The King Rings Sizing Process

The measure and calculate method promoted elsewhere is prone to error but – importantly – even when it’s done right, all you end up with is a good guess.

An estimate may be all you need if the sizes available are limited. Meaning, if you had to choose between 1.5 inch, 2 inch and 2.5 inch, a calculated ring size estimate of 1.9 inches may be all you need. Two of the three options are obviously no good.

King Rings sizes differ by 2mm (about 1/16th inch), the width of a grain of rice. This affords opportunity to really dial in a perfect fit and the only practical way to discover your ideal size is through experimentation with fully functional rings in an assortment of sizes.

It’s about precision. We craft highly precise tools for performance and pleasure, and we provide a sizing process which is equally precise. There is no room for guess work.

If you are experienced with rings of this type then you are at an advantage, you will approach the sizing process with greater confidence but you should not skip it. Three main reasons:

1. The rings you have were the most appropriate sizes available at the store where you purchased them. Maybe there was a little compromise in that choice, you had to pick the “closest” ring to your self-measure. What if your ideal fit were just slightly smaller, how would you know unless you try?
2. The width of King Rings bands tend to make them fit more snug than thinner bands with the same inside diameter. They also compress a larger volume of tissue, which allows them to do the same work without having to be as tight. Using a standard steel donut ring as a reference point for size selection may disappoint you.
3. Money saved. We are so confident in the value of our sizing process that we offer a financial incentive to start your King Rings journey with a set of sizing rings. We give you the entire investment back plus a little extra spending money in the form of a store credit.

The “Three Finger Rule of Thumb” is primarily a safety check before things get hard. Some gentlemen get nervous about becoming trapped in a ring and this technique allows you to estimate probable outcome before committing to the erection.

Fingers are a blunt tool and vary in size among individuals. This is NOT a stand-alone sizing technique but can shortcut you to the appropriate size range for performance testing – which is key to success.

It is not enough to assess fit without becoming erect in a ring. You need to experiment to know how well a ring performs for you during playtime. You want a ring that provides a gentle but persistent boost without being overly restrictive.

Maybe. But this is insufficient to justify an investment.

The plastic sizing rings are a very poor proxy for casual wear of our heavy metal rings but they perfectly mimic the constrictive nature. This is why we emphasize the importance of performance testing.

Find the size which is wrong for you. Seriously, that’s the trick.

Use the “Three Finger Rule of Thumb” to work your way down to a 2 finger fit – then switch to performance testing (becoming erect in the ring). If the ring does not produce a purple throbbing monster, then move down a size and repeat.

You are looking for the ring which is too small for comfort when erect. By this we mean; excessive discoloration, a dull ache, or anything that robs you of pleasure. You want to pay attention to the erection itself, not how the plastic feels against your skin. This is your too-small size, it may be suitable for casual only wear but is a poor choice for playtime.

It is VERY unlikely you would become trapped in a sizing ring but – admittedly – we are suggesting you push the boundary. For this reason, our rings are engineered with a breakaway feature to alleviate any fear of entrapment. A quick twist with needle nose pliers and you’re out.

Your ideal metal ring size is one size up from the too-small size. So if your wiener got angry in a 48mm then your go to size is 50mm.

Can you wear the ring all day? Yes. Will is slip? Maybe, but it is your best option for a single ring and we can offer tips to mitigate slip.

Some gentlemen with multiple rings step down to the too-small size for casual wear only.

For example, your preferred size for extended sessions with your partner is a 50mm; it fits great, is very comfortable, and gives your erection a gentle but persistent boost without being overly aggressive. You can comfortably wear a 50mm ring casually all day, but it is prone to slip some, especially on hot days.

One size down, 48mm, may stay put much better when worn casually and when your partner surprises you with unexpected attention, the 48mm will do its job very well – a little too well – and so you limit your activity to a “quicky”. You won’t get trapped in a 48mm, it is just pretty uncomfortable after 10 minutes fully erect.

Note that you should always always always fully vet ring sizes in breakaway plastic sizing rings before slipping into metal. Your judgement, your result, be safe.
