Sex should feel good for everyone involved, and sometimes a little support can make all the difference. That’s where a penis sleeve comes in. These toys can help extend size, delay climax, and build confidence during partnered play. They’re especially useful for those dealing with sensitivity or looking to explore new sensations without pressure.
After testing a variety of sleeves, VixSkin Colossus came out on top. The thick VixSkin material added both girth and length, while also reducing stimulation just enough to help with control. The realistic detailing added to the visual appeal, but it was the curved shaft and textured interior that really impressed us. It managed to stimulate both the wearer and the receiver in a way that few others matched, making it a solid choice for couples looking to level up their experience.
Why You Should Trust Us
Tim Larson started My Sex Toy Guide in 2016 and has tested pleasure products professionally since then. Millions have read Tim’s guides and reviews, and the site has become one of the largest online review sites. In addition, the team keeps growing, and there are now 20 sexual health and relationship experts contributing content to the site.
This article took over 100 hours to complete with the help of our tester, Shane Davis. Tim and Shane started with over 30 penis sleeves that they narrowed down to just the top 5. In addition to their own expertise, they interviewed sexual aid reviewers and everyday users on sites like Reddit and Quora.

How We Picked The Products
We selected more than 30 penis extenders for this review and brought in my colleagues at My Sex Toy Guide for hands-on testing. Before starting, we defined clear scoring criteria to rate each review sample on a scale from 0 to 100. These included the following:
- Design. What’s your ideal design? Some people prefer a natural look with a veiny shaft and tapered head. Others love an intensely textured model with a series of nubs and bumps. We reviewed all options to ensure everyone had several options, including those who love the smoothly-textured sleeves.
- Size. The ideal dimensions will depend on your penis size and the form of reinforcement you’re looking for. Whether you’re after more length or girth, there’s something for everyone. I even included models that provide length and girth extensions for the double-whammy type effect.
- Settings. We prioritized models with multiple vibration combinations when picking vibrating penis extenders and massagers. Besides being perfect for different users, more settings let you customize the experience better for maximum enjoyment.
- Build Quality. Besides ensuring we only review penis extenders made from body-safe materials, we paid attention to the design, prioritizing high-quality builds from industry leaders like Vixen Creations, Doc Johnson’s, Lovense, and Fifty Shades of Grey.
- Special Features. Before testing the penis sleeves, I made a list of special features, comparing the different sleeves. Some features that we appreciated were realistic detailing, canal texturing, flexibility, durability, and ease of use. Standout features like mobile control didn’t bear much luck, but we added the Lovense Gush 2 to meet the needs of long-distance couples.
During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Build Quality (25%). After that come Size (10%), Comfort (10%), and Price & Value (5%).
After the analysis and deliberation with fellow sex experts, I firmly believe these are the 5 best cock sleeves.
Everything We Tested
In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criterion.
1. Vixen VixSkin Colossus: Best For PE!
Why we love Vixen VixSkin Colossus:
Since the very first edition of this article, way back in 2016, Vixen VixSkin Colossus has been our pick as the best penis sleeve for people with premature ejaculation. Despite some product releases this year, nothing could still beat this trusted workhorse. We especially love that the silicone-made sex aid has a 1.5″ stretchable canal that accommodates most penis sizes, adding significant length and girth to your member for an amplified penetrative sex experience.
Overall, Colossus did a better job reducing penis sensitivity during sex than the other products on this list, ultimately remedying premature ejaculation and prolonging erections for a long and satisfying sexual experience.
Another thing that stood out from the competition was the excellent attention to detail. “The realistic detailing adds fuel to the fire. Everything from the veiny texture to the lifelike bulbous head and defined coronal ridge looks and feels incredible”, our tester Shane Davis wrote in his test report. In the image above, you can see a close-up of the details.
Let’s stay with the design a little bit longer and address the textured inner canal (image below). It has a stimulating massaging effect, coupled with the vacuum suction from the thrusting motion, making the experience thrilling to the wearer and receiver. Just wow!
