TechRing

The TechRing is a smart erection ring from FirmTech that does two jobs. Worn during sex, it keeps blood in the penis for firmness and sensitivity the way a standard ring does, with comfortable hook-and-loop fastening and adjustable tension. Worn overnight, it records the number, duration and firmness of your nighttime erections and sends that data to an app on your phone by Bluetooth.

Nighttime erections matter more than most men have been told. Dr. Elliot Justin, the physician who founded FirmTech after 40 years in emergency medicine, sat down with our clinic owner Kristen Parise on The Hole Shebang podcast (Episode 95). His clinical framing: healthy men have three to five erections a night that keep penile tissue oxygenated, and a sustained drop can be an early signal of cardiovascular trouble worth raising with a doctor, often years before other symptoms. He also noted that many men who believe they have ED turn out to have strong nighttime erections, which points to situational causes rather than a physical one. The ring does not diagnose anything. It gives you numbers to bring to that conversation.

We carry the TechRing at our pelvic health clinic because objective data changes the conversation, especially for men in penile rehab after prostate surgery who want to see recovery on a chart instead of guessing. Hear the full interview at podcast.blueberrytherapy.ca.

Common questions

Do nighttime erections predict heart problems?

A sustained drop in nighttime erections can be an early signal of cardiovascular trouble worth raising with a doctor, according to Dr. Elliot Justin, the emergency physician who founded FirmTech. In his clinical framing this signal can appear years before other symptoms. The TechRing tracks these changes, it does not diagnose any condition.

How many nighttime erections are normal?

Healthy men have three to five erections a night, which keep penile tissue oxygenated, per Dr. Justin's framing on our podcast. The TechRing counts yours overnight so you have your own baseline instead of a guess. Changes over time are what to watch and discuss with your doctor.

What does the TechRing measure?

The TechRing records the number, duration and firmness of erections, worn either during sex or overnight, and sends the data to a phone app by Bluetooth. During sex it also works as a constriction ring, keeping blood in the penis for firmness and sensitivity.

Can the TechRing help with recovery after prostate surgery?

It can track recovery, which is the point. After prostate surgery the automatic nighttime erections that keep tissue healthy can stop, and Dr. Justin notes that without rehabilitation this can lead to tissue changes. Tracking gives you and your care team objective numbers for a recovery plan. Ask your surgeon or pelvic health physiotherapist how it fits yours.

I think I have ED. Will the ring tell me anything useful?

It can show whether you have strong erections at night. Dr. Justin observed that many men who believe they have ED still have strong nighttime erections, which points to situational causes rather than a physical one. That is a very different conversation to have with your doctor, and the ring gives you the data to have it.

How long can I wear the TechRing and what size is it?

It is wearable up to 12 hours and comes in one size that fits up to 5.5 inches of erect girth. The hook-and-loop closure adjusts tension to your comfort. The battery is USB rechargeable and lasts 12 hours, and the ring is splashproof.

What lubricants can I use with the TechRing?

Water-based and silicone lubricants are both fine. Oil-based lubricants are not, they damage the medical-grade elastomer. The ring is phthalate-free and latex-free.
