ManAdorned My Wedding Band - A Narrower Custom Stainless Creation

As I shared in a prior review, I’ve been smitten by a maker’s most exciting (and dangerous?) thing: new knowledge! Using my newfound knowledge of FreeCAD and where to have a custom ring manufactured, I made another custom creation to match the stainless steel version of my wedding band which itself was inspired by the custom design Andrew at Himeros jewelry created.

The design of this ring is identical to the previous stainless steel design but was adjusted to match the proportions of one of the most comfortable adornments in my collection: the Gear Essentials Plunge. Having another width adornment that matches my wedding band is a nice addition to the collection because the thicker bands can sometimes lead to a little too much bulge.

Blue Collar Fetish Wear Black Cinching Strap

As I’ve mentioned before, blue collar fetish wear makes some pretty great stuff and are even willing to produce custom designs. This adornment is a simple cock strap that cinches like a hole-less belt to customize the size to your liking. It features handsome stainless steel hardware as well as a smart quick release snap for easy removal after you are done playing. Given the almost infinitely adjustable design, you are guaranteed to find the size that works for you. Unfortunately, this simple cock strap has been in my collection for quite a while but rarely gets used due to the length of the extra leather leading. For my biology, the length provided is just too much and leads to a sloppy appearance. Maybe it’s time to just order a custom size?

Himeros Zeus

There are already a few Himeros rings in my collection and I am pleased to add another after some downtime buying higher end rings. I decided to pick Zeus up because I only have one or two gold tone adornments and it gave a very striking appearance in the images Andrew posted while describing the process of making a custom adornment matching my wedding ring as it was juxtaposed beside the finished product.

ManAdorned My Wedding Band - A Custom Stainless Creation

I was so absolutely excited to work with Andrew at Himeros to produce my wedding band in practically indestructible tungsten carbide material that I became inspired. Working with Andrew and exchanging image proofs of the proposed designs via email, I became motivated take my 3D modelling skills to the next level. I’ve been a long time user of simple modeling tools like sketchup and OpenSCAD and even used them to create some adornments (examples: 1, 2, 3… but they have their limitations in terms of complexity and attractiveness. So I decided to learn how to model with Blender and FreeCAD and see how far my newfound skills could take me in my favorite hobby!

Blue Collar Fetish Wear Strap and Shaft Perfection

I make no secret about the fact that I adore combination adornments that feature cock and shaft encirclement. I am also extremely drawn to the black leather strap with a polished stainless ring combination because that was actually the second adornment I ever purchased! My first was a neoprene shaft ring at 1 1/4" which proved to be an intense entrypoint to the art given that it was at least 1/8" too small. But… I loved the effect and quickly became hooked, so sought the next level. I settled on a cheap faux leather strap that had a snap loop for the shaft ring and fell in love with the result.

Satin with Double Accent Shaft Ring

I’ve been a fan of The Chain Gang for a while simply because they are one of the few manufacturers out there that offer a wide variety of cool adornments. They have several designs that are available as a cock ring, shaft ring, and a glans ring - for those that like to have a fully decked out member in matching accoutrements. In this case, the “Satin Cock Ring with Double Black Accents” ring comes only in sizes that would work well as shaft or cock ring… but there are plenty of Generic glans rings available featuring a brushed stainless finish with rubber accent ring should you wish to go the full 10 yards!

Button Strap Shaft Ring

I’ve been a fan of The Chain Gang for a while simply because they are one of the few manufacturers out there that offer a wide variety of cool adornments. They have several designs that are available as a cock ring, shaft ring, and a glans ring - for those that like to have a fully decked out member in matching accoutrements.

The ‘button strap’ design is one such design. It features a scalloped set of ridges along the outer diameter of the ring finished in a highly polished stainless steel. It’s visually interesting because of the various angles that light can hit the adornment and reflect back. If it were faceted, I’d dare call it a blingy ring. Because I have WAY more cock rings than shaft rings and because I’m unlikely to wear a decked out set, I decided to just dip my toe in the water and only purchase a cock ring perfectly sized to be a shaft ring.

Glass Sound Set

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. For my experience level, 5 to 7mm is easily handled any given day with up to 8.5mm offering a bit of a challenge (and a bit of pain). I’ve never been able to fit a 10mm without tearing something, so I couldn’t imagine the monster that the 12mm sound is for.

Twisted Glass Sounds

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.

Zebra Wood Ring

I’m always on the prowl for a new adornment and am especially fond of interesting or alternative materials. Of course, when I saw Broken Lance After Dark was offering adornments through their Etsy shop (among other adult toys), I had to pick one up.

The rings can be made from a number of different woods depending on your personal tastes. Because I wanted the grain of the wood to be on full display, I chose zebra wood - and the maker was willing to create the ring at a 1.875" inner diameter despite only listing 1.75" and 2" on the store front.