Colossus also has a stretchy ball loop that keeps it in position during play. We put it through rigorous testing, and it didn’t fall off at all. Bravo! The ball loop is also quite stretchy yet firm. The team thought it helped steer the testicles in the right area and keep them in place during play.
While the Colossus might be perfect for people with premature ejaculation, it does little for those with erectile dysfunction. It’s too floppy for insertion and won’t suffice with a flaccid penis. I tried it half-erect, and the top half repeatedly collapsed – I had to use penis sleeve inserts (sold separately). If you want something for PE issues, the below RX sleeve is a much better option.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Unfortunately, Vixen VixSkin Colossus is on the expensive side. It costs $152.99 – $169.99, a price most people consider costly for a male penis sleeve.
In addition, the stretchy ball strap’s quality could be better. It chaffs the skin after extended use and, contrary to the manufacturer’s words, positioning the loop comfortably so the head is in the correct spot takes some getting used to.
Why Vixen VixSkin Colossus is the highest-rated penis sleeve for PE:
Unlike the other sleeves we tested, the Colossus’ squishy TPE finish scored the highest in comfort and for prolonging ejaculation. We also found it the easiest to put on and take off after sex.
In addition, the testers highlighted VixSkin Colossus’ size and how the added length and girth help minimize sensitivity during intercourse, therefore remedying premature ejaculation. With a naturally detailed shaft and textured canal, the sleeve amplifies the sensations for the wearer and receiver. More importantly, it has a curved shaft that enhances precise internal stimulation for G-spot and P-spot stimulation fans. Overall, you won’t be able to find a better model for PE issues than the Colossus!
If you want to see what Vixskin Colossus looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
- Material: Body-safe Silicone
- Canal Diameter: 1.5″
- Circumference: 7″
- Insertable Length: 7″
Pros:
- The most effective cock sleeve for premature ejaculation.
- Body-safe and easy-to-clean silicone material.
- A realistic shaft amplifies the sensations.
- The textured canal has a massaging effect on the wearer.
- The life-like penis sleeve has a stretchy loop to keep it in place.
- You can choose between three skin tones.
Cons:
- It’s pricey – $152.99 – $169.99.
2. RX Sleeve Manhattan: Best For ED!
Why we love RX Sleeve Manhattan:
Alright, the next entry is for all the men suffering from erectile dysfunction: RX Sleeve Manhattan. The 7″ sex aid has a hollow yet solid canal that adds girth and length to your penis for a good self-pleasuring experience. It also comes with an adjustable inner rod to give you maximum erectness when you need it the most.
The adjustable inner rod was a genius hack for people with ED. It adds a solid feel to the penis tip, making Manhattan more effective for the wearer and the overall experience pleasurable for the receiver. No other manufacturer included this option, which made Manhattan stand out (If you know of another product with this feature, please email me at [email protected] and I will have a look)
We also appreciated Manhattan’s patented harness system. “Unlike other cock sheaths, a handy loop stretches over your balls for a custom fit. It also has a comfortable waist strap with a drawstring for straightforward fit customization”, our lead product tester, Tim Larson, wrote in his test report.
You can customize your Manhattan sleeve by choosing between two-hole girths and the material’s density. I went with the soft model, and it felt very good during use.
Minor issues we found during testing:
The only downside was the crazy price tag. RX Sleeve Manhattan costs $425 – $590, which is more expensive than 80% of my dildo collection.
Why RX Sleeve Manhattan is the highest-rated penis sleeve for ED:
We loved the multiple hole dimensions and firmness degrees. Most importantly, the removable inner rod made Manhattan perfect for people with erectile dysfunction. It amplifies the erection as you thrust for a more satisfying partnered sex experience. The sleeve’s ball loop and waistband also got positive ratings from the team, with most of my colleagues describing it as an excellent addition that made it more secure for rough-sex fans.
