Anyone got tips to prevent vacuum from slipping under the sleeves?

I got a problem where the vacuum tries to escape. I change my sleeve every month but now I have to do it almost every week and thats to expensive for me. Does anyone want to share their tips? I tried to cut off a bit of another sleeve and place it on top of my current sleeve. It works but then after a week it loses its tightness. (if translated correctly)

Thanks

At what point of your hanging session does the vacuum escape? When I hang I leave the hose and pump attached and give it a pump every minute or so. I’ve never been able to have a seal good enough that there was no loss of vacuum.

Do you lube the sleeve and chamber?

Sleeves have been a continuing expense for my vacuum extending and hanging work. I haven’t figured how many hours I get per sleeve, but I have to change them every month to six weeks. They stretch until they don’t seal any more; and I can often drop a new sleeve right through an old sleeve due to the stretch.

I’ve been using cheap Chinese sleeves, US$5 or so each. I haven’t tried any of the $15-$20 American-made sleeves.

I suspect the majority of the stretch comes when I fold the sleeve up over the bell, but there’s really no other way to get the rig on. I can flip the sleeve around and get a few more days, sometimes a week, before it starts to leak from that end too.

Cutting up old sleeves to use as compression band will help. Not as much as I expected it would, but some, and what else are you going to do with a stretched sleeve? Use the widest piece you can get over the bell, and I found that it’s more effective close to the bell than down at the base, which is where I was putting the band to start with.

Thanks guys for the replies but I switched methods. I hope not but maybe in the future I can learn from this.

I have had this happen also when the tape slips slightly. Might not be what you experienced but thought I would mention it. I updated my taping technique and it stopped it slipping.

Good luck with the new method.

Try washing and drying out the sleeve and also the bell before each use. I’ve also found that inverting the sleeve helps for a better seal.

To prevent vacuum leakage I cut a clear silicone ring about 1 inch long and place it right at top of the shaft just behind the glans. When the outer sleeve (from the vac cup) goes over the inner ring it makes a tight seal under vacuum. To hang heavy weight I would place another outer silicone ring at that area as compression band. I have not found a need to replace the sleeve or silicone rings for the past 4 months of use.

Old thread I know.
I use a piece of velcro strap snugly wrapped right behind the bell.

Ever since I switched to my sleeve from my lg hanger I almost have to right off a seal which may be causing me tingling. I use the total man cup with an lg hanger I’ve had slippage before with sleeves I didn’t change for months when I couldn’t change it I also would use the Velcro
