The TechRing tracks nighttime erections and measures firmness, quality and duration for $275, while the Performance Ring and MaxPR give performance support without tracking for $60 each.
Below are 45 plain answers from the TechRing Night Guide, grouped by topic: what tracking is, how the TechRing measures, choosing a ring, fit, safety, buying and the app. Facts come from FirmTech product pages as of November 2026. For anything not covered, contact FirmTech directly.
Usually whether it will fit. One size fits 95% of men, up to 5.5 inches (14 cm) erect girth, with an adjustable strap. Check yours on the ED ring size chart.
Nighttime erection tracking is recording the erections a man has while asleep, including how many happen, how strong they are and how long they last. The TechRing from FirmTech does this at home: you wear it to bed, its built-in sensors log each nighttime erection, and the night syncs to the FirmTech app in the morning.
Because they happen without arousal, nighttime erections are a clean read of blood flow, hormones and nerves. FirmTech notes that changes often show up overnight first, before a man notices anything during sex. Tracking them over several weeks gives you a personal baseline and a trend you can share with your doctor if you choose.
FirmTech states that healthy men have 3 to 5 erections a night during sleep. They happen on their own, without sexual thoughts or stimulation. A single night says little, so the TechRing app focuses on your count, strength and length over time rather than one reading. Talk to a doctor if you are worried about a change.
Researchers study that link. Erections depend on healthy blood vessels, and FirmTech points out that penile arteries are smaller than the arteries of the heart, so circulation changes can show up there first. FirmTech also cites a 2024 Urologiia paper on overnight erections as a predictor of coronary heart disease. Tracking is not a diagnosis; a doctor should interpret any concern.
Not necessarily. Morning erections appear with no sexual stimulation, which makes them a useful daily checkpoint, but one missed morning can reflect sleep, alcohol or stress. A pattern over weeks means more than a single day. The TechRing records the whole night, not just the morning, so you see every nighttime erection instead of guessing.
Not with the TechRing. FirmTech says that until now, measuring erections meant a sleep lab, while the TechRing does it at home during sex or overnight. Clinic testing still has a role, and FirmTech is running a clinical trial comparing the TechRing with RigiScan, which it calls the clinic standard, with 35 men enrolled.
No wearable replaces a medical diagnosis. The TechRing gives you and your healthcare provider objective data on firmness, duration and nighttime erections, which FirmTech says can help diagnose and manage cardiac and sexual health issues. Your doctor makes the diagnosis; the ring supplies the numbers between visits.
The TechRing measures erection firmness, quality and duration during sex, and the count, strength and length of nighttime erections while you sleep. The FirmTech app rolls everything into an Erectile Fitness Score from 0 to 100, plus insights on what affects it, such as sleep, drinks, workouts and medication you choose to log.
The Erectile Fitness Score is one number from 0 to 100 in the FirmTech app that rolls up every session and every night you record with the TechRing. It lets you see your trend at a glance. Log habits like sleep, alcohol and exercise, and the app shows which ones move your score.
Put it on before bed the same way you wear it during sex: one loop under the testicles and one around the base of the penis, adjusted for comfort. It tracks on its own while you sleep. In the morning, hold the button for 3 seconds, put it on the charger and connect in the app to sync the night.
FirmTech says wearing the TechRing once a week gives you a clearer picture of your vascular and sexual health. More nights build a stronger baseline, since a single night says little and several weeks of nights say a great deal. Many men build up to overnight wear gradually until it feels natural.
The TechRing battery lasts up to 12 hours on a full charge, which covers a full night of sleep. It charges with the included USB charger, and a full charge takes 2 to 4 hours. Charging it during the day means it is ready to wear at bedtime.
Yes. Worn during sex, the TechRing applies gentle, even pressure at the base that slows blood from flowing back out, so erections are firmer and last longer. At the same time its sensors record firmness, quality and duration. It works solo or with a partner and does not restrict ejaculation.
