Encore Body Shield for Vacuum Erection Devices (VED) & ED Therapy Systems

What are cock rings used for?

A cock ring, also called an ed ring, a penis ring, constriction ring, or tension ring, is designed to help men maintain firmer erections by restricting blood flow out of the penis. This can enhance sexual performance, prolong erections, and improve overall intimacy for men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED).

Are silicone cock rings better than rubber ones?

Silicone cock rings are often favored over rubber rings because they are softer, more flexible, and made from hypoallergenic, medical-grade materials. They tend to offer better durability and comfort, especially for individuals with latex sensitivities.

How do I choose the right ring size?

Selecting the correct ring size is essential for comfort and effectiveness. A ring that is too tight may cause discomfort or be difficult to apply, while one that’s too loose might not provide enough tension to maintain an erection. Use the ED Ring Size Chart to match your measurements with the appropriate inside diameter and tension level.

If you’re unsure between two sizes, many men choose to purchase both to test which provides the most comfortable and effective fit. Since anatomy and tension preferences vary, trying more than one option is often the most accurate way to find the right match.

Can erection rings be used without a vacuum pump?

Yes, erection rings can be used on their own if an erection is achieved naturally. However, they are most effective when used with a vacuum erection device, especially for men with moderate to severe ED.

How do I clean and maintain erection rings and accessories?

Clean all accessories with warm water and mild soap immediately after each use. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Are erection rings and accessories reusable?

Most ED rings and shields are reusable with proper care. Over time, the material may stretch or degrade, so monitor their condition and replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.

How often should tension rings be replaced?

• Reusable rings: Replace every 1 to 6 months, depending on frequency of use and how well they’re maintained.
• Disposable rings: Designed for single use only and should be discarded after one application.

How long can I wear a cock ring?

A cock ring should not be worn for more than 30 minutes at a time. Prolonged use can restrict blood flow too much, which may lead to discomfort, bruising, or more serious complications. Always follow product guidelines and remove the ring immediately if you feel pain, numbness, or discoloration.

Do tension rings hurt?

When used correctly and sized properly, tension rings should not cause pain. A slight pressure sensation is normal, but if you experience significant discomfort, numbness, or discoloration, remove the ring immediately and consider a larger size or lower tension option.

Are cock rings safe for people with health conditions?

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders, sickle cell anemia, or severe cardiovascular disease, should consult a healthcare provider before using a tension ring or any ED device.

Can I use lubricant with a cock ring?

Yes. Water-based lubricants can make it easier to apply and remove the ring, improving comfort and reducing skin irritation. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants with silicone rings, as it may degrade the material.

Can I use the ring during intercourse?

Yes. Tension rings are designed to be worn during intercourse to help maintain an erection. The “U” notch in some models also allows for ejaculation, making them functional throughout sexual activity.

How do I know if the ring is working properly?

If the ring is helping you maintain a firmer erection and you don’t experience significant discomfort, it’s likely the correct fit. If you're not getting the desired result or the ring slips, consider trying a different size or tension level.
