They will help in some cases if used correctly. I have found the wider ones to be more comfortable to wear with less pinching. Don't forget not to wear them for more than an 1/2 hr at a time. You did not mention your name or health status. They worked for me for years but as I aged and the venous leakage became worse, which is why you need the rings to keep the blood in the penis. I switched to the shots which did not work at all for me due to the amount of leakage I had and the long term damage from diabetes. My next step will be an implant at the end of June. Good luck to you.
