Hard Man Outfitters Dome Splitter

Remember when I mentioned that I saw a split domed ring from Hard Man Outfitters in their newsletter… but couldn’t find it? Well… I found it! I’m not sure what is up with HMO’s website and their search results, but finding products from search engines on their site is always hit or miss!

I would recommend reading the previous review for impressions of this style of adornment. Cliff’s Notes: I’m a fan! I love how they look and how they wear. They’re also subtly shaped in a way that you could go stealth mode and wear them all day long. For this particular specimen, it differs from the 3d printed model I created in two key ways: it’s polished (gorgeous) and the wire is thinner. The inner diameter is only about .002mm off of the ordered size coming in at 1.755". The steel wire is .230" thick and it all comes together to weigh 1.81oz. Made in stainless, I was curious how the weld attaching the two wires would come out. As can be seen in the picture, there was generous filler material applied to avoid the corners being tight/sharp to pinch our sensitive bits. As usual, this is a thoughtfully designed adornment from HMO! Also, as you can see on their website, ordering in a 40mm size will get you an adornment that works quite well on the scrotum as a ball separator giving a little more visual bling for those that enjoy testicle weights.

Hard Man Outfitters Titan Glans Head Ring

Yet another adornment from Hard Man Outfitters. As a newsletter subscriber, this one popped up as a freebie if you buy enough stuff. I figured… hell… why not? I’ve been meaning to buy some stuff from them anyway!

The design of this glans ring is very simple. It’s a band style ring with very slightly rounded edges and a highly polished stainless finish. Knowing the weight being so low (as measured, just under 1oz), I decided it probably wasn’t worth using as a glans ring and instead went with their 35mm option so I could wear it as a shaft ring. At 1.37" inner diameter (perfectly matching the size ordered) and a width of .405" it works A-OK as a shaft ring for my size, but the height at only .115" definitely makes it look like it’s far too tight as my manhood squeezes against the restriction.

Hard Man Outfitters C-Splint Penis Tube

Hard Man Outfitters, known for their cool designs, released this cock splint a while ago. I thought it was neat at the time I saw it, but didn’t jump at the addition. As a subscriber to their newsletter, it popped in as a sale item (or some other discount) and it reminded me that I should give it a whirl!

This splint has an interesting design. Built from aluminum and coated with a hammered gray metallic finish, it is much lighter than it appears. The full length of the splint at the bottom is just shy of 4 inches at 3.95" with a ball opening of 1.4" x 1.76". This opening has rounded edges at the corners to prevent unneeded discomfort. The splint transitions to a shaft ring gradually right around the center of the ball opening. Think of this like a triple ring cock cage that doesn’t have an opening for the cock and balls to go through. The shaft opening for the medium size is 1.365" with a hefty band at about .035" thick. The width of the shaft ring is right at 1" and features a gem embedded into the splint at the top for a bit of added flare. All edges of the splint are rounded, as you would expect, to keep sharp edges from digging in to our oh-so-sensitive flesh.

35mm Heavy Pendant Glans Weight Lasso

One of the things I love most about adornments, especially Tungsten Carbide is the weight and tug through the course of the day. That subtle pull reminding your manhood all day long that it’s there is something one gets to enjoy as their little secret of what hides beneath those jeans or slacks. As I’ve expanded my collection to include more and more heavier weighted glans rings, I’ve come to enjoy having the weight itself pulling on my member throughout the day. I’ve had experiences with weighted ball rings, but they aren’t quite my favorite (I probably just need to wear them more often to get acclimated to the pain of the tug). I figured it was time to lean into that weighted feeling and try something specifically for hanging from my shaft. This particular model is flexible enough in design that it could be lassoed around the glans, scrotum, or cock and balls.

Primal:Power Flex Cock Ring in Satin Black Silicone

One of the best things happened the other day: a random note shared on r/CockRingTalk by user u/Nudenotrude327 saying, without being a corporate shill, “Hey, guys - this Primal Power silicone ring is pretty sweet. You should check it out.” I knew exactly what to do next: get one!

It was an easy call to pick up another Primal adornment because the Primal Energy is one of my favorites. Like the Energy, the Power features a tapered contour from top to bottom as well as a slight curve toward the body as the it tapers. Departing from that initial design that put Primal on the map, this adornment is significantly thicker in width as well as being made of a silky soft black silicone material. The “P” embossed logo at the top of the ring may be a divisive decision (I’m all for brands… but while it’s on, MY brand is what should be front and center)… but that is up to you to decide. The generous proportions of the adornment ensure maximum comfort. With more than .3" in height and .7" of width, the overall thickness helps prevent pinching by helping limit the amount of skin that can “roll” over the ring and get caught between your body and clothes. I also find that wider designs “present” nicer by lifting the testicles forward. Bonus points! So, immediately upon receiving it, I geared up. Barring a few unavoidable pinches caused by my thick jeans, I was quite pleased with the comfort of the ring.

Claw Shaped Urethral Sound

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 (7.85mm) over the course if about 1.5 inches. This is a fairly simple and common design, and works well in spite of its unadventurous design. On reaching the tip, a threaded claw which us a polished brass in color sits atop with three evenly spaced barbs curving over the glans.

Long Tapered Training Sound

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! I’m not an expert… bit this sure is a great way to train for those looking to stretch a vit further.

The Chain Gang Large Wavy Urethral Sound

While I have a few things from The Chain Gang, they aren’t exactly a featured group in my collection. Not that there is anything wrong with their products - it’s just that they focus more on piercing materials with adornments as a just-so-happens-to-be-in-our-shop kind of thing. Over time, that has changed as they invent new designs and add more things to their store. Ages ago, I signed up for their newsletter to know about new products and also because their prices are generally more reasonable when they put an item on sale - and lo and behold, what drew my attention but a MONSTROUS urethral sound made of smooth stainless steel!

ManAdorned Stainless Heavy Glans Ring

I am always seeking new ways to grow the collection, and what better way is there than to create yet another custom adornment? Inspired by this really great slash cut glans ring, I thought the design could be improved by enhancing the fit.

So how did it turn out? Fantastic, of course! With the opportunity to 3D print multiple attempts in order to finely tune the model, this ring perfectly fits my contours. Multipe iterations were required to find the exact curve of my glans. I didn’t realize that my head has such a dramatic curve (when looking from the side) starting practically diagonally, following a gradual slope, and ending with a curve back to near vertical at the base of the ring. At the same time, like most men, the corona and overall contour of the glans is offset a bit lower. Being able to design this adornment made it possible for me to offset the center hole, curve the edge exactly as needed, and adjust the length of the ring to find the perfect union of man and metal. If there was one thing to improve it would be to make the frenulum point longer, but I suspect that would very negatively impact comfort.

ManAdorned Aluminum Net Triple Ring

OK… so in a previous review, I may have said that I cannot decide if I like the hex pattern or the net pattern better for my own custom-designed adornment. I think I’ve settled on the net pattern being preferred - and to drive the point home, I decided to build a crowning achievement in my absolute favorite adornment style: a gorgeous triple ring of this current favorite design!

The design itself just a fusion of the standard ring (review, a newly designed shaft ring and a newly designed ball ring. I had each ring manufactured standalone, and they all are wonderful as they are (which makes sense - they perfectly fit my preferred style and size).
