So I bought a shibari halo wand (off of amazon because secret purchases). Anyways, the head of it is silicone and it's a water proof toy. I have had this toy for a week now, and I am noticing (or I just noticed) that there is this little patch of not as smooth silicone along the back of the toy, and that there is a finger print imprinted on the front of the toy. I have used this toy in total of about four or five times. a couple of those times, I have been on my period, and one of those times, I had used another vibrator that was silicon with water based lube. I made sure to not let these toys touch, since I am aware of how if silicon comes into contact with another silicon substance/material it can wear down the material.

So my question is, could the finger imprint of been there the whole time, or can that happen? And does these splotches of not so smooth silicon be a result of some deterioration, been a result from using it while on my period, or could that have also of been there the whole time and I just didn't notice it?

By the way, just so everyone knows, this toy is so frickin' awesome. I'm a beginner purchaser of sex toys, but for a first sex toy, I so far think this is a great buy. less

Perhaps double check the lube to make sure water based. Or did it accidentally touch some other chemical, ie finger nail polish remover ? Sounds like you may have had some slight amount of chemical on your fingers for both sides to show discoloration. Toothpaste ?

If the silicone is compromised you may want to use a condom over it or other precautions. I believe Property of Potter did a review on this wand. Perhaps hit her up. less

From the looks of the line (vertical) seems it laid on something. Not being a scientist I couldn't answer whether is is still safe or not. Too bad Sex,Science and Food is no longer here. He probably would know. I tried googling compromised silicone but could not find anything.

Perhaps look under Amazon's policy and see if it is returnable. Some items are returnable within 30 days. However sex toys are not and stated so on product pages.

Or use a condom to play it safe, though it looks harmless. Also remember not all silicone are the same. Silicone on toys are not regulated by any agency.

Have you tried using toy cleaner on it ? What have you used so far ? Try googling how to clean...

I read various reviews on this toy. Sounds fabulous ! less
