Are there any toys (sleeves) that are safe to use with oil based lube? Most say water based only

Can anyone recommend some that will not be destroyed by oil based lubes?

Thanks

Why would you want oil based lubes anyway since all the good toys require water based which are easy to get anywhere.

Lots of reasons to use oil based lubes - You can use something all natural (cocnut oil is an amazing lube) - I dont like to put anything on my skin that is not safe to put in my mouth. They are also cheaper than water based lubes. You can make your own and control the ingredients, ect...

There must be some sleeves that are safe to use with oil based lubes?

Well, if you're into making your own lube then why not make the water based kind like I do out of all natural/edible ingredients without any preservatives.  I use 3 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin to 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum mixed in 4 ounces of filtered warm water. I purchase the stuff locally at the health food store, and my 4 ounce batch lasts me a few weeks just as long as I put it in the refridgerator when I'm done. One thing to note is that it's important to mix the xantham Gum into the Glycerine first, and then to add the water last; otherwise it's more difficult to get everythingl to mix well.  Another handy tip is to have a small misting bottle with water nearby during your session so that if your lube starts to dry out, then all you have to do is spritz your member and in your toy to make things all slippery again.

I think pretty much every toy on the market is made of some kind of elastomer polymer.. which means they contain their own oils.. which for some reason that I do not understand, does not play well with oil based lubes. So you might be out of luck.

I dont know about other lubes, but Peace's Lotion is not harmful to swallow (according to the bottle) and seems totally safe on skin, so you could look into that one.

Oil based lube might have chemicals that keeps the oil from drying up keeping it in a constant state of liquid. It's these additives that will likely react with the oil in the toy either breaking up the bonds of the material or leeching all the oil out making the material more likely to crack and rip.
