The 21st century offers many gadgets for enhancing the pleasure of sexual encounters and self-pleasuring.
Recently, the sex toy industry updated one of the oldest existing sexual aids, the penis ring, also called a cock ring.
A cock ring or penis ring goes by many other names, including a constriction band and tension ring.
When the ring also fits around the testicles, it gets called a penoscrotal ring.
Traditionally, this band slips around the penis’s girth to constrict blood flow, so the man can hold his erection longer.
While effective, modern science provided improvements to its design. You can now purchase a penis ring controlled by a remote control.
Typically, this remote comes as an app for your smartphone, but some of these rings come with a physical remote.
The device lets you control the tightness of the ring and its vibrations if the design offers that feature.
The market immediately flooded with various designs, but we’ve scoured the shelves to find the seven best cock rings with remote controls, so you can simply choose your favorite and begin enjoying enhanced sexual pleasure.
Best for Beginners: Lovense Diamo
You can only purchase the Lovense Diamo from the manufacturer’s website.
Designed for indoor and outdoor use, this programmable sex toy fits penises with a girth of 15 to 35 millimeters. Those who have used it report its effectiveness.
The smooth ring fits comfortably and the electronic motor runs silently. You can operate the device from an app on your smartphone or a mobile application.
One couple who stated they’re new to using sex toys said they started with the Diamo because it scared them the least.
This proved easy to use and both individuals reported enjoying the vibration sensations. The device lets you store up to ten patterns.
It doesn’t come with a physical remote control. Each individual who wants to control the device must download the app and install it.
Multiple individuals can control one device using the app, but not at the same time. Only one remote can connect to the device at a time.
Each person needs their own Lovense account to download and use the app, according to the company FAQ.
You and your partner can both use the device from any distance as long as you both have either WiFi access or 4G/5G access.
Pros
- ultra-quiet
- for use outdoors and indoors
- remotely controlled from any distance
Cons
- only fits larger penises
- requires an online account with Lovense
- app only available for iOS
Most Unique Stimulation: We-Vibe Bond
While it does qualify as a penis ring, We-Vibe designed this ring to provide a different service than other rings.
Instead of wearing it on the shaft area, this ring straps around the rear part of the scrotum to provide stimulation where a man’s legs meet. It resembles a sports ring.
The ring produces sensations useful during sex or the arousal process. You can also wear it for creating a self-pleasuring experience.
Crafted from body-grade silicone and black ABS, you can control it from a smartphone app.
Some users of the device say it proves tough to put on, especially for those with large genitals.
It gets easily caught in hair, so some individuals suggest trimming the genital hair before use. Use this device in private though, because it does make audible noises.
It also takes getting used to wearing it and may not seem comfortable at first.
This USB rechargeable device powers up fully in 90 minutes and its charge lasts two hours.
Pros
- stimulates a larger area
- recharges quickly
- you can’t lose the remote
Cons
- can tear the groin hairs
- only provides arousal
Widest Selection of Vibrations: MysteryVibe Tenuto
When it works, the MysteryVibe Tenuto provides a pleasurable experience with multiple vibration settings that stimulate arousal and excitement for the man.
About one third of those who purchased it say that the motor wore out quickly.
Other complaints include the placement and size of the power and Bluetooth buttons, which proved tough to reach once the individual wears the device.
Others said that the device didn’t go on easily and seemed tough to fit their girth. Once they got the hang of it, most said they enjoyed the toy’s performance.
It includes eight preset vibes and 16 intensities. The device houses six motors for a massage up and down the shaft.
The Tenuto isn’t for everyone. MysteryVibe honestly states that fact. The company developed this penis ring for older adults.
Its multiple motors use an approach called localized vibration therapy to address erectile dysfunction by improving blood circulation.
Pros
- offers many settings
- designed specifically for older adults
- offers localized vibration therapy
Cons
- motor often wears out soon after purchase
- poor placement of Bluetooth and power buttons
Best for Experienced Users: We-Vibe Verge
About 59 percent of the users of the Verge provided it a four- or five-star rating.
You need to plan ahead to use the Verge because it isn’t designed for putting on after you’ve achieved an erection.
According to most users, it went on well with lube. Once on, it stayed on.
Most men who wore this ring found that it worked well once they got it on and placed properly.
