Silisleev Rip

I wore a new silisleve with my silistrechter today and within a couple hours it ripped. I have a longer silisleeve that has stood the test of hours and hours in the silistretcher to the point it is getting discolored. The new one was slightly shorter, but ripped within hours. I wanted to experiment with a new sleeve vs the one I have broken in as it has become slightly lose due to being used frequently. The outcome was that using this new sleeve gave me a nice tighter pull in the silistrechter without any issues where air gets in and loosens the grip, but the sleeve ripped.

1.) What should I do about the rip? It is beyond repair.

2.) Is it better to use the Duropro even for passive stretching in the silistretcher. I typically hang with the lengthmaster and a wrap, but use my silistretcher daily and want consistency with the nice type grip I feel with a new sleeve. The feeling is similar to having such a great grip that you can feel even the internal stretch when even just doing passive work.

3.) I want to build up a nice set of everyday use and backup sleeves for my silistretcher. Is it better to just use duropros from here on out?

did you use the durosleeve 3/4" diameter size on the ss2 when it ripped? i tried to use the durosleeve 3/4" size on my ss2 and it ripped. i just switched it to the durosleeve 1" diameter... problem solved hehe

to answer your questions in order:

1) when my durosleeve 3/4" size ripped, i was lucky that it ripped only about 1/2". i just cut the sleeve right below the rip and have had no more issues; although, i don't use it as much now. however, if you're looking to get it replaced, get in touch with sales. the customer service is excellent: fast replies and very friendly.

2) for passive stretching, i think a silipro would benefit you more. the duropro is rigid and flexes a little bit. the silipro is more flexible and comfortable for extended wear. i can't use my ss2 during the day, so i keep my penis extended with the silipro. currently, when i hang, i use the silipro as my wrap and duropro on the bell. if it matters, i am hanging 15lbs for 30 minutes at 3 sets with this setup. *warning: there will be FR on the glans haha* also, when i try to use it when i sleep, i use a 3" section of silipro 3/4" size.

3) the regular silisleeves are a nice product. as i have said, when i use the ss2 as an ads, i still use my original silisleeve5 and durosleeve ( i ordered separately). my experience with the regular silisleeves with hanging was nice even at 10-12.5lbs. out of curiosity, i wanted to try the "pro" line, so i bought a silipro and duropro. no offense to the original silisleeves, but i don't think i will buy anything but the silipro or duropro. also, a notable comparison between the original and pro is that the silipro is softer, but has better grip. the original sleeve is smooth inside, but the pro has a coarse interior, which, i believe, helps it grip better.

i can get long winded, so i'll be brief now. let me know if you want a further explanation for any answers

I did use the 3/4 diamater. Makes sense why it split. I was supplementing the 3/4 diamater as a test to see if a "new" sleeve would amount to a tighter firmer hold, which it did, just couldnt handle long hours. Should I buy new 1' diameter silisleevepro and duropro to use for my silistretcher in passive mode. I just want to reduce any type of slippage due to air getting into the sleeve when I am extended due to my unit getting slightly less girthier as it is doing passive work. I also believe maybe a new sleeve every so often can improve the grip strength leading to more productive passive sessions almost like the internal is being pulled. Never tried the duropro as a sleeve for hanging with the SS. I usually wrap and use my LM. I would like to hang 10+ lbs from the silistretcher I think the way to go would go with multiple NEW duropros at 1' diameter to accomodate my girth as well as give me the nice hold in passive healing and ability to use the SS as a hanger as well. Thanks for the replies RedBull

no problem, slimjim

imo, you don't need to invest in a duropro for passive mode. the duropro is soft in the inside but not as soft as the silipro and definitely not as flexible as the silipro. i believe flexibility is important for comfort when wearing it for long periods. now, if you have extra cash to spare, buy the 10" duropro to gain experience with it. you said that you wanted to hang with the ss2 and the duropros will work better than the silipros when you go up in weight. also, you get more bang for your buck by buying the 10" size. i bought the 10" size and i cut it into 2" pieces for hanging. i have already used one 2" piece and now on my 2nd piece. the first 2" piece lasted about a month, so i am just assuming each new 2" piece will last me a month. this means the 10" sleeve will last me 5 months. however, i may have to cut it into larger pieces once i go up in weight for hanging.

