Mr. Right is silicone, not cyberskin or anything like that, so it doesn't need to be dusted.

I use corn starch on our Fleshlight, so that's what I'd recommend if you dust it at all. But like Rin says, that one is silicone and doesn't need to be dusted.

Some of the reviews do suggest cornstarch if the user wants to enhance the lifelike feel, so that should work.

I've actually got one on its way to me. I'll have to see how it does both with and without dusting.

My wife and I have used cornstarch or the "dust" body powders that are sold on EF. Either or works fine for us.

I should add that I am not sure how the edible body powders work for "infections" or those that have issues with certain products around their genitals. My wife doesn't have any issues, but others might.

I used corn starch. It helps in keeping the toy less sticky than I find it can get when it is wet.

You know, I never got around to it. I'm not actually into packing, and got a Mr. Right for a project that never came to fruition, so it's just been sitting it its box. I'll report back later if I can actually find any cornstarch in my house.

I'm a bit confused. What is dusting and when would one do it and why?

I'm so glad plain old cornstarch works. I'm such a cheapskate.

Basically it's putting some kind of powder (like cornstarch or maybe flour?) on a toy to help it be less sticky. I've seen recommendations that you do it after washing or before you wear the packer. It's just to make it feel more like skin and less like sticky rubbery material.

I dont think you have to dust the mr. right, but if you do you could use either corn starch or baby powder

I wouldn't use baby powder unless it's proven to be talc free. I've always heard that having talc near your genitals is bad. I always just stick to corn starch to be on the safe side, though the Mr. Right shouldn't need to be dusted.

It ideally doesn't need to be dusted with anything, but I personally feel that, if I take mine straight out of water or anything, it will retain moisture even after a brief pat-down dry, or if I leave it alone for quite a while it may develop an oily-ness at its base (by base I mean flat-backing side) and at times leave an oil stain on whatever it was it was sitting on (i.e. paper)

Soooo, while it ideally should not need dusting, I feel as though a dusting would benefit it, yeah. (I personally have never dusted mine.) I've heard of corn starch being most popular for dusting. Once I've read of a "mixture of flour and medical powder" being used, on FTM Mall.

I sometimes worry about yeast infections, so I don't dust for that reason, although I honestly have no idea what causes yeast infections. I sometimes jut figure corn starch and flour seem yeast-y, soo...

Maybe baby powder could work also

I usually just dust with cornstarch on the toys that need/require it. I picked up that tip from all the awesome reviewers here on Eden.

I've been brushing mine with corn starch after every cleaning, which makes it velvety smooth and has cut down on the amount of lint that builds up on it during use.
