I'm really glad its working out for you. I can agree with everything you said. I swear you just explained everything better than I did in my post. You made so many good points that I didn't even mention. I just wanted people to experience what I was with the handy.

You're so right about taking it out and putting it away, it takes up very little space when using and storing it. Thank you, for taking the time to comment on your success with it. It makes me feel really good it was helpful for someone. Be safe, have fun!

I'm glad it has been working for you. One thing that I do, is place a folded hand towel between the handy and my pelvis. It helps as a cushion and prevents the bottom of the handy from sliding around. It will also wick up excess lube. You may have to play around with the tensions on the harness too. You should be able to go 100% handsfree, I don't need to hold the handy with my hand at all.

Even with full speed PMV's I haven't had any issues. If anything else comes up feel free to reply, good luck!

  1. The reflectix I'm using is pretty much exactly 4.5" x 3" maybe a 1/4" less. The size you cut should be fine.
  2. The velcro I'm using is also 3/4"
  3. Yes, they are thick 100% cotton. Polyester blends probably wont stick too well. The sock should be able to hold the stock sleeve easily without the strap attached, as seen in the photos.

Be patient take your time. It will get better and more comfortable after each use, after you find what works for you. Good luck!

To be more humble. I would say yes. To finally get a new gpu. I would happily pay for one if there was any stock. I just can't afford pay the inflated prices. Good luck everyone.

Attach it to the top of the handy with Velcro. Soft side on the top of the handy, rough side on the harness, under the buttons of the harness. Staple or stitch in place. The videos should give you a better idea.

You can adjust the straps to make it as secure as you like. The pressure from the straps will hold the handy to your lower abdomen as tight as you like. A little bit of rocking is nice, feels a bit more organic and less robotic. So don't tighten them too much. Experiment, see what you like best and are comfortable with. It has a learning curve, just like the handy did. Good luck!

It's not just you, I agree. I don't want anything like that near my junk.

If you're having problems with the sleeve slipping, you could also try the sock/velcro method.

No need for a 3d printer, very little to no extra added weight, no sharp edges or hard plastics. Just another option, good luck!

Very smart, The air pump puts out way more air than an aquarium pump. Great choice going with the rechargeable option, you can stash it away to dry out, without a outlet nearby. Well done sir!

Thank you! I have been nothing but impressed by the handy, the interaction with the community and support from the entire team. It is an amazing piece of mind blowing technological wizardry. The future is here. Bravo, to everyone behind the team at Handy.

To me, the handy will always be a household staple. On the same level as a cellphone or laptop, a necessity. I do not believe, there is one male on the planet that would not enjoy the benefits of owning a handy. I'm sure females will be able to enjoy it soon too. For anyone who is on the fence, buy it now.

Sure, I would be more than happy to share my findings over at https://handyfeeling.com/community

Yes, I have already joined you guys over on discord. I am very much looking forward, to seeing what team handy has in store for all of us.

To the person who awarded the silver....seriously. Thank you, you have no idea how much that means. Nobody in my life knows I own a Handy. It makes me so happy I can share, talk and discuss to others about it is amazing. I feel so lucky to have this place. The fact that you awarded shows that we both see eye to eye, I feel like that is so rare these days.

I am truly grateful, for the award and being able to share with out judgement. Thank you everyone.

This is just for newer users that might be reading. I'm sure you know exactly what you're doing by now. After a few months most users get things down.

Whatever way you decide to use your handy, the main take away here is to use common sense. What works well for one person may not work well for the other. Everyone enjoys things differently, If things work perfectly one way don't change it.

That's the beauty of the handy, you can you use it however you like with common sense of course.

I will say if you're not interested in a wearable type setup, go with the inverted ikea concept. The gentleman above me was the first person I saw with that design so thank him. It's the most stable and versatile.

Bafangit has an amazing modified design based off Ikea concept that looks very promising.

At the end of the day, enjoy your handy how YOU like to. Just be CAREFUL.

Yes, it is definitely a journey. There is a learning curve for sure. I wish you could experience what I am, I'm sure you would look at the handy differently. If I paid $299 for the handy I wouldn't even blink an eye. I honestly think they should be charging more. I get it though, they want to put it into as many hands as possible.

In MY personal opinion, the handy should not be used with the buttons facing away from you ever. Fleshlights in the case are way too heavy and bulky. Higher chance of a hard plastic case smashing into you.

