Hey!
I want to add my own experience here.
First of all, I don't have the sleeve. I've been looking around and I might get one some day. Especially when the cushion (comfort pad) on my
Bathmate will wear down.
Anyway, I've been to Japan and I guess you guys might know onaholes or these nice masturbators they sell over there? So, I've got a bunch of those kind of toys. I also have a
FleshLight, but that's another story!
So, these "loveholes" do wear down, some are not meant for long time usage. Some you can't even wash properly. (Yeah, one time only usage, kind of a waste!)
Where am I going? Well, I actually modified one of the holes so that it fits nicely on my penis when I use the
Bathmate. The sleeve is cut so that it is "on" the
gaiter rings. So, when I put this sleeve on and use my
Bathmate, I don't get the achy rings!
I just finished a session and noticed also a line on my penis, it's from the
gaiter ring. (I didn't use the sleeve this time, I've been doing some tests!) When I use the sleeve, which is silicone by the way, the marks are kind of funny, but really fade away fast! And no pain!
So, that's my small story, I hope it made some sense. I am most likely going to buy one of these sleeves, but as said, some found it difficult to insert and then difficult to come out! Definately needs some lube work I think ... And maybe some scissors, to make the sleeve a bit more open. Going over 180 nowadays, 190 seems quite close ... I'm almost scared how effective
Bathmate is!
Always have fun!
