[QUOTE="simme, post: 1848404, member: 40418"] Our old friend Ron discussed them in a FB group back in December. He felt that the smooth closed end (with 2 side ports for semen delivery) made getting through the cervix easier. I have not used them, but any sheath with an insert is going to leave a little semen inside since the insert has a fixed opening that the semen must pass through. The plunger on the gun will push the internal cotton plug to the end of the straw against that insert that seals it. The insert is between the cut end of the straw and the end of the sheath, so nothing to push that last little bit out of the insert. Traditional sheaths with a colored insert mean you don't see the little bit left inside. Seems like that design with a closed tip and 2 side ports might leave a little more in the sheath than the older type. I think all that is correct, but no guarantee. [/QUOTE]