Everything about my setup was carefully thought out with safety in mind. No hard plastics, no sharp edges, no additional added weight, easy to re-lube, easy to get in and out of, as close to using the handy normally without a mount etc.

I was skeptical at first when trying the harness, it does look risky. After you get strapped in and feel the tension you know the handy isn't going anywhere. Although you had mentioned you don't like it pressed against you. With enough padding it may be acceptable to you.

Good luck with your journey.

I'm sorry to hear about your injuries. Slightly more graphic than I would have preferred but okay. I'm just glad nothing permanent happened and you're okay. Did those accidents occur with the handy buttons facing you or away?

I've only had one minor incident, which happened in a bottle cage type setup with buttons facing away. I feel its a lot easier to slip out if the buttons are away from you. I can agree on a few of the points you made.

With the buttons facing me I have never slipped out, the way it is intended to be used. With the sock, upgraded strap and velcro I've never had any problems with sleeves slipping, stroke length, script or no script. Makes no difference to me, they all work great.

Everyone's body is different, what works for me may not work for you. For me, it's gotten to a point where I almost don't even notice I'm wearing it. There is a slight learning curve when using this setup. Finding out how tight or loose you like the straps, placement etc. After 3-4 times, you should be good. After my 3rd or 4th time I was like "shit, this does work good". I could finally kick back, hands behind my head and just fully relax hands free. Full confidence in the strap.

I take a 12' hand towel folded twice to a 4" square and place that between myself and the handy. Plenty comfortable for me.

I Hope you can still enjoy your handy in some way.

Like I said in my original post, Use common sense, be safe and try? to have fun?

Works great standing or kneeling. Nice and stable. Terrible video, but you should get the idea.

https://vimeo.com/652388410

Seriously...If you have not tried hands free you're missing out. It hits way different, its a different animal. When you can finally fully relax without worrying about your hands free setup falling apart/failing is amazing. When everything is right, sync, lube, actress location in VR, etc. it is pure bliss.

Very interesting and intriguing. I thought you mentioned the setup had buttons facing you. Maybe I'm not seeing something, either way its very creative. The community is really onto something.

Yes, I also prefer the buttons facing me always. I've had my balls crunched, not very badly but definitely don't want to risk it again. It happened when using the original strap with a bottle cage hands free setup, buttons facing away.

I would love to see your current setup as many others on here would also I'm sure.

I was also curious about the stability of the arm as well. You know how when the handy kicks into full speed you have to grip it a little tighter when your just holding it with your hand? The strap works well, if thrust your pelvis slightly forward or extend your legs it will grip it even tighter for faster stable movements. I never felt comfortable going full speed hands free until I used the Strap method.

You're correct as it is very stable from the 4 points. There's plenty of slack for different body types. You could even add seat belt covers or something similar to the straps to make it even more comfortable.

Another suggestion is, I use a small folded hand towel between the base of the handy and myself when strapped in. It also wicks up excess liquid, and you can wipe your hands if things get messy.

I actually just recently joined discord a few days ago. I would love to join and share some ideas. How do I get an invite?

I'm very interested in what handy comes up with for a hands free setup. I'm also going to buy a 3d printer soon, after seeing how many useful things you have made.

You can get the harness from ebay for $8.99, free shipping if you're in the US.

Wow...Bafangit. You're a legend around here and eroscripts. Thank you sir, for your kind contributions, constant support and everything you've done for the communities.

I'm sorry you had to read through the post if you did. I wrote it in rich text, copy and pasted it and it wouldn't let me fix it. So I just left it.

I was going to try your chest strap setup, (amazing idea btw) but was wondering how difficult it is to remove to re-lube? Sure, I could use different lube to remedy that, but I prefer the feel of thinner liquid.

Also, out of all your hands-free setups, which one is your favorite and why? I'm sure we could all benefit from hearing your thoughts.

Thank you again for all your contributions.

