Comparison
The MaxPR is FirmTech's tightest ring for maximum hardness, worn up to 90 minutes; the Performance Ring is the comfortable original, worn up to 12 hours. Both cost $60.
The FirmTech Ring Guide treats these as two answers to one trade-off: pressure versus wear time. The MaxPR is slimmer and snugger, rated 5 of 5 for tightness and sensation. The Performance Ring is rated 3 of 5 and suits longer evenings. Neither tracks anything.

Get the MaxPR if you want the firmest hold and a more intense finish; get the Performance Ring if you want comfort for longer. The MaxPR uses the same doctor-designed peno-scrotal shape, made slimmer and tighter for extra pressure, which is why FirmTech limits it to 90 minutes at a time.
New to rings? The Performance Ring is the gentler place to start. Already using one and want more? The MaxPR is the step up.

Neither $60 ring has sensors. The TechRing ($275) is the only FirmTech ring that measures firmness, duration and nighttime erections. FirmTech sells a TechRing + MaxPR bundle for $295 instead of $335. Return to the best tension rings for ED ranking to see all three together.
This comparison was written by FirmTech, the business that publishes this site and makes all three rings. Every ring is judged on the same criteria: firmness support, safe wear time, fit and tightness, tracking, warranty and price. Every figure comes from FirmTech's published product pages as of November 2026.
Read the full methodologyBoth cost $60 and use the same doctor-designed shape. The MaxPR is slimmer and snugger, rated 5 of 5 for tightness on FirmTech’s product page, versus 3 of 5 for the Performance Ring. The trade-off is wear time: up to 90 minutes for the MaxPR versus up to 12 hours for the Performance Ring.
The MaxPR. FirmTech rates it 5 of 5 for tightness and 5 of 5 for pleasure, describing it as slimmer and snugger than the original for fuller erections and a more intense finish. Because of the extra pressure, FirmTech lists its safe wear time as up to 90 minutes at a time.
Snug but not tight. FirmTech’s adjustable hook-and-loop strap lets you set the tension so pressure is firm but never painful. If you feel pain, numbness or coldness, loosen or remove the ring. The MaxPR is designed to be tighter by default, which is why its safe wear time is shorter.
No. Neither has sensors, a battery or an app connection. FirmTech positions them as erection support without tracking. Only the TechRing has built-in sensors that measure firmness, duration and nighttime erections, and it is the only FirmTech ring that needs charging, so the $60 rings are ready to use straight from the box.
Commonly reported effects of constriction rings include temporary numbness, coldness, bruising or discomfort, usually from wearing a ring too tight or too long. Follow the wear time for your ring: up to 12 hours for the TechRing and Performance Ring, up to 90 minutes for the MaxPR. Remove it if you feel pain and talk to a doctor.
Some men do. FirmTech sells a TechRing plus Performance Ring bundle and a TechRing plus MaxPR bundle, each listed at $295 instead of $335. The idea is to track with the TechRing and keep a simple ring for times when you just want the feel, without charging or pairing anything.
All three FirmTech rings ship free and discreetly on orders over $100, are HSA/FSA eligible, and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