- Material: Body-safe Silicone
- Hole Circumference: 3.5″ – 4″
- Insertable Length: 5.5″
Pros:
- The most effective cock sleeve for people with erectile dysfunction.
- A removable inner rod amplifies your erections.
- The realistic-looking penis shaft looks and feels great.
- RX’s upward curve enhances precise stimulation.
- The ball loop and waistband help keep the sleeve in position.
- You can customize the canal girth and firmness degree.
Cons:
- Manhattan is expensive – $425 – $590.
3. Lovehoney Mega Mighty 3″ Extender: Best For Adding Length!
Why we love Lovehoney Mega Mighty 3″ Extender:
If you want a few extra inches on your penis for intense penetrative sex, you should add Lovehoney Mega Mighty to your shopping cart ASAP! The super soft plastic penis extender adds up to 3 inches to your member, giving you confidence and might to drive your partner to the edge with toe-curling, sheet-grabbing deep thrusts.
The realistic design, which includes a lifelike head, veiny texture, and defined raphe, stood out during our review. “The natural look makes Mega Mighty a good fit for people who favor lifelike stimulation. While I’ve used more intimidating sleeves, the Mega Mighty was one of the absolute top performers, especially for a $34.99 extender”, our tester Shane Davis confirmed.
For a longer sleeve, it’s essential to have a good attachment mechanism, which we found that Mega Mighty implemented better than the other products we tested. It had a practical ball loop (seen in the image above), and besides keeping the large sleeve in place, the soft plastic loop was comfortable over the balls, unlike most firm models.
As you’d expect, the Mega Girthy is ‘lube hungry.’ It took a few squeezes of my water-based lube to get my penis comfortable inside. Luckily, it only took a few seconds to get it all ready, and the ball loop felt great.
Something else we appreciated about the massive penis extender was the ‘heftiness’ of wearing it. “It felt great seeing my wife enjoy the feeling of fullness from my reinforced member”, our tester Tim Larson wrote in his report. “Unfortunately, the thick material meant I had close to zero sensations on my penis, and I had to remove the sleeve finish. I think Lovehoney should consider adding internal texturing for the wearer”, Tim added.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Getting into the Mega Mighty was tricky, and it took lots of lube and twisting to get my member inside comfortably. I consider myself average, so I’d imagine the extra-girthy folks might not like the constricted feeling. Conversely, smaller guys might not enjoy the oversized sheath experience.
In addition, one reviewer raised concerns about the vacuum left near the tip if you don’t have enough penis length to fill up. The soft plastic build makes it susceptible to bends if you’re on the smaller-than-average side.
Why Lovehoney Mega Mighty” Extender is the highest-rated for adding length:
Something that stood out with the dildo was the impressive 1-3″ of added length. I don’t know about you, but an extra three inches is most men’s dream. My colleagues also loved the penis extender’s soft plastic, terming it perfect for people with sensitive vaginal or anal muscles. And with admirable features like the ball loop, realistic detailing, and affordable pricing, the Mega Mighty was rated as the “Best For Adding Length”.
If you want to see what Lovehoney Mega Mighty looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
- Material: Soft Plastic
- Canal Diameter: 1.5″
- Circumference: 5.75″
- Internal Length: 5.5″
Pros:
- Incredible penis sleeves to add up to 3 inches.
- The waterproof build means thrilling aquatic play.
- A lifelike shaft enhances the sensations.
- Convenient ball loop for a steady play experience.
- A slight upward curve for precise G-spot and P-spot stimulation.
Cons:
- Minimal internal stimulation from the wearer.
- It bends if you’re on the smaller side.
4. Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O: Our Budget Pick!
Why we love Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O:
Unlike penis sleeves that mask sensitivity, penis rings work with what you have to promote an extended lovemaking experience, and Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O is no exception. Notably, the cock ring costs $9.99, meaning it is your most affordable bet. For less than $10, the skin-safe silicone product is a good value for money and a quick fix to your prolonged erections deficiency.