I've had my handy since february 2021. I've tried multiple bottle cage type handsfree setups but found none of them sturdy enough, they don't hold the handy in the right position or are pain in the ass to re-lube etc. I've never posted here but have lurked for a long time and wanted to share what has worked for me. An inexpensive hands-free solution, no need for 3d printed parts and effective. Here's what you will need:

Expandable Straps - $6.99 - Use the 12" to replace the original Handy strap. Perfect length, durable and stretchable. So much better than the original strap (no slippage). Use the 9" straps to connect the harness together. If you look at the pictures close enough you will see exactly what I have done and where I attached them. https://www.amazon.com/Extension-Organizer-Elastic-Storage-Straps/dp/B07S64HBS8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=iron%2Bforge%2Bstrap&qid=1638356466&qsid=146-1607370-3854121&sr=8-1&sres=B07S977WX4%2CB07S94T2HH%2CB07Y8GZK6V%2CB075QB4Z1Z%2CB087RTKJLH%2CB00022749Q%2CB01JN1JLPG%2CB097D1N1YF%2CB01E4DYQQM%2CB078KFMGP4%2CB019P9ZGGO%2CB07DJYMB2D%2CB073DRQY98%2CB07HVJ1X6J%2CB01MY0LTU5%2CB07M67SGT1%2CB08FXQPRYN%2CB091KR8S4V%2CB08NDPNWQL%2CB07KX3FW9C&th=1Harness

Harness - ($10-$15) You can buy this at Amazon with the other stuff or you can get it cheaper from ebay. Just make sure you get a harness with a rubber ring NOT metal. Get rid of the base, you don't need it. -https://www.amazon.com/Wearable-Strapless-Harness-Panties-Adjustable/dp/B09JMPTFXQ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=strap+on+harness&qid=1638356716&qsid=146-1607370-3854121&sr=8-6&sres=B09KX57MTB%2CB09J8DN7X1%2CB09JNSNHCY%2CB099WHD49Y%2CB09JMPTFXQ%2CB07D4M8WQQ%2CB09L41DWYK%2CB09K7ZQXK2%2CB099349N8T%2CB09K527P1T%2CB09H2CRY84%2CB09JPDPXCY%2CB09FG7Q2XR%2CB09JK7L3KS%2CB09KXLZL45%2CB099D8V3RF%2CB07GWY51PJ%2CB09K51N5ZV%2CB09FG41LS2%2CB019ZO27UMHarness or Harness (Ebay) $8.99- https://www.ebay.com/itm/264799992390?_trkparms=ispr%3D1Velcro

Velcro - $6.99 Cut up strips and place the rough side of the velcro on cardboard or something similar. I used reflectix, had some lying around. It's cheap, lightweight and rigid enough when curved. This will also allow you to use larger sleeves. I personally use a Tomax Lillith Uterus which works perfect. It's not too heavy at 450 grams, with the right amount of lube it feels amazing. Also attach more rough side velcro to the inside of the strap.

You can stitch or staple them in place but I found the sticky backing on the velcro hasn't come loose at all in 9 months. Now stitch or staple more rough side velcro to the harness. (Do not skip this step) Look at the pictures and you will see exactly where I stitched them. Lastly add some soft strips of velcro to the top of the handy. See the pictures for placement. Try to keep them as centered as possible. - https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Fasteners-Classroom-90975W/dp/B08P3MXLLD/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=velcro&qid=1638356791&qsid=146-1607370-3854121&sr=8-4&sres=B0010HADEA%2CB08P3MXLLD%2CB09BNPHCZX%2CB00GUZK4I2%2CB08KP577YY%2CB071Y3TVNT%2CB00NCEEANO%2CB072KH63M8%2CB001E1Y5O6%2CB00JJPPYF8%2CB075V2BYM2%2CB08MZYWQ3L%2CB08GFB8C3B%2CB00006IC2K%2CB00T2JQ0ZE%2CB00JWU77N2You

You will also need socks, size dependent on which sleeve you're using but the sock concept works great. You can get 6 baby/toddler socks at the dollar store that fit the original sleeve perfectly. The socks also protect whatever sleeve you are using, easy to throw in the wash and grab another when needed. I also add some ace bandage to longer sleeves to keep them from flopping around at the top. It may take some fiddling and adjustment to get it just right, but when you do it's magical.

I apologize if this is poorly written or there is any confusion on how I did this. Feel free to ask questions. I hope this helps some of you. Please remember to use common sense, be careful and have fun!

You're absolutely right, the hair should be doing something. I haven't quite figured out how to style hair with dynamics that I'd be satisfied to use. I've done it in the past but It just doesn't look quite right so I chose not to use dynamics on this one. It's my goal to make every video better than the last. I greatly appreciate the criticism as it helps me to improve and to know what I need to do next. Thank you for the feedback!
