Oxballs GlowDick LED Cock Ring – Clear Ice

The Oxballs GlowDick in Clear Ice is a cock ring with a light built in. A small, bright LED sits in the curved ring, and because the material is see-through, the glow spreads through the whole piece. It's made for dark rooms, clubs, parties and photos, and it still does what a stretchy ring does: sits snugly at the base and gives a bit of lift. Clear Ice is the most neutral version, letting the light read as plain white.

Material and fit

Oxballs moulds it from its plus+SILICONE blend, a soft, very stretchy mix of TPR and silicone. It feels velvety rather than rubbery and pulls back into shape after stretching. The hole has a circumference of about 10 cm (4 in) at rest, and the blend gives it plenty of room to stretch from there. The ring is curved rather than flat, so it follows the body, and the upper side has small textured nubs that add grip and help keep it from rolling.

How to put on this cock ring

It's easiest to fit while soft or partly hard. Add a little water-based lube to the inside of the ring, stretch it open with two fingers and slide it down to the base of the shaft. Some people also take it behind the balls; if you do, put the balls through first, then the shaft. The LED should face up or outward, where it will be seen. It should feel snug, never painful. If you notice numbness, coldness or a change in skin colour, take it off.

The LED

The light runs on batteries, which come included, so it works straight from the box. Oxballs calls it "super-bright", and in a dim room it's the main event. The light is for show only and doesn't vibrate. Check the instructions in the pack for how to switch it on and off and how to change the batteries, so you aren't working it out mid-evening.

Cleaning around the light

Keep the LED dry. Wash the ring with warm, soapy water, working around the light housing rather than soaking the whole piece, then rinse and let it air-dry. Don't put it in a dishwasher or boil it. Store it in a cloth pouch away from other toys, since soft TPR blends can pick up dye and lint.

Other colours and who it suits

The GlowDick also comes in Blue Ice, Pink Ice and Yellow Ice, each tinting the glow. It's a fun pick for someone who already likes stretchy rings and wants a statement piece. If you're after firm constriction or vibration, a thicker silicone ring or a vibrating ring will do that job more effectively.

A few practical notes for nights out: bring a spare set of the right batteries, keep a small travel bottle of water-based lube with you, and test the light at home first so you know how long it stays bright. Since the material is soft, store the ring flat rather than stretched over anything between uses.
