Hello! I have a question about a vibrator that I have. I purchased the purple emperor vibe a while back, and at first it was fine. But I've noticed lately that it actually burns me. So I was wondering if this is because I developed an allergy to it,(have to mention that I did not have any allergies before) or if that's something that normally happens when it's time to throw a toy away and get a new one.

Yes, it's time to throw it out. Jelly breaks down over time and some people are sensitive to jelly products. And I wouldn't call it an allergy...just a sensitivity...

In the long run, you'd probably do better to use silicone, which is more expensive initially but won't need to be replaced for a long long time. But if you have your heart set on jelly, then you should DEF use a condom over any jelly toy in the future.

You have to throw jelly toys out whenever they get sticky or start to smell bad.

Yes, the jelly break-down process is most likely responsible for this irritation. Jelly has phthalates- chemicals which make it softer but are also very bad for your body.
Use a condom over jelly toys to protect yourself, and extend their lives, or go for silicone.

You know, they often smell bad right out of the package, but you're probably talking about a different kind of smell.

I was gonna say, don't jelly toys always smell bad?

I agree with everyone else; condom it up, or get a phthalate-free toy. However, it's also possible you've got some sort of infection; it could be bacterial, viral, possibly an STI, or bacteria vaginosis (assuming you have a vagina). If changing a toy doesn't help, I really suggest heading to a doc to get it checked out. Infections in your nether regions are NEVER fun!

I’ve had this toy for over a year. I’ve had the same thing happen. In case you don’t want to throw it away (I don’t because I really like it) you can cover it with a condom so there is no direct skin to toy contact. Because jelly toys are porous and cannot be sterilized, it’s a good idea to use them with a condom at all times. The toy feels just as good even when it’s being safe.

Are you using a lubricant with this toy? It may possibly be the lubricant. Or possibly the product that you use to clean it with.

You should really stop using it. I'd recommend something made of medical grade silicone next time around.

This is true, since all jellies are very porous. The best would be silicone, which does eventually break down, but a lot slower than jelly.
