Oxballs Cock-T Cock Ring

The OXBALLS Cock-T in orange is a soft, stretchy cock ring made from pure platinum silicone, and it's one of the easiest rings to start with. There's no metal, no snaps and no sizing chart to agonise over: the thick silicone band stretches over you and then hugs snugly without biting. The bright orange is easy to spot in a drawer and hard to lose in the sheets.

Why a stretchy ring is easier than a rigid one

A steel or hard plastic ring has a fixed size. Too big and it does nothing; too small and it's awkward to remove. A silicone ring like the Cock-T gives a little in both directions, so one size covers a wide range of bodies, and if you need it off quickly you can stretch it and slide it away. OXBALLS makes it thick and squishy rather than thin like an elastic band, which spreads the pressure over a wider strip of skin. The surface is smooth with a gentle grip, so it stays in place instead of rolling.

Putting a cock ring on for the first time

Put it on while you're soft or only partly hard; that's far easier than trying once you're fully aroused. Add a little water-based lube to the inside of the ring. For a shaft-only fit, stretch it open with two fingers of each hand and roll it down to the base. For the more common cock-and-balls fit, pass one testicle through, then the other, then guide the shaft through and settle the band against your body. It should feel like a firm hug. Begin with 10 to 15 minutes, then build up, staying under about half an hour until you know how your body responds. Take it off straight away if you notice numbness, coldness, pain or a change in skin colour.

Size and fit

Unstretched, the inside of the ring measures 4.25 in around, roughly 1.35 in across, and the band is about an inch deep. That's a moderate starting size that most people can stretch over comfortably. If it still feels too tight when stretched, or you're very new to rings, an adjustable style is a gentler first step. Our cock ring size guide explains how to measure yourself before choosing.

What it does and doesn't do

The Cock-T is a plain ring: no vibration, no texture, no separate ball strap. Its job is to sit snug at the base and push everything forward for a fuller look, and many people simply like the feeling of steady pressure. If you want buzz for a partner as well, a vibrating ring is the better buy.

Looking after the silicone

Wash it in warm soapy water after every use. OXBALLS says it can also go in the dishwasher, which is handy if you want a hotter clean. Let it dry, then keep it in a cloth pouch or a clean cotton sock, away from other toys, because pure silicone can turn tacky when it sits against other silicone for a long time. Water-based, hybrid and oil-based lubes are all fine with it; OXBALLS doesn't recommend silicone lube.
