Build
The holder is a black hard-plastic cradle with cutouts down its length. It attaches the same way as the Solace Pro’s stock sleeve holder and clicks into place. Setup took me a few seconds, and after 10+ sessions it showed no cracks or loosening.
The band is a wide strip of hook-and-loop that wraps around whatever sits in the holder. With a soft sleeve, pulling it tighter squeezes the sleeve and changes the fit. With anything in a solid outer case, it just keeps the stroker in place.
The included sleeve is clear TPE, the same material Lovense uses for its other sleeves. Its outer wall is a frame of ribs and recessed windows, which is what gives the band something to compress. Inside, it is a little more textured than the stock Solace Pro sleeve, but it is not why you buy the kit.

Performance
Lovense says the kit pairs the Solace Pro with “almost any sleeve.” For conventional shapes, that held up. Standard sleeves, Fleshlights and plastic tube-style strokers all sat securely in the holder and worked very well.
Tenga’s Flip line was the exception. The Flip Zero and Tenga 360 use pressure pads, and that shape makes them hard to strap down properly. Neither worked well.
The best setup I found was a full Lovense Max 2 strapped into the holder, which pairs the Solace Pro’s thrusting with the Max 2’s contractions. The Max 2 is heavy compared to most strokers, so I never ran the Solace Pro at full speed with it attached.
The kit’s own sleeve was a clear step up from the stock sleeve, and the band let me adjust it in seconds. Even fully cinched, it never got very tight. If you want a firm grip, use a stroker that brings its own.
I used the kit on the Solace Pro’s included desk mount for every session. Nothing shifted or worked loose.
Right fit if
You own a Solace Pro and other strokers you want to use with it, you have a Lovense Max 2, or the stock sleeve is the part of the Solace Pro you like least.
Wrong fit if
You don’t own a Solace Pro, your collection is mostly Tenga Flip-style strokers, or you want a very tight sleeve straight out of the box.
Cleaning
The grip sleeve is shorter than the stock Solace Pro sleeve and open at both ends, so water runs straight through instead of pooling at a closed end. That made it noticeably easier to clean and dry than the stock sleeve. The holder unclips in a second and goes straight under the tap.
The routine I actually use
- STEP 1Unclip the holderIt comes off the Solace Pro the same way it went on.
- STEP 2Rinse the sleeve throughWith both ends open, warm water flushes straight through the channel.
- STEP 3Rinse the holderIt is hard plastic, so a rinse under the tap is all it needs.
- STEP 4Air dry before storingLet the sleeve dry fully before it goes away. The open end means it dries faster than a closed sleeve.
Pros & Cons
What works
- Runs Fleshlights, standard sleeves and tube strokersAnything with a conventional shape sat securely and worked very well.
- Clicks on in secondsIt attaches exactly like the Solace Pro’s stock sleeve holder. No tools, no learning curve.
- Open-ended sleeve rinses straight throughShorter than the stock sleeve and open at both ends, so it cleans and dries faster.
- Holds a full Lovense Max 2Solace Pro thrusting plus Max 2 contractions was the best setup I tested.
What doesn’t
- Tenga Flip-style strokers don’t strap downThe pressure-pad design of the Flip Zero and Tenga 360 makes them hard to secure.
- The included sleeve never gets very tightEven with the band fully cinched, the grip stays moderate.
- Heavy strokers need lower speedsWith a Max 2 mounted, I kept the Solace Pro well below full speed.

Asked by you
Does it work with Fleshlights?
Yes. Fleshlights, standard sleeves and plastic tube-style strokers all sat securely in the holder and worked very well in my testing.
Does it work with the Tenga Flip Zero or Tenga 360?
Not well. Both use pressure pads, and that design makes them hard to strap into the holder securely.
Can you mount a Lovense Max 2 in it?
Yes, and it was the best setup I tested. The Max 2 is heavy, so I kept the Solace Pro at low speed with a short-to-medium stroke, which also let the contractions do more of the work.
Is it worth it if you only use the included sleeve?
The sleeve is a small upgrade over the stock one, but it isn’t the main reason to buy. The holder is, because it lets the Solace Pro run strokers you already own. For the price, I’d buy it for the holder alone.
