Product Reviews Please: AutoXsleeve

**Padawan787** · 08-09-2012

So, after reading Pirate's log and reading this thread i'll be getting an Xleeve in October, I plan on using it in conjunction with hanging. I'll hang in the morning and then wear the Xleeve in the afternoon or the evening.

I have a few questions regarding the order though, I plan on getting the bronze pack for 90$, this is what the pack contains:

Which 3 sleeves should I pick?

Also, are the stealth caps and the vacX 3 caps sufficient? or should I get the silver pack in order to get the 9 and 14 ounce weighted caps?

Final question, has anyone had problems with the company? their site is crap and there are spelling mistakes everywhere, these are huge red-flags for me, i'm not particularly comfortable with giving them my credit card number

Has anyone tried just a silicone tube, I just ordered one from Ebay. The front is the same as the back, so it's just a plain looking 6 inch silicone tube. Does anyone think this will work? And do you guys think this will give me gains by itself?

I have not had trouble with the site that wasn't easily addressed with an email or two.
I don't remember what all is in each "pack" but I started with a pretty basic one that had the stealth cap, a sleeve or two, and some tape. and that gave me plenty to experiment with for a long time.
Recently, I ordered new sleeves and the 14 ounce steel cap. I wouldn't bother with the 9 ounce cap unless you felt compelled to stay with the soft sleeve.
My next order will be all about the firmer sleeve.

I doubt that will do you any good without some sort of cap. Sorry!
Yarrr!

I use the sleeve alone after finishing an exercise (pumping or extending) to insure the healing process occurs in an elongated state.

And that works for you?
Cool!
Do you slide the sleeve all the way behind the glans?

Not2big, you have shown the same results for a long time. Have you gained anything since then??? Anything work??? Pirate, how bout you any progress within the past 3 years?? And for both of you, which has worked the best???

I must confess that I have not measured in over a year.
I experiences early gains from simple manual stretches and jelqs. I also spent about a year hanging and got some additional small gains.
Since then, I really can't say.
Keep in mind that my main objective is great EQ.

I usually take a careful "formal" measurement every 6 months. Unofficially, i believe my length is up to 5-3/8" NBPEL or 6-3/8" BPEL. Girth is still the same.

When putting the blue Autoextender sleeve on, I roll it up, stretch it out with three fingers of each hand, place the top edge about 1/2 inch below the corona, and roll it down towards the base. The corona usually turtles down to the upper edge of the sleeve; however, I sometimes put on the Vacextender cap and sleeve to maintain the 1/2" Distance between the corona and sleeve.

I have my own pool, so I usually go swimming with the sleeve on. Makes a nice bulge in a wet bathing suite.

I have been experimenting with the different "hardness" xleeve options. I was disappointed in how quickly I got a small tear in the "Hard" sleeve. Maybe I just got a bad one but, for now, I am back to using a "Soft" one.

I have some concerns that daily use of a constricting tube like the xleeve may lead to some muscle atrophy.
