Middle Paradox. 1.77 inch. Same split metal. Measure first.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
MERCI The Paradox 1.77" earns its spot too. It feels good in the hand, better on the body, and it's the one people keep grabbing after the first try. And Master Series Kingpin 1.18" if you want another option.
Solo, wear it for a long stroke session. The pressure makes everything feel fuller, and the buzz at the base is a nice cheat. Face the motor up for their clit, or down toward the balls. Either way you'll both feel it, and you'll both be loud.
Before you buy
Buying guide
The one we'd put on first
Tantus Super Soft C-Ring. Think firmer, slower to finish, and a little vibrating bump grinding against their clit on every stroke. Alone, it turns a quick one into a slow, throbbing edge. Add lube and don't rush.
If you want something else
If none of these grab you, Best silicone cock rings is close. So is best beginner cock rings.
