You’ll receive an email with your postal tracking number once your sleeve has been completed and is on the way to you.
Fit & Sizing
-
Yes, but it depends on your needs. A core that is longer than your penis length can leave empty space inside the sleeve, which may cause bending or discomfort. In these cases, our [Silver Bullet] cavity cushion can be inserted to fill the gap and support the fit.
Alternatively, the extra sleeve wall length created by a longer core can taper against the pubic area. Some users find this helpful, particularly for ED or phalloplasty, as it can provide a ‘springy’ erection-like firmness and supportive feel. You may wish to trim some pubic hair.
-
Please refer to our Sizing Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to measure and choose the best fit. It also explains key terminology and includes helpful tips to ensure accuracy.
-
Depending on your needs, you can size up or down. Our Sizing Guide explains the differences and can help you choose.
If your shape is more unique, we can further customise our sleeve designs and even 3D print you a fully custom inner core. Please get in touch if you feel this would be helpful.
-
That’s normal. Choose inner core dimensions that best represent how your erect or extended penis is most of the time.
Our Sizing Guide includes more detailed guidance on significant size variation.
Customisation
-
No, we do not offer casting services.
-
Yes. We offer a range of colour options, including multiple choices for the shaft and glans portions of your sleeve.
Custom colour matching is also available for an additional cost. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss a specific colour.
-
While it is possible to trim our static sleeve designs, we don’t recommend it. A flush, finished base is important for comfort, durability, and optimal fit. Our gliding skin designs cannot be trimmed.
If your sleeve doesn’t fit quite right, please send us a message and we’ll send you a discount code!
-
In most cases, we can adjust the external length of your sleeve to suit your requirements. Changing the external circumference is more limited due to mould constraints.
Please get in touch with your requirements and we’ll advise what’s possible.
Feel & Sensation
-
We put a great deal of effort into making our prosthetic designs look and feel as realistic as possible. That said, we always recommend open communication with your partner about introducing a sleeve into your lovemaking.
We’ve received plenty of positive feedback from partners, including comments that sleeves can feel very natural indeed, but experiences vary. Comfort, trust, and communication play a significant role.
-
Our designs use multiple layers and densities of silicone to create depth and responsive sensation similar to natural anatomy. We work with silicone formulations that are as close to skin as commercially available materials allow.
That said, silicone is not skin. We focus on engineering sleeves that behave and respond in a lifelike way, and we continue to refine materials and methods as new options become available.
For the best experience, we recommend using a good-quality water-based lubricant.
-
Absolutely! Many people describe wearing a sleeve as similar to a thicker condom, so some reduction in external sensitivity is normal. However, the internal structure of the sleeve is designed to be pleasurable, and orgasm is still possible. The fit, firmness, and gentle suction can also contribute to sensation.
For those who experience premature ejaculation (PE), we can design sleeves to intentionally reduce sensitivity. Please get in touch if this is something you’d like to discuss.

About Penis Sleeves
-
A penis sleeve is a flexible sexual wellness technology worn over the penis. It has a hollow interior that can be shaped to match your anatomy, creating a secure and comfortable fit.
-
Our sleeves use gentle suction and pressure to stay in place, without the need for straps, harnesses, or testicle loops.
-
Penis sleeves can be used in a range of situations, including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, post-surgical use (such as phalloplasty or penile cancer), Peyronie’s disease, micropenis, and confidence-related concerns. They can also be used for roleplay or personal preference.
Sleeves can be tailored to suit different needs. Please see our Support section for more detailed information.
-
Yes. Our sleeves are made from medical-grade platinum silicone, which is third-party tested and certified as skin-safe by an independent laboratory.
Proper use and care are important. Please see our Hygiene, Tips & Tricks page for guidance on cleaning, storage, and safe use.
Using a Penis Sleeve
-
Many people use penis sleeves as a practical aid for erectile dysfunction, as they can provide external rigidity suitable for penetration. Some designs apply gentle compression, which may feel supportive for some users. Proper sizing and fit are important, and it can take a little experimentation to find what works best for your unique needs and measurements.
If you have a medical condition or concerns, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional before using a penis sleeve.
-
Some people use penis sleeves after surgery, such as phalloplasty or penectomy, as a practical aid for sexual intimacy. Experiences vary depending on the procedure and individual healing.
We recommend consulting with your doctor or healthcare professional before using a penis sleeve after surgery, as the body needs time to heal and may remain sensitive for some time.
-
Yes. Sleeves can be used over toys such as dildos or vibrators, provided the fit is suitable. We recommend avoiding contact with other silicone-based devices, as silicone materials can interact with one another.
Any experimentation should be done with care and at your own discretion.
-
Yes. If you’re new to penis sleeves, we usually recommend starting with a single-density design, such as our [uno] concept. This allows you to gain hands-on experience before moving on to more advanced or specialist sleeves.
Starting simply can help you understand how a sleeve behaves, as well as which inner core dimensions and silicone firmness work best for you, making future choices more informed.
-
Yes. A condom can be used with a sleeve, but placement matters. Worn over the sleeve, your partner will mainly feel the condom rather than the sleeve’s surface. Worn under the sleeve, it may offer some barrier protection, but it can also affect grip and increase the chance of the sleeve shifting.
Penis sleeves are not tested or recommended as a form of contraception.
Firmness & Structure
-
We offer three silicone firmness options: extra soft, standard, and extra support.
The extra support option is not entirely stiff or plastic-like. It holds its shape while remaining flexible enough to be worn and enjoyed comfortably.
The extra soft option can feel very flexible depending on your inner core size, sometimes behaving more like a second skin with minimal structural support.
-
The sleeve walls provide structural support that helps emulate the firmness of an erection. Inner core diameter plays an important role: a narrower core creates a tighter fit, increasing internal compression and rigidity.
The aim is to find the right balance between adequate support and a secure fit, without the sleeve being so tight that it becomes uncomfortable.
-
Many people prefer a softer head for partner comfort, with a slightly firmer shaft for support.
Our standard shaft firmness suits most people, but alternative options are available depending on your needs and preferences.
Please see our Sizing Guide for advice on choosing firmness in relation to your required inner core diameter.
Care & Maintenance
-
We recommend using a high-quality water-based personal lubricant with our sleeves.
Silicone-based or hybrid lubricants can interact with silicone materials, so it’s best to avoid them.
-
Silicone is a durable material, but like anything, sleeves don’t last forever. Lifespan depends on how a sleeve is used, cleaned, and stored. With proper care, sleeves can remain usable for years.
Please see our Tips, Tricks & Hygiene page for guidance on caring for your sleeve and helping extend its longevity.
-
Wash your sleeve with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap after each use. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and allow it to air dry completely before storage.
If your sleeve has been stored for an extended period, we recommend washing it again before use.
-
Once fully cleaned and dried, you can wrap your sleeve in a soft microfibre towel and keep it in a drawer. Alternatively, store it in the black pouch provided, which is also suitable for travel.
Keep your sleeve in a cool, dry place and separate from other sleeves or sex toys.
Issues & Support
-
We cannot. Because sleeves are custom-made and intimate-use items, we can’t accept returns for health and safety reasons.
-
Our sleeves are covered by a 21-day manufacturing guarantee from the date of delivery. If you believe your sleeve has a defect, please contact us as soon as possible and we’ll review the issue and work with you toward a resolution.
-
With proper sizing and care, sleeves are designed to last, but accidents can happen. Trim fingernails, avoid jewellery, and practise fitting and removal before your in the heat of the moment. If damage occurs, please contact us for advice.
