Why You Need to Add a Penis Ring to Your Sex Toy Collection (Just Trust Us on This One)

Penis rings are an oft-overlooked gem within the world of sex toys. Because many of us get so caught up in shopping rabbits ( and bullets and dildos and clitoris vibrators) our mental image of the sex toy space becomes reduced to these frequently-shopped staples. And of course, in the rare moment that we do spring for an out-of-the-box toy, we opt for butt plugs, anal beads, ben wa balls — something that feels out-of-the-ordinary (and if we’re being honest, maybe a little 50 Shades-inspired, too). Lost in this sea of notable must-haves though, is the penis ring — a toy that’s just as valuable, just as fun, and perhaps even more useful and versatile for playing with your partner than some of the more obvious toys on the market (especially if you or your partner has a penis).

Designed to fit snugly around the member (penis or strap-on), the penis ring ups the intensity of standard stimulation — adding just enough tightness to make things a little more fun. Many penis rings take things a step further, coming complete with a handful of vibration modes your partner can cycle through to switch up sensations as they see fit. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Because the penis ring isn’t designed to merely stimulate its wearer — it’s crafted with both of you in mind. Given this, many penis rings come with vibrating attachments designed to stimulate you while your partner’s wearing it. (And those attachments can get as delightfully bulky or unobtrusively subtle as you’d like them to be.)

The truth about the penis ring is that it’s more than just a simple sex toy — it’s an invitation for you and your partner to come together (and come together) and experiment with something new. Because while penis rings can function as standalone toys, they’re best experienced together. Only when there’s two of you can you know exactly how much pleasure a penis ring has to offer.
