Handy sleeve alternatives

Wow good call for me for not ordering the Purple one. I ordered the other two. Thanks for the detailed response! Also I saw ur other post on how to strap these sleeves but could not understand. Sorry I am just kinda stupid. About the velcro hook thing, is there like a picture u can show us perhaps? Thanks

Sorry, I can’t at the moment. However, I think I actually have a slightly simpler solution that I use now. I take a strip of sticky backed velcro (hook side not the pile side) about twice as long as the sleeve and fold it over on itself. Now it’s as long as the sleeve and has the hook on both sides. I stick/hook the velcro onto the inside of the strap where it will make contact with the sleeve. I also have pile velcro stuck directly on to the inside of the slide of the Handy. I make a second identical velcro strip (again only hook side), and stick/hook this onto the pile velcro on the slide. Now when the sleeve is strapped in, it’s making contact on opposite sides with the grippy velcro strips. Sometimes if I feel the velcro still needs a little extra help holding on to the sleeve, I’ll slide some of those fabric covered hair rubber bands on it and it latches on pretty good. Honestly, I recommend just getting a roll of sticky backed velcro and fabric covered hair rubber bands and just experimenting with different ways of gripping whatever sleeves you own.

do you use an elastic band for the strap as well?

No I just use the stock strap.

throwing this in here: The Handy Dream Sleeve Collection – Lips | Handy

This is the lips and tongue sleeve from the Handy. I switched to it after wearing out the base one that came with it and honestly its a must. It naturally gets tight suction through it being closed on top and the actual tongue part is pretty good. I’ve put it through the paces and its also very durable.

Something else to consider

What is your opinion on the Boomer?

Boomer is great, might actually be my favourite of the ones modelled after men.

Note, i would say the lips, lotus and gen2 are all equaly good but at diffirent ways.

Lotus being very tight and providing more suction
Lips being the middle ground by being half a lotus and half a gen2.
Gen2 having a lot of texture, but due to barely having suction also providing less motor resistance

Lotus to me is the least of the 3 due to it being too tight at its entry. The lips resolve that as its entry is more gen2 based. The lips however do require you to be hard so a 2nd round is difficult with that one. But the gen2 is used more often as it provides the least issues.

Im fairly new to the vr scene and just got the Handy. The standard sleeve is…just okay. So I would to get another sleeve.
Since I mostly like blowjob scenes. Which sleeve gives a better BJ experience? The lips or the FL pilot commander? Or is it beter to invest in a good onahole like the magic eyes?

Also… are the feelme strokers for the Leon also compatible with the Handy?

I would say the pilot is a bit too heavy for the mechanics, making that a less optimal experience. Its not going to hold at faster paces (note this is relevant as often there is a fast jerk going on in these videos). This is an advantage of smaller sleeves. And if you want to go FL, go for a quickshot. There are ways to make open ended act more like closed end (use an oversized condom tied around the gripping point of the case - depending on placement the condom cant get into the mechanics as you can also use a rubber band to place it stuck and force a certain direction).

On that, i would say that open ended sleeves are better at imitating blowjobs as they give a far better positional feeling of the sleeve, which helps at imitating that similar feeling of a blowjob. Where touching/sucking at its base now truly gives you the sense its there. A closed end sleeve even if it is all the way in still gives stimulation at the tip which in this case is usualy undesired, open ended doesnt do this.

Even for deepthroats this still matters, and if truly needed, use 2 quickshots with its connector. Or a completely diffirent sleeve type/brand. Deepthroats while looking intense, often arent as the women cant put in any speed here, so its often just a grabbing effect. And while it does stimulate your tip mostly then, its something the handy and most sleeves cant mimic. Its too specific. The 2 QS’s with its connector is closest to this as it allows you to change texture to something you feel most suitable.

Keep in mind, its not true realism you want! Its pleasure! Its realism is purely in your mind. So find a good sleeve and it will make it even more intense than IRL would be, and this in turn will help at making it feel equaly intense to IRL. Thats the real trick for a BJ setup.

