Lube and comfort
Last updated: November 2026
Use only water-based or silicone-based lube with FirmTech rings, and never natural oils like coconut or CBD.
FirmTech gives the same lubricant rule for the TechRing, Performance Ring and MaxPR, and it applies when RingMate is attached too. FirmTech sells two comfort products: Sliquid Naturals Silver, a silicone lubricant from $18, and a Mentholated L'Arginine Gel for her at $25.
With a FirmTech ring, use water-based or silicone-based lube. FirmTech lists both as safe on every ring page and in its comparison table, and warns against natural oil lubricants such as coconut and CBD with any of its rings. If you are unsure about a product, check its label for oils, or ask FirmTech before using it.
| Lube type | With FirmTech rings | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Water-based lubricant | Safe | Listed as safe on every FirmTech ring page. |
| Silicone-based lubricant | Safe | Listed as safe. Sliquid Naturals Silver is in this group. |
| Coconut oil | Do not use | FirmTech names natural oils like coconut as unsafe for its rings. |
| CBD oil | Do not use | FirmTech names CBD oil as unsafe for its rings. |
| Other natural oils | Do not use | FirmTech says no natural oil lubricants with any ring. |
