ManAdorned Stainless Hex Skeleton Cock Ring

Every now and again, a new design strikes my fancy and I decide that I’ve just GOT to make it. I had the idea of creating a skeletonized adornment featuring a hex pattern, knowing that it may not be very feasible to manufacture. But, fortune favors the bold so I decided to give this one a go! The design is a “hollowed out” cock ring with hex holes running through the full height of the ring. I was able to 3D print a few prototypes with success and, working with the CNC machining company, learned that the cost to machine such a complex design would be absolutely cost prohibitive. Instead, my contact at RapidDirect suggested that metal 3D printing would be the best technique in terms of materials and cost. Sure enough, the design came out fantastic!

ManAdorned Stainless Rivet Cock Ring

I’m finally getting around to writing about the custom rin I blogged about creating. I call this one the “rivet” design. Like most of my custom made rings, it features a design that just kind of came to me.

This particular design features the typical smoothly radiused inner profile but differs from others in that it has a raised “band” around the outside of the ring with spheres embedded within to give it a riveted-on look. I can’t quite describe the exact look I was going for, but something along the lines of an industrial shaft collar bolted into place. Of course, bolts (the hex heads) wouldn’t exactly be comfortable so I went with a rivet look. Especially interesting about this ring is the fact that it is my first mirror polished stainless ring from the folks over at RapidDirect. This is a new finish type instead of the Ra 0.4 finish I’ve done in the past. The polished finish looks striking and masculine - and I only wish I had the ability to leave the raised “collar” brushed finish to further accentuate the polish. Maybe I’ll go at it with some coarse grit sandpaper sometime and see how it turns out?

Velv'Or JNamo Vigor Violet 3D Printed Cock Ring

I have wanted a Velv’Or ring for a very long time. They’ve been around forever, but for whatever reason I just never pulled the trigger to pick one up. Why? I’m not super sure. I think my main turnoff was that they are plastic 3D printed cock rings but still command a premium price. Having picked up some rings from LeLuv which are decidedly lower quality rings, figured this was a cash grab. Shipping from Europe further raised the price, too.

Esculpta MUSE Tri-Band Silvertone Stack Medium

Have a look for summary of the large Esculpta MUSE tri-band set for a little bit more intro and history.

As I mentioned in my other review, I know my size super well. I took a small gamble on this medium size because sometimes ergonomic rings offer a bit more space thanks to the forward curve. Since a 1.75" adornment will still work for me (and produce a seriously intense erection), I figured it may be fun to get a set in the next size down just for the experience a tight fitting stackable ring that has a bit more width to it. Similar to the “large” size, these fit pretty true to a 1.75" nominal diameter ring.

Esculpta MUSE Tri-Band Triplet Stack Large

The Esculpta brand has been around for many years. Touted as an ultimate luxury in cock rings, they started their journey in the adornment space by offering a unique rubber tube-based design flanked with jewelry-style ends. Their asking price was always a bit high, and I found that I could get a similar design by modifying bracelets available cheaply on ebay example1 example1 example2 with the benefit of being a bit more my style. Since then, Esculpta has bounced into the “ergonomic” market by offering the uniquely shaped Muse series of stacked rings. Well then… that’s new! I forgot all about them for a long while but had some time to browse adornments lately so I snatched a set up once I saw that they were buy-two-get-one free.

fckme Polymer The Standart Cock Ring

I came across fckme a few months back while hanging out on reddit and finally posted a review of the Triple Fat Boy ring that I picked up as soon as I saw the shop. Much to my delight, Claude reached out thanking me for the review and we quickly struck up a conversation about the merits of adornments. I was delighted to learn that the fckme rings are hand-finished/ground because he is truly passionate about giving your manhood all the attention that it should have. Claude offered to send a few additional rings along since I appreciated the Triple Fat Boy (and our conversation!) so much.

Hard Man Outfitters Head Master Glans Weight

I don’t often wear glans rings, but when I do, I want to feel them all day long tugging on the end of my penis. The best way to do this is to add a bit of weight. My favorite in this arena is the eminently stackable HMO Heavy Donut, so as soon as I found the HMO Head Master Ring, you know I didn’t hesitate to buy!

Unlike the Heavy Donut, these no-frills weights feature only a brushed finish and slightly radiused corners. They are utilitarian in nature and are clearly design for the purpose not of adorning your manhood, but weighing it down.

Generic Silicone Shaft Rings

One of my absolute favorite glans ring is the Hardman Outfitters Heavy Donut. These things are great - stack them as much as you’d like to achieve the weighty pull the day is asking for. But those that have read through the review know that these things clack together when you’ve stacked several. I tried a few things to prevent them from doing so - from pulling them tight along the shaft to even trying to 3D print custom buffers. But why go through all that trouble when you can buy these cheap little rings from any generic Chinese retailer?
