Hard Man Outfitters Dome Splitter

Remember when I mentioned that I saw a split domed ring from Hard Man Outfitters in their newsletter… but couldn’t find it? Well… I found it! I’m not sure what is up with HMO’s website and their search results, but finding products from search engines on their site is always hit or miss!

I would recommend reading the previous review for impressions of this style of adornment. Cliff’s Notes: I’m a fan! I love how they look and how they wear. They’re also subtly shaped in a way that you could go stealth mode and wear them all day long. For this particular specimen, it differs from the 3d printed model I created in two key ways: it’s polished (gorgeous) and the wire is thinner. The inner diameter is only about .002mm off of the ordered size coming in at 1.755". The steel wire is .230" thick and it all comes together to weigh 1.81oz. Made in stainless, I was curious how the weld attaching the two wires would come out. As can be seen in the picture, there was generous filler material applied to avoid the corners being tight/sharp to pinch our sensitive bits. As usual, this is a thoughtfully designed adornment from HMO! Also, as you can see on their website, ordering in a 40mm size will get you an adornment that works quite well on the scrotum as a ball separator giving a little more visual bling for those that enjoy testicle weights.

Hard Man Outfitters C-Splint Penis Tube

Hard Man Outfitters, known for their cool designs, released this cock splint a while ago. I thought it was neat at the time I saw it, but didn’t jump at the addition. As a subscriber to their newsletter, it popped in as a sale item (or some other discount) and it reminded me that I should give it a whirl!

This splint has an interesting design. Built from aluminum and coated with a hammered gray metallic finish, it is much lighter than it appears. The full length of the splint at the bottom is just shy of 4 inches at 3.95" with a ball opening of 1.4" x 1.76". This opening has rounded edges at the corners to prevent unneeded discomfort. The splint transitions to a shaft ring gradually right around the center of the ball opening. Think of this like a triple ring cock cage that doesn’t have an opening for the cock and balls to go through. The shaft opening for the medium size is 1.365" with a hefty band at about .035" thick. The width of the shaft ring is right at 1" and features a gem embedded into the splint at the top for a bit of added flare. All edges of the splint are rounded, as you would expect, to keep sharp edges from digging in to our oh-so-sensitive flesh.

ManAdorned Aluminum Net Triple Ring

OK… so in a previous review, I may have said that I cannot decide if I like the hex pattern or the net pattern better for my own custom-designed adornment. I think I’ve settled on the net pattern being preferred - and to drive the point home, I decided to build a crowning achievement in my absolute favorite adornment style: a gorgeous triple ring of this current favorite design!

The design itself just a fusion of the standard ring (review, a newly designed shaft ring and a newly designed ball ring. I had each ring manufactured standalone, and they all are wonderful as they are (which makes sense - they perfectly fit my preferred style and size).

3D Printed Split Ring

Having signed up for the hard man outfitters newsletter/insider club, I received an e-blast about some upcoming new products. One of them was a new ring called a split dome (or something similar). I had seen this kind of ring before, but forgot all about them until the newsletter popped in. It got me thinking about the style again. Being oddly shaped compared to the other adornments in my collection, I was wondering if I would even like the fit at all when a thought occurred to me: The design is simple enough that I could model and print one to find out!

Der Stahlmeister Saturn Ring

Every now and again I make sure to check in to various sources for adornments, and seldom does Etsy disappoint after filtering through the junk. Recently, I discovered Der Stahlmeister (the steel master) and was quickly drawn to their double ring thanks to the fact that it can be customized and is curved for maximum comfort. Having experimented with a home made saturn ring, I was pretty sure I would like the steel version.

Blue Collar Fetish Wear Strap and Shaft Perfection

I make no secret about the fact that I adore combination adornments that feature cock and shaft encirclement. I am also extremely drawn to the black leather strap with a polished stainless ring combination because that was actually the second adornment I ever purchased! My first was a neoprene shaft ring at 1 1/4" which proved to be an intense entrypoint to the art given that it was at least 1/8" too small. But… I loved the effect and quickly became hooked, so sought the next level. I settled on a cheap faux leather strap that had a snap loop for the shaft ring and fell in love with the result.

Satin with Double Accent Shaft Ring

I’ve been a fan of The Chain Gang for a while simply because they are one of the few manufacturers out there that offer a wide variety of cool adornments. They have several designs that are available as a cock ring, shaft ring, and a glans ring - for those that like to have a fully decked out member in matching accoutrements. In this case, the “Satin Cock Ring with Double Black Accents” ring comes only in sizes that would work well as shaft or cock ring… but there are plenty of Generic glans rings available featuring a brushed stainless finish with rubber accent ring should you wish to go the full 10 yards!

Button Strap Shaft Ring

I’ve been a fan of The Chain Gang for a while simply because they are one of the few manufacturers out there that offer a wide variety of cool adornments. They have several designs that are available as a cock ring, shaft ring, and a glans ring - for those that like to have a fully decked out member in matching accoutrements.

The ‘button strap’ design is one such design. It features a scalloped set of ridges along the outer diameter of the ring finished in a highly polished stainless steel. It’s visually interesting because of the various angles that light can hit the adornment and reflect back. If it were faceted, I’d dare call it a blingy ring. Because I have WAY more cock rings than shaft rings and because I’m unlikely to wear a decked out set, I decided to just dip my toe in the water and only purchase a cock ring perfectly sized to be a shaft ring.

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.

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.
