I’ve been using this Gen2 sleeve for almost six months, and I always wash it with water and soap, then dry it with a towel. However, recently some black dots have appeared on the inside of the sleeve. I tried to scrub them off, but to remove them I really have to stretch the material around the spot. Even if I manage to remove some, it’s impossible to get rid of them completely, and they eventually come back. Could it be mold? I’m not really sure, but if anyone has experienced something similar, any advice would help me avoid this issue in the future with another sleeve.
Yes, that could be mold. Gemini confirmed this as well:
Yes, the black spots on the reusable silicone product, or one made of a similar material, could be mold.
Mold often appears as small black spots or patches, especially on materials exposed to moisture or stored in a humid environment.
Throw it away, get a new / different one. I highly recommend to not use this one anymore.

Yeah this is most definitely mold.
Make sure when you wash your sleeves you dry them as well.
Would also advise maybe testing your home for mold.
You can give it a soak in bleach and then rewash in soap/water, and that’ll kill the mold currently on the sleeve, but it won’t stop it from eventually coming back. Better off buying a new one.

What would be health consequences of continued use? That sleeve is pure torture anyway lol, time to upgrade.
Infections, skin irritation, mold spreading, exposure to mold can be life altering to your health.

what upgrade do you recommend? i’m currently using the gen1 that came with the handy, it was brand new
I don’t really have any recommendations, maybe some can make a suggestion. Personally when I first moved from the keon to handy. I could not get along with that sleeve. Felt really uncomfortable, not matter how much lube I used. I must be sensitive. I resolved the issue by jb welding a kiiroo feel stroker case to the handy. Feels a thousand times more pleasurable.
worth mentioning that you don’t need to limit yourself to handy brand sleeves. you can search up smaller onaholes from various brands that will fit… I used to do this but the one I had was too intense to use all the time