Besides the attractive price tag, the ring’s smooth finish stood out. Unlike the heavily textured models, it traps the blood firmly without giving in, making your erections stronger and enhancing endurance. Unlike most of the cock rings I’ve used over the years, Fifty Shades of Grey’s smooth finish meant no pinching and painful hair trapping.
The 5″ silicone ring did a good job trapping blood at the base of your penis, ultimately maintaining erections so you can have sex for longer. Our team especially appreciated the flexible design that made it perfect for different sizes. In the image above, you can see me demonstrate how to put it on a dildo.
The testers also found the cock ring easy to wear, much easier than the other budget models we tested. Shane Davis summarized his experience like this: “I didn’t even need to sprinkle lube on my penis to roll the penis ring over. Once intact, it effectively halts blood flow from the penis – I was more confident having it on and certainly enjoyed the stronger and longer erections.”
Lastly, its small and lightweight design meant I could carry it with me everywhere I went. My wife has already gotten fond of me pulling it out in the most unexpected spaces, especially when we travel away from home.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Unfortunately, the cock ring is only available in one size. And even with the stretchy design that means it can fit most penis sizes, the extra girthy guys might find it tight.
Why Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O is our budget pick:
For $9.99, the Fifty Shades of Grey cock ring is the most affordable sex aid for men. Even without the complexities of a penis sleeve, the small ring restricts blood flow in your penis so you can last longer in bed. The reviewers highlighted its pricing, ease of use, submersible property, and stretchy material as the most outstanding features.
If you want to see what Fifty Shades of Grey a Perfect O looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
- Material: Silicone
- Circumference: 5″
Pros:
- The most affordable male sex aid.
- It prolongs your erections.
- The stretchy silicone material will fit most sizes.
- It’s easy to use.
- The compact size makes it travel-friendly.
- Silicone is waterproof, opening your world to exciting bath and shower play.
Cons:
- It might be too tight for extra-girthy guys.
- Pube trapping can be painful.
5. Lovense Gush 2: Best Vibrations!
Why we love Lovense Gush 2:
Lovense Gush 2 is a sleeve featuring a powerful motor with ten vibration patterns and three intensity levels, making it a good match for those who want a lot of stimulation. Besides the variety, we enjoyed the punchy rumbles that added some spice to our solo masturbation sessions.
The powerful motor churns out some of the most powerful vibrations we’ve experienced for such a small toy. While people with lower or reduced sensitivity might need more stimulation to orgasm, sensitive folks will have a higher chance of climaxing with Gush 2.
Something else that stood out was the versatile design, which meant I could either stroke my penis with the glans massager or leave it on the shaft for hands-free fun. It even has two rubber bands that you can use for a tighter fit. The stroking is more exciting, but the hands-free option is great, especially for people with erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s Disease.
We also found that the shaft-wrapping design has flexible wings that make it easy to use even if you don’t have the most sex toy experience. The flexible wings’ build also means the sex toy can accommodate different penis sizes.
Lovense Gush 2 also has a serrated canal texture (image above) with a series of gentle ridges for amplified sensations. The lube-trapping surface made the stroking action more pleasurable.
Away from the solo button interface on the massager, it’s compatible with the Lovense mobile app, opening your world to new possibilities. The smartphone application simplifies close-range and long-distance control. It also offers more vibration combinations, sound-activated rumbles, and music sync.
Pro Tip: I recommend placing it on your penis’ head for targeted sensations on the tip and frenulum. In addition, the slap-bracelet design means a gap is left between both ends. Use lots of lube and manually get your penis skin off the gap to avoid painful pinching.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Unlike regular sleeves, you can’t use the Lovense Gush 2 during sex. It’s more of a self-pleasuring sex aid and not a sheath you can use during penetrative sex. And even with the strong vibrations, you have to manually stroke the male vibrator to get the ‘cream-of-the-crop’ kind of sensations.