This ring vibrates and provides perineum or testicular stimulation when you wear it pointing in one direction.
However, its unique curved design lets the man twirl it around to face the woman and provide her clitoral stimulation.
Some individuals who hadn’t used such devices before found it uncomfortable.
It provides rumbly vibrations that assist both the man and his partner in building excitement.
It’s meant for private use, so expect it to make a bit of noise. Only one user of this device found himself too large in girth to use it.
Pros
- provides perineum or testicular stimulation for the male
- provides clitoral stimulation for the female
Cons
- requires lube to put on
- loud operation
- tough to master its use
Best for the Beach: Hot Octopuss Atom Plus
We’re being a little facetious.
You can actually have sex anywhere using this cock ring, but it offers a waterproof design, which does make it suitable for the beach, jacuzzi, and bathtub.
Wherever you decide to enjoy a sexual encounter, you can count on the Hot Octopuss Atom Plus.
Its dual-motor vibrators offer stimulation for the man and his partner.
You can recharge the power on this ring using a USB cord and plug. The rechargeable battery holds a charge for about 45 minutes.
You wear this design like a traditional cock ring. Users with larger endowments did mention having trouble getting it on.
Once on, most people reported its five speeds and five vibration modes worked well. The setting to adjust the frequency added to the efficacy of the device.
Pros
- holds a 45-minute charge
- offers many settings plus frequency settings
- waterproof
- rechargeable with any USB port and cord
Cons
- only fits smaller penises
Best Overall: We-Vibe Pivot
This wearable smart toy for men fits penises from 26 to 29 millimeters in girth and some men reported needing to use lube to put it on.
It offers 10 vibrating patterns to enhance the sexual pleasure of the man and his partner. More than 50 percent of users rated this product with five stars out of five.
This device’s long-lasting battery and ease of use make it a favorite.
Calling it a “game-changer,” many users of this product reported that its powerful motors produced quick and positive results for them and their partners.
The Pivot works well for self-pleasure, too.
Although a few users liked theirs so much that they quickly wore out the motors, most purchasers reported theirs lasting a long time.
Covered in silicone, this magnetically rechargeable C-ring offers multiple ways to use the device.
Another waterproof design, it comes with a USB charging cable. You download an app to your mobile device to control the ring.
Pros
- long-lasting battery
- app for controlling the ring
- vibrations reach both partners, according to reviews
Cons
- frequent use wears out the motor
- using the app via Bluetooth quickly depletes the battery
Newest Design: Satisfyer Royal One Connect App
Just launching in the US, this European product has yet to hit the shelves in the US but the idea for it came from a survey conducted in the US.
A 2020 Harris Poll survey revealed that 34 percent wanted a better way to engage in virtual sex.
Since the same poll revealed that one in three Americans own a sexual pleasure device, Satisfyer developed the app to allow long-distance interaction.
Their product, ostensibly, started it all.
The penis ring offers six setting speeds and 10 vibration patterns and the mobile app lets you control them.
Made of silicone, the smart device fits over the penis like other rings.
It uses the same essential design shape as other rings without any of the unusual extensions of other designs.
Satisfyer brand’s design also offers a waterproof design. This rechargeable device can work over long distances since it’s controlled by a mobile app.
Pros
- 60 speed and vibration options
- waterproof
- app for controlling the ring
Cons
- limited availability
Choosing the Right Remote Control Cock Ring
When you want stimulation and to hold an erection longer, a vibrating cock ring can help and one with a remote control can include your partner in the process.
It benefits both partners since the vibrations reach both.
While these seven products represent the best available, if you’re new to sex toys, try the easy-to-use Lovense Diamo.
If you already know how to use these items, try the We-Vibe Pivot.
Considerations When Shopping for a Remote Control Cock Ring
By now you’ve probably realized that these electronic cock rings come in a wide array of materials, shapes, and sizes.
Those with a remote control included vary in their function, including multiple vibration settings and constriction capabilities.
These features allow individuals or couples to experiment to discover what works best for them and their partners.
If you’ve never worn a cock ring before, consider starting with a flexible or adjustable device.
This can let you acclimate to the feeling of wearing one and may make you feel more comfortable with the idea of your partner also having control over the stimulation via the remote control or the device’s mobile app.
Think about the features you want before buying.
Some of these electronic penis rings come with an app that you can install on your smartphone to control the device.
