The Titan of Beginner Rings

As a newbie to cock rings, I was hesitant at first to even put one on. The thought of damaging my equipment isn't exactly a plus. However, after trolling the internet for answers, I was put at ease about the safety of these toys. They are even used to help treat erectile dysfunction! If you are worried about wearing one of these, just browse online, as there is plenty of information out there.

Once I decided to try one, and I became comfortable with it, I had to decide which one to get. Since I am a newbie, I wanted to stay away from less forgiving, metal rings. The TitanMen Stretch-to-Fit (StF) seemed a solid option. It is made from a durable TPR and is only in one size since it stretches. It's incredibly beginner-friendly; the StF probably isn't ideal for advanced users, but it was a great choice for me!

The StF is made of a stretchable TPR material. This material is not the ideal material for most sex toys, but in this case, it works great. It is durable enough for repeated stretching and use while still pliable enough to form fit. I never noticed a smell with this ring, but I didn't go sniffing around for that new toy smell either. TPR cannot be boiled and shouldn't be shared, as the material is more porous than, say, silicone.

The StF does have a seam on it, and the outside has several imperfections, including a spot where I assume the mold was poured. The StF does tend to be a bit of a hair magnet, but with proper cleaning and storage, it isn't really an issue. The hair magnet isn't limited to cat hair either, it is capable of getting caught up in yours as well.

The StF is a cock ring and has a standard ring shape. The edges of the StF are rounded which helps in putting it on. The unstretched diameter is about an inch (on the inside). It seems a little wide compared to others on the site at half an inch. The thickness from the inside of the ring to the outside is about 3/16 of an inch. It feels strong enough to stretch quite a distance. I successfully stretched the ring one way for about 3 inches but didn't dare go any further since I don't want to break my new toy! The listed maximum stretched diameter is 2 inches, and that is probably as far as it will stretch and comfortably fit. I did try once to see if it would fit around the testicles as well, and it simply felt too tight. Perhaps it's just nerves from a newbie, but I wasn't interested in pushing my luck. When used only on the shaft, it fits comfortably with plenty of pressure and no pain or coldness.

The StF is made from TPR, so it cannot be boiled clean. You can, however, use antibacterial soap or toy wipes to clean it. It is listed as being disposable on the information page, and I can understand that for the price you could potentially throw it away after several uses, but as long as you clean it after every use, it should have a long life.

There weren't any instructions on the package - just hard plastic and a piece of cardboard with the product name on it. It was nothing fancy - just a convenient way to ship the product. You could use the package as storage to help protect it from hair collection, but I got rid of it after a few uses because the StF tended to stick to the plastic inside.

Before you put this on, please make sure you have some form of lubricant on. I missed this part the first time, and while putting it on is fine, getting it off is painful! Also, if you are putting on a condom, make sure you do it before putting on the StF. Among other issues, you would end up with air in the condom.
