Slash Fit Stainless Glans Ring

Suddenly, this glans ring started appearing in random browsings as I looked for new adornments - so I had to oblige and pick it up. Available from a number of online retailers on AliExpress and Etsy, this stainless steel glans ring is a typical “band” design that has been modified with a slash to follow the contours of the glans better.

The design is clever and I’m surprised by how much I appreciated the way the proportions fit the shape of my head so well. Typical band rings will require you either angle your head “upward” for the frenulum to ride atop the band or to keep everything ‘straight’ and leave a gap between the under side of your glans and the top of the band.

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.

Weighted Magnet Glans Ring

An interesting Etsy find while browsing for… whatever, this weighted ring stuck out quickly. The interesting feature of this weight is the fact that it’s just a 1.25" stainless steel ball. At that size, it would be easy enough to wear all day long and even potentially disguise itself as your glans if detected through your pants. Unfortunately, the pictures on the listing weren’t super clear as to how this works. It’s nothing more than a rubber hose and a pair of magnets that attach to the stainless weight. This is fine enough for flaccid wearing while mostly still, but the strength of the magnets provided simply don’t have enough grip to hold on to the ball for all day use. Give it a bump, hop down a stair, or chub up too much and you’re liable to have a stainless steel ball drop out of the bottom of your pants leg! Have fun explaining that to onlookers. In any event, this is a cool addition to the collection if nothing for the novelty factor. Given my propensity to experiment and make things, perhaps I’ll look into replacing the magnets with much more powerful units…

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!

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.

Horned Glans Ring

This somewhat interesting glans ring features design elements along the whole body that add interest. I’m not sure how to describe be design - somewhere along the lines of Greek Parthenon style.

The ring is a little large for an all day glans ring, but it fits well when erect. The design is interesting indeed, though I wonder if it would slide off if donned during insertion activities. That’s probably not something to leave to chance!

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.

Ultra Glans Weight

I love the tug of a heavy glans weight all day long - oftentimes the more the better. This adornment promises all the stretch I can take weighing in at almost a pound and a half!

This ring is a two segment ring, like most ball stretchers, thay can be closed by tightening the allen head bolts holding the two halves together. Trying to put this ring on is a mixed bag. While the weight can be separated into halves, that encourages pinching of the shaft. At the same time, the inner diameter is only an inch wide to be able to hold onto the corona with all that weight, so sliding it on without separating the halves is also difficult.

Dual Curved Shaft Ring

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.

Bad Ass Workroom Custom Mega Wire

If you love heavy adornments around your manhood, then head over to Etsy and take a look at what you can have made through Bad Ass Workroom. Have you ever thought that the Gear Essentials Omega is awesome… but just not BIG enough? Well, now’s your chance to spec out the largest wire cock ring imaginable.

While the custom work isn’t exactly cheap and it does take quite a while to manufacturer and deliver from China, the end result is spectacular. This weighty right tips the scales at more than a pound of stainless steel. The finish can be natural, brushed, or polished. I obviously went for the polished finish and, while it doesn’t shine and reflect like the Omega ring does, the end result is still quite nice.
