How do I choose the right sleeve size?

Measure both length and girth when erect to find the right fit. The sleeve should feel secure without being constricting. If you’re unsure, start with a stretchy, open-ended style—these typically accommodate a wider range of sizes and feel comfortable for most beginners.

Are they safe to use?

Yes—when used correctly. Look for body-safe materials like silicone, TPE, or elastomer. Make sure the fit isn’t too tight, always use adequate lubricant, and clean the sleeve thoroughly before and after each use. If discomfort occurs, remove it immediately.

Do all sleeves feel natural for the receiving partner?

Different designs offer different sensations. Ultra-soft silicone sleeves can feel more natural, while textured or firmer styles create amplified sensations. The most “natural-feeling” option depends on personal preference, material softness, and internal design.

Penis Extenders Explained: Tips, Benefits and Best Ways to Use Them

Penis extenders and prosthetic penis attachments are useful tools for anyone who wants to explore size play, enhance sensation or find support during erectile difficulties. These toys slide over the penis to add length, girth or firmness and can help create a more satisfying experience for both partners. Below is your easy guide to understanding how these products work and how to choose the right one for your needs.

What Are Penis Extenders?

Penis extenders are hollow sleeves shaped like a penis that fit over an already erect penis. They are usually made from soft, flexible materials such as Cyberskin or jelly that cling closely to the body to help prevent slipping. Most extenders have a solid tip and a hollow interior.

To use one, add a small amount of water based lubricant inside the extender, then slide it onto the penis until the solid end sits comfortably against the head. Many users enjoy the added length and fullness these toys provide. A popular example is our Three Extra Inches extender.

What Are Prosthetic Penis Attachments (PPAs)?

PPAs are also hollow but are designed for people who want the feel and function of an erection without needing their own penis to be firm. The soft penis rests inside the hollow shaft while the PPA straps securely to the body.

These toys are particularly helpful for men who experience erectile dysfunction, since they support thrusting, motion and intimacy even without a natural erection.

Common Questions About Extenders and PPAs

Should I use lubricant?

Yes. Lubricant increases comfort and reduces friction during penetration. Choose a water based lube unless your extender’s material specifies otherwise.

How do I put on an extender?

Apply a small amount of water based lubricant to your penis and inside the toy. Slide it on until the head is close to the solid tip without pressing uncomfortably. Adjust slowly until it feels secure.

What if the extender is too long?

You can trim a soft extender easily. Put it on, mark where you want it to end, remove it and cut carefully with strong scissors. If the toy includes a testicle strap, remove that part before trimming.

Can it slip off during sex?

A well fitted extender or PPA should stay in place. If you are worried, use a harness for extra support.

Can I use an extender without an erection?

Some users report success with specific models, but extenders are created for erect use. A PPA is a better choice if you want reliable performance without an erection.

How do I increase penis size without toys?

Pumps and erection rings can temporarily increase size and stamina, although results are not permanent. For more guidance, explore MyPleasure’s detailed articles on penis pumps and erection rings.

What if I have erectile dysfunction?

Pumps can support achieving an erection and rings can help maintain one. Many people also use PPAs to enjoy penetrative sex when an erection is difficult.
