Stainless Steel

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.

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.

Hard Man Outfitters Monster Screwball Cock Ring

I already have a few adornments in my collection from Hard Man Outfitters, so when they released a brand new MONSTROUS ring resembling a piece of Captive Bead Ring body jewelry, my attention was immediately grabbed. Thick, heavy stainless? Polished, handsome finish? Over a pound of metal goodness hanging from your goodness? YES, PLEASE!

The package showed up in a small USPS flat rate shipping box and I knew without looking at the label what it was. This thing is heavy! As usual, the HMO packaging was nice with a branded box and branded velvet pouch to store the adornment. The finish is a nice and smooth plating… but… did I mention that this thing is heavy? It weighed in at just over a pound with an inner diameter of 1.767". This makes the wire width about .725" diameter. It came very close in weight to my current heavy weight champion (the custom design Bad Ass Workroom made for me) but ultimately is about 1.2oz shy of that beast. It completely outclassed my other CBR style cock ring that I picked up from AliExpress ages ago.

ManAdorned Stainless Pillowed Segments

In case you can’t tell, I’ve come to enjoy custom designing my own adornments based on whatever design thoughts pop into mind! The design for this one struck me as I noticed our kitchen cabinets. When designing the kitchen a few years back, I recalled a myriad of choices regarding material/shape/cut/style/etc - just for the door frames. I remembered that we fell in love with the “pillowed” effect cabinets in a dark, rich stained color. That “pillowed” effect is what served as the inspiration for this design.

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.

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.