Your partner or any person who knows you own the device can also install the app.
When in Bluetooth range, they could theoretically pair with your device similar to how you pair your Bluetooth headphones to your smartphone.
That would allow them to control the device.
If the thought of that scenario makes you shudder, only consider an electric cock ring with a physical remote.
This ensures that only the person holding the remote can control the penis ring. You retain full control by keeping the remote.
Not all remote-controlled cock rings include a built-in vibrator. If you want this feature, carefully review the packaging.
Consider your and your partner’s allergies, if any, before buying your remote-controlled cock ring. Some of these devices use latex in their design.
Latex allergy causes itchy skin, hives, and trouble breathing. Others use metal or silicone.
With respect to those that use metal, check for the metal alloy.
Many products use nickel in them, but a significant portion of the population has an allergy to this metal.
Nickel allergy can cause rashes, pain, redness, and swelling. Silicone allergies produce similar symptoms, plus nausea and itchy, watery eyes.
It may take some shopping to find a cock ring with a remote control that suits your needs and doesn’t contain an allergy-inducing material.
If you haven’t used such a device before, carefully read all of the reviews of each device you consider buying.
Look for reviews from other individuals who had not used such a device before their purchase.
Other inexperienced sex toy users can become your best source of information.
Unlike buying clothes, you can’t buy a penis ring and then try it out and return it if you don’t like it. You keep your purchase because it’s non-returnable.
You can avoid buying something that won’t work well for your needs by reading all of the reviews, especially those by people in a similar situation to yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
When using a device new to you, you’re expected to have questions. We want to help you with this sensitive topic.
Read on to find the most commonly posed questions about using a remote-controlled penis ring and their answers.
Are electronic and remote control cock rings safe to use?
When used correctly, yes, you can safely use an electronic, remotely controlled cock ring or a penoscrotal ring.
The circular-shaped penis ring fits around the penis.
It should fit snuggly since it needs to trap the blood that flows into the penis to create an erection. This allows the erection to last longer.
The remote lets you or your partner control the frequency and the vibration style.
Why would you use a remote-controlled cock ring?
Besides its natural treatment for erectile dysfunction, many people use a penis ring to make sex more pleasurable.
Because the man can “go longer,” the couple can enjoy sex longer.
These cock rings can also add stimulation to the sexual experience since some of these devices include a built-in vibrator, which provides added stimulation for both partners and the remote control device lets either partner adjust the vibrations and speed.
The individual wearing the ring benefits from the added penile sensation, but the inclusion of the remote control can add to the pleasure of both individuals, since it provides control over part of the sexual encounter that either person involved can control.
Who should not use a cock ring, remote-controlled or otherwise?
Check the packaging of the penis ring for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning label.
The FDA recommends these devices carry a warning label that explains who should not use a cock ring.
Those individuals who experience the symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) should visit their doctor before using a penis ring or penoscrotal ring.
Explain the problem and inquire about the use of the ring.
The symptoms of ED point to a larger issue, such as diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, or kidney failure.
Using a cock ring without first consulting your doctor can delay the diagnosis of the larger issue and impair your health.
If you’ve already been diagnosed with cardiac issues, priapism, urination difficulties, or Peyronie’s disease, you should avoid using a cock ring.
Other individuals who should not use this type of device include people who can feel only limited sensations in the groin area.
Without the full ability to feel pain, they could injure themselves by using a penis ring.
Those with hand weakness should not use the device since they may have an issue removing one. Do not use one of these devices while consuming alcohol or drugs.
Does it hurt to wear a remote-controlled cock ring?
Wearing one of these devices should not hurt.
If there is any pain or discomfort, or if the penis becomes cold or numb, a person should remove it right away. Wearing one for too long will hurt.
The safe period of time to wear these devices is 30 minutes or less.
How do you put on a remote-controlled cock ring?
Only put the device on an erect penis. Lubricate the penis with a lotion or gel meant for that use.
Slide the ring on, rolling upwards until you place it in the desired area of the penis. Using the remote control, adjust the ring for maximum comfort.
Some of these devices fit onto the base of the penis, while others of these devices fit onto the tip.
Some remote-controlled devices use a design that also fits around the testicles.
You can wear these electronically controlled penis rings for up to 30 minutes safely.
