I've been looking for creative ways to explore CBT (cock and ball torture) and ballbusting play, but I've noticed there's a real lack of dedicated toys designed for that sort of thing. So, I thought I'd experiment with a couple of inflatable cock rings to see if they could double up as a pressure-based ballbusting device.
I bought two different products from Amazon, hoping that at least one of them might be suitable.
1. Fabric Strap Design – £11.99
The first one was a basic fabric strap with a small rubber hose and a hand pump, much like a blood pressure cuff but designed to go around the cock. My idea was to use it to crush my balls instead.
Unfortunately, it failed at the first hurdle. The strap simply wasn't long enough to fit around my balls, so as a ballbusting toy, it was a non-starter. I figured I'd at least try it out as intended and slipped it over my shaft, pumping it up a few times. It did constrict a bit, but even at maximum inflation, it wasn't particularly tight or uncomfortable - certainly not enough to restrict blood flow or act as a proper cock ring.
After a few minutes of trying to see if I could get anything useful out of it, the strap failed completely. The fabric tore, rendering the whole thing unusable. So, not only did it fail as a CBT toy, but it also didn't hold up to even gentle play as a cock ring. Very disappointing, even at a low price point.
2. Inflatable Rubber Ring – £24.55
The second toy looked more promising and was double the price. It was a proper rubber ring - smooth, black, and again, fitted with a hand pump via a small rubber tube. I had high hopes this one as the product's description said that it could also be placed around the testicles. The bad English said this could be done to achieve "different effects."
Sadly, that wasn't the case either. The inner diameter of the ring was simply too small to stretch over my balls comfortably. So, again, I had to default to using it as a cock ring.
When inflated, it behaved in an unexpected way. The ring itself didn't grow - instead, four soft rubber bulges protruded from the inside, pressing gently against my shaft from all sides. But the pressure was minimal. Even fully pumped (and it only took two pumps to reach capacity), I could still easily slide the ring off without much resistance. It didn't do anything to enhance sensation or act as a restrictive device.
I attempted to inflate it further, thinking perhaps I hadn't reached full pressure, but the pipe disconnected from the ring entirely, breaking the toy after just one use.
Neither toy worked for the purpose I had in mind, which was admittedly outside of at least one of their intended uses. But more concerning is that neither of them functioned particularly well even as basic cock rings. The strap version broke after light use and was too weak to make a difference. The more expensive rubber ring offered a nicer design but ultimately failed in the same way - weak sensation, no grip, and poor build quality.
If you're looking for a cock ring, especially one with any level of pressure or control, I wouldn't recommend either of these inflatable options. And if you're exploring ballbusting play, these are definitely not going to give you what you're after. Better to look elsewhere, or perhaps explore DIY options that are designed with more durability in mind.
