Performance Ring review

The FirmTech Performance Ring is a $60 erection ring for firmer, longer-lasting erections with a comfortable, adjustable fit and nothing to charge or pair.

Published by FirmTechLast updated November 2026

Is the Performance Ring a good ED ring?

Yes, the FirmTech Performance Ring is a strong choice for men who want firmer, longer erections simply. It costs $60, is rated 3 of 5 for tightness for a comfortable hold, and is safe to wear up to 12 hours. It has no tracking, and its warranty is 3 months rather than the TechRing’s 1 year.

Performance Ring at a glance

What is the FirmTech Performance Ring?

The Performance Ring is FirmTech’s original erection ring. It is made from soft, medical-grade elastomer that is phthalate-free and latex-free, and it uses the same doctor-designed peno-scrotal shape as every FirmTech ring: one loop under the testicles, one around the base of the penis. A hook-and-latch strap adjusts the tension. It is drug-free, needs no prescription and has no electronics, so there is nothing to charge, pair or set up. It works while you wear it and can be paired with RingMate, a three-speed vibrator for a partner, for $120 instead of $129.

Performance Ring questions

More answers on reviews, price, fit and safety in the full ED ring FAQ.

How does an ED ring work?

An ED ring applies even pressure at the base so blood that has filled the penis stays in place longer. FirmTech rings loop around the base of the penis and behind the testicles, a peno-scrotal fit designed with urologists, so pressure is spread evenly. The effect lasts only while the ring is on.

See this answer in the FAQ: How does an ED ring work?

Can I put an ED ring on before I have an erection?

Yes. FirmTech rings are designed to go on while you are soft, so you can put one on discreetly ahead of time. Open the latch, place one loop under the testicles and one around the base of the penis, then adjust the tension.

Is the TechRing better than the Performance Ring?

Only if you want data. Both deliver firmer, longer erections with the same adjustable fit and up to 12 hours of wear. The TechRing adds sensors, an app and nighttime tracking for $275. The Performance Ring costs $60 and needs no charging or pairing.

Performance Ring vs MaxPR: which should I choose?

Choose the Performance Ring for comfort and long wear, up to 12 hours. Choose the MaxPR for the tightest fit and most intense finish, worn up to 90 minutes. Both cost $60, share the same doctor-designed shape and carry a 3-month warranty.

What lube can I use with an ED ring?

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with any FirmTech ring. Do not use natural oils such as coconut oil or CBD oil. FirmTech sells Sliquid Naturals Silver, a silicone lubricant, from $18 as an accessory.

How do I clean an ED ring?

Rinse the ring with warm water and mild soap after each use, then wipe it dry. This applies to all three FirmTech rings. TechRing owners should also replace the sleeve about every 30 nights, with replacement sleeves from $15.
