Silicone Sleeves - Make your own

Curious as to how you’re using a silicon sleeve? What purpose is it intended for?
Making sleeves the correct way involves some equipment. Making a quality mold, correctly mixing the silicon, having a degassing chamber to purge all the tiny air bubbles and how you inject it into the mold will determine quality and success.

Increase length, and, if possible, girth.

I used that typical acetic 50g silicon tube from the next block’s hardware store.

Mine came out like the pictures of yours. Not so smooth, but just as stretchable and resistant: never torn, despite me twisting it while attempting to make it fit.

But thicker than yours.
I can make one of any measure, but if I make one that a baseball fits in, it comes off immediately. Doesn’t grip.

Still, I need assistance in this area: the shape.. The sizes.. What’s the best to make it fit AND STAY, taking into consideration the many details from my previous post

What is ascetic 50g silicone tube. I want to make my own sleeves but don’t want to spend a lot of money. You say you purchased that at a hardware store? Can you tell me what to buy?

Hi Tps I want to thank you for your very useful forum post.

I am Italian but I often read posts in other languages and I must say that fortunately I found your article on sleeves.

Very detailed and comprehensive.

I also posted the address on my journal

because I am sure that many Italian users will read it with interest.

Thanks

Sorry.
I forgot to tell I’m not american. Sloppy of my part. Maybe this one comes in different forms in different countries.

In my country the most common silicone is the acetic one. The size varies. There is the 50g (sufficient), 100g, 250g and so on.

It’s used to insulate small openings against water leak, so it should be found on small or large hardware stores or building/construction materials store.

Don’t know the effect on human skin.

This acetic one cures with air over 10mins to 24h. You need to push the paste inside the mold you are using.
If after finished you find imperfections, those imperfections can be filled with the same silicon.

The author of the thread has a different silicon. One that you mix two parts to cure. I never seen it. It probably fills the mold without having to push.

The photo of me stretching the sleeve over the baseball demonstrates the durometer or elasticity / softness of the silicon. That particular sleeve has a 1.125” internal diameter and as you can see will stretch 5 times it’s original diameter without tearing. Not knowing what the durometer (softness) of your silicon makes it difficult to advise on all the particular “how to’s” of molding silicon rubber. The higher the durometer number the more rigid and difficult it will be to stretch the rubber.

Thank you.
Those infos are helpful

Will make some adjustments here

I noticed you answered my question in a previous post about intended use… “Increase length, and, if possible, girth.”
I have found from personal experience that shorter sections of sleeve stacked along length of shaft works better at keeping your flaccid length and girth longer and fuller than a single continuous length of sleeve. Especially true if you transition from a seated to standing position frequently.

Which is why I made special molds to create our Girth Bands. We have four different sizes (all measured from internal diameter). Each Girth Band is molded with a 1/4” rib at each end to provide extra rigidity. All Girth Bands are 1 3/4” long.

I wouldn’t expect anyone to look for any increase in length or girth from simply using any type of silicon sleeve. I view them as a supplemental accessory to compliment a more intense PE work out that would be weight hanging, aggressive hand stretching / jelqing, and pumping. Their primary purpose is to help cement gains while you recover from more intense PE training, and to train your penis to not turtle while flaccid.

Do you sell those girth bands? I like the idea with the beveled edge.

Yes we sell them. They can be purchased from our website.
Four sizes all measured from internal diameter - 7/8”, 1”, 1 1/8” & 1 1/4” all made from the same silicon and durometer as our sleeves. Suggested sizing chart is there too.

I’m still in trouble

I redone my sleeve using the pictures and information provided: seems to stretch just as much, and at the same time wraps fairly tight around the shaft (glans uncovered).
BUT IT COMES OFF !
Comes off as a glove leaves the hand when pulled.
I even tied straps/knots around the sleeve after dressing it to make it even tighter, but nothing !

Again: new on the business. Whoever can share instructions will be welcomed.

Not to worry: the sleeve I made has a handle to attack the weight/elastic. But I’m still on the previous step, which is making it stay.

Which brings the question I almost forgot to ask: for the weighted sleeve, is there an ideal length ?

The “ideal” length would be based on how long you are when flaccid. Not sure what type of weighted sleeve device you’re trying to use, or how much weight we’re talking about. If you’re talking about a single pound or less then I’d suggest a sleeve that is at least 2.5 - 3” long. The more surface area contact the better IMO.

Makes sense.

And maybe you found my problem: I was attempting do hang something with the equivalent strength to two pounds or more. Perhaps it’s normal for it to slip off with that much weight..

.And more questions pop up

I have the ideal length, diameter and elasticity, thanks to your generous assistance (I mean it, specially knowing you might waiver some budget by helping). Now, the only missing piece (if I’m not abusing): The ideal weight ?

The ideal weight really depends on what your goal is. If it’s just to provide enough traction to prevent your flaccid from retracting or “turtling” then anything around 8 ounces to a pound will do. If you plan on wearing discretely under clothing it’s difficult to use much more than that.

If however you’re not concerned about concealing it out in public, then more weight is preferable…. 2-3 lbs. Then the shape of weight and how you attach it will be important in order to prevent it from slipping off.

Hi guys,

I apologise if this been asked before, I want to make some sleaves for pumping. Currently I’m using cheap flashlight type masturbators for it but they just don’t accommodate my needs.

As an engineer I have axes to all aquipment to make a proper casting mold.

What I don’t have is a knowledge about silicone and need your advice wich silicone would be closest to a flashlight material?

Thanks,
