THIS IS A SPONSORED REVIEW
HI 
Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving some goods from a good person at TheHandy team, and naturally, I’d like to write a review for some of the things I received! This post will only cover a handful of the products I received, and I’ll cover the rest in another post!
Whilst I received these goods for free, TheHandy has not influenced my ratings or opinions. I’ll be reviewing these as honestly as possible, and as if I had spent the price associated with these products myself.
I tested these all both with TheHandy Stroker, and simple Hand usage, with 2 different types of lube to make sure I got all the data needed.
I’m going to review these sleeves similarly to my previous reviews, except this time I want to add a tier list at the end based on my personal opinion.
Each sleeve will be rated in 2 different categories, from 1 to 3 stars [
—], based on Practicality
and Feel
.
If you read my previous review, “Lube” was another category, but I’m just merging that into Practicality this time around.
1 STAR DOES NOT MEAN “TERRIBLE”
(unless I specifically say so)
For me, the ratings mean roughly:
- Not for me / has notable drawbacks - Good, but has some drawbacks - Excellent / very few meaningful drawbacksThese ratings are based on my own experience and preferences, not an objective measurement of quality.
I’m also going to try to keep these reviews short and sweet so I don’t overload you with too much information!
Now…
The Mod Series
(Core Sleeve, Tight Sleeve, and Long Sleeve)
“The Mod Core Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - Medium SensationTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $39 USD
Feel
- To put it bluntly, this sleeve is a little overwhelming. If you look at the box art, you’ll see tons of these small pointed stimulation points. …But it’s just too much in my opinion. And not in the “I can’t hold it in any longer” kind of “too much,” but rather a overstimulation issue. If the stimulation points on this sleeve were a lot less firm, it’d probably pass as a solid sleeve for me.
- With that said, I can see some people being a fan of this if they like a lot of firm sensations poking against them. Personally, though, it’s just not my thing.
Practicality
- With the design choice of the blue, almost “net”-like area on the inside, lube can actually get trapped in those gaps without properly lubricating the sleeve. So getting this sleeve ready for use requires a lot of lube in my experience.
- This also makes cleaning a little harder, which is notable because most Handy sleeves have been a pleasure to clean due to how easy they are.
- This isn’t a massive deal; it just takes a little more effort. I’d still take this over cleaning a traditional Onahole any day.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone who enjoys very firm, pronounced stimulation and doesn’t mind putting in a little extra effort with lubrication and cleaning.
“The Mod Tight Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - Intense SensationTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $39 USD
Feel
- It’s hard to tell from the image above, but the sleeve is actually pretty small, and I think it would fit snugly on guys on the below-average-size side. I think that actually adds to the pleasure because, even though the design is the same as The Mod Core Sleeve, the smaller size makes the points of stimulation less firm.
- Like I said, it’s smaller, which adds a significant hugging feeling. That’s admittedly a new and very nice sensation.
- That said, it still suffers a little from the “pokey” sensations I personally don’t like. I’d still use this one regularly if my favorite sleeves weren’t available, though.
Practicality
- This sleeve is comparatively easier to clean and dry than The Mod Core Sleeve, mainly because of its smaller size. But there’s a reason I haven’t given it a 3-star rating.
- If you have a slightly softer erection for whatever reason, it’s very difficult to keep yourself from slipping out of the sleeve during use because of the tightness and smaller size.
- If you’re above average in size, you’re probably not going to be able to use this to its full potential. Unfortunately, I can’t test this myself, but it’s possible that you might not be able to fit inside the sleeve without stretching it to a point where you could potentially damage it.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone looking for a tighter version of the Mod design, especially if you’re on the smaller side and enjoy a snug fit.
HOWEVER, the next sleeve is the opposite.
“The Mod Long Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - Low SensationTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $39 USD
Feel
- I want to start by saying that this sleeve seems to be primarily intended for bigger guys, and unfortunately, I don’t have the tools to properly test that.
- For an average-sized guy, this has a loose fit, which I think is an alternative intention and a pretty unique concept compared to what most “sleeve engineers” might produce.
- Because of that loose fit, you’re definitely getting more of the sensation from the tips of the spikes inside the sleeve, which, like the previous Mod sleeves, are quite stiff.
Practicality
- Because of the overall bigger size of this sleeve, it comes with more weight, which does actually slow down the Handy 1 a tiny bit. With a Handy 2, which I can only assume it’s designed for, I’m sure that’s not a problem. It is harder to strap into the holder regardless, though.
- Also, due to the net mesh pattern on the inside, lube doesn’t spread as well and may require more than you might usually use with your other sleeves.
- This toy is also kind of a pain to clean. The number of nooks and crannies created by the net mesh makes it difficult to both wash and dry. Unless you have the sleeve dryer from TheHandy, which is actually VERY convenient.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- “Bigger” users who want a longer, looser version of The Core Sleeve.