(and note, for a closed sleeve, lips is nice, but definitely not BJ)

Thanks :pray:.
I’ve already got an QS Riley, so I will give that a try. The double idea sounds nice. Gonna pick up a turbo or Mia to couple it with.

Note though, since the casings are smooth, and 2 quickshots is still a bit of weight, you want to be sure that these cant slide out.

A single quickshot can be removed from the case and the way the sleeves are made work very good with the strap of the handy, and is very similar in weight. The double quickshot system might work similar to the FL pilot on that (main diffirence is still the middle section which might stimulate less and give a more distinct double contact point)

But in the end, you can only know when you experiment, and doing that is in the end worth it for the most optimal experience

Aye. That’s a good point. Already upgraded the band of the handy for more grip.

Gonna look for a way to better secure the case. Maybe adding some velcro to it will help.

I think I ended up throwing away the Lotus because it was so tight it was painful. If you go for 3 hour sessions that thing is terrible for it. The Lips is good, stays warm, suction is just right, and you have a tongue sensation. I do wish it had more bumps on the inside though.

3h is on that a very long time, that can always throw things off in what works well. It might have been that for for example 30min sessions it would have been excelent.

It often doesnt help that the lotus has an easy air trap and tries to push you out. That alone demands the user to keep a certain focus, and requires relubing more often.

I did make a minor cut in the top of the sleeve to allow trapped air to escape which made the sleeve better on that. And as a bonus effect it now has better suction which also helps preventing your dick from being pushed out (and indirectly probably even helps at keeping it hard). And yes, this means that it could potentialy leak fluids out (so far it hasnt realy done that, but thats prob just luck with the cutting there)

But its tightness makes it a quite inconvenient sleeve to use, and of the 3 its for that reason the most likely one to be disliked. But that doesnt realy mean its bad, its just a diffirent taste.

And while the lips has something to mimic a tongue, it realy doesnt feel like a tongue at all. Its just some amplified texture at 1 of its sides, and thats it. I would just call it a frenulum teaser instead. The real feature is still its narrow section being at a more convenient place (and that narrow section is at the same strength as the lotus from my experience).

The one i use most is the gen2 though, its just the most generic sleeve, and because it has no focal point makes it a bit less intense than the lips. Lotus if it wasnt as tight as it is now could have easily taken that place. Now i only use it if i just want variation (for which it does fine).

Guess I’m on topic since I’ve tried the double quickshot system with the Handy for the first time today. To be specific a quickshot Vantage and a Riley. I mostly tested 2d and VR blowjob scenes - so slow to mid speed. The Handy had no trouble handling the weight at that speed range and the quickshot combo made for a pretty unique experience. Even though I’m average sized the Riley (pussy side) kept sucking in air which was a very welcome bonus.
As someone who’s used to a single sleeve setup, the two quickshots + cases + connector make for quite the juggernaut and I occassionally felt the need to hold the upper end while it’s moving, just to be safe. I also had to wrap a paper towel around it to prevent it from slipping out of the grip band.
So I’d say for a first time a little bit too much trouble than it was worth but it’ll probably get better with some practice.
Overall it was really great when it worked and really annoying when it didn’t (especially once you’ve gone flacid).

It does have a lot of potential though. I think it could be amazing with a quickshot that has a really stimulating entrance since it would constantly tease the glans.

To people using the Tenga spinner, how are you getting it to work? For me anytime it tries to do more than a half stroke the inner coil provides too much resistance. Basically makes everything stop halfway down at most…

the original soft open ended one (left) was the best.

they have discontinued it :slightly_frowning_face:. if anyone knows where i can still buy those open ended ones i would love a pointer or something close to it.

i do plan to try the new open ended ones (coral and pearl) when i get cash to buy them

I have been using Handy with Fleshlights and it works great. If you’ve already got one, all you need is an adapter, which is pretty easy to get 3D printed.

Seems a little heavy on the thing, but I’ve never had issues. Removing the cap helps.
