It might have taken over 40 hours of hard work, research, testing, and writing, but it was all worth it in the end! So that is exactly how we reviewed the best cock and ball restraints!
Types of Cock and Ball Restraints
When you hear the words ‘cock and ball restraints’, you’d be forgiven for assuming it was a single type of toy. There are in fact a variety of different cock and ball restraints, so let’s take a look at a few of them!
- Chastity cage – Put your flaccid cock and balls into a chastity cage and find out the true meaning of teasing and tantalization! Chastity cages don’t allow you to become aroused, housing your manhood in a rigid, solid house that won’t budge no matter how hard you get!
- Cock ring – Cock rings are very popular! They sit at the base of your penis – either at the bottom of the shaft or behind the balls – and restricts the blood flow to your cock. This gives you harder erections and makes you last longer!
- Cock/ball harness – Similar to a cock ring, cock/ball harnesses tightly sit around your meat and two veg in order to squeeze and separate them. It might look archaic but it feels great!
- Pillory – If you’ve ever wanted your cock and balls clamped between two solid objects (for example two metal bars of pieces of wood) then a pillory is for you. It holds them firmly and super strongly and allows for them to be teased while you can’t escape!
Why Use Cock and Ball Restraints?
Okay, so why use cock and ball restraints? It’s a fair question, so we’re going to do our best to give you a few answers!
- Pleasurable pain – Sometimes cock and ball restraints can be painful…but in a good way! Some people absolutely love the buzz that pleasurable pain brings them, and it’s all part of the erotic experience!
- Sub/dom play – One of the most fun aspects of BDSM is sub/dom play, where one person is the dominant (in charge) and the other is the subordinate (not in charge). Wearing cock and ball restraints adds to this fantasy and keep the sub locked up and restrained!
- Keeping you hard – As many cock and ball restraints give you a fairly tight squeeze, they restrict the blood that flows into and out of your penis. This in turn gives you stronger erections!
- Helping you last longer – Carrying on from what we just mentioned, stronger erections and more blood held within the penis also helps you last longer, and trains you to build up your stamina in the bedroom!

The 3 Best Cock and Ball Restraints in Test
The 5 Gates of Hell
The 5 Gates of Hell is a cock and ball restraint/cock ring set is made up of five slightly differently sized nickel-plated cock rings that are evenly spaced apart but joined together by a sturdy and simple leather strap. This allows you to wear them however you want; all down the shaft; one ring behind your balls; with the strap on the bottom; with the strap on the top…as you can see, the possibilities are endless! Quintuple the cock rings, quintuple the tightness, quintuple the fun! After all, five rings are better than one!
| Materials | Steel and leather |
| Length | 3 inches |
| Width | 1x 1.25 inches, 2x 1.5 inches, 2x 1.75 inches |
| Waterproof | Yes |
With it’s five steely rings and intimidating looks, The 5 Gates of Hell is a cock and ball restraint that will give you an uncompromising and unforgiving squeeze as you wear it. The five rings are sized for most average sized cocks, and joined together with a natural, smooth feeling leather that provides a bit of cushioning while you wear it. Unfortunately The 5 Gates of Hell is not going to be for everyone. Some people won’t enjoy the feel of steel and would rather go for something a bit less unforgiving. Also, because it’s made of steel it will only put the squeeze on cocks of the correct girth. If your penis is on the larger side then it might hurt you, and if it’s on the smaller side then it’d be like throwing a hot dog down a corridor.
DOMINIX Deluxe Cock Ring With Ball Strap
The DOMINIX Deluxe Cock Ring With Ball Strap combines the strong squeeze of steel with the gentler grip of leather. It is totally adjustable to ensure it fits perfectly, and it comes with a padlock to keep you trapped in there. Position the adjustable strap just behind the balls in order to involve your testicles in the action while feeling an incredible amount of restriction, the likes of which your meat and two veg will have never felt before. It may look a little too involved to put on, but it’s totally worth it. Cock and ball torture has never been so fun!
| Materials | Steel and leather |
| Width | (ring) 2 inches |
| Waterproof | Yes |
| Allergies | Latex-free |
If you want a cool looking cock and ball restraint then the DOMINIX Deluxe Cock Ring is a great option. The steel and leather combo feels and looks great, and they work together well, restraining and squeezing your manhood. If you need to lock it and keep it in place, grabbing and grasping at your cock and balls, then it comes with a padlock. It is also fairly discreet, unobtrusive, and wearable if you want to keep it on during sex too, meaning that you can get a double shot of pleasure to the penis! Some people might prefer a more steely cock and ball restraint, but that comes down to personal preference and in no way reflects on how well the DOMINIX Deluxe Cock Ring does (or doesn’t) work. Also, the steel ring is 2 inches in width, meaning that unless you have the correct sized cock, it might not have too much of an effect.
Penis Prison w/ Pin Prick Lining
The unique looking Penis Prison w/ Pin Prick Lining is basically a black leather pouch that can be open and closed with a zipper, and it’s held in place by a lined elastic band and a thin, leather cock strap that takes a small lock. But wait, that’s not all – within this pouch are 190 little pin pricks that poke, scratch, and spike into your cock and balls! The pins might only be very short (and as such, almost definitely won’t break the skin unless a lot of pressure is applied), but they feel incredible. This certainly is a one-size-fits-all kind of cock and ball restraint pouch!
| Materials | Leather |
| Length | (pins) 0.125 inches |
| Waterproof | Yes |
If you don’t mind a little prick in your…well, prick, then the Penis Prison w/ Pin Prick Lining is one of the most uniquely exciting cock and ball restraints out there! Put your cock and balls into the pouch, zip it up, and make sure it’s secured tightly around the base of your cock and balls. As you wear it the pricks will poke and dig into you, sending random jolts of pleasure! It really is a unique form of cock and ball restraint! Now because the Penis Prison w/ Pin Prick Lining is designed to be a pouch, not everyone is going to get enjoyment out of it. Some people prefer the rigid, stuff, unforgiving grip of metal or even leather cock and ball restraints. It’s different, yes, but not necessarily bad. Also, the pin pricks might not provide the same kind of pain and tantalization that people were expecting, so be sure that you like this sort of sensation before you buy! Oh, and one more thing – it’s not great for long term wear, as you have to remove it when you need to pee!
