If you are a regular reader of the gear essentials' blog, you know that I wear my 8 ounce (1/2" bandwidth) ball weight most of the time. I love the gentle tug and swing as I go about my day. It feels great! (It's even better during sex! WOOF!)
But this past week I've been gearing up for International Mr. Leather by wearing my heavier ball weights. [Last year I made the mistake of wearing my 24 ounce (1-1/2" bandwidth) ball weight cold turkey for 9 hours--I was so sore at the end of the day that I didn't want to see it ever again! You could say I'm in 'training' for IML!] I quickly got to the point where wearing the 16 ounce (1" bandwidth) is comfortable all for 15 hours.
We are also premiering a line of glans rings this year--so I will be wearing a cock ring, ball stretcher, glans ring and my Prince Albert. Is this too much?! (You'll have to stop by our booth--219--and let me know!) Let's say I've got bling!
The endowed dude pictured above has some series huevos! A lot of the guys we see at IML want to start out with the largest ball stretcher--but unless you have been really well-gifted (thank you, higher power) you have to work up to that. A great way to do this is by stacking (see above). It's easier to put on several weights than one large one because you have to fit your ball sack into one large tunnel instead of several thinner ones. (This is how I have been able to add weight.) In addition, I am amazed at how many guys ask for a weight larger than our largest (32 ounces / 2" bandwidth). Not a problem: STACK IT!
Why Wear a Ball Stretcher?
So why wear them at all? They feel awesome as they tug your scrotum and stretch out your ball sack.
It also prevents your balls from retracting upwards when you reach orgasm--many find that this prolongs it and increases the intensity.
In Tantric it is recommended that you stretch your balls manually (or use your ball weight) for several minutes a day for better sexual health and well-being.
Sexual partners often like the rhythm of the weight banging against them--another touch at a time when every nerve ending is hyper sensitive!
When you have one (or more) on, your balls become more sensitive to every touch, stroke, tickle, lick, nipple or slap. You may find yourself whimpering--just a little bit!
Lastly, when you take it off, you experience another sort of sensation--hop in the shower, soap up and start playing and tugging. You may find there is another bullet in your gun!

Show your colors! One of our most popular aluminum cock ring series, the Screws are now available in rich red or blazing blue anodized color with bands of aluminum showing through. We just got them loaded on the website today so be sure to check them out. We are offering blue or red in all sizes of the Screw Series (Quarter Screw at .3-inch, Half Screw at .6 inch and Full Screw at .9-inch). Here is a picture of the Half Screw in red:
Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process in which a coat of color is added to the solid aluminum ring. The process provides a finish for the metal and is environmentally-friendly. The by-products contain no heavy metals, halogens or volatile organic compounds. In addition to vibrant color, the process hardens the surface and thereby increases corrosion and wear resistance.

We occasionally get e-mails from really hung guys and pumpers. They need bigger cock rings. Our largest size is 2 1/8" diameter (which is more than large for most of us). However, that is too small for a pumper. That's when a cock shaft ring comes in handy.
One of the main results of a cockring is that it keeps the blood in your dick so it is bigger and thicker. You get the same impact with a shaft ring.

The Titan .6 by gear essentials is a great choice for a shaft ring. It is smooth, low-profile and classic. Available in .2-inch, .4-inch and .6-inch, you can find the bandwidth that works for you. We are also coming out with smaller diameters for glans rings (head rings) soon. Find the one that works for you.
We promised--and they are almost ready! The new Surge Glans ring (aka head ring) is on its way.
Our company dildo got out of control (again!) and here is the result!

It's so new it's not on the website yet--but you are going to love this new head ring. Wider than anything else we've seen on the market, this light-weight pure aluminum head ring is designed to coordinate with the ROBO Series Surge Cock Ring. It has a concave design that makes your dick look like it is exploding out of the ring!
I've been road-testing this one and I am loving the look and feel.
The Imperial is elegant and dramatic, the American-made stainless steel cock rings in the Imperial Series offer a grander, more majestic choice. Designed in the shape of a flattened donut, this ring offers heft (weighing in at 6 ounces or 171 grams) while leaving plenty of room for beefy thighs! Smooth and comfortable, this is a classic design. Available in a brushed or mirrored finish. Aptly named, the Imperial Series truly is fit for a king.
Hey, Daddy, want a ride you will never forget? Pump up your tool with the Omega cock ring if you want a thicker, longer and harder dick. Give him the fuck he'll never forget!
The Omega, gear essentials' heaviest ring at 11 ounces (312 grams), will give your thrust added power.

