Are our prostheses safe?
Our prostheses are made of high quality platinum silicone. This medical grade silicone is non-toxic and safe for the skin, platinum silicone is non-allergenic and contains no chemicals. But it must be understood that silicone was not created for sexual penetration. If our customers choose to use our products for penetration, they do so at their own risk. The use of a condom is suggested for the safety of your partner and for yourself. This will also help reduce any risk associated with sexually transmitted infections, as well as keep your prosthesis clean and in good condition. If you use condoms and lubricant with our prostheses, make sure they are exclusively water-based. Silicone-based lubricants are often incompatible and will damage the prosthesis. Intense physical activities and hardcore type games are not recommended, it could damage the prosthesis. Please use our products properly. We are not responsible for the functionality of our prostheses during sex. We do not recommend wearing a prosthesis for a long period of time, as your skin needs to be able to breathe.
WARNING If you experience irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately.
Is silicone harmful to the environment?
Unlike plastic, high-grade silicone is inert. This means that it does not emit anything toxic. If a silicone object ends up in nature, it would end up degrading into tiny pieces that are harmless to our environment. Silicone is therefore an inert material with a low impact on the environment.
What is the life expectancy of a prosthesis?
Silicone is a very durable material. However, the lifespan of the products varies according to the use made of them by their user, daily or not, and according to the quality of their cleaning and maintenance. Regular rubbing against clothing will damage silicone and paint in the long term. Although the silicone used is of very high quality; a phallic prosthesis has a limited lifespan.
If a small hole forms or a tear occurs, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY! Never continue to use a product that has a hole or tear. Continued use may cause further damage. Most damage can be repaired if detected early and corrected. Contact us immediately and report this damage, with clear photos and a detailed description.
How to care for my prosthesis?
It is recommended to rinse with running water and clean after use. If you use it regularly, wash the prosthesis at least once a day with fragrance-free soap (ideally ph neutral). Leave to air dry.
You don't need to powder your denture, but if you want, you can apply a light dusting of cornstarch.
Keep the prosthesis out of direct sunlight and store it in a cool, dark place, avoiding direct contact with other silicone-based products.
Can the appearance of the product vary?
Since our products are handmade, there may be slight variations in product design, slight differences in appearance, color and cuts. Some details may also be missing. In addition, the color seen on the screen may vary depending on the device used.
It is possible to see the presence of very small air bubbles. They are quite normal, especially for hand-made products; these minor defects will in no way affect the functioning of the prosthesis. All of our items undergo thorough quality control before dispatch.
What is a stroker and how do you use it?
It is a soft and elastic silicone masturbator in the shape of a penis or not phallic. The center of the prosthesis is hollow with an opening at the base and reliefs on the interior walls. The length and aesthetics may vary from one stroker to another, but the majority are used the same way thanks to two magic concepts: suction and friction!
It is important to note that you need to have a minimum of genital growth to be able to fully use a stroker. After some time on hormone therapy with testosterone, the tissues of what was the clitoris grow to grow in length and/or expand to form what looks like a mini penis. The name is very personal to everyone: dicklit, peen, dick, growth, etc. I personally use “peen” and this is the term I will use in my explanations. This genital growth is full of very sensitive nerves which can be very pleasurable and lead to orgasm when stimulated and this is where the stroker comes in!
The concept is simple: we insert the peen inside the stroker and with the movement and the suction, we give ourselves pleasant sensations! In reality, it may be a bit more complex than that, but lucky you! This text will explain the best tricks to have the best moments! With your finger, you can spread a light layer of water-based lubricant at the entrance and inside the prosthesis. Thereafter, slightly stretch the edges of the stroker without unrolling it, to put the end of your peen at the base so that the prosthesis can surround your growth. When you're ready, squeeze the end of the stroker to squeeze the air out and create a suction effect that will pull you deeper inside.
From the moment the prosthesis is properly installed on you, it's time to experiment! Each body being different, they are stimulated in their own way. Some people prefer friction and move back and forth, slow or fast. Others will squeeze the tip of the prosthesis at a certain rate for a sucking sensation. You can try lying down, standing, kneeling, in the shower, in the bath, alone or with a partner, in duo with other stimulations, etc. The techniques are diverse and almost infinite to do good physically, but also psychologically by reducing gender dysphoria. It's up to you to explore and maybe a certain stroker will work for you more than another.
Of course, we have to talk about safety!
Since there is a suction effect, a stroker is not made to be put on the body for hours at a time. It is necessary to check the color of the peen during the game; the latter should not turn purple or blue, this would mean a lack of oxygen in the tissues. In the long term, you could create irreversible damage to blood vessels, nerves and flesh. A lack of lubricant with a lot of friction to end with a blister (water blister) on the peen or abrasions. Using a stroker should never be painful. If the experience starts to get uncomfortable, stop your session for now and let your peen rest. With a good application, a stroker is not dangerous for the body and ends in very pleasant moments.
That's it! You now know how to handle your stroker! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us and we will direct you to the right resources. With that, I'll let you have fun! Remember to clean your prosthesis with a toy cleaner or mild soap after each use!
