Ab Silicone

Cheeba,

Assuming the sleeve you have is an ABSilicone "pumping" sleeve it might be worth saving it for pumping and get another firmer one for ADS work such as an Xsleeve. ABSilicone seem to be the only ones making a pumping specific sleeve which is ideal for pumping as it is so soft. However it is easily torn and not that cheap. A firmer sleeve may be better for ADS work.

Here is a trick to help fit a sleeve - Vacuum ADS and taping problems - see post 14. Also be careful in taking it off. I think I did minor nerve damage to my glans by by rolling an xsleeve up and over my glans while removing it. Desensitised my glans and I could not ejaculate for a month.

Based on reviews of their products on other threads, I placed an order with ABS. Their website claims most orders ship within 24 hours, larger orders may take a couple days. I ordered 2 sleeves.

It’s been a week. I’ve received an email confitming my order. An email that a shipping label was created 2 days after my order. NO responses to ANY of my emails requesting an update on the status of my order. I paid extra for expedited shipping too.

So I am not happy with the service from this company at all. Anybody else that had an issue with ABS that has any suggestions to help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes many have had issues , the main one is they can be very slow .

I order my silicone sleeves from directselect on ebaydotcom, they are first class.

I will cancel my order today and see how quickly it ships.

I placed an order from ABSilicone on 10-1-2015. 10-28-15 I received an email that it shipped and the tracking ID. When I would check the tracking ID it said label had been created and nothing more. I sent numerous emails asking for status and never received a reply. 12-15-2015 I still hadn’t received it, and the tracking info still only said label created, so I emailed and asked to ship immediately or cancel. I gave up on the order and refund. Never heard anything until it showed up months later. I don’t even remember the date it showed up. I have since used DirectSelect on ebay as Walter5169 recommended. They were prompt and product was good.

Funny, as soon as I mentioned cancelling my order and full refund, my order shipped!

This is one of the reasons I love this forum!

I’m experiencing the same thing right now w/ AB silicone..

I placed an order last week, and paid extra for the two day shipping.

All it shows is that order was created, and nobody has responded to my emails!

I’m gonna do the same threatening to cancel move right now! Thanks guys!

( Anybody locate a phone number for them!? )

No phone number. I looked hard. They took my order on the first. Shipped it today on the 12th. A bit pissed but…this product is supposed to be amazing so I’m open minded.

Sent 3 emails, increasingly irate. Those worked too, as the next day they shipped.

Once they send the Tracking ID to you track it and see what the actual status is. With my situation the tracking ID was created but the status showed that only the label had been created and nothing more for weeks/ months. It was quite deceiving.

ABSilicone’s customer service is ABSOLUTE CRAP. I sent them a number of emails and they NEVER responded to any of them. They shipped my order a week late and I’m sure that their refusal to answer any of my emails proves that they aren’t willing to work with me to refund my expedited shipping charges since they sat on my order for a week.

Now, about their products. I ordered the extender sleeves. These are decent. The are 2 things I would recommend
*make them another inch longer.
*make them half as thick.

I used mine for 2 hours with the extender and was pleased. However, I would be able to use higher tension if these were half as thin. This would also make it easier to get a good grip with the extender.

After the extender, I decided to put on the 6” pumping sleeve to prevent turtling. First challenge was how to get my fat dick into this small diameter tube. No way I could pull it on so I rolled it up so it looked like a doughnut and then rolled it onto my cock. I set it up so the end was just behind the glans and the other end is right at my pubes. Well WOW! This thing works great for anti-turtling device. It is soft and keeps my penis extended to almost 6” just behind the head. The glans is slightly swollen but it is not uncomfortable. I’ve had it on for 4 hours and it is still comfortable. I even did another session in the extender while wearing this. The extra girth made it a little difficult to feed everything through the base of the extender but is was possible. And after another 2 hours in the extender, I just took the extender off and left the pumping sleeve on.

So now I’ll spend the rest of the evening in the sleeve until it’s time to go to bed. I think I just found a new way to do my extender workouts and also have an anti-turtling device that I can wear for hours. Oh, peeing is not a problem. The sleeve does add some extra squeeze but a little harder push gets the bladder empty.

Great heads up guys: I checked my shipping order, and those clowns got right to it after I got pissy and threatened to cancel.. Should be on my doorstep today! I will post how good the gear looks/quality/etc..

@Grx great share on the techniques! What kind of extender do you have? I have the quick ext pro,,

How’d you go about cancelling the order?

This sounds like a fantastic idea. Please update us on how your flaccid looks when you take off the sleeve at night.

So it looks like we can buy silicone sleeves from the following: 1) ABsilicone, 2) DirectSelect, and 3) Autoextender from Monkeybar.

That being said, Autoextender is the only supplier that offers them in a thinner soft version. I’m wondering if that might be the way to go, since the thickness of some of the other ones can get in the way of using a higher amount of force on the extenders (as Grx suggested). The downside is that the softer/thinner sleeves are more prone to tearing. Any thoughts…?

I really like the silicone bands that came with the Penimaster. They are thin and you can wrap them really tight to keep from getting edema in the glans and circ scar. I got some from direct select and the finish quality is slightly less than ABS. The lengths are not consistent either. I will use the longer ones but I think I have 1 or 2 that may be too short to use with my velcro band.

Regarding the silicone sleeve as an anti-turtling device. It worked great for a number of hours. Unfortunately, I wore it for some extender sessions and got quite a bit of edema on the glans. This made it swell up and the sleeve was very difficult to roll off. For future use, I will be sure to squeeze the glans throughout the wear time to limit the amount of edema.