Designed for the Alpha male, this hot donut-shaped ring will hug your dick and remind the world that you are in charge. Beautifully crafted and finished in solid stainless steel, this is truly a work of art that will accent your family jewels.
The leather ball stretcher is hot too--it keeps his balls from rising up when he cums. That means a longer, more powerful orgasm.
We'll admit it. Our dildo got away from us yesterday!
We have been talking about our new line of Glans rings (head rings) for a few weeks--here is the FIRST sneak peak! This is the Quarter Screw Glans ring. This Glans ring is an extension of our ROBO Series' Screw cock rings and is made of light-weight aluminum.
The Quarter Screw Glans Ring by gear essentials
This Head ring is extremely comfortable. It's lightweight so it doesn't feel like it is dragging your dick down. The ring fits very nicely beneath the cap of your cock. These will be available on-line very soon and we'll have them with us at International Mr. Leather in Chicago at the end of the month. Stop by our booth (219) for a personal fitting!
This week, gear essentials got two e-mails asking, "How do I measure for a Glans Ring?"
Glans rings are a little tougher to measure--at least with a cock ring your balls help keep the ring on. Frankly, we are still getting the hang of it. However, we have found it helpful to measure when your cock is both hard and soft. (Use the measuring guide on our Sizing Guide to help you figure out the correct diameter. Link: http://gearessentials.com/pages/gearessentials-sizing-guide.) The key to the Glans ring (also known as a head ring) staying on is the size of the head of your penis. Is your cap pronounced or the same width as your shaft? The Glans ring fits right beneath your
mushroom head. Mine is pretty defined so the ring stays on really well. Therefore when I get hard the ring is tighter but not painful. One of my co-workers
(and co-testers) is a major grower so the ring gets too tight when he gets erect. We're working on this one!
We need some testers who are NOT circumcised. Any feedback from uncut guys on the quality of the Glans ring experience? Please post or shoot us an e-mail.
A Glans Ring Circles Your Dick Beneath the Head
Ask yourself:
Am I a major grower?
Do I have a well-defined head (e.g. my dickhead sticks out from my shaft)?
In the design of the new rings (coming out VERY soon) we purposefully had the interiors of the Glans rings squared instead of rounded. In our testing we have noticed that they stay on much better. (The new Glans rings should be available in a few weeks.) We hope to be posting prototype shots soon!
Of course the easiest method of making sure they fit is by trying them on. If you are in Chicago for IML stop by our booth (219) and check them out. Of course, we will be giving personal fittings!
We are loving the look and feel of these rings! (And yes, the sex IS better!) Be sure to check them out! ENJOY!
We are all about better sex at gear essentials! We love weights on our balls, rings on our cock and glans, prostate massage, nipple play and so much more! It's all about having better sex and feeling good! Every day I learn more and more about what makes a body feel good. Today I was talking with a customer about ball pumping. I am finding that I have a lot more to learn! But the learning is the fun part!
The picture below shows a guy wearing his split ring ball stretcher on his balls (where you would expect it) but he also has one on the base of his cock. I first saw this at International Mr. Leather last year. (If it fits--you can wear it!) The benefit of wearing the ball weight around your prick is that you get more weight as well as a larger bandwidth. Our widest cock rings are .9-inches wide (Fury, Full Screw & Total Plunge cockrings). In addition, you can easily stack multiple rings to get a unique width and look. (We've done several blogs on that.) The goal is that you find what feels great to you!
Split Ring Ball Stretchers by gear essentials Around His Balls & Cock
If you have never tried it, the nipple-to-cock connection can be incredibly intense. A lot of guys tell me that their partners tweak and tug their nips and they feel nothing. It's the same old story: we ignore them because society tells us they are a waste of man-body real estate. They aren't going to perk up now--just because you've decided to pay attention. You have to woo them. Show them some love! You can start by pinching and kneading your nips. Invite your partner to suck and gently chew on them but warning: a five-day stubble may just drive you WILD!
An easy way to accelerate the process is by using nipple clamps. It's even more powerful if you alternate nipple clamps with nipple suckers. (We have both on our website.) Suddenly they will come alive and you will feel things you never even dreamed about! You will feel every brush of fabric against your highly sensitized nips for the next day or so! For many, along with that comes a tingle at the base of their dick as the electrical energy races from nips to cock. Your dick starts to bob upwards as your body prepares for some sensory overload and a screaming huge orgasm!
Sex isn't just about genital pleasure. For guys, it is NOT just about dick. Our largest sexual organ is our brain. Almost as important is the shell that is stretched all over our body--the skin. We are covered by scads of nerve-endings that during intimacy are tuned to their highest pitch. All that pleasure washes over you in waves and creates hotter sex.
Ball weights add to the sexual pleasure. They hold your ball sack away from your body. When your body is preparing to have an orgasm, the balls naturally are drawn upwards towards the body. The ball stretcher holds those golden globes back resulting in a larger and more intense orgasm. In addition, the tug on your scrotum is hot. You will be more sensitive to every touch, kiss, slap or nibble on your taut balls.
Really want to go over the edge? Stick a finger (or two...or a butt plug) up that tight ass of yours! Rub it back and forth over your prostate and you will shiver from desire! This massaging motion triggers the feelings of impending orgasm so your body basks in that warm glow of pre-cumming. You can keep this up for hours! (Of course, you won't want to--but see how far you can go.) By the time you do cum you will have leaked 'buckets' of pre-cum.
Of course your cock ring keeps your rod harder, thicker and longer than usual--all the result of the rushing blood not being able to leave as easily. You and your partner will both benefit. And bonus round: your dick is more sensitive as well.
It's all good. It's all fun! AND it feels great! gear essentials....Sex IS better here! ENJOY!
According to the Kinsey Institute, the average erect dick is five to seven inches long (shouldn't they just say SIX?) and four to six inches in circumference.
Whew! Based on what I have been seeing on XTube and Tumblr, I thought the average dick was about NINE inches!
At gear essentials we believe in maximizing what you have! A cock ring will keep your prick--whether flaccid or erect--harder and plumper! Trim your bush a little and shave your shaft and you will appear to be even bigger.
