Stealth Shaft Support Takes Couples’ Play From Flaccid to Fantastic

Stealth Shaft Support Takes Couples’ Play From Flaccid to Fantastic

What’s sneakier than a secret agent and a hotter turn-on than a bare-chested James Bond?

The Stealth Shaft Support, an industry newcomer brand that’s nailing a much-needed niche in the C-ring and ED device market.

My mindset is, if you don’t feel you have anything in common with people, there is the one thing we all do and that is have sex.

Though we admittedly can’t vouch for the universal sex appeal of said womanizing spy, we’re fairly certain the Stealth Shaft Support penis sling will bring the heat for lucky couples everywhere.

Invented by Nanci Smith, a former adult boutique sales associate, the Stealth is so ingenious and yet so delightfully simple that it’s surprising it took this long to be conceived.

Stealth Shaft Support is a wearable, cock cage-type product composed of a smooth, body-safe TPR support sling. It’s built with a so-called “strip” to lift and support his member whether flaccid, semi-erect or fully erect.

The Stealth is easily stretched to fit over the penis while comfortably accommodating the testicles for a sensually light grip that enhances sensations.

“To support the penis, I designed a patent-pending design strip that bends, but never breaks so you can adjust it for comfort,” Smith explains. “The strips stay in and don’t pop out.”

Smith is a woman who clearly knows her penile anatomy. She cleverly placed the support strip on top of the penis, leaving open space for the more sensitive nerve endings on the bottom and allowing for as much skin-to-skin sensation as possible.

Stealth’s TPR body does not roll or shift through even the roughest of play, holding its rigid position without squeezing too tight.

The result is an industry first: a penis sheath that adds only slight girth and provides complete support without obstructing pleasure for either partner.

“As long as the penis head stays inside the top hole, the strips will hold it up for endless pleasure, [and] the consumer is able to be erect in it as well as flaccid,” says Smith.

Stealth Shaft Support is also compatible with condoms, making it a game-changer for a category of men with a totally normal but generally embarrassing problem — staying hard with a rubber on.

The basic Stealth design fits most men reaching 5 to 7 inches in length. The XL version is best for men between 7 to 9 inches, or those with a lot of natural girth. No matter the size, Stealth can be washed and used as often as you’d like a killer erection.

Smith also ensured that not a single penis owner would be left behind.

“The product comes in four colors to blend with as many penises as possible because erectile dysfunction doesn’t discriminate,” says Smith.

Unsurprisingly, Nanci Smith first envisioned the concept behind the Stealth Shaft Support while on shift as a sex toy sales associate.

A mother of four with four grandchildren, Smith and her husband Brian had been married for 29 years. Upon becoming empty-nesters a handful of years back, Smith was seeking a fun and rewarding side gig that fit her jovial, straight-forward nature.

“My mindset is, if you don’t feel you have anything in common with people, there is the one thing we all do and that is have sex,” she muses.

“A friend of mine managed an adult toy retail store and it got me to thinking how much fun it would be to work there every day,” Smith recalls. “I worked there for almost five loving years helping people have their most orgasmic experiences I could provide. This is how Stealth Shaft Support was born.”

Smith’s fateful moment came when a gentleman approached her in the shop. Though able to achieve an erection, he couldn’t make it last long enough to please his partner. Smith thought she knew just the solution, but was met with only pills, hollow strap-ons and complex cock cages or rings.

“I had the Stealth Shaft Support pop in my head and I thought it would already exist, so I searched to find out it did not exist or anything like it,” says Smith. “It seemed everything was based on girth and length, but not support.”

Smith’s customers wanted something more natural; a product that could blend with his own anatomy without obscuring his or his partner’s enjoyment with outlandish designs.

“Customers were in search of a product that was discreet, comfortable and supportive,” says Smith. “So the more I listened to them, I realized more people would benefit with what Stealth Shaft Support provides.”

The Stealth has since exceeded expectations with Smith’s consumer testers. Sturdy enough to aid in full penetration yet pliable enough to bend with every movement, Stealth doesn’t attempt to fix what isn’t broken; only what needs a little help to function with enthusiasm.

Smith and her small team are excited to initially work with individual retailers and distributors only. The brand will keep consumers engaged and informed via their website and provide retail locations where folks can get their hands on a Stealth sheath.

“As a startup company, we are going to make our product available in stores first, then in the future directly to consumers,” says Smith. “We feel when retail stores carry Stealth Shaft Support, their customers will be given a better option than they have right now for ED.”

From the material used to create the Stealth to the time it’s packaged up and shipped out, Smith proudly produces her brand line in the U.S.

Despite the year’s coronavirus insanity, she’s managed to stay on schedule and keep Stealth’s production and promotions moving in the right direction.

“Being a new startup company, COVID has showed us that determination and adaptation can equal success even with obstacles, [by] doing things virtually until we can be there in-person,” says Smith.

While the Stealth’s goal is — as the company tagline goes — to glide under the radar and get the job done, consumers will be anything but silent once they get their hands (and private parts) on this truly one-of-a-kind penis plaything.

“We are looking forward to the future with excitement because we know once Stealth Shaft Support is available, they will be flying off shelves everywhere,” she enticingly concludes.
