You can often find questions on the internet about homemade penis rings or alternatives. In principle, there is nothing to be said against it and you are welcome to experiment a little. Just be careful not to injure yourself. We want to give you some ideas and tips and show you what you should look out for.
There are many alternatives to the penis ring, but these are designed to satisfy the man first and are more for lonely nights: Penis pump, masturbator or even the classic sex doll.
Self-made penis rings can be especially suitable for beginners who have never used an erection ring before, in order to try it out a little before buying a real ring.
This way you can try it out and find out how it feels roughly. However, you should be aware that there can be a big difference between a real penis ring and a homemade one, especially because of the different material properties.
One penis ring substitute is the sealing ring. However, you need to know that sealing rings are primarily used to seal pipes. Therefore, they are made of harder material and have a different fit than a cock ring, which makes them less comfortable to wear. Furthermore, sealing rings are not aesthetically pleasing and may be a turn-off.
Other substitutes include rubber bands, shoelaces, hair ties, audio cables, garden hoses and so on. As you can see, there are plenty of options. However, you should be aware that if the band is too thin, it can constrict when you tie it on, which is unpleasant. You should also be careful of sharp edges or other risks of injury.
Do not try to determine the circumference you need for a proper penis ring with a ring you have made yourself. Due to the different material properties, the ideal diameters can differ from each other.
