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.

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.

Retaining Ring Shaft Collars

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?

Black Aluminum Rock Climbing Ring

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.

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.
