“Just because you can doesnt always mean you should”
A very famous quote.
While the handy can handle those sleeves, there are significant downsides to it:
- It slows down
- Higher heat/wear
As company you want to give a good warranty. This can be disrupted if the heaviest sleeves they sell would ‘damage’ the device. With the current sleeves the device can quite easily manage 2y of good use. With heavier sleeves it might break down earlier. And this either means warranty must be reduced (negative marketig), or the device must be made stronger (which costs money).
And that while its technicaly not needed for them, other companies can always design sleeves that are compatible. The only reason you dont see fleshlight doing that is because they already have a competing device. And for fleshlights its usualy the material that matters (and i suspect its patented - yes, while they can write that, that doesnt always mean it has been tested on court).
So there is a good reason that you might never see such sleeve from the makers themselve.
Im still waiting on a sleeve that acts like its open ended in texture, but still is close ended (the end can be wider without texture, yet still provide a slight suction). This way you still get a somewhat diffirent experience to open ended, but with the benefit of not making a mess.
Someone has to highlight the risks so I get where you are coming from. However I didn’t spend 180 euro on the Handy and 80 euro on a fleshlight to not combine the 2.
My handy survived 3 years of heavy sleeve usage without problems. The product is doing fine and already out of warranty. It will probably outlive me.
May I ask how you attach/fix a FL to the Handy?

Will test them this WE, but I confirm : very plane surface inside

I use it without the case, just attach it like any sleeve using the Handy pro strap which is larger. To reduce wobblyness and weight, I cut off some of it. Long enough for my dick plus some extra room for cum and lube.
If you want to use it with the case there is also a 3d printable fleshlight adapter: Handy adapters by Abdulishandy - Thingiverse

3D printing an adapter is the cool way to do it but I made my own with a few cheap items off Amazon. I’ve posted some photos of my home made FL sleeve holder in this topic:

Thank you both. I think I’ll go with the improvised adapter as I don’t have access to a 3D printer.

My last order had “The handy company” on the outside of the package. Do they still label them like this? Also how’s the rigidity of the material?
Not at all Handy on the package. Just Odhaki as the expeditor . Very neutral package.
Rigidity, don’t know how to define it, it is same quality as the default handy sleeve at first touch.

Thanks for the reply. I bought it direct from theHandy.com website a few years ago. I have to assume they made their packaging more discrete.
While checking out the new sleeves I saw this amazing deal of 6 sleeves and the proband for 121 euro:
Bought my handy and some sleeves some months ago and iirc, they came in discrete packaging.
Speaking of their sleeves my ranking (in which feels the best) goes:
- Lips
- Touch (not a fan of open ones due to risk of leak)
- Chysm
- Default Handy sleeve
- Lotus (iirc, if i didnt keep my erection it was easy to slip out!)
Dont own the rest but these are the ones from them officially that I got. Not a fan of using onaholes as even the lighter ones are still quite a bit heavier and I notice the slowdown.

Got the Pod stamina sleeve today, just tried it out.
It is very thin and really has no texture at all. Which is good news for me, I have been chasing smooth edging sleeves going from original sleeve inside-out, to Fleshlight Quickshots to full-sized Fleshlights without the case. Recently my go-to has been a shortened (cut) Tornado Fleshlight which is probably the smoothest regular fleshlight.
I think the pod feels great. Compared to the fleshlights, the upside with official sleeves is you can really feel the movement better - fleshlights have so much meat to them so movements are smoothened. I really enjoyed going back to feeling every change in movement right away.
It is a different sensation to feel nothing but the tightness from the strap. To me it feels more like having sex than any sleeve. Vaginas or asses don’t have little nubs inside. And it feels great to cum in it, I don’t like when there is too much sensation while cumming.
I had to strap it in pretty tight to not slip in the pro strap and still had some air coming in which was uncomfortable. Will probably make a little hole in the top to avoid air bubbles.
A great super gentle edging sleeve I will probably use as a go-to for a while to really test it.

Have you tried the True Grip 2 inside out? If so, hows that compare? Also have you tried the Pod inside out?
1 Like
Yes. True grip 2 inside out still had a lot of texture so very different. Will probably not try the pod inside out, I like the lack of texture and inside out makes the lube run away since there is no edge to keep it inside the sleeve.

Are you able to let the device continue stroking while cumming and is it soft enough to completely continue without stopping after orgasm

The Pod was slipping out a lot if not strapped in really tight which was uncomfortable.
So I cut a piece of an old original handy sleeve, long enough to act as a buffer for the edge of the Pod:
Works pretty well, not perfect but stays put a lot better. I think it’s strange that these sleeves seem designed to move around in the strap.

I would like to try that sleeve, however I can’t justify the cost to the UK. After shipping and VAT it comes to 63.40 euros and that is after applying the 30% Valentines discount.
I was hoping that now The Handy is an established product and has been available for some time, they would have found a cheaper courier for their lower priced items.

I got the Pod a few days ago and have had around four sessions with it so far. I actually really like it. It does exactly what it’s meant to do—a stamina sleeve designed to help you last longer. Since there are no textures inside, it’s super smooth, which really helps with endurance. With other sleeves, the nubs made things pretty rough, especially when using PMV scripts with long strokes and high speeds, but the Pod’s smoothness makes that whole experience a lot more enjoyable. The fit itself is fine, though; it expands enough to accommodate my 6-inch length. One nice thing is that everything stays contained in the tip, which acts like a condom head. There’s also some mild stimulation as you enter that “chamber” at the top, which feels pretty nice.
As for the Pod’s downsides, it does slip around a bit in the strap. That said, for slower scripts, like slow BJ scripts, I think I’d prefer a True Grip 2 turned inside out since it provides better stimulation and feels better during slow and long strokes.
Overall, I’d rate it a 7.5/10. I’d love to see it be a bit longer and made with a better material, like the True Grip 2. I would recommend people to try it.
