We've just bought our first ever Vixskin toy, the Johnny Vixskin, and love it. However, we've found that the Vixskin material is a little tacky/sticky to the touch and wondered whether it's safe to use Corn Starch on it to try to give it a more realistic feel, and if so, would that have to be rinsed off prior to use (i.e. insertion)?

Thanks! less

Thanks for all the replies. Well, it's been over half a year and now own both the Johnny and Goodfella. We've used cornstarch on both when it's just foreplay but rinse it off prior to internal use with no side effects to either us or the toys (in fact we also own several Fleshlights that we give exactly the same treatment to and that's why we asked in the first place). Oddly enough after researching this, it seems that a lot of websites suggest that you should use cornstarch on silicone toys since it prolongs their life, prevents the outer layer of the silicone from hardening and absorbs moisture.

And to Mr John - thanks but we're both allergic to the parabens in Maximus. That one lube probably causes more discomfort than we'd have if we left the cornstarch on the dildo! But of course, we DO use a good amount of water based lube (Sliquid Sassy Booty or Probe Thick & Rich usually)

Oh and FieryRed - thanks for the heads up on the medicated powder idea too. Luckily we haven't tried that but we'll still steer clear. less

Thank's for the great feedback. Good to know about Maximus. I will be more cautious about suggesting it. I'm glad you did your research. Thanks to you, I will also reconsider your Vixskin preservation technique. With all the money we have invested in the line, it makes sense to take care of it while being stored. less
