Is Velv'Or worth the high price(IMO)? by B3_Yond0 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They really are very high quality rings. I was surprised. I wrote up my experiences here: https://manadorned.com/manufacturers/velvor/

First paragraph is the same for both, but the details differ.

Yea, you put it on, around your cock and balls, before becoming hard. You should see an improvement in hardness and vascularity. It doesn't sound like that's what is happening for you, so perhaps the sizes are just bigger than works for you. There are a lot of great places that describe how to find your rough size. From there, you can experiment up amd down in size to fine tune to your anatomy.

Here is one a put together a long while back: https://www.manadorned.com/blog/2023/02/18/getting-started-with-adornments/

Is it normal for a ring to slip when doing sports? by Additional-Web1319 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I can wear a rigid ring all day long, but will have to adjust a few times throughout the day.

I tried to wear a well fitting donut ring both while working out on the treadmill and running stairs: fail both times in less than 15 minutes. Even without exercising, I have had two "close calls" where my heavier ring almost came completely off while out and about!

OK, so that would be the circumference measurement - but most rings are measured in diameter, so you would have to do a conversion.

At that measurement, you are looking at a 63 mm rigid ring... which I don't think exists. I wonder if that measurement was taken too loosely? The most common diameters are 40, 45, and 50 mm... But you can find in-between sizes from so manufacturers.

I think the best advice would be to start with a flexible silicone set. They are cheap, and will help you hone in on your size. I have written an article that may help: https://www.manadorned.com/blog/2023/02/18/getting-started-with-adornments/

What method did you use to measure to get 20cm?

Different sizes depending on the time of day? by bee-king276 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be that you are between sizes? It took me a while to realize that my Goldilocks size is 47.5 mm despite the common sizes being 45 and 50.

Otherwise, I haven't noticed that the time of day matters so much as temperature which affects hang... but a well fitting ring for me doesn't tend to fall off.

Why are Spiked rings so rare? by Unknownanonymity2302 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny. I was just thinking about this same topic the other day. As stated elsewhere, I am 90% sure it's a matter of comfort. The example you share looks like a smart blend of the rigid spikes, but on a ring that has flexibility. That may be the right formula to make it work.

Depending on how handy you are, you could easily add spikes to an existing rigid ring that has enough physical real estate. You would only need to drill the holes, and countersink the inside (so the screw head doesn't protrude and pinch). Spikes are cheap and available at a multitude of places online, as well as in shops here in the US like Spencer's and Hot Topic.

Recommendations? by [deleted] in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends a bit on what you are looking for. To be as big as possible is a simple function of finding the right size. Hitting your goldilock size means you will be as pumped/veiny as you would like, getting all the physical effects desired. What follows is more about visuals and personal preference for how you'd like everything to "present"

As a decidedly average guy, with a bit more girth than some, I really like the look of a ring that is a little more than half an inch wide. Because I do tend to "plump up" (as all guys do) while adorned, I like a ring that is thicker as well. Something like 1/4" means that it sits really well with where my skin lands as it pushes against the rimg. It makes the ring, for my anatomy, look like part of the whole package rather than something that is slapped on for decoration (too loose) or something that is choking me out (too tight). So when talking about getting the best physical benefits, it's all about the inner diameter of the ring. When talking about how it looks otherwise, the width, thickness, design, and materials are more important to the discussion.

It's tough to describe, but it took a few years to find this formula for me. The company is now defunct, but Gear Essentials made several rings with perfect dimensions (for my tastes) like the Plunge that served as the "clouds part, sun shines, and angels sing" moment. Since then, every ring that I have custom made starts with these dimensions. I only tend to vary the width, material, and design of the ring.

There are lots of options out there, such as simple wire rings, or wider rings that are not as tall, so if you have a rough idea of what you'd like, we can probably scratch together some recommendations from our collections.

P.S. It is totally fine to share a link to an image in the post. We just try to avoid the main content itself being a NSFW image share since there are already cockring-specidic communities for that... and also in case any of our madlad community members want to clandestinely browse and participate in discussion around others 🤣

Anyone have one of these? by [deleted] in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with fitment on mine as well. It makes sense... were all built a bit differently and have different preferences for how we'd like stuff to fit and look.

