A standard cock ring can look more like a tool than an actual toy. It may enhance the look of a penis and help it stay hard, but there’s not much to it, otherwise. Vibrating cock rings, however, are a different story. These fun toys add an extra layer of excitement and functionality thanks to their pleasurable vibrations.
There are a lot of cock rings to choose from, and many look virtually identical but have entirely different features. If you’re new to the world of vibrating cock rings, it’s understandable to be overwhelmed by all the choices. That’s why we’re here to help.
We’ve spent two months comparing and contrasting some of the most popular vibrating cock rings to determine which one is the best. After a series of painstakingly hard tests, we’ve determined that the Lovense Diamo (available at Amazon) is the best vibrating cock ring. It comes packed with a number of features and a hefty suite of vibration settings, all while remaining whisper-quiet.
If you’re looking for the best affordable cock ring, we recommend the Lelo Tor 2. Lelo is a luxury sex toy brand, so it’s surprising it won our best value pick—but the Tor 2 has consistently been (fittingly) listed at $69 since our testing began two months ago. This cock ring is comfy, sturdy, and delivers consistent vibrations you and your partner are sure to enjoy.

The Tester
I’m a sex-positive Reviewed staff member who has over two years of experience with sex toys. I’m always looking for ways to enhance and highlight experiences in the bedroom, whether solo or with a partner. I’ve been fascinated by cock rings for some time, so I jumped at the chance to get to try out vibrating cock rings. By testing some of the leading vibrating cock rings, I hope to help those curious about these somewhat niche toys get started.
The Tests
From sound volume to waterproofing, we took our cock ring testing seriously.
In the Reviewed lab, we tested several attributes of the vibrating cock rings. One of the most important tests we ran analyzed the rings’ frequencies—how powerful an individual ring’s vibration was—by placing a vibration meter along the motor’s surface. This meter measures the size and speed of vibrations along a given surface.
We tested how loud the vibrations were in decibels. We also fully charged each device’s battery (or gave the device fresh batteries if it used replaceable ones) to see how long it ran. To see how waterproof the rings were, we submerged them in water for five minutes while set to their highest speeds. Afterward, we checked to see if they functioned as normal and if any water leaked into the internals of the device. Finally, we ran the vibrators for 10 minutes to see how hot they got.
At home, our testing was decidedly less scientific, but no less rigorous and thoughtful. The tests I ran at home boiled down to the most essential metric when it comes to sex toys—how good they feel. After putting the ring on, I’d have a solo play session and take notes on how the ring felt—how much I could feel the vibrations, how well it fit around my penis, and how easy it was to switch between settings. I also ran the individual rings at their highest settings and placed them at the other end of the room to determine how loud they were.
What are cock rings?
Think of cock rings as an additional "sex-cessory," so to speak, that'll increase pleasure and target those sensitive areas.
Cock rings are rings designed to go around the base of a penis. They’re worn for both aesthetic purposes and to enhance the sensation and longevity of an erection by slowing blood flow away from the penis. Most are a single ring while some feature two rings for the wearer to put their balls in. Cock rings can be made several different materials including metal, rubber, and silicone.
Vibrating cock rings are, as the name suggests, cock rings that come with vibrating functionality. All vibrating cock rings are made of soft materials like silicone, meaning that they can be stretched to accommodate penises of different sizes. Vibrating cock rings are typically designed for couples play, but there are some more geared towards solo play. Any vibrating cock ring can be used solo.
What are the benefits of a cock ring?
As part of our research on cock rings, we reached out to sexologist Zach Zane, who’s the editor-in-chief of the sex-focused ‘zine, Boyslut and has had his work published in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, GQ, and OUT.
When it comes to cock rings, Zane says there are three major benefits—pleasure, function, and aesthetic.
“Cock rings, especially vibrating cock rings, feel incredible for both the user and their partner, providing additional stimulation,” Zane said. “[Functionally,] cock rings can help trap the blood in your penis, helping to keep it continuously erect during sex. If you have a cock ring that also has a ring for your testicles (and pulls the testicles downward), it can help prolong how long it takes to orgasm, making it ideal for men who struggle with premature ejaculation. [And aesthetically,] cock rings just look cool. They give off a sexy, ‘kinky’ vibe that’s arousing for many folks.”
When it comes to vibrating cock rings specifically, Zach Zane hihglights a benefit as the added stimulation applied to the various parts of a penis, which can help with erections.
How do you put on a vibrating cock ring?
Many cock rings are easy to put on because they're stretchy nature and usually made of a flexible material, like silicone or rubber.
Most instructions for the vibrating cock rings we’ve tested tell users to put the ring over the shaft of their penis while it’s soft or semi-hard. We’ve found that you can put on the ring while hard as long as you’re only putting it on your shaft—if you’re putting your balls in the ring too, you’ll need all the space you can get, so you’ll want to put it on while as soft as possible.
Most vibrating cock rings are designed to only hold the penis itself. The motor is typically designed to be worn “up,” pressed against the wearer’s pelvis. This configuration is for couples play, as the motor will press against the clit during penetrative sex this way. If you’re using a cock ring solo, we recommend wearing it upside down so that it stimulates the balls or frenulum.
While the vibrating cock rings are designed to only fit around the penis, we found it to be more pleasurable to squeeze the balls in the ring too. While most of the rings we’ve tested are more than elastic enough to fit them in, this isn’t the case for all of them. You may find it to be uncomfortable.
How do you clean cock rings?
We recommend cleaning your sex toys before storing them away—there are few things quite as gross as reaching into your bag of sex tech goodies and touching greasy, grimy silicone.
“Often, sex toys come with specific instructions for cleaning the toy, especially if it requires some unique type of cleaning for whatever reason,” explains Zane. So your first order of business will usually be to consult the manual.
Most toys can be cleaned by rinsing them in soap and warm water.
“You can also use a toy cleaner, but I think they’re typically unnecessary. Soap and water can do the trick,” Zane said.
How should a cock ring fit?
“You want the Goldilocks of cock rings,” explains Zane. “Snug enough that it will remain on during sex but loose enough that it isn’t painful.”
You should feel some amount of pressure when wearing a cock ring—otherwise, it might be too big. Fortunately, almost all vibrating cock rings are adjustable, meaning they fit penises of many different sizes. If you need a tighter fit, balls can be squeezed in a vibrating cock ring, even if it’s designed to be worn only around the shaft.
Cock rings are to be worn only for around 30 minutes at a time—risk of injury increases if worn significantly longer. Take off a cock ring immediately if numbness, coldness, or discoloration occurs. Cock rings should only be worn by those who can quickly take them on or off alone.
Are cock rings only for those who have ED?
No. “This isn’t true; any person with a penis who wants to have stronger erections or more pleasure during sex can use a cock ring,” explains Zach Zane.
