WHAT IS A PENIS SLEEVE?

A penis sleeve is a sheath that you slide over your penis. It can make your penis thicker or longer, or provide extra stimulation for your partner. Some models are soft and flexible, others firm and structured. There are also hollow sleeves, which you can use without an erection - ideal for men with erectile problems or after surgery.

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL

Consider what you want to use the sleeve for:

  • More length or thickness? Then choose a sturdy model with a closed end.
  • More feeling for your partner? Then ribbed or textured sleeves are ideal.
  • Need less of an erection? Go for a hollow sleeve, possibly with a ball loop for support.

Not sure? Start with a basic sleeve – it will give you a good idea of ​​what you like.

2. WASH & PREPARE

Before use, wash the sleeve with warm water and mild soap or a sex toy cleaner. Dry thoroughly. Wash your hands as well.

Lay out a towel and make sure you won't be disturbed. A relaxed moment helps build tension and comfort.

3. LUBRICANT IS YOUR FRIEND

Apply some lubricant to the inside of the sleeve and to your penis. This will prevent chafing or skin sticking.

➡️ Use water-based lubricant if your sleeve is silicone – otherwise you will damage the material.

4. APPLY SLEEVE

For an open sleeve:

  • Make sure you are (semi)stiff.
  • Slowly slide the sleeve over your penis.
  • Make sure the sleeve fits snugly but does not pinch.
  • Some models have an extra loop to go around your scrotum – this prevents slipping.

For a hollow sleeve:

  • You don't need to have an erection.
  • Gently slide your penis into the sheath.
  • Secure everything with the supplied straps or rings (if available).

Make sure that your skin is not pinched anywhere and that the sleeve stays in place when you move.

5. DURING SEX

  • Start slow: The sleeve is new, so let your partner get used to the feeling.
  • Pay attention to comfort: Ask if it feels good. Some sleeves make penetration more intense.
  • Use enough lubricant: Especially during anal sex or longer sessions.
  • Keep an eye on everything: Is the sleeve still in place? Is it not sliding off?

You sometimes feel less about yourself - that's normal. You give up some of your feeling, but you often get more control and playtime in return.

6. AFTER USE

  • Pull the sleeve off carefully – slowly rather than roughly.
  • Rinse immediately with soap and water or a toy cleaner.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly and store in a clean, dry place – preferably away from other toys.

TIPS FOR FIRST USE

  • Try it alone first so you know how it feels.
  • Combine with other toys – for example a cock ring or vibrator for your partner.
  • Some sleeves dampen your sensation. That's okay, but try different thicknesses until you find what works for you.
  • Do not use a sleeve that is too tight or numb – comfort comes first.
