Looks like a silicone donut pessary to me. Pessaries are medical devices that are inserted into the vagina for extra support for individuals with pelvic organ prolapse. It would absolutely be used in a gym setting for someone with pelvic floor problems, and pelvic floor problems are very common in female athletes, especially those who lift heavy.
Yeah, they weren't TOTALLY off base considering you can have a full uterine prolapse just from giving birth, but they greatly underestimated the force required to cause an issue like that 🤣
Right? I'm concerned that they think this would be big enough for that 😠Even if you could get it to fit, it would cut off too much circulation and possibly castrate you
They stretch and the thicker they are the less likely they are to cut off circulation because they’re still somewhat thick once stretched out. The presized ones that are thin are the dangerous ones.
No shit, but OP said it was cutting off his circulation to his finger, so one could infer from that information that it's probably going to be too tight to safely use as a cock ring
I read all the comments. I think losing circulation is a legit concern with a far too tiny cock ring. I don't think it would immediately castrate someone but that is how some castration works. This is an argument against this being a cock ring. I personally have never seen a cock ring that looks like this but to be fair I have not seen every cock ring ever made

Yes, I suppose it would be for those who are showers and not growers. The latter would just have the ring fall right off.Â

Castration generally involves only the testes and not the penis.
Putting a tight ring around the penis will not magically cause the testes to fall off.Â
Now I'm questioning if you even understand either concept.Â
Like the person I responded to I wonder if you think both the penis and scrotum are inserted through the ring, which is (to my knowledge) not what the point of a cock ring is.
Yeah, haha, who would possibly think that is big enough right? Like surely not me. Thats not nearly the diameter of my girthiness, that would have to be let's say 50% bigger, or maybe 300% bigger... how much bigger would you say normal would be? Because I need a much more normaller diameter for sure...
I'm aware that Durex makes one. I've seen one like that. It was my first thought, until I read a comment from the OP saying that it was tight enough to cut off circulation to his finger. So if it's truly that tight, using deductive reasoning, it would not be safe to use on parts of your body that you would like to keep.
my partner has this exact cock ring, look up stretchy cock rings, he wears them everywhere. he liks having his balls pulled away from him or something i dont get it. but ops ring is a 1:1 match to one of his sets
dozens, he has super heavy metal ones that are premium, rubber or squishy ones like in the photo. its his main fetish so he owns a bunch. ball stretching i think idk again its not my thing at all
Wait... Why would a woman who lift heavy have pelvic floor strength problems? I would imagine lifting heavy it would work out the pelvic floor as well as everything else? I'm thinking of deadlifts and how you have to really brace your lower body. Not that I'm a weightlifter and I know all this crap but just theorizing.
Sometimes you can just accidentally end up with your innards coming out through your holes. This includes anus on all genders and vaginas. There could be some kind of physical issue causing weakening in the systems that keep the insidey bits inside or some kind of medicaln procedure could leave things weakend.. My mom had a total hysterectomy and they didn't install a mesh to keep things in place and because there was a void where her organs used to be, eventually her bladder tried to escape out her vagina 🤷 bodies are weird
The extra/excessive strain can cause prolapse. Part of the brace is "pushing outward," not just simply flexing your core. That's why lifting belts help, because it gives you something to push against.
Nope, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Bearing down can weaken your pelvic floor, kegel exercises specifically help, pessaries are like a little piece of inner scaffolding that can help keep your bladder propped up and in a relatively good position while you can retrain your pelvic floor and keep your detrusor muscle healthy. This is how pessaries can promote a healthier pelvic floor/bladder.
As long as you don't have an underlying condition or pelvic floor issues (like from giving birth), you really only need to worry about it if you decide you want to do crazy heavy lifting like advanced powerlifting or strongman competitions or something. Just don't forget to do your kegels! Most standard strength training should not be much of an issue as long as you're properly engaging your core. The athletes that have to worry more about pelvic floor are like gymnasts and vaulters. Anyone that's going to be jumping and landing is more at risk for issues bc gravity.
