Default Rubber grip covers

Do many use the rubber pull-on’s grip covers? If so what’s the major benefit? Seems like they would be a pain to get on?
My interest is the added size.

ahahahaha.

ya, they are great. i use 5/8 tubes, add the cover and its almost an inch. i feel like it adds more control to your fingertips and reduces hand fatigue. they arent that hard to get on. love it.

They reduce vibration, enlarges the grip without adding to much weight. Nice soft grip. I don´t use stainless without rubber grips. They are a bit hard to get on in the begining but you´ll learn. Just spray the inside with some alcohol/green soap mix and place the tube with the backstem to a hard surface and slip it on. If you soak the whole combo afterwards its easier to get the cover of.

Dettol helps them pop on easy too.

I spray my green soap mixture on the barrier, dip my gloved finger in it, rub it on the backside inside diameter of the hollowed out dildo, slides on effortlessly.

i soak them in hot water for a few minutes, it softens them up a little so they stretch over the grip easily.

You can use radiator hose as well for grips. They are made to hold up to high temperatures and high pressure. Not as spongy, but they will outlast Red rats.
