Hadn’t noticed the new sleeves for the handy had open-ended designs and what not, tried the original a few times when I got the handy, and ended up replacing it pretty quickly with a fleshlight (with a solid shell mount, not the strap), doesn’t help that the experience with the strap and so on is honestly not great in comparison to using a fleshlight hard mounted into it.
Also screw you guys, and your sharing of information, just spent far too much ordering several suggestions here.
With all that being said, I will point out that what feels good and what not, depends on a few factors:
Obviously on the person taste, but not just on the toy itself, but also the kind of videos one likes to watch, a sleeve good for some dick ripping videos is not necessarily going to be good for GFE slow experiences.
The lube used which makes a huge difference, I used to really like astroglide liquid which I can no longer get at any reasonable prices, currently use tracy dog water lube which has a really nice consistency (similar to astroglide, but maybe slightly thicker) and is reasonably long-lasting, although wish it came in smaller flasks, since the consistency changes after a month or so of being “open”, also quite like gun oil h2o which is also pretty nice.
Have tried several sliquid, pjur, durex, aquaglide and maybe a few other brands, and honestly the biggest thing regarding lubes at least for me is the consistency of it, there are ofc also differences in how long a lube lasts, but those tend to be more secondary for me, especially since it depends a bit on the sleeve, stoya destroya sleeve seems to almost absorb lube, since it dries quicker than say kimmy granger rebel.
The stroker being used also makes a significant difference, like my favorite fleshlight sleeve is kimmy granger mischief (her anal fleshlight), yet due to the handy having a greater stroke length than the fleshlight launch, I can say that the sleeve experience now isn’t as good, because on the longer strokes my tip gets closer to the entrance, which has a bit more of a rougher feel, something that isn’t as pleasing, especially at the start if it is a bit more fast-paced (it is fine if it is slower lengthier strokes).
On the other hand, Eva Lovia spice (her anal fleshlight) sees a lot more use with the handy while I barely ever used it with the launch.
This was something that I stupidly was not expecting, and honestly wouldn’t have thrown 10+ fleshlights away that I never used if I knew this, even if I suspect I still wouldn’t be using most of those.
