Ever wondered what it would be like to have a different penis? Maybe a larger one in a different color, a harder one with radical textures, and perhaps even vibrations? Penis sleeves can let you live out all of these fantasies in your sex life. They are like playing dress-up with your dick. And if you have trouble maintaining erections or fighting or cumming too quickly, a penis sleeve could be just what you need.
To help you get started, this guide will teach you how to use a penis sleeve and what to look for while selecting one.
- Penis sleeves are an incredible bedroom toy if you want to add length or girth to your manhood. They are also an affordable, non-invasive, non-medicinal way to fight ED and PE issues.
- When choosing your model please ensure you get the right size by measuring the length and girth of your penis. In addition, think about what issue you’re trying to solve (ED, PE, extra size) since all cock sleeves have different functions.
- If you’re a beginner, we recommend using lots of lube and trying it solo first. Slowly ease one testicle into the ball loop at a time. Please don’t force the testicles inside while doing so. Also, stretch the ring as necessary to shimmy your bits in there.

What Is a Penis Sleeve?
Penis sleeves (AKA cock sleeve or dick sleeve) are worn over your manhood to increase its length and girth. It’s like a suit of armor for your member, giving it extra powers and enhancing sexual pleasure for you and your partner. A quality product can be a solution for problems of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
There are many designs; some may let your head pop out of the end for extra pleasure, while others keep it completely covered. Some additional powers they can give are increased length, girth, textures, and vibrations.
How Do Penis Sleeves Work?
A penis extender is as straightforward to use as possible. All penis sleeves work by sliding your member inside, where he will stay while you have fun. There is usually a strap that will slip under your scrotum to keep the penis sleeve intact. They allow you to penetrate your partner with or without an erection alleviating any stress about staying hard.
The goal is for you to maintain your erection during sexual intercourse to show off your prowess. In contrast, others give your penis a new makeover to allow your partner to feel something entirely different. And don’t worry, they are not only for her sexual pleasure; some are lined with textures to keep you happy on the inside.
What Do Penis Sleeves Feel Like?
Using one for the first time may feel weird and take some getting used to. Suppose you opt for the full-sheath penis sleeve, which covers your entire penis; it will feel similar to using a male masturbator. Most of them have internal textures for the wearer to enjoy. However, they are almost impossible to reach climax while wearing. It is like wearing the thickest condom of your life.
Sleeves with openings let some of the penis be exposed and they are primarily to aid with erectile dysfunction. From experience, it may feel like wearing a very large cock ring as it will help trap blood where it should be.
Who Are They For?
Do you want to feel like a grander, more prolific version of yourself? Or are you a couple looking to spice things up with added length, girth, or textures? Penis extenders may be all you need. It is like giving your penis a makeover without any permanent changes and is perfect for some in-depth, balls-deep role-playing.
If you have trouble achieving or maintaining an erection, a silicone penis sleeve can solve this problem. It is a fabulous option for those who can not take medicine for ED due to other medical conditions. In contrast, others may not require medication but need to alleviate performance anxiety.
If you are trigger-happy and fire your load too quickly, a penis sleeve will keep you from doing so. They allow you to immensely pleasure your partner while desensitizing you, preventing premature ejaculation.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
Choosing the right penis sleeve begins by asking yourself a few questions to determine your primary goal. Whether it’s to add size, fight off premature ejaculation, help with your hard-ons, or get wild with new adventures in the bedroom. Once you have an idea of your needs, it will be easier to choose a product based on those requirements.
Types of Penis Sleeves
The Full Penis Sheaths
Full-sheath penis sleeves, AKA penis extensions, cover your entire penis shaft like a condom. These are the most common ones, as they add length, girth, and texture to your penis. Full-sheath models are great for role-playing and giving your partner something extra.
The best full penis sheath we found for added length is the Lovehoney Mega Mighty. At $34, you will find no cheaper way to add three more inches to your penis. While getting your partner cumming extra hard will make you feel like the man, it’s not going to allow you to cum with it on, so be prepared to give a lot of pleasure before taking the sleeve off to relieve yourself. The Mega Mighty features a loop for your testicles to keep them in place and is made from soft plastic, both latex and phthalate-free.