just as a side note: when i hang, i do not setup the sleeve per video instructions. my wrap is silipro on my shaft and i secure it with the duropro on the bell.

this is my last purchase:
- silipro 10" sleeve 3/4" diameter - i have cut a 3" piece and a 2" piece for stand alone extended wear and used it for about a month nearly everyday. even after this much use, i sense only a slight increase in the size. not enough to warrant me cutting new sections. i have 5" of sleeve on stand-by.

- silipro 10" sleeve 1" diameter - not really using this size at the moment, actually i don't think i ever used this size, maybe to try it on hehehe. i do have a 3" piece and 2" piece that i had cut, but not used, on stand-by.

- duropro 10" sleeve 1" diameter ( i wish duropros came with 3/4 " diameter sizing ) - i use this daily when i hang. i love it so far


i plan on ordering another silipro and duropro just to have extra on hand. i never know when i may come up with a crazy idea... HA!



in summary, for ads/passive mode, get the silipro. you can hang light weights and it will be comfortable to use to keep your penis extended as a stand alone. for sizing, if you're not sure, get the 3/4" size, unless you have huge flaccid girth. the 3/4" size has a nice stretch to it and even if you have big girth, it will fit snug, but shouldn't constrict. i wear my silipro for hours without my glans going numb, maybe a slight discoloration, but no numbness

Excellent work my Brother! Excellent!

Afternoon, Oz. That definitely seems like it's working! How have your gains been if you don't mind me asking?

Also, Do you recommend sleeping with the Silipro after a good hanging workout? My plan for example:
10 AM - 22 PM Use the Phallosan Forte Extender with no silisleeve (Thinking of switching to SS2 but I'm not sure)
After that, I use the SS2 for hanging, I like your idea of doing 3 sets of 30 minutes with 10-15 lbs so I'll also implement it.

The question is, the silisleeve (Silipro) You claim to use it while hanging and sometimes while sleeping? I heard that you can use it all day and it helps leave the penis in the elongated state which is good for gains. Because of this, I also plan to use it at midnight and fall asleep right after using it. only to take it off and repeat my routine, but what's your opinion on this?

I'll do this for roughly 6 days a week, but do you think it won't let my penis receive the rest it receives? And if so, do you have any improvements or better opinions for this?

I'm still new to all of this, I just wanted to get in a good idea before I start. I will make sure to gradually work my way up to the routine as I understand it will take time for my body to adapt.

Thank you.

hey, samurai, no problem!

i don't mind at all i have been using the ss2 since the end of november 2020, so a few months now. of course, i had the initial growing pains ( no pun intended ) of figuring out the device, so i wasn't really consistent until, probably, mid-december. my gains since receiving the ss2 are 1/2" longer, uncemented. i am consistently a 1/4" longer, so i could possibly have cemented that 1/4", but i believe it's still too early to know that. i also don't want to stop a few days of exercise just to confirm if i cemented 1/4" hehehe.

Click to expand...

short answer: yes. you always want to stay in an extended state, especially after a session

long answer: you have to be aware of your body's limit. try to wear the silipro during the day and see what your tolerances are, i.e., does it get uncomfortable after 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc... this will be a good indicator of how long you will be able to wear it during your sleep before you need to reset or to take it off. also, a good thing to keep in mind is that you will have erections throughout the night and this could cause discomfort. for me, it's my frenulum and circ scar. if you are a heavy sleeper, set an alarm to go off after a few hours to check on the condition of your penis. personally, i'm a heavy sleeper, but my body goes into what i call "emergency" mode and i wake up from discomfort ( i hope that i didn't just jinx myself haha ).


