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!

Himeros Proteus

This half a pound of gorgeous comes to you from Himeros Jewelery. I discovered Himeros through Etsy and quickly contacted Andrew to say hello (and inquire about some custom options - he can do that, too!). He got back to me quickly and through conversation it is clear that he is passionate about what he’s doing as he builds his business. Based out of Europe, Himeros offers ultra premium cock rings. As far as I know right now, the only manufacturers offering tungsten carbide rings are Scott at King Rings and Andrew at Himeros… so we’re working with prime stock to begin with.

Magicare Mamba Zero Cage Ring

This comfortable chastity “trainer” is available from AliExpress from the Magicare brand. The adornment, like similar “trainers” from Chaste Bird, features a collection of firm plastic base cock rings and an oval shaped shaft ring. The shaft ring is about 1.25" x 1.45" which lands at a nearly perfect shaft ring size of 1.35" for me (my preference is 1.375).

What is different from my other “trainer” cage rings is how this one attaches the base and shaft rings. The attachment, being plastic, if more than the tired “pin and mating hole” design most steel cages use which leads to lots of pinches and sometimes rattling. Instead, it uses a formed mating surface which avoids rattling when mated and encourages far less 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.

Chandelier Crystal Shaft Ring

Yet another target of opportunity repurpose, this adornment comes courtesy of AliExpress made to serve the purpose of a chandelier crystal. In this case, it also turns out to be a great size for a shaft ring. Who wouldn’t give it a shot for only $3.50 to your door?

As a shaft ring, the crystal performs admirably if not uncomfortably. They are clear, but definitely not cut for comfort around your member given the semi-sharp edges and unrounded interior ring. However, the look is neat. Given that the crystal is clear, it will roughly take on the color of your body after being put on. This can be good or bad depending on personal preferences. On one hand, the ring almost disappears, but on the other hand, it also doesn’t sparkle and shimmer as though being lit by bright sunlight behind it.

Big Jelly Roll

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.
