How do I put the TechRing on?

Putting it on

On in seconds, while soft

  1. Hold the loop open and drop the testicles through it.
  2. Set both loops: one sits under the testicles, the other around the base of the penis.
  3. Fine-tune the hook-and-loop strap so it is snug but not tight.

The TechRing is designed to go on before an erection, so you can put it on discreetly ahead of time. It keeps blood in without blocking ejaculation. Check your fit with the ED ring size chart.

Overnight

Syncing your night

Wear the TechRing to bed and it tracks on its own; you do not need to do anything while you sleep. When you wake up, hold the button for 3 seconds, put it on the charger and connect to your ring in the app to sync the night. FirmTech says the ring is safe and comfortable for up to 12 hours. One verified reviewer on getfirmtech.com found it best to build up to overnight wear over time.

Care, lube and cleaning

Lubricants

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants only. FirmTech says not to use natural oils such as coconut or CBD with any of its rings.

Cleaning

The TechRing is splashproof. Rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use and wipe it dry.

Sleeves

Replacement sleeves for the TechRing start at $15. FirmTech suggests replacing a sleeve about every 30 nights. The warranty includes 2 sleeve replacements.

Common questions

How do I set up the TechRing?

Charge it with the included USB cable for 2 to 4 hours, download the FirmTech app, turn on Bluetooth and follow the prompts to pair, then wear it during sex or overnight. FirmTech says setup takes about three minutes, and your data syncs to the app automatically.

How long does the TechRing battery last?

A full charge lasts about 12 hours, enough for a full night of tracking. Charging takes 2 to 4 hours with the included USB charger. Because syncing an overnight recording already involves placing the ring on its charger, charging each morning is an easy habit.

How do I clean a FirmTech ring?

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

My TechRing will not sync. What should I do?

First make sure the ring is charged, Bluetooth is on and the FirmTech app is open. After an overnight recording, hold the button for 3 seconds, put the ring on its charger and connect in the app. If it still will not sync, FirmTech’s help center covers setup and troubleshooting, or you can contact FirmTech support.

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

Yes. FirmTech’s rings are designed to go on when you are soft, so you can put one on discreetly ahead of time. Loop it behind the testicles and around the base of the penis, fasten it snug but not tight, then fine-tune the tension until it is comfortable.

Which lubricants are safe with FirmTech rings?

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants only. FirmTech warns against natural oil lubricants such as coconut or CBD oil with any of its rings. The rings are made from medical-grade elastomer that is phthalate-free and latex-free.
