What Does a Penis Ring Do?
The point in a cock ring is to provide fuller and longer lasting erections, keeping the pleasure going for longer. Basically, an erection is just the penis filling up with blood, which makes it hard. A cock ring applies pressure to the base of the penis, causing the blood vessels to tighten, and meaning the blood leaves the penis more slowly, keeping your hard-on harder for longer. It’s a simple and totally non-invasive way to heighten and intensify an erection.
What is a Vibrating Cock Ring?
A vibrating cock ring does exactly what a standard cock ring does, but adds pleasurable vibrations into the mix. The high-quality silicone surface feels great on skin, while the internal motor gives pleasurable vibrations that can be enjoyed by both the wearer and their partner. We-Vibe Verge has a specially designed shape so it directs vibrations to the perineum (the sensitive area of skin between the anus and the balls – the taint) for added sensation.
How To Put on a Stimulation Ring
It’s important to know how to use a cock ring – and the good news is that it’s not difficult. It simply depends on what type of cock ring you have. Our Pivot is worn on the shaft – just apply a little water-based lube – such as our silky smooth lube - to both the ERECT penis and the toy, and slip the ring over the head to rest at the base of the shaft. The toy is then in place to offer clitoral stimulation to a partner during penetration. We-Vibe Verge is slightly more complicated, but offers highly pleasurable stimulation to the perineum (the taint) for the wearer. To use the toy, put it on BEFORE you’re hard: lube up the toy, then insert one testicle at a time through the ring, then the penis. It’s advisable to not wear a cock ring for more than around 20 minutes at a time. It’s also a good idea to trim your pubic hair before using a cock ring – it can sting if a long pube gets entangled in the ring! When cleaning your cock ring, simply wash with gentle soap and water, or use a specially formulated cleaning solution such as our cleaning formula.
Which Vibrating Ring Should I Choose?
Pivot
A smooth ring in a stylish Midnight Blue, Pivot is made from high-quality silicone and is designed to deliver powerful vibrations that can be enjoyed by both the wearer and their sexual partner. It is particularly suitable for clitoral stimulation, great for hands free fun during penetration. The toy is rechargeable, so there’s no need for wasteful disposable batteries, and a low power alert so you know when it needs charging. Stretchy and comfortable, it feels good on the penis, and is app-enabled, meaning that you can use it with the We-Vibe App to change vibration settings – or even customize vibrations by tuning your toy in to your favorite music. To use, add a little water-based lube and slide it over the head of the erect penis, down the shaft to rest at the bottom.
Verge
Coated in sleek, Slate-colored silicone, Verge feels great on skin and is easy to clean. Waterproof and simple to wash, just wash with gentle soap and water or use a specially designed cleaning formula such as our cleaning solution. The toy has a unique shape, developed to stimulate the perineum with its intense vibrations – the soft, sensitive erogenous zone between the testicles and the anus – during wear. The toy is rechargeable, giving 2 hours of play on a single charge, and has a low power alert so you won’t be caught out by an empty battery. Connect your toy to our free smartphone app to control your toy with the simple tap of a screen rather than fiddling with buttons in the heat of the moment. The app lets you easily cycle through different vibration patterns or even customize your own vibrations to the beat of your favorite tunes.
Why is Silicone So Great?
Silicone is a high-quality and hygienic material for sex toys, so a silicone cock ring is a good choice. Silicone – unlike cheaper alternatives such as TPE – can be completely cleaned and sterilized between uses. Cheaper materials are more porous, meaning that bacteria can actually get inside the toy and multiply. Super gross - this is a toy designed to be used intimately and it’s worth paying for quality. Silicone feels wonderful on the skin, silky smooth and easy to clean. Always use a water-based lubricant with a silicone vibrating cock ring or other silicone toys.