A great full-sheath product is the Vixen VixSkin Colossus. The Colossus is extra thick with a stretchy textured interior, creating the perfect stimulation level for the overly sensitive man. It has an insertable length of 6 inches and a curved shaft to hit the g-spot. It, too, features a ball loop to keep it in place and is made from body-safe silicone. The VixSkin Colossus is quite an investment, though, at around $150.
The RX Sleeve Manhattan is a full-sheath penis sleeve that does wonders for ED. What is great about the Manhattan is that it has an adjustable rod inside of it that delivers firmness to the tip for times when you might struggle with it. It’s seven inches long with a nice curvature and textured veins. With a waistband strap and testicle holder, this bad boy isn’t going anywhere.
Exposed Head/Glands
Penis sleeves that leave your head/glands exposed serve the primary purpose of battling erectile dysfunction. They firmly grasp your shaft, creating a rigidity for your partner to enjoy and giving you the confidence to deliver the goods while still being stimulated.
The Stealth Shaft Support can do wonders for ED, allowing you to feel your partner and rock-hard simultaneously. They firmly wrap around the shaft of your penis, leaving your head to enjoy the sensation of penetration. What’s excellent about this model is that it doesn’t matter how hard or soft you are; it will always hold you in place as you thrust away.
Full Exposure Sleeve for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
The last prolific design of penis sleeves is the fully exposed style or external penile prosthesis, a terrific option for people who cannot use other aids to deal with ED. The most common configuration features two rings with a support rod between them. One ring sits at the base of your penis and the other below the head.
The Elator is a terrific aid to help with ED. It is not cheap at $289, but it will let you connect with your partner in ways that may not have been possible. The Elator is a popular sleeve for survivors of prostate cancer, diabetes, or other afflictions that prevent them from taking medicines like Viagra.
Vibrating Penis Sleeves
If you want to stimulate your partner to the max, a vibrating model can crank the heat up in the bedroom.
The Fantasy X-tensions Real Feel is sure to deliver your partner screaming orgasm after screaming orgasm. It features a waterproof vibrating bullet vibrator and adds an extra 2 inches and around 33% girth expansion to your manhood. With different ridges and veins for texture at $36, all this is well worth every cent.
Materials
Penis sleeves are commonly made from body-safe silicones, plastic, or rubber. They are 100% safe inside your body and should be phthalate and allergen-free.
Size
When choosing a size, you must measure your genitals to ensure you select a proper fit; do this with a soft tape measure. If you can achieve an erection, measure your penis size while hard; if not, measure your flaccid penis as you would during intercourse.
Start by measuring the length from the tip of your head to the base where you feel your pelvic bone. To measure the width, do so at the girthiest spot on your shaft. After that, it’s up to you and your partner to go as big, girthy, or textured as you fancy.
Design
As discussed previously, the first design choice is whether or not part of your penis is exposed and what you hope to achieve with a penis sleeve. The following design choice is how it fastens onto you. The two choices are fastening it around your testicles or with an adjustable waistband; some may incorporate both options.
Textures
These sex toys can provide all sorts of textures for both members. Everything is available to keep your partner happy, from realistic veins to extra bumpy and ringed to smooth as a baby dolphin. Consider it a holiday for your bits.
There are different textures for the wearer of the penis sleeve too. Some have internal textures similar to a pocket pussy to satisfy you during the act. Others have minimal texture and sensation to keep men from coming too fast.
Do your research and shop around. You will be impressed by all the options.
Comfort
While a penis sleeve may not always be comfortable, it should not be much more uncomfortable than wearing a heavy condom. It should never cause pain while using; if it does, remove it immediately. If your sleeve has a loop for your testicles, you may notice that it’s a bit tender where the loop was the next day; it is normal to experience this.
Budget
Price is everyone’s least favorite aspect of shopping, but don’t worry, there’s something for every budget. Lovehoney’s Bumpy Ride Textured Penis Sleeve with Ball Loop has terrific value for its price at $9.99. On the opposite end of the spectrum, penis sleeves can go well into the hundreds depending on your options.
Read Reviews
While you may enjoy putting your penis into mysterious holes, this is not one of those times. Do your research and read reviews of different products to find what’s best for you and your partner. Do not forget to measure yourself and check the measurements of the sleeve you’re interested in.

How To Use A Penis Sleeve In 10 Easy Steps
These instructions are based on a full-sheath penis sleeve, and other models are almost identical.
- Wash It – Always wash every sex toy before using it for the first time. That means cleaning both the inside and outside.
