Two Jaguar harness problems in the same week...uh oh I bought my present Jaguar to replace my old harness (lost in a break-up) this August (2009) and have noticed lately rust accumulating on some of the studs. I have probably only needed to wash the harness with a damp wash cloth two or three times since purchasing; usually it doesn't require any intensive cleaning.

I'm really bummed because I only bought this a few months ago and I REALLY love it (I even wrote a glowing review for it on here!) I also spent a lot of money on it because I felt it would last a long time, but already I'm experiencing deterioration. Is it just me or does this seem a little premature? Is there anything you would suggest for me?

Thank you a bunch, I really appreciate it. less

Sorry to hear that your harness rivets succumbed to rust, it can happen when the harness is not properly dried prior to storage, the harness is not indestructable but it can last a very long time with proper care. Since your harness is guaranteed for life you can send the rusted one back for a replacement.

I wash my harnesses with every use. Never blow dry them. Coat the hardware with clear nail polish or anti rust varnish. I stowe them in a well ventilated drawer with silica packets. Its like 98 percent humidity here, my Aslans are not rusting. (silver, red, white, black,,,,) less

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I'll try using anti-rust varnish and silica. As it stands every time that I've cleaned my Aslan I've hung it on one of the limbs of my multi-armed lamp for 48 hours. I'm pretty cautious about care for my sex toys, especially ones that are costly. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong, unless I was "drying" the item during a humid period (which is possible) and I put it into storage when it was still moist. I honestly had never considered humidity.

I will definitely try silica though, very good idea. Thanks again to ASLAN for being really helpful And to anyone that's on the fence you should go with ASLAN. Not only are they evidently very nice folks, but the harnesses are seriously some of the nicest stuff available for purchase. You could wear the Jaguar to bed it's so soft and you'd never notice. less

I make sure mine is dry prior to putting it away. I store mine on a clothes hanger in my closet. My g/f uses clear nail polish with hers, on the rivets but I have not tried this but I haven't had a rust problem either.
Perhaps perspiration is corrosive (it does contain salt) if not adequately wiped off with a damp cloth?
Aslan rocks!! Quality with a lifetime guarantee!!! less
