Is the FirmTech Performance Ring good for ED?

The FirmTech Performance Ring is a simple, drug-free option for erectile dysfunction: gentle pressure at the base helps hold blood in so erections stay firmer while it is worn. It costs $60, adjusts to your size and is rated for up to 12 hours. It does not treat the cause of ED.

What do Performance Ring buyers say?

“Simple, comfortable, and it just works. Wish I’d tried it years ago.”

Dave, 47 · Verified buyer, quoted on FirmTech’s Performance Ring page

On FirmTech’s reviews page, one TechRing owner who has all three rings wrote that he uses them “almost every day,” and another said the “non-tech rings” are “easy to use and effective.”

FirmTech’s overall reviews page shows 4.6 out of 5 across 101 written reviews as of November 2026. That figure covers FirmTech reviews broadly and is not a Performance Ring-only score, so we do not present it as one.

Performance Ring facts

What is the Performance Ring?

The Performance Ring is FirmTech’s original, award-winning erection ring. It loops around the base of the penis and behind the testicles, so pressure is spread evenly, and fastens with an easy hook-and-latch strap you tighten to your comfort.

It is made from medical-grade elastomer that is phthalate free and latex free, and it is water resistant. There is nothing to charge, pair or set up. FirmTech rates it 3 of 5 for tightness (Comfort) and 3 of 5 for pleasure (Enhanced).

How to wear the Performance Ring

  1. Open. Unhook the latch and open the loops.
  2. Place. Loop it around the base of the penis and behind the testicles.
  3. Adjust. Set the tension so it feels snug, never painful.
  4. Clean. Rinse with warm water and mild soap after use.

Use water or silicone-based lubricant only, never coconut or CBD oil.

Who should choose a different ring?

Choose the TechRing instead if you want data on firmness, duration and nighttime erections to track your health or share with a doctor. Choose the MaxPR if the Performance Ring feels too gentle and you want FirmTech’s tightest hold, accepting its 90-minute wear limit.

How we chose

This page was written by FirmTech, which publishes this site and makes every ring it ranks. We judge each ring on the same criteria: what it does (support only or support plus tracking), price, tightness, safe wear time, warranty and what verified buyers say on FirmTech’s reviews page. FirmTech’s own pick is listed first. Nothing here is an independent test or audit.

Performance Ring questions

See all FAQs

  • Is the Performance Ring or the MaxPR better?

    Neither is better for everyone. The Performance Ring is rated 3 of 5 for tightness and can be worn up to 12 hours, so it suits comfort and longer sessions. The MaxPR is rated 5 of 5 for tightness and pleasure but is limited to 90 minutes, so it suits men who want maximum intensity.

  • How do ED rings work?

    An ED ring sits at the base of the penis and applies gentle, even pressure that slows blood from leaving once an erection forms. FirmTech rings use a peno-scrotal design that loops around the base and behind the testicles to spread that pressure evenly. The ring helps maintain an erection; it does not create one without arousal.

  • Can I put the ring on before I have an erection?

    Yes. FirmTech rings are designed to go on when you are soft, so you can put one on discreetly ahead of time. Once arousal starts, the ring helps hold blood in place. It takes a few seconds to fasten with the hook-and-latch strap, and you can adjust the tension once it is on.

  • How long can I safely wear an ED ring?

    It depends on the ring. FirmTech rates the TechRing and Performance Ring for up to 12 hours and the MaxPR for up to 90 minutes. General guidance differs: Healthline advises not wearing a cock ring for more than 20 minutes at a time. Follow the limit for your specific ring and your doctor’s advice.

  • How do I clean an ED ring?

    Rinse the ring with warm water and mild soap after each use, then wipe or air dry it. The TechRing is splashproof, and the Performance Ring and MaxPR are water resistant. FirmTech suggests replacing TechRing sleeves about every 30 nights; replacement sleeves start at $15.

  • Can I use an ED ring with Viagra or other ED medication?

    Many men use FirmTech rings alongside other treatments, and FirmTech presented a study at ISSM 2024 comparing PDE5 inhibitors, the Performance Ring and both together. Combining treatments is a medical decision, so talk to your doctor about your specific situation before you do it.
