How Do I Measure For A Metal Cockring?

Many people contact us each day asking how to properly measure for a cock ring.  We've written up this little guide to help:

Ballistic Metal is unprecedented in the metal cockrings market and we make all our own rings at our facility in Chatsworth,CA. We make a wide variety of styles and sizes sure to please everyone.

Whether you are considering your first ring or are a seasoned collector, this guide should help make the sizing choice a little easier.

Sizing for my new Cockring:

Our Ballistic Metal Cockrings fit around the base of your penis behind the balls. It is important while measuring that you are warm (the boys hanging loosely) and flaccid.

Measure And Mark: While flaccid, use a string, fabric ribbon, tailor tape or even a strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your penis behind your scrotum to get a measurement of circumference. This should be a gentle wrap, firmly against your skin but not squeezing flesh into any wrinkles. Mark the overlap, straighten out the ribbon, and measure between your two marks in millimeters or inches. Take that number (this is your circumference) and divide by 3.14 to give you your inside ring diameter (this is how are rings are measured).  

Example: My circumference comes to 6.28 inches.  Divide by 3.14 and that gives you 2 inches which would be the size cockring you'll want.  It's personal preference if your size is in between two sizes which you go with.  You go to the smaller size for a tighter fit and to the larger size for it a little looser depending on your comfort.

Sizing for Glans Rings:

Glans rings fit on the shaft of the penis, just behind the head (glans), and are a bit trickier to measure. Unlike a cock ring, which is held in place by the scrotum, a glans ring is held in place almost exclusively by its grip just behind the edge (corona) of the penis head. To fit properly, the glans ring should be loose enough to allow your penis to expand when erect, yet small enough to not slip past the corona when you are flaccid.

Measure And Mark: While flaccid, use a string, fabric ribbon, tailor tape or piece of paper and wrap it around the shaft of your penis just behind the head to get a measurement of circumference. This should be a gentle wrap, firmly against your skin but not constricting. Mark the overlap, straighten out the ribbon, and measure between your two marks in millimeters or inches.  Take that number (this is your circumference) and divide by 3.14 to give you your inside ring diameter (this is how are rings are measured).  

Example: My circumference comes to 3.93 inches.  Divide by 3.14 and that gives you 1.25 inches which would be the size glans ring you'll want.  It's personal preference if your size is in between two sizes which you go with.  You go to the smaller size for a tighter fit and to the larger size for it a little looser depending on your comfort.

We hope this helps make the sizing task a little easier for you.

Thank you,