FirmTech publishes its research rather than a single accuracy figure. A 2025 paper in Translational Andrology and Urology covers the TechRing, and a clinical trial comparing it with RigiScan, the clinic standard, has 35 men enrolled. FirmTech reports more than 308,000 erections analyzed. The research page lists the published studies.
Choose the TechRing if you want performance support plus tracking of firmness, quality, duration and nighttime erections. Choose the Performance Ring for firmer, longer erections with a comfortable fit and nothing to charge. Choose the MaxPR for the tightest fit and the most intensity, worn up to 90 minutes at a time.
Both are doctor designed with the same peno-scrotal fit, adjustable tension and up to 12 hours of safe wear. The TechRing ($275) adds built-in sensors, a Bluetooth app connection and nighttime erection tracking, with a 1-year warranty. The Performance Ring ($60) has no electronics, nothing to charge and a 3-month warranty.
It depends on your goal. The TechRing is the only FirmTech ring that tracks, and it can be worn up to 12 hours, including overnight. The MaxPR is the tightest FirmTech ring, rated 5 of 5 for tightness and built for maximum hardness and more intense orgasms, but it is worn for up to 90 minutes at a time.
An erection ring, also called a c ring, constriction ring or tension ring, sits at the base of the penis and applies gentle pressure that slows blood from flowing back out. That helps erections stay firmer for longer while it is worn. FirmTech rings also loop behind the testicles for an anatomical peno-scrotal fit.
Yes. FirmTech describes the TechRing as the world’s first smart wearable for the penis. It supports firmer, longer erections in the moment and records firmness, duration and nighttime erections. The FirmTech Performance Ring and MaxPR are wearable ED rings without electronics. All three work without pills or a prescription.
Yes. FirmTech sells the TechRing with either the Performance Ring or the MaxPR as a bundle for $295, instead of $335 bought separately, a $40 saving. The idea is to track with the TechRing and keep a simple ring for the times you just want the feel.
FirmTech says many men use the TechRing alongside other treatments and use the app to see what is working, such as comparing nights on different doses. FirmTech also presented research comparing PDE5 inhibitors, the Performance Ring and both together at ISSM 2024. Talk to your doctor about your specific situation.
One size fits 95% of men, up to 5.5 inches (14 cm) erect girth, according to FirmTech. The hook-and-loop strap adjusts to your exact size, so there is no size to pick. If it does not fit, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers you, and you can start a return through the FirmTech returns portal.
When erect, wrap a soft tape measure or a piece of string around the base of the penis, then measure the string against a ruler. If the result is 5.5 inches (14 cm) or less, FirmTech rings fit. Measure at the base, where the ring sits, rather than along the shaft.
FirmTech rings do not come in sizes, so the size chart is short: all three fit up to 5.5 inches (14 cm) erect girth with adjustable tension. What differs is tightness and wear time: TechRing 3 of 5 and up to 12 hours, Performance Ring 3 of 5 and up to 12 hours, MaxPR 5 of 5 and up to 90 minutes.
Snug but not tight. FirmTech says to fasten the ring so pressure is firm but never too tight, then fine-tune for comfort with the adjustable strap. If you feel pain, numbness or coldness, loosen or remove it right away. The MaxPR is intentionally the snuggest of the three FirmTech rings.
Yes. FirmTech rings are designed to go on when you are soft, so you can put one on discreetly ahead of time. Open the loop, drop the testicles through, set the second loop around the base of the penis and adjust. It takes a few seconds.
FirmTech designed and studied the TechRing for overnight wear, and it is made from soft, medical-grade, latex-free elastomer with nothing hard or rigid. FirmTech presented research on the safety of a smart penile constriction ring worn overnight at AUA 2024. Overnight wear can take getting used to, so build up gradually.
The common problems with any erection ring come from wearing it too tight or too long: discomfort, numbness, bruising or a cold feeling. Following the wear limits avoids most of them: up to 12 hours for the TechRing and Performance Ring, and up to 90 minutes for the MaxPR. Remove the ring promptly if anything hurts.
