The most common question is what the RingMate vibrator is: a $69, three-speed vibrator from FirmTech that slides onto any FirmTech ring.
Below are 47plain answers about RingMate, FirmTech's three erection rings, prices, sizing, replacement sleeves, lubricants, shipping and safety. Every answer uses FirmTech's published product facts.
RingMate is a three-speed vibrator from FirmTech that slides onto any FirmTech ring. FirmTech describes it as a vibrator for her, so the ring supports his erection while RingMate adds vibration for his partner. It sells for $69 on its own, or for less as part of a ring bundle.
FirmTech says RingMate slides onto any FirmTech ring, meaning the TechRing, the Performance Ring and the MaxPR. FirmTech does not state that it fits other brands, so if you own a different ring, contact FirmTech before buying to confirm whether it will work for you.
RingMate has three speeds, according to FirmTech’s accessories listing. That gives a couple a simple low, middle and high range without menus or an app. For battery life, charging and noise details, check the RingMate page on the FirmTech shop or ask FirmTech support.
FirmTech calls RingMate a vibrator for her that slides onto your ring. In practice it is a couples accessory: he wears the FirmTech ring for erection support and RingMate rides on that ring to add vibration for his partner during sex.
Yes. FirmTech describes the RingMate bundles as great solo or with a partner. It attaches to whichever FirmTech ring you own, so you can use the same setup on your own or together. Follow the wear time limit of the ring underneath it.
FirmTech’s accessories listing does not state a water rating for RingMate. The rings themselves are rated: the TechRing is splashproof, and the Performance Ring and MaxPR are water resistant. Check the RingMate product page or contact FirmTech before using it in water.
RingMate costs $69 on its own at the FirmTech shop. Paired with a ring it costs less: $120 with a Performance Ring or MaxPR (instead of $129), or $304 with the TechRing (instead of $344). Shipping is free on orders over $100.
FirmTech rings cost $60 or $275. The Performance Ring and MaxPR are $60 each and give erection support without tracking. The TechRing is $275 and adds sensors that measure firmness, quality and duration, including nighttime erections, with insights in the app.
The Performance Ring and RingMate bundle is $120, which saves $9 against buying both separately at $129. The MaxPR and RingMate bundle is the same price. Because $120 is over $100, the order also qualifies for free shipping.
The TechRing and RingMate bundle is $304, compared with $344 when bought separately, a $40 saving. You get the tracking ring plus the three-speed vibrator that slides onto it. The TechRing in the bundle carries its 1-year warranty.
Yes, on orders over $100. FirmTech lists free discreet shipping over $100 across its shop, and its RingMate product page states the same threshold. A $69 RingMate alone is under the threshold, while any ring and RingMate bundle is over it.
Not for RingMate on its own. FirmTech says the TechRing, Performance Ring and MaxPR are HSA/FSA eligible, including bundles that pair them, but accessories, protection plans and shipping are not. Your plan administrator has the final say on what it covers.
Among FirmTech’s rings, the best choice depends on your goal. Pick the TechRing ($275) if you want erection support plus data on firmness, duration and nighttime erections. Pick the Performance Ring ($60) for simple, comfortable support up to 12 hours. Pick the MaxPR ($60) for the tightest fit, worn up to 90 minutes.
Any of the three works, because RingMate slides onto every FirmTech ring. Choose the ring for your own needs first: tracking (TechRing), easy all-night comfort (Performance Ring) or maximum tightness (MaxPR). Then add RingMate as a bundle to save $9 or $40.
Erection rings work mechanically while worn. FirmTech explains that gentle, even pressure at the base slows blood from flowing back out, so erections are firmer and last longer, with no pills and no waiting. The effect lasts only while the ring is on, and it does not treat the cause of ED.
A penile tension ring, also called an erection ring or constriction ring, sits at the base of the penis to help hold blood in place. FirmTech’s rings use an anatomical peno-scrotal fit, looping around the base and behind the testicles so pressure is spread evenly.
Both cost $60 and use the same doctor-designed shape. The MaxPR is slimmer and snugger, rated 5 of 5 for tightness, and can be worn up to 90 minutes. The Performance Ring is rated 3 of 5 for comfort and can be worn up to 12 hours.
Yes. The TechRing has built-in sensors that measure firmness, quality and duration during sex, and the count, strength and length of nighttime erections when worn to bed. The data syncs by Bluetooth to the FirmTech app on iPhone or Android.
Yes. FirmTech says its rings are designed with urologists and use an anatomical peno-scrotal fit. The company was founded by Elliot Justin, MD, an emergency physician, and its medical advisory board includes urologists from Memorial Sloan Kettering, Prime Institute and University of Utah Health.
FirmTech’s reviews page shows a rating of 4.6 out of 5 across 101 reviews, as of November 2026, with 78 five-star reviews. FirmTech also reports more than 40,000 rings sold. These are FirmTech’s own published figures, not an independent survey.
FirmTech does not use a multi-size chart because its rings come in one adjustable size. FirmTech says one size fits 95% of men, up to 5.5 inches (14 cm) of erect girth, and the hook-and-latch design lets you set the tension yourself.
