Can a cock ring be worn around the balls too? Many can, provided the material stretches enough. Worn around the shaft only, a ring sits at the base of the penis. Worn around the shaft and balls, it passes behind the testicles and holds everything forward, which gives a different, fuller hold. The Slitherine is made from very stretchy silicone and is described as fitting both ways. Start with whichever is easier to put on, and move to the other position once you know how the ring feels.
Slitherine Cock Ring: a purple worm from another world
The Slitherine is a science fiction take on the cock ring, part of the Creature Cocks range. It is shaped like a toothy galactic worm in deep purple, with a row of spikes along its spine, and it coils around the shaft when worn. The silicone is soft, phthalate-free and highly elastic. Its opening is 1.6 inches wide before you stretch it.
The complete piece measures 2.9 inches long and 2.7 inches wide. Wear it on the shaft, or stretch it around the shaft and under the balls. According to the distributor, it is designed to keep you hard longer and to heighten climax.
Best for: For fans of alien and sci-fi creature toys who want a ring with some bite to its look. It suits any level of experience, since the silicone stretches on and off without fuss. Use it for roleplay, partnered sex or solo sessions.

How to use
Clean the ring before you wear it. Add water-based lubricant to the inner surface. Fit it before a full erection: open the band with both hands, slide it down and seat it at the base of the shaft with the spiked spine facing outward. For the shaft-and-balls position, stretch the opening further and ease it behind the balls. The hold should be snug and comfortable. Remove it at once if you feel pain or numbness. It comes off the same way it went on: stretch the band open and slide it clear.
Care
- Water-based lubricant only. Do not use silicone lubricants.
- After each use, wash with warm water and toy cleaner.
- Clean between the spikes and pat the ring dry.
- Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
- Keep it separated from other toys.

Frequently asked questions
Are the spikes sharp?
No. The spikes are molded from the same plush, stretchy silicone as the rest of the ring. They are a visual detail along the worm's spine. Turn the ring so the spine faces away from the body when you put it on.
What size is it?
The opening is 1.6 inches across when unstretched. The whole piece, worm included, is 2.9 inches long and 2.7 inches wide. Because the silicone is very stretchy, the opening expands to fit the shaft or the shaft and balls.
Is it comfortable for longer sessions?
The distributor describes the soft silicone as comfortable enough for longer scenes. As general cock ring guidance, though, take it off after about 20 to 30 minutes and give yourself a break before wearing it again.
Which lubricant works with it?
Use a water-based lubricant. The distributor's note says not to use silicone lubricants with this ring. A small amount on the inner surface helps it slide on and makes removal easier at the end.
Is it suitable for someone new to cock rings?
Yes, it is listed as suitable for any experience level. A stretchy ring is simple to fit and quick to take off. Try the shaft-only position first, and stop if the ring feels too tight.
