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.
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?
What do rock climing and cock rings have in common? No idea… but I do know that you can find an aluminum ring made for rock climing that serves as an excellent cock ring.
This adornment features a smooth black surface and imitates large wire cock rings with its almost 1/2" thickness… but can be had at a practical steal of only $5 from AliExpress and about a month’s wait for it to arrive. The ring does feature markings indicating it’s true purpose for existing, but they can easily be placed against the body and no one but yourself will be the wiser.
AliExpress marketplace is a target rich environment for adornments. Given that many rings one would purchase online ultimiately originate in China (except a few standouts that make their gear in shop like Ballistic Metal and Blue Collar Fetish Wear), it’s a great place to find the same fare but for far cheaper prices and often times before it is available widespread here at home.
In this case, the maker chose to take two stainless wire rings and bend them (as my favorite wire cock rings go). Not stopping there, they were welded together to create an interesting new kind of shaft ring.
Those that have collected cages a while probably noticed that some of the base rings are boxy but curved… and then had the same question I did: Why don’t they just make regular rings that way? Well, sure enough, they finally hit the market.
This adornment features the same curve as my favorite wire cock ring but built upon a foundation of a wider style band. This gives it the boxy appearance and also adds to the comfort that the ring provides. It is finished in a polished coating for that little bit more bling.
This interesting adornment features larger stainless steel balls soldered together to form a firm ring. The design is interesting and the size of the individual stainless beads reduces the pressure one would expect to feel from such a design. All in all, a decent addition to the collection.
I’ve seen this design ring for years, but I’m more a silver or white gold person rather than gold. However, I do still think the design of a polished gold donut ring withna solitary gem is a great idea for adorning my manhood. Interestingly, I enjoyed my solid brass cock ring from Ballistic Metal so much I decided to purchase one of these… and couldn’t even find one.
Finally I located one and scooped it up for my collection. As with most donut rings, this is a comfortable adornment and it matches well with my gold aluminum shaft ring when looking to double up.
This stainless ring features a center section of raised/rippled black as an inlay. One may think the edges of the ripples may be uncomfortable, but thankfully that is not the case.
Interestingly, I had this ring on my Amazon shopping list for years and forgot all about it… and it eventually became unavailable. As with the scarcity principal, not being able to buy it anymore meant that I really had to have it. As I wandered the internet trying to locate one, I finally stumbled on one and picked it up.
Cheap target of opportunity purchases on AliExpress sometimes work out for me. While browsing one day, I came across this jewelry style beaded shaft ring.
It’s thin and cheap, but still visually interesting. Unfortunately, the sizing was a bit off and the ring is too small to use comfortably as a shaft ring. Perhaps if it were wider, I could get away with it… but the narrow profile hurts when things harden up.
This interesting concept features an adjustable glans ring from a out 1.2 inches to 1.5 inches. Unfortunately, the size is too large for a glans ring and won’t quite work for me as a shaft ring. When adjusted to a larger size, the gap in the ring guarantees a better fit… but also pinching and discomfort!