- Trim Back Your Bush – Trimming your pubes is not merely to complete your penile makeover but will prevent the sleeve from pulling on any hairs and causing discomfort while in use.
- Heat It – Run your penis sleeve under warm water or let it soak in a bowl. The warmth will give it a more realistic sensation. Test it on your forearm before putting it on to make sure it’s not too hot.
- Lube It – Lube, lube, lube. Lube both the inside and the outside and be generous with the lube. It will make it much easier to slide your penis into and more accessible for your partner to accommodate your new size.
- How to put on a penis sleeve – If your model has a closed design, squeeze to remove the air to ensure they fit your penis securely. I also recommend putting it on in an erected state, if possible. This process can take a bit of time, so please take it slow and be patient.
- Balls – Slowly ease one testicle into the ball loop at a time. I shouldn’t need to tell you not to force these things. Stretch the ring as necessary to shimmy your bits in there.
- Try Solo – Put it on and have a little dress rehearsal alone. Ensure you know how to get it on and what sensations to expect. Indeed being experienced will impress your partner.
- Condoms – penis sleeves are not a birth control measure, so if condoms are your jam, put the condom on as you usually would first, then slide it into your already lubed penis sleeve.
- Gentle Beginnings – Always start slowly and communicate with your partner as you ease into them. You may not know how deep you are inside them or how the girth affects them. Communicate, get comfortable, then go nuts!
- Be aware of how long you wear it and any uncomfortable sensations. You probably don’t want to wear one for longer than 30 minutes at a time. If you feel pain, don’t be a hero and push through. Pause, assess the situation, and remove the sleeve if the pain is real. Your stunt cock is there to keep you safe, not the opposite.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Washing penis sleeves is as easy as washing the dishes. Use a sex toy wash or anti-bacterial hand soap and water. Clean both the outside and the inside of it. If the inside has added textures for pleasure, be a little more thorough so you remove all fluids. You can either let your sleeve air dry or use a microfiber towel. Once thoroughly dry, it is best to store it in a fabric pouch to keep dust off it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do Penis Sleeves Work For Premature Ejaculation (PE)?
Penis sleeves are a fantastic way to deal with premature ejaculation. These handy toys provide a barrier between you and your partner, helping to lessen the sensations felt with intercourse. Now you have more time to enjoy the ride and less worrying about finishing too soon.
Do Penis Sleeves Work For Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Penis Sleeves may help people with erectile dysfunction as they are designed to aid in erectile dysfunction and trap blood in your penis, similar to a cock ring. Others can stabilize your penis to allow for penetration without an erection.
What other ED and PE treatments are available?
If you can get an erection but can not keep one, cock rings could be all you need to stay hard. Cock rings will also hold you back from completion, giving you that extra stamina to ensure your partner is thoroughly satisfied. A good one, to begin with, is the Fifty Shades of Grey Perfect O Cock Ring.
Penis pumps provide a good alternative for those that struggle to get hard. A penis pump will draw blood into the penis, creating an erection. Penis pumps can be combined with a cock ring for added effectiveness by keeping the blood in place. One good pump I have used with great success is Bathmate Hydromax7 (review here.)
As with any medical issue, always contact your GP for advice first.
Do penis sleeves extend the length and girth?
Penis sleeves will create the sensation of being larger while wearing one for you and your partner. Unfortunately, it will not make a permanent change to your penis.
Are there any risks with penis sleeves?
Using a penis sleeve is relatively risk-free, but you should not wear one for prolonged periods. The most significant danger to be aware of is being too rough with it on, as you can’t fully feel what is happening. You may go too deep inside your partner or hurt yourself while thrusting hard. Always ease into them and learn the limits. And always communicate with your partner.
Do they hurt?
A penis sleeve should never hurt. If it does hurt, remove it immediately. If you try it again and it continues to hurt, this is probably a sign of it being the wrong size. And if you try multiple sleeves and continue to experience pain, please consult a doctor, as it could signify something more severe.
How tight should penis sleeves be?
A penis sleeve should fit comfortably around your penis. You never want it to be so tight that it hurts, but you do not want it to be loose. It should feel similar to a condom like it’s an extension of your penis.
How to make a homemade penis sleeve?
We don’t recommend making a DIY penis sleeve due to the injury risk. Please read this article for more information on how to make a homemade penis sleeve.
