When I received the Strut cock ring it came in an attractive looking metal can. The can has

black velvet-like lining. I figure this is to protect the ring from scratches. This can in my

opinion, is very classy and could be perfect for loose change.


The Strut is made from stainless steel, a type of a metal, which has a material safety rating

of 10. Eden has the Strut listed as metal, which has a material safety rating of 9. Why do I

have a difference of opinion? Metal will cling to an average kitchen magnet, Stainless steel

does not cling to a magnet, I conducted this experiment. The difference between metal and

stainless is that metal is porous and stainless steel is non porous. The Strut has nodules on

the outside of the ring which are not sharp, however they catch my finger when I run my

finger over them. The inside of this ring is super smooth.


Gear essentials designed the Strut like a cog wheel. This cock ring is silver in color and

very shiny. It has some weight to it as well at 0.2 lbs. When not used for sexual pleasures

it can double as a paperweight. The inner diameter of this ring is 1 ¾” and the outer

diameter is 2 ¼”. This ring is not adjustable. Why you may ask? It's made out of stainless

steel, which has no give. The ring has a 1/4” thickness.


Travel would not be an issue. I DO NOT recommend walking thru Airport Security with

this cock ring in your pocket. You'll definitely set off the metal detector. We didn't test this

ring out in the water, but there's no reason you couldn't use it in the water.


Couples could benefit from the use of a cock ring; the Strut may not be the cock ring for

you. I would not recommend this ring for a novice user and experienced enthusiasts would

most likely pass the Strut up. For a beginner starting out with a cock ring, I would highly

recommend an adjustable one.


In our opinion, the Strut is a cock ring. What I mean is that you would have to be a magician

to stretch this ring around the shaft of the penis and testicles. There is no possible way that

we could figure out This ring can cause some discomfort or pain to your partner, so please

use caution while using this ring.


This stainless steel cock ring can be used with oil, silicone and water based lubricants. Clean

up is simple.


This ring can be washed in antibacterial soap with warm water, placed in the top rack of the

dishwasher, boiled or placed in a 10% bleach solution. I would let the ring air dry before

returning it to the can. Why? The moisture will ruin the interior of the can.

In no way am I trying to brag, I have a pretty thick penis. The Strut fit me perfectly while

I was semi-erect and wasn't the least bit uncomfortable while fully erect. My wife, on the

other hand, after about two minutes asked me to stop. The ring was actually hurting her,

her flower actually bruised. The Strut obviously isn't the cock ring for us.


This wasn't our first experience with a cock ring, we have a small collection of rings.

This just wasn't a pleasent experience for my wife.

I can honestly say that I still use my Strut as a paperweight. The Strut is an
interesting conversation piece. I'm sorry that I can't speak about the real
purpose of a cock ring. As a cock ring it did not work to well for us.
