I like the rigid options over the flexible ones, although the effort to put them on increases. The smallest one was my wedding band which takes some time to put on - lots of manipulation to get the corona through. Once on, I like the look, whether in the open or under a thin layer of Lycra fabric.
When going that tight, my limiting factor seems to be skin irritation which can kick in after a while. Flow may also be restricted so a little care may be required there! The first time I tried, the urethera was completely blocked resulting in a moment of passion being fully contained within my body. Once flacid, I was able to remove the ring with no subsequent effects. That occurred only once.
Oh I do love my rings but the best is my gland ring. I have a small head which is good and bad. Ring size is about a mans large ring size. So I can go to a jewelry store and ask for rings. But telling the salesperson its not for my finger. The looks are fun when they understand where I plan to wear it.
But I do love the look of a metal ring. I have not tried a plastic or rubber type. But I have made my own and added extra things to the ring. When flaccid the extra things I have added move and dangle great. But when I am erect its a flag that waves back and forth.
I tried and gave up on my wedding band again after commenting above as it was so tight. I did also think of a jewellery store visit and looked online but haven't got to the point of visiting in person. Certainly some rings are bigger and would be better for the eleventh 'finger', but I'm not sure I'm bold enough to hint at the intended application!
Just discovered my 28 mm glans ring is no match for the Alexandria Bay surf. Gone in 60s. No problem for normal wear but being tossed by waves exposes a security vulnerability. As I was walking out of the National Park, a guy was walking in with a metal detector. Probably not what he's hoping to find!
Given they're hardware store items, that won't be an issue, although the possibility of downsizing would require broadening my shopping horizons to get something different to the basic sizes.
I had eight initially (bought them as four-packs) and experimented with different numbers up to all eight. I generally wear one under swimwear to emphasise the corona (no longer on this trip, LOL) or match the number to complement the number of cock rings I have on, which are a matching style.
I could go back to my box of assorted rubber o-rings but I just love the look, weight and rigidity of the metal options.
This has always been my concern as well. My flaccid size is much smaller diameter than erect diameter. I worry because I like th e weight of metal, but the risk if enlarged would be dangerous.
This was my fear too. I found kind of a compromise.
I got a set cockring and glan ring in blue. Like to wear them at the sauna.
If Im hard, its providing restriction below the glan. But the sweat makes it too easy to slip. While I live the look of it (the set in blue), Im mostly never wear it because it does not stay well in place. Its more inconvenience than other thing. And of course, not wearing for too long of hard.
Though, the cockring, I can have it 24/7 if I want. Found the perfect size.
