okay thanks for the tips. i have one final question how important is it which
Sleeve i am using? I have to add that i am using a phalosan
forte as a vacuum device. And when i use the
Silisleev5 i can barely fit it onto the chamber and removing the sleev afterwards is almost impossible becuase of it is quite static and not so easy to stretch once it is on your penis. And i imagine that it will be even harder if i use the
Durosleev.
Sleeves type, thickness, rigidity, flexibility, diamter,and length plays critical roles.
SiliSleev#5 is slighly thicker and more rigid, with too small of a diameter that your flaccid state could not be squeezed through. If the
sleeve is too small while you're trying to shove in on with a semi erected penis, that's even harder to do. Good luck with
DuroSleev if you don't have the right diameter.
Let's take the
Forte's vacuum cup into account. When you use the
Forte, or any vacuum cup, you need to be semi-erected, or achieve 50% to 60% in penile size compared to the erected size, just to put on the sleeves properly. This is where the base
sleeve should be something like the
SiliSleev#2. It's flexible, much less rigid, but still have a thickness of around 5mm to 6mm (optimal). The thickness allows the
sleeve to prevent shearing (breaking) under tension between the base of the cup and the connection point onto your foreskin.
The problem is, if you have loose foreskin, the nightmare is the slippage problem. If the vacuum cup cannot create a good suction onto the glans and the diameter of the
sleeve is too large, the
sleeve will slide right off the penis. So, what is the method to use?
First, the
sleeve inner diameter should be about the size of your smallest flaccid diameter, but with flexible formulation and thick enough wall at 5mm to as much as 7mm. I have a penis
sleeve that is as thick as 8mm but still very flexible. I got it from AliExpress and Amazon. You can readily find these.
Second, a traction bulk layer. As we have discussed many times before, using soft and flexible materials like the
TheraBand allows you to bulk up the circumference at the base of the glans. This is where the vacuum cup meets the skin to provide added vacuum support.
Third, squeeze out as much air in the
sleeve and cup as possible by pulling the foreskin back while wrapping the bulk layer, pushing the vacuum cup down onto the bulk wrap, and prevent air from forming inside the
sleeve when you put it over the cup before adding the vacuum pressure. At this point, I like to get a bit erected to push out as much air space between my glans, penile shaft, and have skin contact all points on the wrap and vacuum cup before I create the vacuum pressure. There's no way to do this with the
DuroSleev. You've got to be the Hulk to even try.
Once you have the vacuum set and know you're not going to figet around with the set up any more, you can use a second
sleeve of thinner thickness and put over the first one to double the strength of the shearing stresses. It's practically a flexible version of a
DuroSleev.
