James Deen cock rings - ring set discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by remember.me

These James Deen cock rings are made by Doc Johnson. They come with two in a package and are different sizes.

Having never seen nor used a cock ring before receiving these, I had to look up what they were for. They are usually placed around the base of the penis to trap blood in the penis thereby making it possible to extend the males erection for a long period of time and delay orgasm. They are also meant to "enhance size and girth" according to the packaging insert.

I found conflicting info on how long you should use a cock ring for per session and it looks like 20 minutes is the main recommendation so take caution not to wear this too long.

This toy is meant for males or for use with a male partner. During sex is the intended play, but it can also be used by a male alone for masturbation purposes if they wanted to use it for that as well.

Anyone who wanted to use this toy could. A simple web search would allow someone to learn what they could do with it if they wanted to know and learn.

Made out of 100% silicone, as well as being hypoallergenic and phthalate-free, these cock rings are simple in design. They are smooth to the touch with no extra textures to be found. Running your fingers around them is not simple though, as the material does cause drag against your skin. These are bendable and seem rather resilient as the silicone is rather rigid. They are seamless.

I did not notice a smell when taking the rings out of the packaging.

I didn't find the texture stimulating but I also didn't have any complaints with it. I just felt that the rings were rather boring.

Stretching these was also a little hard to do due to the rigidness but I am not sure if that was just an issue I had when trying to do it, so I cannot say if someone else will have the same issue.

The rings come in two different sizes; one is 2 and 1/4th wide, the other is 1 and 1/2 when not stretched. I could stretch the 1 and 1/2 inch one to 2 inches; the 2 and 1/4th inches to 4 inches!

The design and shape are fine in my first time user opinion! There are no attachments or extras such as the ability to vibrate.

It is very easy to put on and take off without anything, but the use of a water based lube (the only type of lube you should use with silicone!) could assist if someone is having trouble.

My partner said it was comfortable and the design does make it pretty convenient to use whenever.

I believe the average user would fit fine in these rings, and enjoy them. The smaller one would probably only fit over the penis shaft while the bigger one could fit over both the shaft and testicles.

These are dishwasher safe so feel free to toss it in there if you want to disinfect them that way. Boiling them for 3 minutes is also an option.

I keep the rings stored in the little plastic container they come in so that way I do not lose them and they are in the same place.

There were no instructions with these.

The rings come packed together in a little plastic piece that you pull apart. There is an insert with a picture of James Deen, his name and it says "cock ring - double pack" on the front. The back of the insert gives information about the rings: Platinum Grade Silicone - Hypoallergenic - 100% Phthalate free - Warms to body temperature - Enhances size and girth - Easy to Clean (Top Rack Dishwasher Safe) - Highest Quality Material - Proudly made in America", as well as information in other langagues and the URL to James Deen's blog in case you are interested!

As you can guess, this packaging is not discreet and anybody who saw it would know what it is!

Honestly, having never used cock rings before, I wasn't even interested in trying them.

I did so for the sake of the review - using them with my partner. We were just frustrated with trying to stretch the smaller one to fit, because the other was too just slight too big to keep around both his penis and testicles.

These did pull on his hair so that was unpleasant. It wasn't easy to get on and since I'm allergic to lube (all kinds, unfortunately), that was not something we could use to assist.

They are very boring and don't really offer any sensation. My partner didn't feel like they helped him last any longer either. They are well made though, and strong, so that's why I've given them 3 stars. I would say this is a personal preference though, and think other users should form their own opinions before just passing these by!
