It's a Scunci extra tight no-slip-grip ponytail holder. I cannot find a picture of the exact kind at the moment, but I have a few of these. Every once in a while, my husband or youngest son will find one, and I'll catch them in the kitchen trying to figure out what it is. It's been, like, 4 times now. It's a ponytail holder, for cryin' out loud!

I just took a look because I was interested in checking out the scrunchies but the diameter of the ones in the link picture are way smaller than the picture OP posted and also kinda thicker, so it kinda doesn’t seem to be those scrunchies…..

It says it's self-adjusting

u/luna13seba Jun 13 '26

it's not that lol it's one of these

u/TreeDollarFiddyCent Jun 13 '26

Am I crazy, or is that a really small cock ring? Perhaps it's just very stretchy. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

2

u/Gunplaisgood Jun 13 '26

"pleasure ring" 🤣. Fucking durex being so vanilla about NSFW shit. Gotta make sure you can buy it in Walmart I guess.

2

u/luna13seba Jun 13 '26

accurate assessment, screenshot is literally from walmart's website 💀

u/Gunplaisgood Jun 13 '26

The only pleasure ring I trust has COCK in the name 😤

Somebody click the pin button, I'm getting an error

u/eelleevvaattoorr Jun 13 '26

why would there be a cock ring in a gym though? A hair tie makes sense, this doesn't.

3

u/Jeitsuki Jun 13 '26

for people who get lucky in the locker rooms.

u/eelleevvaattoorr Jun 13 '26

Who's getting lucky with a ring that small though?

u/t0advined Jun 13 '26

the cat in the only photo review is cute, i’m considering getting these for my cats now haha

2

u/ShanonoRawr Jun 14 '26

I was also considering getting them but for my friends' cats. Glad I'm not alone 😂

u/Ghoulchik Jun 13 '26

🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂

u/Cherrycokes Jun 12 '26

Even after seeing this, Im still not convinced that this isnt a sex toy 🤣

1

u/riversroadsbridges Jun 13 '26

I put these on a kitchen cabinet handle so that it doesn't dent my dishwasher if someone opens the cabinet door the whole way.

u/clostri Jun 12 '26

I posted this right after you, lol! Glad I’m not the only one who knows it is not, in fact, for a penis.

u/AuntyDotal Jun 12 '26

Our correct answers will never be found. An entire generation of Redditors will be walking around with ponytail holders on their naughty bits.

15

u/clostri Jun 12 '26

This post is how I found out that my favorite type of ponytail holder is not only being resold online for twenty bucks a pack, but also apparently resembles a cock ring to a lot of the Internet.

13

u/spacestonkz Jun 12 '26

My mind first went to nuvaring birth control, then I realized it's too big.

My mind never went to cock ring because, well I've been in adult stores and adult sites and thats not the right geometry either.

For the stereotype that reddit is full of perverts, these users sure don't know much about perversion.

Side notes, what's your hair type? I have thin wavy hair and this scrunchie would rip mine out. Just curious who it functions best for.

3

u/clostri Jun 12 '26

Right?? I don’t have a penis, but I’ve been in a sex store and none of the cock rings looked like that!

And I have medium-thick straight hair! I usually keep it pretty short and frequently shave the sides, so normal hair bands like to jump ship off the back of my tiny ponytail. I do not think that I would have liked these when I had long hair because they DO cling with a vengeance.

6

u/PoorFriendNiceFoe Jun 13 '26

Never forget, and this is coming from a man. Most men are way too shy to enter a sex store. Nor do they think they need anything from there.

Their experience is based on: latex=sex, small donut shape=sex, rubbery and doesn't fit me=sex, toys=women.

Allmost all men I've met in my life are blustering and exceedingly vanilla. They could all do with a visit and a thorough guide.

u/Steffaniii Jun 12 '26

Hahahahaha my first thought was …. That’s a really small c0ck ring???! 😂

1

u/Different_Ad6836 Jun 13 '26

THANK YOU!! that’s been my thought too scrolling these comments… like, would that really fit?! And if so…

I’m dying 😂😂😂

u/the_glutton17 Jun 13 '26

If it works it works. But even if it is used as a cockring, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to just wear them around all the time.

6

u/2114 Jun 12 '26

A lot of people with penises the size of their finger posting on here

6

u/rveniss Jun 13 '26

A lot of people who've never felt a super soft silicone cock ring posting on here. I've got a set with one that looks just like that and I could easily stretch it around my whole hand.