If your erect girth at the base is 5.5 inches (14 cm) or less, FirmTech says the ring fits. That covers about 95% of men according to FirmTech. If it does not fit, the 30-day money-back guarantee lets you return it.
When erect, wrap a soft tape measure or a piece of string around the base of the penis and read the length. If it is 5.5 inches (14 cm) or less, FirmTech says its rings fit. Measure at the base, where the ring sits.
Unhook the latch and open the loops, place one loop around the base of the penis and the other behind the testicles, then adjust the tension so it is snug but not tight. FirmTech says it takes a few seconds. RingMate then slides onto the ring.
Yes. FirmTech says the TechRing is designed to go on when you are soft, so you can put it on discreetly ahead of time. The Performance Ring and MaxPR use the same hook-and-latch design, so you can fit them the same way.
The replacement sleeve is a fresh sleeve for the TechRing, sold by FirmTech from $15. FirmTech suggests replacing it about every 30 nights. The sleeve is specific to the TechRing; the Performance Ring and MaxPR do not use one.
FirmTech suggests about every 30 nights. If you wear the TechRing once a week, as FirmTech’s science page suggests for a clear picture of your health, one sleeve lasts much longer in calendar time than if you wear it every night.
Replacement sleeves start at $15 on the FirmTech shop, with options to choose on the product page. Sleeves are accessories, so FirmTech says they are not HSA/FSA eligible. Adding sleeves to a larger order can help reach the $100 free shipping threshold.
Yes. FirmTech’s comparison lists the TechRing warranty as 1 year on electronics plus 2 sleeve replacements. For a claim, email FirmTech support with your order number and a short description, and FirmTech says it replies within 1 to 2 business days.
Rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use, then wipe it dry. FirmTech says the TechRing is splashproof and the Performance Ring and MaxPR are water resistant. All three are made from medical-grade elastomer.
Use only water-based or silicone-based lubricants with FirmTech rings. FirmTech says not to use natural oil lubricants such as coconut oil or CBD oil with any of its rings. Sliquid Naturals Silver, which FirmTech sells, is a silicone lubricant.
Sliquid Naturals Silver is a premium silicone lubricant that FirmTech sells from $18 and describes as lasting for hours. Because it is silicone-based, it is in the group FirmTech says is safe with its rings.
It is a cooling, tingling gel for her that FirmTech sells for $25, while supplies last. It sits alongside RingMate as an accessory aimed at the partner’s experience. Check the product page for ingredients before use.
FirmTech sells four accessories: RingMate, a $69 three-speed vibrator that slides onto any FirmTech ring; TechRing replacement sleeves from $15; Sliquid Naturals Silver lubricant from $18; and a $25 Mentholated L’Arginine Gel, while supplies last.
No. FirmTech says not to use natural oils such as coconut or CBD oil with any FirmTech ring. Stick to water-based or silicone-based lubricants, such as the Sliquid Naturals Silver silicone lubricant FirmTech sells.
You can buy FirmTech rings and accessories online from the FirmTech shop, which ships nationwide and free on orders over $100. FirmTech also lists doctors, men’s health clinics and retail stores that carry its rings on its where to buy map.
Yes. FirmTech says rings ship in a plain, unbranded box, with no product name on the packing slip or card statement. Shipping is free on orders over $100.
FirmTech offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If a product does not meet your expectations for any reason, you can start a return through FirmTech’s online returns portal with your order number and email, or contact customer service for help.
RingMate comes with a 3-month warranty from the date of purchase, the same as the Performance Ring and MaxPR. The TechRing has a 1-year warranty. For a warranty claim, contact FirmTech with your order number and a short description of the issue.
Use the FirmTech contact page, which routes orders, product questions, privacy, partnerships and press to the right team by email. FirmTech says order and warranty emails get a reply within 1 to 2 business days.
Erection rings work by restricting blood flow, so wearing one too tight or too long can cause discomfort, numbness or bruising. Follow the stated wear time (12 hours for TechRing and Performance Ring, 90 minutes for MaxPR) and remove it if you feel pain. Ask a doctor first if you have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners.
FirmTech says no: its rings keep blood in without blocking release. The peno-scrotal design loops around the base and behind the testicles, spreading pressure evenly rather than pinching one point.
FirmTech says the TechRing is designed and studied for overnight wear and is safe and comfortable for up to 12 hours. It tracks nighttime erections on its own while you sleep. The MaxPR is not for overnight use, since its limit is 90 minutes.
No. FirmTech lists the MaxPR safe wear time as up to 90 minutes because it is the tightest ring. For overnight wear, FirmTech points to the TechRing or Performance Ring, which are rated for up to 12 hours.
It is a good idea, especially if you have a bleeding disorder, take blood thinners or have ongoing erection problems. ED can be linked to heart and blood vessel health, and FirmTech’s own research notes that ED becomes more common with age. A doctor can confirm a ring suits you.
FirmTech says many men use the TechRing alongside other treatments and use the app to see what is working. FirmTech also advises talking to your doctor about your specific situation before combining treatments.
Yes. FirmTech says all three rings are made from medical-grade elastomer that is phthalate-free and latex-free. They are soft, with nothing hard or rigid, and use a hook-and-latch closure with adjustable tension.
