Cock

Gear Essentials Hold

Gear Essentials (RIP) was always a forward thinking design shop. The Hold is an example of their clever design work. Precision cut from stainless steel, this cock/shaft/ball weight/cage traps all your business in its grasp. For my sizing, I went with the 1 7/8" cock ring with the 1 3/8" shaft opening. As a sucker for combination rings and cages, this fit was just what the doctor ordered - which comes as no surprise given the machining excellence of Gear Essentials over the year.

Glass Vibrations Faceted Glass Cock Ring

I’ve had some good luck on Etsy lately discovering interesting finds. As a sucker for alternative materials to your boring nickel-plated steel ring, this Glass Vibrations ring stood out immediately thanks to the faceted cut on the outside and the charming black glass material.

It took me a while to commit to purchasing this ring, though - the cost of the ring is spot-on and worth every dime… but the cost to ship from Saarbrücken, Germany to the Midwest US was almost twice the cost of the unit. I confirmed that wasn’t a listing error with Giovannina via Etsy messenger. In retrospect, given that Glass Vibrations deals primarily in glass units, shipping and packaging must be done carefully to avoid a broken piece from showing up.

Gear Essentials Strut Small

A quintessential Gear Essentials release, the strut is a narrower stainless ring than what one would see with the Torque. Because of the narrower profile at only .4", the strut doesn’t have the space for a comfort fit interior - though it’s not strictly necessary at this size. As with all Gear Essentials adornments, this ring is machined to exact tolerances with the caliper confirming that the shop is always exact in their craft. While one would think the non rounded interior and relatively “sharp” outer profile would be uncomfortable, this was not my experience… though I would indeed hesitate to wear the Strut under tighter pants that would encourage pinching!

Himeros Proteus

This half a pound of gorgeous comes to you from Himeros Jewelery. I discovered Himeros through Etsy and quickly contacted Andrew to say hello (and inquire about some custom options - he can do that, too!). He got back to me quickly and through conversation it is clear that he is passionate about what he’s doing as he builds his business. Based out of Europe, Himeros offers ultra premium cock rings. As far as I know right now, the only manufacturers offering tungsten carbide rings are Scott at King Rings and Andrew at Himeros… so we’re working with prime stock to begin with.

Magicare Mamba Zero Cage Ring

This comfortable chastity “trainer” is available from AliExpress from the Magicare brand. The adornment, like similar “trainers” from Chaste Bird, features a collection of firm plastic base cock rings and an oval shaped shaft ring. The shaft ring is about 1.25" x 1.45" which lands at a nearly perfect shaft ring size of 1.35" for me (my preference is 1.375).

What is different from my other “trainer” cage rings is how this one attaches the base and shaft rings. The attachment, being plastic, if more than the tired “pin and mating hole” design most steel cages use which leads to lots of pinches and sometimes rattling. Instead, it uses a formed mating surface which avoids rattling when mated and encourages far less pinching.

Curved Tapered Wire

This wire ring is tapered towards the bottom to promote comfort, and not to be stopped there, it is also curved along the body of the ring to better confirm to the contours of your body. This creates a highly comfortable adornment for all day wearing. I do wonder how close the quality control is. Having purchased the 1.81" option, the average inner diameter is a much-less-constricting 1.97". Perhaps this was a misunderstanding on my part while ordering, but a ring shaped this way would encourage sizing slightly down simply because of the contours that offer more forgiveness that a flat round ring.

Curved Cock and Shaft Stubby Cage

Described as a chastity trainer, this cock and shaft combination cage is right up my alley because of my affinity to cock strap/shaft ring combinations. As with many cheap cages, this one is liable to pinch as you manouvre into it… but once it is on, the issue tends to subside.

The cock ring on this device is perfectly sized, and the shaft ring matches at 1.35 inches. Unlike my other “trainer” cages, this one has a shaft cage that runs 1.75" long. With a shaft ring that long, practically ANY size will be comfortable.

Big Jelly Roll

This adornment is about 1/4 pound of ridiculous. I don’t know why I bought it other than the fact that it was less than $5 and I was bored. This ultra stretchy cock ring is made of the typical jelly cheap, crappy rings are made of - a material that is often not body safe nor able to be placed in direct contact with certain materials or they will “melt” together.

Retaining Ring Shaft Collars

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Such is life and such is the result of experimentation with industrial components as adornments. While browsing AliExpress for items to repurpose into rings, I came across these shaft collars used to lock movement of rotating assemblies in place on a shaft. A few dollars later, I had about ten collars headed my way.

The experiment was hit or miss… with mostly misses. Naturally, these shaft collars were not cut for comfort, so they feature angular and sharp edges. This lead to digging into skin as engorgement came. However, despite the relative discomfort, it wasn’t a complete loss. Some of the rings found a permanent home in my collection because their fit was suitable and the edges not too extreme. In fact, I do enjoy an industrial look in my rings for when the mood strikes me as such, so what better way tho get that than to use actual industrial gear?
