How we choose and compare rings
Last updated: · Published by FirmTech
FirmTech ranks its rings on six criteria applied the same way to every ring, using only figures FirmTech publishes.
How does this site decide which ring to recommend?
FirmTech, which publishes this site, compares each ring on fit, tightness, wear time, tracking, price and warranty, using its published specifications. Because this site is for men who want support without tracking, the Performance Ring ranks first; the TechRing ranks lower only for that reason.
The six criteria
Fit and design
Shape of the ring, how pressure is spread, and the erect girth it fits.
Tightness
FirmTech’s own 1 to 5 tightness rating for each ring.
Rated wear time
The maximum time FirmTech states each ring can be worn.
Tracking
Whether the ring measures anything, and what.
Price and value
List price and bundle prices on getfirmtech.com.
Warranty and returns
Warranty length and the money-back guarantee.

Performance Ring or MaxPR: which should I choose?
Choose the Performance Ring if you want firmer, longer-lasting erections with a comfortable fit you can wear for up to 12 hours. Choose the MaxPR if you want the tightest hold and the most intense finish and can live with a 90 minute limit. Both cost $60, share the same peno-scrotal design and include a 3-month warranty.

Read this answer in the FAQHow is a FirmTech ring different from a basic silicone ring?
FirmTech rings are designed with urologists and use an anatomical peno-scrotal fit that loops around both the base and the testicles, with adjustable hook-and-latch tension. They are medical-grade, latex-free, HSA/FSA eligible and covered by a warranty. When comparing any ring, look at the material, whether the tension adjusts, and how long it is rated to be worn.
