Penis feels suffocated by pump sleeve

Postby westerntown » Tue Jul 12, 2022 11:19 pm

Hello,

My penis is feeling suffocated by the rubber sleeve that came with my pump. is it suppose to be like this? it literally looks as if my penis is being choked. Is there a way to purchase a bigger sleeve?

Here is the pump https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BNZ636?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Really would appreciate any advice yall are willing to share. Currently very frustrated at how hard being a rookie is at this stuff

Have you tried it without the sleeve? I never used a sleeve (or lube) and had no problem. So, I suggest you try different variations and see what might work.

p.s. I did grim my pubic hairs very short to avoid entanglements.

I trimmed my pubic hairs as well.

Yes, i tried it without the sleeve but it wasnt able to get that suction needed to create a vacuum. I am shit out of ideas

Use lube. It may help to actually shave the contact area.

I don't like sleeves either. I do use lube. Sometimes it may be a bit difficult to get a seal but I always do eventually.

For a while, I used the LeLuv Realistic Donuts (for pumps) and they were very comfortable. However, they tear within a couple of weeks of use, and I thought they were too expensive at that rate. I also felt that other sleeves were uncomfortable ("suffocating"), and I now use a LeLuv 2.5" cylinder without any sleeve. Works well for me and is part of my daily routine. LeLuv does offer many options, and they have been a good source. It takes a lot of patience and experimentation to find YOUR combination. Good luck!

Yes, you can get optional sleeves with different size holes. Just click on the Amazon link you provided and scroll down to the “frequently bought together” section. Two options are right there. You probably will like the comfort sleeve better.

I don’t normally use a sleeve but when I do it’s the SabreSkin sold by Stealth Innerwear.

1. Trim the inner sleeve opening till it's not so tight on you.
2. Shave around your pubic area where the sleeve makes contact.
3. Lube your dick, the inside of the sleeve, and around the outer edge where it contacts your public area.

It should seal then, plus be more comfortable for you..