are you a compression hanger? if so, throw it out the window,,, hanging with the ss2 is a different beast. when you start hanging with the ss2, go light. start with 5lbs or less, then go up in weight. your penis might be able to handle 5lbs, but you have to get your glans to adjust to the vacuum in the bell. blisters are a real thing and fr will always be there.


imo, sleeping with the silipro will bring gains faster. you'll be in an extended state for the hours that you sleep, so, potentially 6-8 hours, or however many hours, of passive stretched state. this is the reason i try to sleep with it on every night, even though, i eventually take it off. i've been wearing the silipro about 5 hours today ( still wearing it while i type this ) with no breaks or adjustments. i did use the bathroom once and checked on the condition. i have no discomfort, no numbness in the glans, but the glans is a dark red and my frenulum is starting to get a little sore; nothing that, i think, needs my attention.

why not 7 days?

when you are in an extended state, it should be just that,,, extended. there shouldn't be too much tension,,, just a nice, relaxed extension. your penis is resting in this state and will, eventually, cement in this state. there are scientific terms where the cells will divide into more cells while you are in the extended state, but i really don't know the terms,,, sorry

let me know if you have any other questions that i might be able to answer


* i don't want to get your hopes up or don't want to get things hyped up right now, but i had an idea and i'm experimenting ( it's been two days ) with a way to comfortably sleep with in the extended state, for me, sleeping with the ss2 attached. i want to experiment for another week or two and if it works out, i will be making a new thread.

Honestly, that's amazing gains in my opinion! Even if it's not cemented yet, I'm sure if you keep it stretched, it won't take long! I hope that at this pace you're able to quickly reach your goal!

You're right, I need to know my limits. I'll try sleeping with it and see how things go but if It's too hard, I might just leave it for 1-2 hours after midnight hanging. Regarding being a heavy sleeper, we have something in common. The only way to really wake me up is with an alarm in my ear, so I'm not sure how it'll feel like to wake up to a purple thong under my underwear...

Fortunately, the human body has this function.

And regarding sleeping within the extended state, I look forward to hearing about your experiment!! I heard it was possible to sleep with phallosan Forte which was one of the reasons I got it, however I'm not sure how accurate this is as I haven't test it yet.

Thank you for the reply! May we have great gains, Brother!

rest days definitely don't hurt. even i take days off sometimes ( sometimes not by choice... injury hehe )... i know that people still make good gains even with rest days, but i'm in the boat to train everyday when i can. since, you're starting out and fairly new, taking rest days until you condition your penis may be beneficial for you.

yes, i have a feeling this may yield positive results. i'm still keeping my fingers crossed. i'm not too familiar with the phallosan, so i can't comment on that device. however, to test the device for sleeping, take a short nap with it on and see how it works for you.

You're right, taking rest days until it's ready for everyday may help in the beginning. I'll join in the daily gains right after ^ remember to not overwork yourself and always stick to a schedule.

That's great to hear! Phallosan is also another stretcher, it seemed good so I bought it within the first week of seeing it, which may have been too quick, but there were plenty of good reviews. There are studies which show it can be used while sleeping.

Hey Oz, how have you been?
Just wanted to check on how that technique went, have you been able to passively sleep?

Hey @SamuraiX

i've been well, thank you. how have you been? how has your training been?

the technique i was experimenting with is getting there. there were some bumps in the road, but i am getting used to it. i am confident in it, so i will be making a new thread in the ss2 forum with my experiences. i'll link it when i'm finished

I've been good thankfully, my training has only been manual stretches now as I've yet to return to the UK where all my PE gear packages that I ordered are. According to JP90's routine I'm a faster gainer, so that was some good news.
Sorry to hear about the bumps, but I'm glad you remain confident! You never know how many people you may help with that method, including yourself. Just don't go too hard on yourself! I look forward to seeing the thread and experiences.
