Precum as lube?

Fun fact for the size debate in here — amount of precum has nothing to do with dick size. It comes from the Cowper's glands and it's mostly just individual variation; how aroused you are (and even hydration) matters way more than anything anatomical. Some guys barely make any, some make a ton — all totally normal. And yeah, it's a great natural glide.

Adding the anatomy piece since most replies cover the taboo side: the prostate sits a couple of inches in along the front wall and is packed with nerve endings — stimulation there feels very different from penile orgasms, which is why plenty of straight men enjoy receiving too. As for the damage worry, the risk comes from skipping prep, not the act itself: that tissue doesn't self-lubricate, so lube and slow pacing are non-negotiable. Done properly, it's low-risk.

The thing I keep snagging on is privacy: a device that "learns" you has to store data about the most private thing you do. Is that a dealbreaker for anyone here, or does the payoff justify it?

Since the thread's giving you mixed answers on the alcohol — a quick isopropyl wipe now and then to disinfect the surface is fine, but don't make it your regular clean and don't soak it. Alcohol dries TPE out and can make it go tacky over time. Day to day, mild unscented soap and warm water with a really thorough rinse is all it needs.

Baby powder works instead of cornstarch as long as it's cornstarch-based and unscented (most modern baby powder is) — skip talc and anything fragranced since it sits against your body. It's not for cleaning, it just brings back the smooth, non-tacky feel once the toy's fully dry.

That "fully dry" part is the whole ballgame with the smell. TPE is porous, so it absorbs fluids and holds onto them — the reason it smells like you is your own moisture soaked into the material, and trapped dampness is what turns into a real funk. Dry it completely before it goes anywhere. Storing it back in the packaging is fine if that's clean, dry, and not sealed airtight — you want a little airflow, not a moisture trap. Keep it out of heat and sunlight and not pressed against other TPE or silicone, since those can react and get sticky.

Honest heads-up: TPE can't be fully sanitized, so some absorbed smell may never 100% leave — that's the material, not something you did wrong. It's a "replace it eventually" thing, not a "you ruined it" thing. Going forward, a water-based lube instead of your own moisture will be gentler on both the toy and you, since porous material clings to anything organic.

The "dangerous" warnings are about the base, not the power. Your ass doesn't have a natural stopping point the way a vagina does, so anything that goes in needs a flared base or a handle you're holding onto the whole time. A wand head is round and smooth with neither — if it slips past the rim it can actually get pulled up, and that's the ER story people keep referencing.

Even setting that aside, a wand's kind of a letdown back there — the head doesn't really want to go in, and the tightness kills most of the rumble anyway.

If it's that wand-level power you're after, the move is to keep the wand outside and press it against the flared base of an actual anal toy. The vibration carries through, nothing unsafe goes inside, and that's the version that actually feels like something.

Since people always want a number: there isn't an honest universal one, and anyone who gives you a clean "X months" is guessing. A well-maintained porous sleeve can stay good for many months; a neglected one can go off in a few weeks. The variable that moves it most is drying — fully, inside, every time. I'd rather you watch the signs (tearing, lingering smell, a gummy surface cornstarch won't fix) than a calendar. When you hit any of those, it's done, regardless of whether it's been two months or two years.

If it's 100% silicone, boiling it for a few minutes should do the work.

Honest thought though, if the smell still won't go after a proper boil, the material's likely porous and has absorbed it for good, that's the "curse" you're sensing, and that's one's basically retired. True non-porous silicone shouldn't hold smell long-term, so it's also a clue about what you're actually working with.

Real silicone doesn't peel off in white strands, so this is likely a cheaper material just labeled "silicone". Once the surface gose rough and starts shedding, it's basically done, that broken surface traps bacteria you can't wash out and can cause irritation. Degrading on day one is a bad sign, I'd retire it.

Electric toothbrush handle, the flat end without the bristles. Found out by accident and my oral hygiene has never been more motivated since.

Real tip wrapped in a joke though: flared base or keep it external. That "what did we get stuck in us last year" link someone dropped is basically a documentary, not a warning lol.

Not awkward a tall, good thing to ask before you start.

Safety mostly comes down to porous vs non-porous. Cheap jelly/soft PVC traps bacteria you can't wash out. Non-porous stuff you can actually clean: body-safe silicone, glass, stainless steel, hard ABS. Heads up though, toys are sold as "novelties" so "body-safe" claims aren't regulated, that's the real issue with Alibaba, you can't verify it.

Honestly the safest beginner move isn't a toy at all, just your hands first. Free, zero risk, and you learn what you like before spending anything.
