Bob40b, that glans ring penis plug sounds like a lot of fun! Do you really keep it in for weeks, and it stays pleasurable the whole time? I've got to try it, bell and all! My wife will get a kick out of it, and if it feels as good as you say, she'll be productively ringing my bell, or make me take it off to have sex with her, unless she enjoys sex with me wearing it, (but probably not the bell.)
My penis is plugged 24/7 for two weeks after which I’ll remove it for cleaning. During the two week period, at least so far (3ish months), I have had 0% issues and 100% pleasure the whole time. The glans ring is IMHO a must have feature for a penis plug! Regardless of how hard or soft my penis is the ring keeps the plug almost always perfectly positioned. I had a penis plug once that didn’t have a glans ring and it was a royal hassle because my penis wouldn’t have anything to do with it and kept pushing the plug out!
As far as what size glans ring to get only trial and error will answer that question. I tried to be scientific about it and used a tape measure to determine the size when erect and when flaccid then ordering a size in the middle. Yay, that didn’t work. Trust me, too small and you’ll have skin problems, too large and the plug won’t stay in place. Ordering the middle size is a good start point but be open to trying other sizes until you find the perfect size. A good thing about the website I bought my plug from is that you can buy just the glans ring without having to buy the plug each time.
I believe I could go longer between cleanings but I also keep my groin area hair free by using a hair removal cream to accomplish this very quickly and easily. However, I’m concerned about the cream getting into my urethra via the hallow tube so I only use the cream while the plug is removed and being sterilized (boiled).
I also use a pipe cleaner to clean the inside of the urethra tube. Over the two weeks a small amount of a white gritty stuff builds up around the exit hole of the plug. Use a new clean pipe cleaner each time.
My “happy” bells are soooooooo much fun! They also add just a bit of extra weight to the plug that is very apparent when they swing back and forth while walking. I do take the bells off when out in public.
I am NOT, repeat NOT a doctor nor do I have any formal training in the medical field but I have researched the UTI issue on the web at reputable websites. What I do to try and reduce the risk of a UTI is to use the shortest plug possible, take daily Cranberry supplements, increased my daily intake of fluids, using sterile catheter lube, sterilizing (boiling) for at least 10” leaving the plug in the water until ready to use and using disposable latex gloves.
Good luck and ENJOY!!!! 😃
