blend, but test a small patch first if you're unsure.
