And:
Get a packet of three nitrile or rubber rings, or a packet of the kind that are stretchy.
That way you can also experiment to find the size that fits the best for you, and you will be able to get used to wearing them.

That isn't the case with the metal and steel cock rings -- they are sized, usually 50mm in diameter, 45mm 41mm and 38mm diameters. The width of the metal ring is also variable.
As for the stretchy kinds of rings, yes, they are one size fits all, some being a bit tighter than others, but they adapt to the person's own size..
I would definitely suggest anyone who hasn't used a cock ring start with the stretchy kind. The stretchy kind often are just as good and effective, anyway.
You might find some claim this but in my experience it’s rubbish, they just keep you harder by trapping the blood flow
In most cases a cock ring will help one delay orgasm, it becomes much easier to control
The 3 of them are also slightly different with thickness
I think that we have the same cock rings! Do yours have bumps along the rubber like in this photo?
However, it is always best to use stretchy ones at first, to get used to how they work, and to get used to working with them, and also because if you feel discomfort they are easy to remove. With metal rings you have to already know how to use them. It's obviously safer that way.
As with any such product, YMMV. Always use caution. Always be aware of how your body reacts, including your cock. You only get one of them.
For size you can do what other posters have said and measure with string. You can also go to the hardware store and buy a few different sizes of o-rings and try them out. The silicone o-rings come in a variety of sizes and they are cheap. You can figure out your size from there and then buy a more expensive ring if you want. They also sell cheap metal rings in the rope and tackle section. Sized right, you can wear a ring all day as jewelry.
If you want to experiment first, there’s a leather/rubber ring called a speed strap. It’s got a bunch of snaps on it and you just size it appropriately, and when you want to take it off, just pop the snaps. Easy peasy. Also a good starter way to get into it.
The more advanced rings are called cock cages, and are several rings combined into one. So one around the base (cock and balls), one for the balls, one for the shaft. Some 4 ring cages separate the balls. Some incorporate ball stretchers, or stacks of rings that go around the balls. Lots of fun.

Like you, I use several types. Mostly steel or aluminum, either band type, donut type, or ergonomic (which fit well, work well, and are easy to take off). I started out with the stretchy kind, and once I got used to wearing that I then tried metal O rings from the hardware store, estimating my size by measuring my diameter at the base, and then getting similar diameter rings (50mm). I then went to 45mm inner diameter, which was a little more snug than 50mm. but I could still get a pinky finger between ring and penis, which is a good measure to tell that it's not too tight on you.
I forgot about the leather snap kind. I tried one a few years ago, but it broke. But yeah, it's very safe and a lot of guys seem to use them.
I think any time someone is messing with rings down there they need to take their time getting used to using one, and start out with the safer ones. Know what you're doing. Listen to your body. And if you are using a stiffer material type of ring, TAKE BREAKS. It's just common sense.
