As I trawl through adornments for sale, I come across interesting ones every now and again. With the triple prong claw shape of this small sound, I figured that it would be a worthy additional to the collection, so I picked one up. It has since become available from myriad online sellers indicating that it’s made by a generic sex toy manufacturer. The tapered tip starts small and increases in diameter to just under 8mm (7.
OK, so I have been on a sounding kick lately! I know it’s not for everyone but I do enjoy the feeling as a well sized sound slides in - it’s just not like any other sensation. I’ve admitted before that I am not an advanced player when it comes to sounding so imagine my delight when I came across this Etsy listing for a very long, gradually tapered sounding rod!
OK, I don’t use sounds very often, but when I do, I like to have a nice long set of sounds to feel more than just the sensation of the sound passing the urethra. This set is awesome for this! The set, coming in sizes of 5mm to 12mm, is easy on the eyes thanks to the clean, crisp look of glass. Made of pyrex glass, they are also plenty durable to reduce any fears of shards breaking off inside a horribly uncomfortable place.
This cool set of sounds is great to have. They are nice and long so you can feel them deeper in the base of your shaft, and are thin enough to work for me. Coming in at 6mm and 7mm each, they are just the right size to feel a bit of stretch inside as they are inserted without being outright painful. One of the things I especially like about them is the twisted shape which adds a bit of texture as they slide in.
Suddenly, this glans ring started appearing in random browsings as I looked for new adornments - so I had to oblige and pick it up. Available from a number of online retailers on AliExpress and Etsy, this stainless steel glans ring is a typical “band” design that has been modified with a slash to follow the contours of the glans better. The design is clever and I’m surprised by how much I appreciated the way the proportions fit the shape of my head so well.
An interesting Etsy find while browsing for… whatever, this weighted ring stuck out quickly. The interesting feature of this weight is the fact that it’s just a 1.25" stainless steel ball. At that size, it would be easy enough to wear all day long and even potentially disguise itself as your glans if detected through your pants. Unfortunately, the pictures on the listing weren’t super clear as to how this works.
This somewhat interesting glans ring features design elements along the whole body that add interest. I’m not sure how to describe be design - somewhere along the lines of Greek Parthenon style. The ring is a little large for an all day glans ring, but it fits well when erect. The design is interesting indeed, though I wonder if it would slide off if donned during insertion activities. That’s probably not something to leave to chance!
Described as a chastity trainer, this cock and shaft combination cage is right up my alley because of my affinity to cock strap/shaft ring combinations. As with many cheap cages, this one is liable to pinch as you manouvre into it… but once it is on, the issue tends to subside. The cock ring on this device is perfectly sized, and the shaft ring matches at 1.35 inches. Unlike my other “trainer” cages, this one has a shaft cage that runs 1.
I love the tug of a heavy glans weight all day long - oftentimes the more the better. This adornment promises all the stretch I can take weighing in at almost a pound and a half! This ring is a two segment ring, like most ball stretchers, thay can be closed by tightening the allen head bolts holding the two halves together. Trying to put this ring on is a mixed bag.
Yet another target of opportunity repurpose, this adornment comes courtesy of AliExpress made to serve the purpose of a chandelier crystal. In this case, it also turns out to be a great size for a shaft ring. Who wouldn’t give it a shot for only $3.50 to your door? As a shaft ring, the crystal performs admirably if not uncomfortably. They are clear, but definitely not cut for comfort around your member given the semi-sharp edges and unrounded interior ring.
This adornment is about 1/4 pound of ridiculous. I don’t know why I bought it other than the fact that it was less than $5 and I was bored. This ultra stretchy cock ring is made of the typical jelly cheap, crappy rings are made of - a material that is often not body safe nor able to be placed in direct contact with certain materials or they will “melt” together.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Such is life and such is the result of experimentation with industrial components as adornments. While browsing AliExpress for items to repurpose into rings, I came across these shaft collars used to lock movement of rotating assemblies in place on a shaft. A few dollars later, I had about ten collars headed my way. The experiment was hit or miss… with mostly misses. Naturally, these shaft collars were not cut for comfort, so they feature angular and sharp edges.
What do rock climing and cock rings have in common? No idea… but I do know that you can find an aluminum ring made for rock climing that serves as an excellent cock ring. This adornment features a smooth black surface and imitates large wire cock rings with its almost 1/2" thickness… but can be had at a practical steal of only $5 from AliExpress and about a month’s wait for it to arrive.
AliExpress marketplace is a target rich environment for adornments. Given that many rings one would purchase online ultimiately originate in China (except a few standouts that make their gear in shop like Ballistic Metal and Blue Collar Fetish Wear), it’s a great place to find the same fare but for far cheaper prices and often times before it is available widespread here at home. In this case, the maker chose to take two stainless wire rings and bend them (as my favorite wire cock rings go).
Those that have collected cages a while probably noticed that some of the base rings are boxy but curved… and then had the same question I did: Why don’t they just make regular rings that way? Well, sure enough, they finally hit the market. This adornment features the same curve as my favorite wire cock ring but built upon a foundation of a wider style band. This gives it the boxy appearance and also adds to the comfort that the ring provides.
This interesting adornment features larger stainless steel balls soldered together to form a firm ring. The design is interesting and the size of the individual stainless beads reduces the pressure one would expect to feel from such a design. All in all, a decent addition to the collection.
I’ve seen this design ring for years, but I’m more a silver or white gold person rather than gold. However, I do still think the design of a polished gold donut ring withna solitary gem is a great idea for adorning my manhood. Interestingly, I enjoyed my solid brass cock ring from Ballistic Metal so much I decided to purchase one of these… and couldn’t even find one. Finally I located one and scooped it up for my collection.
This stainless ring features a center section of raised/rippled black as an inlay. One may think the edges of the ripples may be uncomfortable, but thankfully that is not the case. Interestingly, I had this ring on my Amazon shopping list for years and forgot all about it… and it eventually became unavailable. As with the scarcity principal, not being able to buy it anymore meant that I really had to have it.
Cheap target of opportunity purchases on AliExpress sometimes work out for me. While browsing one day, I came across this jewelry style beaded shaft ring. It’s thin and cheap, but still visually interesting. Unfortunately, the sizing was a bit off and the ring is too small to use comfortably as a shaft ring. Perhaps if it were wider, I could get away with it… but the narrow profile hurts when things harden up.
This interesting concept features an adjustable glans ring from a out 1.2 inches to 1.5 inches. Unfortunately, the size is too large for a glans ring and won’t quite work for me as a shaft ring. When adjusted to a larger size, the gap in the ring guarantees a better fit… but also pinching and discomfort!
It’s a neat idea to crown your corona with an adornment, literally… but this ring is far too stretchy and light weight to do much. It provides no constriction and the stretchiness makes it much more likely to slide or fall off - especially while getting down to business.
A cool concept for a glans or shaft ring that loses a lot in translation due to the excessive stretch of the silicone. At 1.3" and a lot of stretch, it has a hard time triggering even modest constriction and engorgement.
A target of opportunity while browsing for adornments. This ring is a less-stretchy silicone studded inside with magnets along the circumference. Perhaps the magnets enhance the experience or your erection… I have no idea, but I do know that this ring is fairly comfortable thanks to its flexibility and the 1.75" size coupled with a slight stretch offers decent engorgement.
I’m always on the lookout for alternative adornments to add to my collection. In this case, a US size 16 finger ring doubles as an attractive glans ring! Unfortunately, a ring as thin as this isn’t as attractive as it could be. A typical glans ring had more height and width to show off the design as it augments the corona of your head. This still serves that purpose, but just not as well.
