Basic care tips:
Store your prosthetic in a clean and dry place. Do not store touching other silicone products. Be gentle with your prosthetic where possible, and avoid contact with any sharp objects including zippers. These products are high quality, but they are not indestructible. Keeping them as safe as possible will help them last longer. Avoid silicone lube/condoms where possible, but if they are used make sure to wash the product thoroughly as soon as possible afterwards,
How often to clean:
It is best to wash each time after use. With STP products this is not always possible/practical, but make sure to wash and dry properly when you’re home or at the end of your day. You may want to wash before use as well, especially for products used for play. Unfortunately the details painted on products does inevitably fade with washing, but they still remain very realistic looking.
What to clean with:
The products are made of silicone. They can be washed easily. I recommend using either cleaning products made for silicone sex toys, or with warm soap and water. If using soap it’s best to use a gentle and fragrance free soap, avoiding harsh chemicals like in dish soap. Avoid using products containing essential oils (like tea tree oil) and well, as these can be bad for silicone.
Make sure you wash off all soap/products thoroughly with water. Consider that the prosthetic will be touching your body, so do your own research into the ingredients of any products you put on it.
Drying:
It’s important to dry the products properly. Obviously this again isn’t always possible after every step use, but when you clean the prosthetics let them air dry fully or dab them with a dry cloth or toilet paper. Do not use a hair dryer or heat. With hollow prosthetics make sure they’re fully dry on the inside as well, though I do appreciate this can be tricky. If they can be left out to air dry that is ideal.
Using powders:
I personally do not use powders on my products. I have found the material does not get as sticky as other prosthetics. If you do want to use powder powder, you can. However you should definitely do your own research on these (in relation to how healthier they are for your own body, not the product). I would personally opt for a baby powder over talcum powder or cornstarch, if I were to powder mine. Try the prosthetic on its own first and you might find you don’t need any either.
