What is a Penis Sleeve?
The penis sleeve is a sheath that fits over an erection to increase sexual pleasure during intercourse. Some cock sleeves feel like realistic skin, others are large or padded to add huge girth, and some are thin and textured silicone to add extra sensation during sex.
Penis sleeves are also used to prevent premature ejaculation. The padded sleeve removes some of the sensations of intercourse delaying the male orgasm effectively making sex last longer.
This sheath slides over the dick like a condom and stretches to accommodate all sizes. They are “one size fits all” and originally designed to fit every man, but in our experience, some are naturally big & thick and better suited for guys with a large dick, others are short & thin and better suited for men with a small penis.
Some dick sleeves even vibrate! The erotic stimulation from a vibrating cock sleeve is shared by both partners during sex. A vibrating penis sleeve can provide either internal vaginal vibration or external vibration on his testicles.
In this case, a tiny vibrator can be placed on the ball strap for vibration on the female perineum, clitoris and also the wearer's scrotum. It's a subtle yet exciting orgasmic enhancement to boost sexual pleasure during couples sex play.
How Do Penis Sleeves Work?
Penis sleeves work by fitting snugly to the erection. Think of it like a snug glove - it literally clings to the skin. The padding or texture makes sex feel different, so penis sleeves work to enhance sexual pleasure by adding new sensations. Both partners equally share the stimulation too so it's an intimate type of sex toy for couples that encourages deep penetrations and creates lustful energy between partners.
They also work to slow premature ejaculation by removing some of the sensations during sex. The thicker the sleeve, the more muted sensations on the penis will be. Dick sleeves are especially helpful for men who want to increase stamina and last longer in bed.
Benefits of a Penis Sleeve
In addition to sexual stimulation, here are a few other benefits you'll notice:
- Prevents premature ejaculation. By removing sensations during sex, it allows the man to last longer thereby increasing stamina.
- Hands free stimulation. You are free to keep your hands for other things – the sleeve clings to his cock adding pleasure with minimal intervention.
- Makes the penis bigger and/or longer. Girth sleeves are padded to enhance girth, but an extension in the tip also adds length.
- Texture increases pleasure. Textured, ribbed or studded sleeves enhance pleasure by adding new sensations that both partners can enjoy.
How to Use a Penis Sleeve
Watch the video demo to see how it fits on the erection. You'll need to stretch the sheath slightly, but make sure not to wretch it open suddenly or the material can tear. You want to ease it on gently. Think of it like putting on a glove as this is pretty much what it fits like.

Different Types of Penis Sleeves
There are several features, shapes and sizes of cock sleeves that differentiate them from one another. So when you search one that suits your sexual preferences, we can't just tell you one that's better than the rest. Everybody likes something different!
Several factors will influence what the overall experience is like so each couple can find the best penis sleeve depending on what they're looking for. Extra length? More girth? Clitoral stimulation? Something to help with premature ejaculation?
How about a realistic penis sleeve just like real skin? All of these considerations will affect who thinks which particular penis sheath is the most popular penis sleeve for increasing sexual pleasure.
- Penis extensions focus on length gains and provide anywhere between 1 to 3 inches of extension to the dick, depending on the model. The true definition of a extension toy focuses solely on length, not on girth.
- Girth sleeves are huge penis sleeves that are thickly padded to make the erection feel thick and large during sex. Most reviewers and product testers report they feel like a big dildo. These are also so thick that it will remove some of the sensation for him which effectively delays premature ejaculation and make sex last longer.
- Vibrating penis sleeves include a small vibrator that enhances stimulation. The vibrator can be at the base of the shaft for external scrotal or clit stimulation. Some vibrating extenders have internal vibrators that provide vibration on the tip of the penis, and deep in the partner's vagina.
- Padded penis sheath has firm sides to remove sensations on the erection which will help to delay premature ejaculation. These can also be worn by men with mild ED with enough rigidity to support a semi flaccid penis.
- Open ended penis sleeves are a cover that is worn over the erection, but the end is open allowing body warmth transfer and some sensations to enhance sexual pleasure for the wearer. These can be very thick for fantasy sex, or thin and ribbed for improving pleasure while providing erectile support for him.