Why Lovense Gush 2 has the most effective vibrations:
The reviewers gave Lovense Gush 2 maximum points for the most stimulation. The versatile masturbator has a powerful motor with up to ten patterns and three intensity levels, making up an exciting range of vibration combinations. With impressive features like Lovense mobile app compatibility, flexible design to fit most sizes, and textured canal, there’s no doubt this masturbation sleeve deserves its spot.
Another positive feature was the open design that made the device a good fit for people with erectile dysfunction. The masturbator is heavy, so you might have to hold it in your hands as your member rises from the rumbles.
Lastly, the non-stroking-type design makes the toy favorable for people with mobility issues. And especially if you have a sensitive member that doesn’t need stroking to orgasm.
If you want to see what Lovense Gush 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
- Material: Silicone
- Length: 3.39″
- Width: 2.05″
Pros:
- A well-made male toy with numerous vibration combinations.
- The flexible design will fit most sizes.
- You can use it hands-free or use your hands for manual stroking.
- Simplified single-button interface.
- It’s compatible with the Lovense mobile app.
- An ideal toy for long-distance couples.
- You can also use it on a flaccid penis.
Cons:
- You can’t use the masturbator during penetrative sex.
- It’s expensive – ($99 – $199).
Other Good Alternatives
The Perfect Fit Fat Boy is our recommendation for girth-loving couples. The realistic-looking cock sheath adds an extra inch to your penis’s girth, making for the perfect pussy or anal stretching experience. While there are other girth-adding products on the market, our testers thought that Fit Fat Boy had the optimal balance between comfort, size, and ease of use.
OptiMALE penis extender is perfect if you want the complete package, as it adds an inch of girth and about half of that in usable length. It wasn’t the highest-rated in either category (it was beaten by both Mega Might and Fit Fat Boy above), but it was the best-performing model when you combine the two. It accomplished this feat mainly because it was made from Ultraskin TPE, an exceedingly squishy material that felt great for both the wearer and the receiver. Besides adding length and girth, OptiMALE helps to reduce sensitivity, ultimately prolonging ejaculation for an extended and satisfying lovemaking session. Again, Colossus above did an overall better job, BUT OptiMALE is good enough if you want the extra length and girth.
If you’re looking for the most textured penis extender, you should check out Renegade 2 Extra Inches Ribbed. Our testers reported that the shaft was laced with pleasurable bumps and nodules that felt pleasurable for both partners. The smooth yet stubborn nubs add extra stimulation while helping reduce sensitivity and prolong your penetrative sex experience.
What Is a Penis Sleeve?
A penis sleeve, or cock sleeve, is a sex toy worn on your penis to give you a few extra inches in penis length and girth, similar to a thick condom [2]. Some models feature bumps and ridges on the sides to heighten the degree of the sensations. They also come in various sizes and textures that can be quite stimulating for your partner during sexual intercourse.
How to Use a Penis Sleeve?
Penis sleeves can be overwhelming, especially if you’re a first-time user. I like to call penis enhancers a “strap-on dildo for guys.” The difference is that you don’t need a harness or belt to hold it in place.
- First off, how should I put on the cock sleeve? I recommend doing it with an erect or semi-erect penis to ensure the best fit. For a silicone penis sleeve, you can place it in warm water before putting it on to bring it closer to your body temperature, which will make it more comfortable for both you and your partner. Silicone also warms and retains body heat, so you don’t have to worry about the temperatures dropping in the middle of the sex act.
- Lube must be your close friend. Use plenty of water-based lube on your penis before sliding it in and on the sleeve before penetration. The lube makes it easier to slide it on, and it also reduces friction during intercourse.
- If your model is closed at the top end, squeeze it to remove trapped air to ensure it fits your entire penis securely. (It’s similar to when you’re putting on a condom). Then push your penis inside as far as it can go.
- Next, gently push your scrotum through the ball strap if your penis sleeve has one. Push one at a time and make sure the testicles rest comfortably inside. Viola, you are now ready for liftoff!
Note: You can use the penis sleeve with or without a condom.
