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).

3D Printed Split Ring

Having signed up for the hard man outfitters newsletter/insider club, I received an e-blast about some upcoming new products. One of them was a new ring called a split dome (or something similar). I had seen this kind of ring before, but forgot all about them until the newsletter popped in. It got me thinking about the style again. Being oddly shaped compared to the other adornments in my collection, I was wondering if I would even like the fit at all when a thought occurred to me: The design is simple enough that I could model and print one to find out!

Der Stahlmeister Saturn Ring

Every now and again I make sure to check in to various sources for adornments, and seldom does Etsy disappoint after filtering through the junk. Recently, I discovered Der Stahlmeister (the steel master) and was quickly drawn to their double ring thanks to the fact that it can be customized and is curved for maximum comfort. Having experimented with a home made saturn ring, I was pretty sure I would like the steel version.

Wood Hard Wear Purpleheart Cock Ring

You can read a bit more about how I came across Wood Hard Wear in my previous review, but suffice to say: new opportunities to add to your collection have come! Seeking a 1.875" ring, Renlo made this adornment from aged purpleheart and finished it with a silver leaf inlay. The end result is an absolutely stunning 1.86" ring weighing just shy of half an ounce.

I love it. This adornment is just plain beautiful. The deep color of the purpleheart offset by the silver bands is an awesome combination. Having the silver leaf grooves helps visually break up the width of the ring showing a deft eye for design. The finish on the ring is a gloss, my guess, polyurethane giving a bit of shine to the already handsome adornment. Similar to the pine plywood ring in my previous review, this one doesn’t have a radiused inner edge, but the width of the ring and smooth radius from inner to top ensures a comfortable fit. In fact, it’s so comfortable, I wore it all day and then over night as soon as I received it! As far as proportions go, this one slightly beats out the plywood design due to the thinner height of the ring (a personal preference). This makes the outer profile sit almost perfectly flush with my anatomy while fully engorged, making it appear as though the adornment is an extension of me.

Wood Hard Wear Plywood Cock Ring

Finally! Another active manufacturer in wood adornments!!! Wood Hard Wear had a brief stint on Etsy selling wood rings, but life got in the way and the shop went on hiatus. As it turns out, the world of great appreciation for adornments is a small world, and I ran into Renlo on a chance thread on Reddit! He’s been recently experimenting in designs again and is rebooting at a new web shop woodhardwear.com.
