What's the difference between the 2?

Can a cock ring be used with a VED?

...

No you made sense. Medical grade constriction are usually much tighter and have handles to assist with getting them off. Now I know what to get thank you.

I have used many cock rings over the years, including a doubled over 1/2” wide rubber band around my whole unit. However, as my ED became progressively worse, only the Osbon tension band has enough tension to maintain my erection. In fact, now I often need to use two. Based on my experience. I would say the Osbons are made of a better quality, Stronger silicone which lasts longer and do not loose tension over time. I am currently using one which I bought over two years ago (probably used over 600 times.)

My (incomplete) understanding of the difference between a cock ring and a constriction ring is that a constriction ring is a subset of cock rings that is designed to cut off the flow of blood out of the penis. A lot of cock rings don't cut off all the blood flow. In the past when erections came easy, I liked to wear a strap around my penis and balls. It worked best when I put it on before becoming completely erect. Maybe it was an illusion but I felt it helped delay my orgasm and when it came it was more explosive.

As stated by dwarren1942 Osbon rings are the gold standard of medical grade constriction rings. They are a bit pricey and finding the best size, tension, and number can be expensive. When I use my Osbon(s) I use a foam sleeve which in addition to relieving some of the discomfort of wearing a high tension ring(s) makes it much easier to remove the ring(s) when done. Just slide the sleeve with the ring(s) still on off over your freshly lubed dick.

Lately I have been using a Mach 1 #7 ring to maintain a pumped erection with a tantus c-ring over my dick and balls. The foam sleeve doesn't work well with the c-ring so I haven't tried an Osbon with the c-ring.

I heard you can wear a cock ring for up to an hour if your penis is used to it. But a high grade osbon ring, how long should you wear those for?
