Every week, The CSPH takes a look at a sexual aid that can be just so darn spectacular for some people, that it needs to be highlighted. This week’s sexual aid is the Tantus Super Soft C-Ring!
How does this product work?
This cock ring by Tantus is made of a thick, brightly colored silicone that is hypo-allergenic and phthalate-free. It comes in a minimalistic clear plastic casing that easily snaps shut around the ring, allowing the toy to be stored safely between uses. In addition to being stretchable yet strong, the silicone of the toy can be stretched comfortably to a diameter of three inches without risk of breakage. Unstretched, it has a diameter of 1 ¾ inches and weighs a mere 0.1 pounds. It’s a simple toy, but it can pack a big punch.
A basic toy, the ring is smooth to the touch and should be easy to use for both new and experienced cock ring users. As with all cock rings, it is designed to constrict blood flow in the penis, allowing the wearer to experience increased stamina and maintain an erection for a longer period of time. Additionally, it can intensify orgasms for the wearer, who can choose to wear it either over the entire penis (shaft and testicles) or around the shaft alone, pushed up against the scrotum. It also stiffens an erection, prolonging sexual experience during either coupled sex or solo play. Although the ring’s fit is firm and tight, it will fit most bodies without feeling constricting or painful, and should hardly be noticeable during sex (other than the bright orange color, of course!)
Important Things To Note
The simple, no-frills design is non-intimidating and uncomplicated. It can be worn with a condom or at the same time as other cock rings of different sizes and designs. Deck your cock out with all sorts of delights!
While the premium-grade silicone helps prevent it from catching on pubic hair while donning or removing the ring, users should consider using a non-silicone based lube to lubricate the inside of the ring and the base of the cock before usage. You won’t want to ruin this lovely item by damaging its smooth finish, so your choice of lube is key.
As it does not vibrate or have a ridged texture, this toy is most appropriately used on a bio-cock, as it will not add any increased stimulation and feeling to a strap-on cock (though it could add a nice bit of festive color). Care must be exercised while pulling the balls through the stretchy ring to avoid injury, and the ring should be slowly stretched over the testicles rather than forced roughly on or off. Wearing it against the base of the penis will be a tighter fit than wrapping it around the shaft alone.
The packaging contains the ring and a small cardboard insert with basic wearage and cleaning instructions. It is important that the ring is not worn for longer than 20 or 30 minutes at a time to avoid internal damage. And if it feels overly constricting or painful at any time while worn, take it off! Dying cocks are no fun for anyone.
Keeping It Clean
As it is made out of 100% silicone, the toy is easily washed in a variety of ways: clean it by hand using warm water and gentle soap, throw it in the dishwasher, or boil it for complete sterilization. However, the material can collect dust and lint if stored without packaging, so you should wipe it down both before and after use.
Overall, the Tantus Super Soft C-Ring is an excellent basic and affordable addition to any penis-owner’s toy collection. To paraphrase Beyoncé, show just how much you like a penis—your own or someone else’s—by putting a ring on it.
