FirmTech rings use a peno-scrotal design: one loop sits behind the testicles and one around the base of the penis, so pressure is spread across both. One size adjusts to fit about 95% of men up to 5.5 inches of erect girth.
Giddy describes Eddie as sliding over the shaft to the base of the penis, open side facing down, with a blue or red band setting constriction. Giddy sells Eddie in four fits and recommends B as its most commonly ordered fit.
Giddy’s product page says Eddie has 6,000+ five-star reviews. FirmTech’s reviews page shows 4.6 out of 5 across 101 written reviews as of November 2026. Each figure is the company’s own count, measured in a different way, so they are not a like-for-like score.

Why FirmTech fits some readers better: it costs less to start at $60, it needs no size guessing up to 5.5 inches erect girth, and the TechRing adds nighttime erection data you can share with your doctor. Back to the FirmTech ED ring reviews guide.
FirmTech wrote this comparison and makes the rings on one side of it. We compared both products on the same criteria: price, sizing, how the device sits, tension control, tracking, guarantee and the regulatory note each maker states. We used only facts published on each company’s own product pages, and we did not test Eddie ourselves.
Eddie by Giddy is a different design from a FirmTech ring. Giddy describes Eddie as an FDA Class II medical device that sits at the base of the penis, with blue and red tension bands to set constriction. Whether it works for you depends on fit and the cause of your ED; Giddy’s own site has its details.
More on this in the FAQEddie lists at $188 on Giddy’s store in four fits, A to D, chosen by measurement.

More on this in the FAQOne FirmTech ring size fits about 95% of men, up to 5.5 inches (14 cm) of erect girth at the base. The strap adjusts to your exact size, so there is no size to pick at checkout. To check, wrap a soft tape or string around the base when erect and compare it with 5.5 inches.
