foam sleeve question

Postby 40buickcoupe » Mon Jan 16, 2017 2:38 pm

Hi I'm a new member just ordered a Encore deluxe pump for ED since I just had my prostate removed. Reading on here people recommend this foam ring it helps pulling stuff in and when I snap the ring on helps a little in the pain department.

I went to order a foam sleeve for my Encore pump and from the web site the sizes are 2.5' to 3.5' 3.5' to 4.5' and 4.5' to 5.5'

My question is I measured soft and its right at 4.5' not real loose but firm, can anyone that is around that measurement tell me if they ordered the #2 or #3 being one ends at 4.5" and the other starts at 4.5". There $20 bucks so I would like to get it right.

Also with that size what would be a good tension ring to use

I'm not sure what would be best a snug fit soft or a just fit soft, once I use my pump I'm guessing they will expand when erect and then I will use the tension ring

Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Dennis

40b,

If they are the same design I have, I use a #2 mostly and that is a tight fit which actually keeps girth a bit trimmer than if I used no sleeve or the #3 size. My wife complained that the #3 made me TOO thick.

Also a larger sleeve does not make the shaft as hard as one that is the next size smaller. With that #2 you could bang nails in with that hard baby...

As to sizes of Encore tension rings: Depending on what my mood is, I may use a #5, #4, or #3. The #5 is for when I am just having a casual stroke. When I am really serious, I use two rings: I put a #3 on top of the #4. The two ring combination gives me the stiffest result. But is the most difficult to remove, but what the heck, you do what you have to.

And a question for you 40buick: from what site did you buy the foam sleeve?

40b,

Was just rereading this and you had asked about what Encore rings to get.

The answer is DON'T get any more Encore rings -- they are junk -- maybe you have found that out by now as they break.

Just get Osbon rings. You will probably need at least two -- most guys do. And shop around for the best price and with luck free shipping over some amount (like $50). They are not cheap anymore so you do have to choose wisely or you will be laying out more bucks than your Encore pump. But they last forever.

A pink "B" and a tan "A" is a good start. Could even get a Grey stretchy -- but they seem to be the same tension as the pink "B" ..