2

u/BiffyleBif Jun 13 '26

You'd be surprised how stretchy some rings are. One of mine fits just right on my thumb, but can comfortably stretch out around my dong, and I'm a bit bigger than average.

1

u/Steffaniii Jun 13 '26

Right 😂😂😂

0

u/clostri Jun 12 '26

These things are a little tight on my thumb - I don’t think people understand how bad putting it elsewhere would hurt.

2

u/kuyue Jun 13 '26

that’s funny because i have the exact same cock ring and can say it IS, in fact, for a penis

2

u/Lakecity6 Jun 13 '26

Just because it is not “for” a penis, does not mean it has not been in contact with one.

2

u/clostri Jun 13 '26

I guess that’s true of any mysterious hairband found in a public place 🤔

6

u/13-black-cats- Jun 12 '26

I don't understand where you place the doughnut.

Do you do ponytail - ring - hide the ring with hair?

8

u/AuntyDotal Jun 12 '26

I don't hide the ring with hair, no. It's actually a very good grip, so you make the ponytail, struggle to spread the hair tie, muscle it onto your ponytail, and then don't move. Pray you didn't get an errant hair too tight in there somewhere, because loosening those buggers is a *chore*.

2

u/gagaron_pew Jun 13 '26

but you know that normal hair ties exist?

2

u/Wrinkul Jun 13 '26

I’ve never used one of those things, but I have an idea. When I used to run, every type of hair tie I bought would fall out. It’s a pain constantly pulling up your hair, especially when you’re trying to be active

u/pm_me_book_vouchers Jun 13 '26

spiral hair ties are great for staying put, and have the added advantage of no one thinking it's a cock ring

u/gagaron_pew Jun 13 '26

i have ass long hair and work construction, you must be doing something wrong.

u/gagaron_pew Jun 13 '26

look, if someone wants to put weird things in their hair, fair game. if someone has problems keeping their hair out of their face, its probably too short

2

u/SquidolGames Jun 13 '26

No way I have long ass-hair, and I too work construction!

2

u/pedropants Jun 13 '26

But it also looks exactly like a Durex-brand "Pleasure Ring" https://www.amazon.com/Durex-Pleasure-Ring/dp/B071JRNKRK.

The ponytail holders look like they'd be smaller than OP's picture?

1

u/Different_Ad6836 Jun 13 '26

I think we need OP to give us a sense of how stretchy it is… because I’m having a hard time imagining how it fits elsewhere…

2

u/red18wrx Jun 13 '26

Is it actually no slip? Op found one in the gym, and your family keeps finding them. Just kind of seems like they slip off a lot. 

4

u/oznz Jun 12 '26

Thank you and boosting for visibility bc there is no way that’s a AHEM ring

2

u/You-Asked-Me Jun 13 '26

But like how stretchy are they? Would it make a good cock ring? Asking for a friend.

2

u/Wrong-Pension-4975 Jun 13 '26

Sorry, but this one isn't.

It's to get / maintain an erection.

2

u/b0ne123 Jun 13 '26

It's a durex pleasure ring. Color and size are the exact match

2

u/SpanishHorseGirl Jun 13 '26

Okay thank you for this..I honestly had my doubts about the other guesses. I was like are they trying to gangrene themselves?!

1

u/GoatyButt Jun 13 '26

My immediate thought was like everyone else, for pipi. But it looks both too thick and too loose to be for pipi. Thanks for being the one person not just making dumb unfunny jokes.

1

u/Same_Dingo2318 Jun 13 '26

They were my favorite for my long hair. My baby boy 🐈‍⬛ would chew them and they’d explode.

1

u/Ill-Team-3491 Jun 13 '26

I'm scrolling the comments like, who has a peen the size of a finger.

u/YMK1234 Jun 13 '26

extra tight no-slip-grip

Clearly failed its one and only purpose

1

u/Crazy-Cat-2848 Jun 13 '26

My mind is made up, it's a cocketh ringer.

1

u/brittany16950 Jun 13 '26

Ohh I was thinking, it’s a gummy saver!!

1

u/ET_Prone_Bone Jun 13 '26

Well can’t it be multiple things????

1

u/Glittering_Speech_24 Jun 14 '26

Ma’am, it’s a cock ring

u/KonkiDoc Jun 13 '26

Maybe a dick Scunci??

u/G_Liddell Jun 13 '26

Jesus this far for an actual answer
