Tension ring safety: warnings, timing, and removal

Before first use

Read the complete instructions, inspect the ring, and make sure you can remove it quickly before applying it.

Use only compatible water-based lubricant and decide how you will track the session time before applying the ring.

Do not use a damaged ring or a ring that cannot be removed promptly.

• Do not use if you have decreased hand strength that could make removal difficult.
• Do not use if you have decreased pain sensation in the area.
• Ask a clinician before use if any warning or existing health condition applies to you.
• Keep the instructions available during first use.

Time limits

Limit each use to no more than 25 minutes. Remove the ring at the limit even if no discomfort is present.

Allow at least 60 minutes between uses. More frequent use may increase the risk of injury.

Never fall asleep while wearing the ring. Prolonged use may cause permanent injury.

• Maximum 25 minutes per use.
• At least 60 minutes between uses.
• Never sleep while wearing the ring.
• Do not use while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Remove immediately

Remove the ring immediately if you notice pain, numbness, unusual swelling, coldness, color change, bruising, or loss of normal sensation.

Misuse or excessive constriction may cause bruising, painful injury, blood-vessel damage, or permanent injury.

If removal is difficult or symptoms continue after removal, seek medical care.

Ask a clinician before use

Ask a clinician before use if you have reduced sensation, decreased hand strength, a bleeding disorder, sickle cell disease, significant curvature, circulation concerns, a history of prolonged erections, urethral narrowing, or take aspirin or other blood-thinning medication.

If erection difficulties are new or unexplained, consult a clinician before using the ring to avoid delaying diagnosis of an underlying condition.

Additional warnings

A tension ring does not prevent pregnancy and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Do not use the ring while impaired by alcohol or drugs because impaired judgment can increase the risk of injury.

Use only compatible lubricant and follow the cleaning and storage directions supplied with the product.

• Do not share a personal-use ring.
• Do not use a damaged ring.
• Stop use if complications occur.
• Seek medical care if complications continue.
