Meridien Design Zebrawood Glans Ring

Not to repeat myself from my recent Meridien Design Zebrawood Cock Ring review, this one focuses on the matching glans ring. Which, of course you should go for a matching set - they look great together!!! Head over to the first review for a little more context.

Like the cock ring, this zebrawood glans ring is a donut design. It features the radiused inner and outer edges with a less pronounced flat “landing” on the height of the ring. This is a smart design choice for two reasons - the corona for us circumcised men don’t like pinches, so minimal height on the adornment is important… and as always, radiused edges avoid sharp corners which lead to even more pinching! I also think it’s fair to say that this glans ring is a very handsome companion to the cock ring, but also very beautiful in its own right.

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?

King Rings Father of Pearl Midnight Glans Ring

I mentioned in my FOP cock ring review that I stumbled across a matching cock and glans set in the King Rings secondhand products page - and wouldn’t you know it? They were just my size. Although I now own 9 King Rings cock adornments, this is my first glans ring from Scott. How does it stack up?

I shouldn’t have to say that the design and finish of ANY King Rings product is top quality as that is just what has come to be expected at the price point and from a well-established brand in the industry. The glans rings are no exception to this rule with this sample sporting a handsome piano black plating under a crystal smooth finish. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think the finish of the glans ring may differ in some way to those of the cock rings - it just looks… different. It seems to pick up finger prints more? Or perhaps that is just a side effect of my cock rings being flat while the glans rings feature a radiused outer profile? In any event, the finish is on par with what you would expect from King Rings.

Stainless Welded Double Glans Ring

A glans ring is always a delight to have, so I own several as any collector of adornments would. But despite the number of pieces in my collection collection and despite thinking I’ve “seen it all”, every now and again a new design comes along that offers a nice surprise. That’s exactly what I found in this devilishly simple twist on a classic wire glans ring. By simply welding a second glans ring roughly at the same angle of the corona, the designers of this cheap generic ring brought something new to the table. It’s kind of one of those, “Why didn’t anyone think of this before?

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.

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.

Gear Essentials Quarter Screw Glans Ring

Designed to match the tremendously comfortable screw series from Gear Essentials, the quarter screw glans ring is a lightweight, highly polished aluminum adornment. The rounded edges ensure comfort and the striking finish easily matches the half screw cock ring that is already in my collection. The only thing left is to purchase a shaft ring to complete the set - which, unfortunately, is lost to time given the untimely demise of Gear Essentials as a manufacturer.

Braided Steel Wire Glans Ring

Another Etsy find from steelcraftsman, this simple glans ring is made from a braided stainless steel twist wire (industrial!) captured with a bead to close off the loop. Beautiful and rugged in its simplicity, this glans ring looks great when paired with other industrial adornments .

Slash Fit Stainless Glans Ring

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. Typical band rings will require you either angle your head “upward” for the frenulum to ride atop the band or to keep everything ‘straight’ and leave a gap between the under side of your glans and the top of the band.