- Penis sleeves with ball loop have a stretchy ring or brace that wraps around the scrotum. The loop keeps the sleeve in place and prevents it from falling off or rotating. The pressure behind the balls increases sexual enjoyment for the wearer too.
Advice for First Timers
There is 1 piece of essential advice I have for couples to get the most pleasure out of their new purchase: Spread a small amount of lube inside the penis sleeve before slipping it over the erection. This will reduce friction and make it glide on easily. Avoid pulling the sides wide open because it can snap (ouch!) or cause the material to tear.
This nugget of advice is especially useful for silicone or realistic feeling materials as they are more delicate than rubber, which is more durable. Although I still advise customers never to stretch rubber either, over time it will stress the material.
Don't put on too much lube however, if the interior gets too wet, the sleeve can slide off the penis! If you are concerned about it falling off, then choose one with a ball strap to help keep it in place. Now you can spread as much lube throughout the interior as you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a penis sleeve for?
Is it only for sex? Can it be used for masturbation? It is one of those wonderful sex toys designed to improve sexual pleasure for lovers (when worn on a penis during penetrative sex), but can be enjoyed as a solo male sex toy, just like a masturbator.
A loose fitting sleeve can certainly be used for masturbation, it feels good especially if your device has a ribbed interior and a closed end. Stroke it up and down the shaft, but make sure to lubricate it first because friction will tear or stretch the surface.
Do women like penis sleeves?
Most women do! Open communication is key before buying any sex toy online, so make sure to ask your partner if they like the idea or not. Some women enjoy massive fantasy penetrations from a giant cock, others prefer a reasonable and replicated lifelike experience and subtle, gentle texture.
Some women enjoy a thick cock, other ladies love a long dick. Some like it hard, others prefer the soft touch. Texture, ribbed & smooth shafts also vary. Personal preference truly prevails so shop online together to find one you'll both enjoy!
Do they actually enlarge your penis?
No, that is not what they are made for. Enlargement is temporary, if you wear a huge penis sleeve with extra girth, you'll have a wide, fat cock that rivals the size options of her dildos or vibrators, but as soon as you remove it, your dick goes back to its regular penis size. There are never permanent size gains by wearing a cock sleeve.
Can they be used as a contraceptive?
Absolutely not! They are not a barrier during intercourse so a condom should be worn underneath at all times. Safe sex is important, we cannot stress that enough! They are neither a form of contraceptives nor prevent STD's.
The bonus feature to wearing a condom underneath: You don't need to wash cum out of the interior. Simply wash the exterior and then throw the condom away. No concerns about spilling ejaculate on the floor by mistake!
Can you cum inside?
Yes, you can cum inside a penis sleeve. Think of it like ejaculating inside a condom, it contains the cum until you pull it off. Make sure to pinch the base closed around your shaft and hold it on your dick as you walk to the trash can so you don't spill ejaculate on the bed or floor.
Important note: A cock sleeve is NOT a form of birth control and does NOT prevent the transmission of STD's. You still need to wear a condom underneath.
It's easy to flush cum out of the interior. Hold the open end under the faucet and let water rush through. Add some antibacterial soap and create a lather, then rinse again. Be sure to leave it out to dry before storing so that the interior can completely air-dry otherwise it can mold if stored in a spot with minimal air flow.
Are they good for erectile dysfunction?
Penis sleeves require an erection to work properly. They cannot be supported on their own. If you try to put one on a flaccid dick, it will just fall off. If you have erectile dysfunction, then choosing a hollow strap on penis is the best option. All hollow toys are rigid enough for penetration even despite a man having erectile dysfunction or unable to get a full erection with a semi flaccid dick.
What does sex with a penis sleeve feel like?
Sex feels different! This is most accurate verbal quote of what sex with a penile sleeve feels like, but here are a few more sensations you'll notice:
- Sex feels tighter regardless of its size.
- Padded sleeves add a “cushy” or “pillowy” feel.
- Realistic sleeves feel like sex with a soft dildo.
- Rubber or gel feels slippery & fast, use warming lube to make it warm up quicker!
- Open ended sleeves add skin-to skin contact with a thick, padded silky contrast.
- Vibrating motors add stimulation for both partners similar to a vibrating dildo.
- Ball loop adds scrotum pressure & enhances orgasms for men.
- penis extender sleeves and only add length, not girth.
- Penis girth sleeves make the vagina feel tight.