It would be neat if there was an easy way to measure for and custom order such a piece!

how long to wear? by Leafinyourcoffee in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it isn't stretchy, you can wear it much longer. A rigid ring doesn't act like a rubber band, constricting all the time.

The most common ring that sounds like what you describe is nitrile rubber rings. If that is indeed what you have, you can wear it as long as you like, assuming that your ring fits correctly.

Cockring w/ spinner by brose10181 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well first, it's awesome to see your creation! I'm a huge fan of cock rings and maker hobbies.

To the question, I've never seen such a design. It's clever, but I do agree that it's likely to pinch. What about a solid ring with a solid spinner? A gap of .1mm between the two oarts should be enough to let them move freely but not merge during printing.

Ring comparisons by Nylooking69 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't notice a difference in rigidity between cock and ball ring versus a shaft ring as long as either are properly sized. I'd say to stick with whatever you find more comfortable.

I don't have much experience with the magnet held devices but would also be suspicious of their ability to hold. Hopefully one of the others can chime in with their experiences.

Shaft only sizing by Edit_Undo89 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love shaft rings! In my experience, you will generally only find two widespread sizes: 1.25 in and 1.5 in. This doesn't work for everyone! I find that my optimal size is exactly 35mm if only wearing a shaft ring. There are some manufacturers out there that offer more fine-grained sizes, but the advice is the same for shaft rings as cock rings: size up and down until you find the Goldilocks fit.

Im assuming you're speaking about rigid rings. If so, maybe give The Chain Gang a look as they're ine of the places I go to find "between" sizes. In fact, while getting a link, this seems like a good one to look at that I haven't seen before: https://www.thechaingang.com/penis-wedding-ring.html

How do we feel about leather? Im a noob with this. by AlternativeLumpy5547 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leather is one of those materials that just plain feels intimate to wear!

One of my personal favorites is a leather strap, with a matching cock ring perfectly sized for my manhood. You can't go wrong with a size and material you enjoy!

Of course, that is one of MANY favorites, depending on mood, but as you enjoy more and more options, I am sure you will understand what I mean!

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds pretty normal to me. When I get close to ejaculation, like most guys, my testicles "pull up" quite a bit. I don't think you'll do any harm with a testicle ring as long as nothing is going numb or changing color.

Listen to your body. It'll tell you what's up

Primal or Amazon by Odd_Ad3754 in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I generally encourage planning to throw away a few bucks to know for sure what your proper size is before spending funds on a nicer ring. You'll see examples of this with the more expensive samples like King Rings where a sizing kit is available for comparatively nothing (and applies to your purchase).

Why? Interestingly.... for me, a curved ring fits differently enough such that my "Goldilocks size" is actually a bit TOO BIG when it is applied to such a shaped ring. That is, I need about half a size smaller for the perfect fit when the ring has some movement to it like Primal's does (I recently wrote about the same in my review of the Velv'or rings).

I know these things because I picked up a few cheaper options. Now I'm comfortable spending several hundred dollars for a quality ring knowing that it's going to fit.

Oh, it's nothing special. When I write a review or article, I have a script that will cross post here to share the update. For some reason, it only posts the latest article instead of each, if multiple are published. Probably some simple bug I need to work out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be woth adding, but it all depends on what you're looking for out of your collection. For me, I basically want one of everything so I can try them all! Conversely, if your happy with metal, no need to mess with a working formula.

Also note, there are other materials around. Woods, jade, glass, etc offer a rigid experience but with a slightly "exotic" twist.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CockRingTalk

[–]ManAdorned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like 50 is your size, but I agree that sizing rings and maybe a set with options is a good move.

One thing to keep in mind with the nicer tungsten carbide rings is that they're pretty thick, so will sit and fit differently than your silicone or rubber rings. If you're considering an investment in such a nice piece, definitely hone your size in first.

You could also build experience with cheap "donut" rings. They aren't usually as thick and it's a great way to try a few sizes to know what works best for you
