The Handy Starter Bundle (Accessories) – Gen 2 sleeves + TrueGrip PRO Band (device not included)
The Handy Starter Bundle is a straightforward accessories-only pack for people who already own The Handy and want a cleaner, more dialled-in setup. You get two TrueGrip™ Gen 2 Sleeves and one TrueGrip PRO Band—the essentials that tend to make the whole routine feel more consistent.
Quick clarity before anything else: this bundle does not include The Handy device. It’s a Starter Bundle for The Handy in the literal sense: sleeves + band, ready to pair with your machine.
What’s included
- 2× TrueGrip™ Gen 2 Sleeve
- 1× TrueGrip PRO Band
If you want a practical Handy accessories upgrade kit (spare sleeve + better grip control), this is the sensible add-on.
Why this bundle works so well for most owners
There are two real-world wins here:
1) Two sleeves = less waiting, less fuss. Having a second sleeve sounds simple, but it changes the rhythm. One can be drying while the other is ready. It’s also just easier to stay on top of hygiene without feeling like you’re constantly doing chores.
2) The PRO Band gives you better control over fit and pressure. The TrueGrip PRO Band is designed to hold your sleeve securely and let you set the pressure you actually want. That matters if you’ve ever had a sleeve shift, loosen, or need mid-session readjusting.
The Gen 2 sleeves are a step up from the Original TrueGrip design, with changes that are easy to appreciate: extended length, a thicker opening, and a textured exterior for a more secure hold. You can also flip the sleeve inside-out for a different feel, without buying a different sleeve.
Design, materials, and build quality
TrueGrip™ Gen 2 Sleeves (x2)
The TrueGrip Gen 2 sleeves are made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and are listed as close-ended.
Official specs (per sleeve)
- Material: TPE
- Length: 130–140mm (5.1″–5.5″)
- Weight: 130g
- Diameter range: 21–90mm (0.8″–3.5″)
What’s different vs the Original TrueGrip sleeve
- 20mm longer than the TrueGrip Original (so it reaches further down toward the base)
- Thicker lip / thicker opening
- Textured exterior for enhanced grip
- Can be flipped inside-out for a different sensation
It’s a “small changes, big payoff” kind of upgrade—especially if you like a setup that stays stable once you’ve got it where you want it.
TrueGrip PRO Band (x1)
The PRO Band is an upgrade to the original TrueGrip band design, aimed at stability and adjustability.
Official specs
- Length: 29cm
- Width: 4.5cm
- Materials: Velcro, Elastic, Silicone, Leatherette
- Adjustable diameter: approx. 4cm to 7.5cm (unstretched)
- 20mm longer than the previous design / TrueGrip Band
The band uses elastic fabric, an anti-slip silicone pattern on the inner face, and Velcro fastening along the length for quick fitting. It’s built to hold the sleeve securely and help you find that “right” pressure without constant tweaking.
Functionality, use, and compatibility
This is an accessories bundle for The Handy device. The sleeves and PRO Band are designed to work with The Handy’s TrueGrip system, but the sleeves also offer flexibility outside the machine.
A few points buyers usually care about:
- Stability and grip: The Gen 2 sleeve’s textured exterior and thicker opening are designed for a more secure hold, while the PRO Band is meant to keep things seated and stable.
- Manual use is an option: The Gen 2 sleeve is designed to offer expanded possibilities even when used independently of The Handy, and the longer design allows a comfortable double-handed grip.
- Lubricant: For optimal performance, a water-based lubricant is recommended.
Cleaning and care
- Gen 2 sleeves: Clean directly after use with soap and water. Dry with a towel or let it dry naturally on a clean surface, then place it back in the shell when dry.
- PRO Band: Clean with cold water and soap. Hand wash only. Let it air dry, and don’t put it in a dryer.
Who this Starter Bundle is best suited for
This bundle tends to be the right fit if:
- You already own The Handy and want a tidy, practical Handy starter accessories refresh.
- You like the idea of a TrueGrip Gen 2 sleeve bundle so you can rotate sleeves easily.
- You’ve been chasing a more consistent fit—less shifting, fewer interruptions.
- You want an upgrade that’s still simple: two sleeves + a better band, done.
It’s not the right pick if you’re expecting an all-in-one pack with the device inside the box. This is The Handy bundle for accessories—no machine included.