“The Chrysm Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - Medium SensationTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $37 USDOTHER INFORMATION - Mimics Anal Penetration
Feel
- Sorry, but in this review, this is easily the best-feeling sleeve by far, and it’s definitely becoming one of my favorites of all time.
- This sleeve is supposed to mimic anal penetration, and honestly, I can’t vouch for whether it does or not. But I think what that entails is a strong, tight sensation, almost like a ring around the entrance to the sleeve, which is a nice and very welcome feeling.
- The sleeve also incorporates a very small hole toward the end that lets air pass in and out. This creates an almost sucking feeling as you pull out and adds some resistance as you push in. I don’t know how to make that sound more appealing, but trust me, it’s a fantastic feeling, especially with the little chamber at the end of the sleeve.
Practicality
- The only reason I won’t give this sleeve 3 stars is because the hole toward the end of the sleeve, while great for airflow, also allows lube to pass through. To be honest, this is terrible because it can end up all over your Handy device, strap, and/or hands.
- I don’t know how you would solve this issue, and I think it’s simply the tradeoff that comes with the concept. Some people may not be willing to make that trade for the sensation, but personally, I’m okay with it.
- Other than that, this sleeve is almost a pleasure to clean, like most other Handy sleeves. It has no lube issues other than the leaking.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Pretty much anyone who wants a strong, unique sensation and doesn’t mind dealing with some potential lube leakage. This is easily my personal recommendation if Feel is your biggest priority.
“The Pod Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - StaminaTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $25 USD
Feel
- So, I want to praise this sleeve, and the person who came up with it, because they acknowledged that there are people who DON’T want overwhelming pleasure.
- Typically, the more pleasurable a sleeve is, the shorter you might last during a session. This sleeve aims to provide an alternative for people who want to enjoy their time for longer.
- I personally have the same issue, and this allows me to last longer and enjoy my content for as long as I’d like.
- The only reason I don’t want to give this 3 stars is because it takes the concept a tiny bit too far. I had trouble getting any kind of real pleasure from the toy and couldn’t get myself to the edge without forcing it.
- I think if I had a sleeve with the same concept but just slightly more stimulation, I’d enjoy it a lot more.
Practicality
- Since this sleeve has no edges whatsoever, it doesn’t hold lube very well at all. Almost all of the lube you put in the sleeve WILL fall out, and the sleeve dries out faster than most sleeves.
- As I always mention, this may depend on the viscosity of your lube, but I tested with two different water-based lubes, one high-viscosity and one low-viscosity, and had similar results.
- But as a clean freak, I appreciate how stupidly easy this sleeve is to clean and maintain.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone who specifically wants to reduce stimulation and extend their sessions. If you’re someone who gets overwhelmed/overstimulated easily, this or The Flow Sleeve are the ones I’d definitely recommend.
“The Flow Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - StaminaTYPE - Open-Ended SleevePRICE - $25 USD
Feel
- To be honest, there isn’t much to say about this sleeve that I didn’t already say about the Pod Sleeve, because it’s the same general concept and design, just open-ended. So just imagine I copy and pasted what I said for the Pod here.
- Speaking of the open-ended design, I can’t really tell a massive difference, but I think I personally lean a little more toward the Pod Sleeve. I think this is really just going to come down to personal preference.
Practicality
- Again, it’s kind of the same issue as the Pod, where lube doesn’t stay within the sleeve and dries out quickly. Except this time, the lube can sometimes overflow from the top since it’s open-ended. I personally haven’t had much of an issue with this, though, and only experienced it on very rare occasions.
- I think this is an issue with most open-ended sleeves, but when you’re finally pushed over the edge during a session, you may accidentally cover everything around the sleeve unless you’re covering the open end with something.
- SUPER EASY TO CLEAN x100
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone who likes the Pod’s lower-stimulation concept but prefers an open-ended design. Between this and the Pod, I’d personally choose the Pod.
“The GEN 2 SILK Sleeve”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - Medium SensationTYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $59 USD
Feel
- This sleeve feels just okay. There’s nothing wrong with it, and it gets the job done, but it must be something about the fact that it’s made out of silicone that makes the points of sensation feel really smooth. They don’t provide as much of a feeling of rubbing against something.
- However, I believe that’s the exact point of this sleeve, and I 100% believe this comes down to personal preference. People who prefer that feeling of premium smoothness will probably enjoy this infinitely more than I do.
- I will say that the construction of this sleeve feels extremely well-made. Unlike traditional foreign-market “Onaholes,” I don’t think this one would have issues with tearing after rough usage. The material is very thick and heavy, and I feel like I can put some abuse onto this sleeve without having to worry about it.
Practicality
- This is a very standard sleeve design with no bells and whistles, which makes it very easy to clean and dry, like most TheHandy sleeves.
- The sleeve holds lube fairly well, and there are no holes for leakage thanks to the closed-ended design.
- It does get a fairly sticky feeling after cleaning, but I believe this is just what silicone feels like without some sort of special powder being applied to keep it smooth. The sleeve is still clean, just slightly sticky to the touch, with no residue left behind.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone who values build quality, easy maintenance, and a smooth silicone feel more than direct stimulation.
