Tightness
Same size range, different hold
Size and tightness are not the same thing. All three FirmTech rings share the 5.5 inch fit range, but FirmTech rates their tightness differently: the TechRing 3 of 5 (secure), the Performance Ring 3 of 5 (comfort), and the MaxPR 5 of 5 (tightest).
The MaxPR is slimmer and snugger for maximum firmness, which is why FirmTech limits it to 90 minutes. The TechRing and Performance Ring are rated for up to 12 hours.
