Perhaps one of the most multifunctional toys out there, but one that does not get the credit it deserves, is the super-versatile c**k ring. The reason penis rings should be considered prized possessions for those who own one is for the sheer practicality it provides to both the wearer and the one on the receiving end.

So we thought we would compile a list explaining why this multi-purposeful sex toy is such a good one to have. But first, let's explain how the magic penis ring works.
What is a penis ring and how does it work?
Essentially, penis rings are meant to be worn around either the shaft or the person's testicle (they can even be worn around both the base of the penis and the sack!) to make erections harder, bigger and longer-lasting. They come in different sizes, colours and materials so there really is something for everyone. While maintaining a hard erection is its primary purpose, it can be used for a multitude of other reasons with or without the presence of a second person.
The many benefits of penis rings
Rings can be an effective treatment against erectile dysfunction by slowing the blood flow back from the erect penis, in turn allowing it to stay harder for a longer period of time. But this isn't to say that those who use penis rings have a hard time keeping it up. In fact, penis rings can be used to enhance the goods you already have by making them momentarily appear larger in size.
The increase in size is modest but definitely noticeable. What's more, as the blood becomes trapped, erections are consequently harder and 'stronger', so to speak.
Not only is it used to treat ED and to boost your self confidence if you are lacking any but it also, quite simply, feels good. When your member is receiving pleasure, either orally, manually or through penetration, sensations are heightened. As a result, orgasms can feel that much more pleasurable thanks to rings.
Finally, c**k rings can come equipped with internal vibrators that can really take the experience to the next level. So even with the absence of a human penis, you can fit your vibrating penis ring onto a dildo and go on the ride of your life!
Safety tips
Like with every other sex toy, make sure you follow certain safety tips to avoid getting yourself in undesirable situations. For one, it is not a very good idea to wear a penis ring for an extended amount of time. Choose one that fits right and use a little bit of lube when putting it on to avoid hurting yourself in the process.
Finally, if at any point you feel pain or discomfort or notice any bruising, take it off!
