The purity ring was a staple of Disney Channel’s golden era. Innocent, squeaky-clean teen stars sported them as a sign of their commitment to innocence and a desire to remain untainted by the filth of lust. Perhaps more importantly, purity rings were worn as a PR stunt. As time goes on, tweens turn to teens and primal desires take root, and the public has the privilege of watching each star ditch his or her purity ring, one by one.
