how to clean cyberskin

Cyberskin is a super-soft material and has a very realistic feel to it. It's also a very resilient and malleable material, and warms quickly to body temperature. Cyberskin is typically made from a mix of silicone and mineral oil, but should not be boiled like other silicone toys. Cyberskin is typically phthalate-free.

Cyberskin toys can be washed with warm water and mild soap (avoid harsh detergents). Be sure to wash your toy before its first use and after each subsequent use.

When the toy dries, you may find that it is sticky to the touch. In this case, just dust your toy with cornstarch and it will feel smooth and silky again (please avoid using talcum powder which has been linked to cervical cancer in women). Toys don't lubricate themselves; you may find that using a water-based lubricant heightens your pleasure with toys. Please avoid using silicone-based and oil-based lubes with your Cyberskin toy; these lubes can sometimes harm Cyberskin toys.

There is no reliable information regarding the use of Cyberskin toys and any chemical or allergic reactions. If you are concerned about this we recommend you always use a condom on all penetration toys. If you are sharing your toy, or using it both vaginally and anally, put a condom on it to minimize the risk of transmitting infections.

Avoid storing your Cyberskin toys next to toys made of plain or jelly rubber. When Cyberskin is in prolonged contact with plain or jelly rubber toys, it damages the integrity of your Cyberskin product.