“The RING KIT - LONG Kit”
STATS FROM STORE PAGESTIMULATION LEVEL - VARIABLETYPE - Close-Ended SleevePRICE - $25 USD
Feel
- I’m actually a very big fan of this one. However, this is the LONG VERSION, and even though I don’t have the length to fully use it, I still really enjoy it. I WILL be buying a standard-size one for myself.
- This is a very cool modular sleeve, which is extremely unique to me. You can change out the rings that come with the sleeve for different sizes and strength ratings. There are 3 points along the sleeve where you can place these rings and completely change how it feels.
- The different sizes (not strengths) are intended to be placed in order, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top. However, if you have the ability to, you can put the smallest and strongest ring at the base of the sleeve to create a tight entrance.
- If you put it at the top, though, it plays very nicely into a feeling of very deep penetration that is also incredible. The selling point of this sleeve is the ability to change your experience between every use, and I absolutely love that concept.
Practicality
- Like the other designs, this also follows a simple design philosophy and is as easy to clean as washing your own hands. No complaints in terms of washing or drying this toy.
- Lube is also not an issue with this sleeve, even with the extra level of tightness provided by the rings.
- The rings themselves are extremely easy to attach or remove, even during use, and absolutely no dirt or grime should be getting on them. There’s almost no reason to clean them beyond normal maintenance.
Who I’d Recommend It To
- Someone who wants the most customization and variety out of a single sleeve. If you like changing your experience from session to session, this is easily the best out of these choices and probably more.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
& TIER LIST
THIS IS A PERSONAL, NON-OBJECTIVE OPINION
Just to clarify before I continue, just because something is in a lower tier doesn’t mean I think it’s terrible.
The tier list is not dictated by the star ratings. It’s my overall ranking after considering Feel, Practicality, versatility, drawbacks, and how likely I am to personally use each sleeve again.
QUICK RANKING
S TIER - Ring Kit, Chrysm
A TIER - GEN 2 SILK, Pod, Flow
B TIER - Mod Tight, Mod Core
C TIER - Mod Long
All of these sleeves feel great, and I wouldn’t sleep on any of them. If you think you’d prefer one over another, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with any of these choices.
S TIER
The Ring Sleeve
- The Ring Sleeve is amazing, and being able to change the experience whenever you want is a godsend of a design choice.
- Because the Ring Sleeve has no major flaws PLUS gives you so many options for customization, it puts it above the Chrysm Sleeve for me.
- If versatility is important to you, this is probably the easiest recommendation I can make from this entire review.
The Chrysm Sleeve
- The Chrysm Sleeve definitely belongs in the Hall of Fame for its simple level of pleasure.
- The hole used for air intake/outtake provides a level of sensation that the other sleeves haven’t provided before.
- The only downside is the potential for lube to leak through, but personally, I think the tradeoff is worth it.
A TIER
The GEN 2 SILK Sleeve
- While it has a different texture than I’m used to, it’s simply a premium build of a classic TheHandy sleeve that I’ve used a crazy amount.
- There’s nothing wrong with upgrading a classic, and this feels like exactly that.
- If you value practicality and build quality more than unique sensations, this is probably one of the safest choices here.
The Pod Sleeve
- The Pod Sleeve is a very unique sleeve that I’ve learned to enjoy quite a bit.
- It allows its users to extend their sessions simply by reducing the amount of stimulation.
- I think that’s a genuinely great concept, even if I personally wish it provided just a little more stimulation.
The Flow Sleeve
- The Flow Sleeve follows the same principle as the Pod Sleeve, just with an open-ended design.
- For me, it’s tied with the Pod in overall ranking, and I think choosing between the two mostly comes down to personal preference.
- Personally, I’d still give the Pod the slight edge.
B TIER
The Mod Tight Sleeve
- The Mod Tight Sleeve is a great sleeve, and is essentially just a tighter version of The Mod Sleeve (duh, it’s in the name)
- Personally, I enjoy this one quite a bit more than the normal Mod Sleeve.
- If you like a tighter, more hugging sensation, I’d pick this over the Core without hesitation.
The Mod Core Sleeve
- The Mod Core Sleeve is a very standard sleeve that the other Mod sleeves are based around.
- Personally, I just don’t like it as much as the others, but I know there are people who will enjoy the different sensations it provides.
- My biggest issue is simply that the stimulation is too firm for my personal preference.
C TIER
The Mod Long Sleeve
- I can only give this one a C tier because, to me, a long sleeve is simply way too big, and I don’t get much out of it.
- However, if you’re a bigger guy, I think this could be exactly what you need.
- My rating here is probably the one I would take the least seriously.
MY PERSONAL TOP 3
RING KIT - Best overall / most versatile
CHRYSM - Best sensation
GEN 2 SILK - Best practicality / premium classicAnd that’s it for now!