Ask a doctor first if you have a bleeding disorder, take blood thinners, or have any condition that affects blood flow or sensation in the genitals. Rings that hold blood in are not right for everyone. FirmTech rings are doctor designed, but your own doctor knows your history and should confirm a ring is safe for you.
For FirmTech rings, the safe wear times are up to 12 hours for the TechRing, including overnight, up to 12 hours for the Performance Ring, and up to 90 minutes for the MaxPR. These limits come from FirmTech product pages. With other brands, follow the instructions from that manufacturer, since limits vary by design.
Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants only. FirmTech says not to use natural oil lubricants such as coconut oil or CBD oil with any of its rings. Rinse the ring with warm water and mild soap after each use and let it dry before storing it.
All three FirmTech rings are made of medical-grade elastomer that is phthalate-free and latex-free. The TechRing is splashproof, while the Performance Ring and MaxPR are water resistant. FirmTech states its rings are FDA registered and designed with leading urologists, so there is nothing hard or rigid against the skin.
FirmTech says its rings keep blood in without blocking release, so they do not restrict ejaculation. The MaxPR is snugger, and FirmTech describes it as producing a more intense finish. If ejaculation ever feels painful or blocked with any ring, loosen it or stop, and speak with a doctor.
The TechRing costs $275 from FirmTech, as of November 2026. That includes the ring, the USB charger and the free FirmTech app for iPhone and Android. FirmTech also lists 4 interest-free payments of $68.75. Replacement sleeves start at $15, and FirmTech suggests a fresh sleeve about every 30 nights.
The Performance Ring and the MaxPR cost $60 each from FirmTech, as of November 2026. Neither has electronics, so there is nothing to charge or pair. Each can be bundled with RingMate, a vibrator that slides onto any FirmTech ring, for $120 instead of $129.
Yes. FirmTech says the TechRing, Performance Ring and MaxPR, including bundles that pair them, are HSA/FSA eligible. At checkout you choose Flex, answer a short telehealth questionnaire for the Letter of Medical Necessity at no extra cost, and pay with your card. Your plan administrator has the final say on coverage.
No. FirmTech rings work without pills or a prescription, and you can buy them online. If you pay with HSA or FSA funds, the IRS asks for a Letter of Medical Necessity, which Flex handles at checkout through a brief questionnaire at no extra cost.
FirmTech offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If a product does not meet your expectations, you can start a return through the FirmTech returns portal with your order number and email. The TechRing has a 1-year warranty, and the Performance Ring and MaxPR each have a 3-month warranty.
Yes. FirmTech ships in a plain, unbranded box, with no product name on the packing slip or card statement. Shipping is free on orders over $100, which covers the TechRing on its own and any bundle. A single Performance Ring or MaxPR at $60 falls below that threshold.
The TechRing is sold online at getfirmtech.com. FirmTech also lists doctors, men’s health clinics and stores that carry its rings on a where-to-buy map. For questions before you order, contact the FirmTech customer service team through the contact page on getfirmtech.com.
The FirmTech app works with iPhone and Android and connects to the TechRing over Bluetooth. The app is free with the TechRing. Setup takes about three minutes: charge the ring, download the app and pair it, then wear the ring during sex or overnight.
FirmTech says your data is stored securely, handled to HIPAA standards, and never sold or shared with advertisers. You choose whether to share it with a doctor and can stop anytime. You can also delete your data and your account from inside the app whenever you want.
Yes, if you choose. The FirmTech app lets you decide who sees your data and stop sharing anytime. FirmTech partner clinics can, with your permission, view firmness, duration and nighttime erections between visits, which gives your doctor a trend instead of a single office reading.
You can log sleep, drinks, workouts and medication in the FirmTech app. The app then shows which of these actually make a difference to your firmness, duration and nighttime erections. For example, you can compare a night after three drinks with a night without, or one medication dose with another.
The TechRing is splashproof. Rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use and wipe it dry. Its sleeve is replaceable: FirmTech sells replacement sleeves from $15 and suggests a fresh sleeve about every 30 nights. The TechRing warranty includes 2 sleeve replacements.
