Hi all. I'm glad you (Tuffdog), posted your tearing experiences with your sleeves. I too ripped my blue sleeves quickly. Then changed to DuraSleeves and purchased the largest one that's listed in the size choices, because I thought I was ripping them because I'm using ones that are too small. My girth right now is 5.75". I wouldn't think that would be too thick for the large dura sleeve. The larger durasleev felt really great for 2 days, but on the third day, I saw a very small area on the thicker end that looked like a nick. The next day it got bigger. Then when I struggled to use it with my new sillistretcher2, it ripped a lot, so I took it off before it ripped all the way down. For the last 2 days I've just turned to my ace bandage for staying stretched between exercises, but it's a lot of work unwrapping and rerapping every hour. And I still don't trust sleeping in the wrap all night yet. I own a Size Genetics and now that I've grown in girth, my penis doesn't fit into the S.G. when I have a sleev on, and it's not comfortable in the S.G. without a sleev plus some additional protection where it connects around the sensitive area just behind the glans. What does anyone suggest for being extended between workouts? Thanks in advance.
