Silicon glans ring

[adonis]

Hey guys- I've been using the taped back method with success, but want something less finicky & streamlined. These silicon rings seem like just what I need-- anyone else use them? Or know where I can get them? Cheers.

That guy made his own using some sheets of silicone rubber and a craft knife.

Now there's an idea. Found sheets of silicon on ebay, ordered one 1mm thick and one 2mm thick.

Will have a go at diy glans ring contruction when they arrive.

Good luck! I've wanted to get some of that stuff too.

I've ordered 1.5 mm thick silicone sheets and I'll attempt to cut my own custom ring tomorrow, I'm excited

hi guys,

My silicon sheets arrived today so I've been experimenting.

First thing to say is I think I ordered the wrong thing, the silicon I have is the type they make bake-ware our so it's a little stiff. I think I should have ordered silicon gel.

Never mind, we'll continue.

I made a fairly quick first attempt at a glans ring using the 2mm sheet, guessing sized and using a pour pair of scissors, but I was already very impressed with the results.

It's comfortable and works really well, my only concern is if I get a hardon it's going to strangle my glans as there's no give in it.

Nice!! Yeah, I think the semi-transparent stuff is more like what you want. But maybe if the ring is narrow enough, it'll have enough give not to squeeze too badly.

[Johnscot]

Well, the 1mm silicon is much better, a lot softer although I still don't think there's enough give for a hardon.

I've experimented with different sizes, I have a shot glass which suits the outside and a £2 coin is best for inside.

I'll keep it on all night and tomorrow to see how it fares, but I'm sure showering with it on would be no problem at all, even swimming.

I've made a slightly larger ring which is the last photo, but I like the way my skin covers the smaller version so you wouldn't even know it was there.

[Johnscot]

And just to let you know, it passes the hardon test without any problems, so would be fine to wear all night.

Great!

I agree that the small one looks amazing - looks like your skin is just staying back on its own.

And since it's silicone, it's not likely to pick up smells or grow nasty buggers, and will be really easy to clean.

Strange, supposedly the chinese rings are of silicone too but they definitely pick up smells :|

Ohhh I doubt they are, lol. Silicone tends to be expensive. TPR or TPE (thermoplastic rubber/elastomer) is a much cheaper alternative. Many sex toys are now made with them. It's great in some ways but not in others. Definitely not as strong or aseptic as real silicone.

[Johnscot]

OK, I'm officially a convert.

Used to be a taper, much prefer this. My problem with taping is it didn't last and I ended up with a stick residue a lot of the time, left on the skin.

This is easy to put on, it more comfortable, I've now been wearing it for 36 hours with no problems, showered, slept, all good.

And because I made the rings myself I've been able to cut and customise to my own requirements. 

[soundsgreat87]

That's great! The stiffness of the silicone hasn't been an issue?

[Johnscot]

Not with the 1mm thick,no.

I did cut the centre hole a little larger, I also shaped the hole to better accommodate my urethra. It's an ongoing work.
