It is recommended to use anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner after each use. To maintain the realistic feel of CyberSkin it needs to be sprinkled with renewing powder which will make it feel soft and like new. Like silicone, sex toys made from CyberSkin cannot be used with Silicone-Based Personal Lubricants but are compatible with Water-Based Personal Lubricants. When purchasing a sex toy made from CyberSkin you will need to double check what it is made from just in case it is not made from body safe materials.

When purchasing a Vibrator you will need to consider how you wish to take care of it and how to store it. Here are some other ideas and products which you should think about purchasing if you would like your Vibrator to work for you as a long term investment.

Antibacterial Sex Toy Cleaner

If you buy a product which is porous in nature you will need to consider buying anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner so that you can thoroughly clean any residue or harmful bacteria that may remain on the sex toy after use.

Personal Lubricant

The best type of personal lubricant to be used with a sex toy is water-based lubricant. Water-based lubricant will not damage sex toys which are made with silicone or material that has that realistic look and feel.

Storage Pouches

Some of the cheaper sex toys that are made with lower quality materials are more susceptible to damage than luxury sex toys which are made with higher quality materials. When you go to use your sex toy, you will need to check it for damage or product manufacturing faults. For example, if you use a wooden sex toy which is chipped, it is likely that it will scratch you.

When you are making your purchase most high quality Vibrators come with a free satin or silk storage pouch. Storing them in these pouches ensures that your Vibrator does not rub against other items which prevents it from being scratched or dented.
