Has anyone found an alternative to the silicone sleeves that LG hanger sell directly?

[rjlljr]

I am having an issue finding the right replacement for my LG Hanger.

I have tried a couple other sleeves from eBay and while they get the job done, the blue sleeve that LG sells is better.

My issue is how much the company is charging for it. $28 plus $8.95 shipping is highway robbery.

I know that they buy it in bulk somewhere and are ripping us off. I already spent $400+ on your kit, don't screw me when I need new sleeves...

Anyway, has anyone either found a good alternative or even better the source of where LG Hanger buy their sleeves?

Following. I just bought the LG hanger a few weeks ago. Had no idea the sleeves were that much. How often can one expect to have to buy new ones?

Everything LG sells is stupid expensive. Dude must be greedy as hell. M*****s of S*ze has their own sleeves now and they seem pretty comparable in quality but they're a little more reasonably priced. I haven't tried them yet but next time I buy sleeves that's what I'm getting.

 

[rjlljr]

I will look into M*****s of S*ze. Anyone else?

@DeMi-GoD, I have found that with regular use, changing the sleeve about every month on average is necessary.

Hmm, I might give these a try, they have a .75 diameter size which might prevent me from slipping like I was with my current LG .875 sleeve. Plus it is $10 cheaper. The real question is how durable they are.

LG doesn't buy their sleeves in bulk, they make them. The reason they started making them was for quality reasons. The bulk sleeves had tiny air bubbles within the silicone, would tear easily, inconsistent durometer hardness and who knows what grade of silicone they were made of. The LG sleeves are made of medical grade silicone, cured in a vacuum to remove air bubbles and control durometer hardness and last longer. Having the correct durometer hardness is also important. If it's too soft and stretchy it's not going to grip and hold the shaft in place as well which could result in slipping. If it's too hard there can be problems wit it making a good seal on the shaft. The other thing to consider is that the LG sleeve is long enough to be cut in half to make 2 of them. So if you want to compare price between the LG sleeve and the others you will probably need to purchase 2 of the others to equal what you will get with the LG sleeve.

I have a couple of silicone sleeves that I purchased before I started hanging. the durometer hardness of them is far too soft to use on the LG hanger. As I was responding to this thread I decided to take one out to look at the air bubbles in it again. As I was stretching it out to look at them it tore right up the middle. I'll stick with the LG sleeve for safety reasons.

The LG sleeves have lasted me more than 6 months and as I mentioned above the sleeve is long enough to make 2 so it's not a big yearly investment for something that's safe, designed and made just for hanging with the LG.

So do you work for LG or something? Because you are constantly shilling for them. All that crap you just said was just marketing fluff for charging a ridiculously high price. I know their sleeves are good but they aren't the only ones that know how to make a good sleeve.

Mos waited years to come out with their sleeves and caps because they wanted them to be high quality like LG's but at a lower price. I know it sounds like I'm shilling for Mos now but I'm just sick of LG and their greedy prices. They've been that way for years.

Nope, just my 2 cents from almost 6 years of hanging experience. I'm just pointing out that it can be risky trying to replace it with something cheap. Do you even own an LG hanger or sleeve? You can buy what ever you want. Don't forget, you will need to buy 2 to equal the size of the LG sleeve.

One month seems like a very short period of time between sleeve changes. What's the reason for the frequent changing?

I don't own an LG hanger but I have been using their sleeves for a while and I'm tired of paying their prices. I even emailed them asking if I could get a slight discount if I bought four or five sleeves at once and they said no. They do have a shipping discount if you buy more than one but they front load that with the initial $10 to ship just one sleeve.

And you don't have to buy two Mos sleeves to make one LG. They have a 5.75 inch sleeve and a shorter 3 inch sleeve, both with different diameters.

OK...your using it for another purpose. You probably should look around for a lower cost sleeve to fit your needs. My reply was for the OP about sleeves to be used on the LG hanger. The LG hanger only requires 4 inches of sleeve so you cut the 8 inch LG sleeve in half and you end up with 2 sleeves that. Other sleeves are not that long so you can't cut them in half and will need to buy 2 of them to equal the 2 you get out of single the LG sleeve. If the sleeve is being used for another purpose that require more than 4 inches then the LG is a bit pricey for ending up with only 1 sleeve.

I can understand your point of view. My point of view is coming from the fact that I am currently bundle hanging 1 - 1 1/2 turns at 15 lbs. Having the right sleeve is important to me. Anyways you gave your point of view and I gave mine. The OP is asking anyone who is using the LG if they have found an alternative sleeve. Lets drop our debate to let this thread can get back on topic.

My sleeve seemed to only lasted about a week before it seemed to overstretch. I started slipping and could hear the squeaking of the air escaping the chamber through the sleeve. That had never happened before.

Bought these a few months ago because I was looking for a cheaper option (i agree the price LG charges is way too expensive):

< no commercial website links allowed>

At first when I received them i was a bit disappoined because they are softer than the lg ones, but when I tried them I was very pleased : I had much less swelling problems than with the LG ones.

For me they are perfect

 

[tomasssss]

ok, the link was removed. I found them on ebay, i think they are better than the lg ones. If you are interested you will find them writing this : " 2 silicone sleeves for penis enlargement" (those from poland : "top quality silicon sleeves 2 pcs"). I'm not doing any publicity, just trying to help

This is a very helpful reply for the OP. Unfortunately links to commercial websites are not allowed on the forum and that's reason why it was removed.

I praise the LG Hanger and all products from them as well. The reason being that it truly changed the game for me. I have been doing PE for 5 years now and I probably would've quit if I didn't discover the LG in 2016.

I am able to hang 10 to 12 hours per week as a lifestyle because of the quality of the product. The minute it arrives in the mail you can see the quality difference. I don't mind the premium as on a cost per hour basis it is extremely fair relative to any other device I've purchased.
