What is a glans ring and where is it worn? A glans ring is a small ring worn at the tip of the penis, not at the base. It sits in the groove behind the head, along the corona, which is one of the most sensitive areas. The light squeeze there makes the head fuller and more responsive to touch. Many people also wear one as jewelry. The Kingpin is an open ring, so it can be eased slightly wider or narrower to sit securely without clamping too hard.
Kingpin Stainless Steel Glans Ring with open fit
The Kingpin is a glans ring made of nickel-free stainless steel. Swirling patterns run around the band and the two ends finish in curls. It is worn behind the head of the penis, where it presses on the corona and makes the head firmer and more sensitive. A partner can feel the texture of the ring as well.
The ring is open, not a closed loop, so the fit can be adjusted a little by squeezing or easing the ends. This is the 30MM size, with an inner diameter of about 1.2 inches. Stainless steel also responds to temperature, so it can be warmed or cooled before wear.
Best for: Suits wearers who want extra sensitivity at the head during solo play or sex, or who like the look of penis jewelry. It fits a head ridge close to 1.2 inches across. It is not for anal play, where the ring could come off and be lost.

How to use
Put it on while soft or partly erect. Apply a little lubricant to the head, slide the ring over it and seat the band in the groove just behind the ridge. Check the fit: it should feel snug, with no pinching. If needed, take it off and gently squeeze or open the ends a small amount. Do not bend it far or often, since that weakens the metal. As general guidance, wear it for no more than 20 to 30 minutes at a time, and remove it at once if you notice numbness, coldness or pain.
Care
- Wash with mild soap and water after each use and dry well.
- Any lubricant type can be used with solid stainless steel.
- Adjust the opening sparingly. Repeated bending weakens the ring.
- Do not use it during anal play.
- Store in a small pouch so it does not get scratched or lost.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if the 30MM size fits?
The inner diameter is 30 mm, about 1.2 inches. Measure the width of the groove just behind the head when erect. The open design allows a slight adjustment either way, but it is not meant to be reshaped by much.
Is this the same as a cock ring?
Not quite. A standard cock ring sits at the base of the shaft to hold blood in the whole erection. A glans ring sits behind the head and concentrates pressure and sensitivity at the tip.
Can I wear it during sex?
Yes, it is designed for that, and a partner will feel the textured band. The distributor warns against using it for anal play because the ring could slip off inside. Check that it is seated firmly first.
How long can it be worn?
General guidance for any constricting ring is 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Take it off sooner if the head becomes numb, cold or painful, and never fall asleep wearing it.
Can I bend it to make it tighter?
Slightly. The ring is open so you can squeeze or ease it a little. The distributor notes that bending it too much weakens the metal, so make small changes and avoid working it back and forth.
