Important Information On Benzocaine
Found In Most Sexual Desensitizers

Desensitizers can contain numbing drugs that can include lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine and prilocaine. The FDA said consumers should be cautious about using them without medical supervision. Leaving the creams on the skin for long periods of time or on large portions of their bodies can increase the risk, officials have said. Small children and people with heart or severe liver disease are also at higher risk.

Overuse of skin-numbing creams can cause irregular heartbeats and even death.

Creams and lotions often used in conjunction with cosmetic procedures.

Used in large amounts can cause a lethal dose of chemicals to enter bloodstream.

Numbing creams and lotions, available both by prescription and over the counter, are approved to soothe burning or itching skin as well as pain and to decrease sensation.

Silicone Lubricants

Use With Silicone Sex Toys

A common myth is that silicone sex toys cannot be used with silicone-based lubricants and that silicone sex toys should not come into contact with other silicone sex toys. However, we have not found either of these points to be true.

As for 100% silicone sex toys, you will not find such problems unless it is not 100% silicone. It is also fine to use silicone lubes with condoms of just about any kind.

You have to be sure that it is made from 100% silicone, otherwise it may destroy the sex toy and break it down.

Who Makes 100% Silicone Products?

We carry a large variety of 100% silicone sex toys, here are some companies that make them-

Do Not Use With Jelly Sex Toys

It is the jelly toys that you will find this to be true... the reason for this reaction is that jelly toys are not 100% silicone, and the melting happens because they are made of lesser materials that have additives to make them soft. Those chemical additives, called phthalates, emit from the toys over time, and as this happens, they make each other even softer, seen as "melting".

Do Not Use With Cyberskin Sex Toys

Silicone or any petroleum or oil-based lubricant will destroy CyberSkin.

Use Them In Water & Use Soap For Easy Clean Up!

Silicone lubricants work well in water and are great for sexual activity in the bath tub, shower, etc. However, because they stay on in water, you have to use soap to clean them off.

Only use waterbased lubricants with CyberSkin sex toys! Silicone or any petroleum or oil-based lubricant will destroy CyberSkin.

When Using Condoms

Never use lubricants that contain oils, fat or greases such as petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) baby oils or lotion, hand or body lotions, cooking oils or oily cosmetics like cold cream. They can seriously weaken latex causing a condom to form tin holes and tear easily. Use only water or silicone based lubricants both inside and outside the condom.

Nonoxynol-9

Is a mild chemical detergent that kills sperm and has been found to also kill some STD causing organisms. Nonoxynol 9 is a common ingredient in spermicides and lubricant, previously thought to help reduce the risk of HIV infection. Not only have recent studies proven this untrue, they've also discovered that Nonoxynol 9 actually leads to infections, which can help transmit the disease. How ever some men and woman have a sensitivity or allergic reaction to nonoxynol-9 that may irritate the delicate tissues of the vagina or the male urethra. If irritation occurs, you should discontinue use.

Massage Oils & Oil Based Lubricants -

Oil based sex lubricants degrade latex and as such condoms or diaphragms become risky protectors against both unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. They're bad for women's vaginal health in a variety of ways so avoid them when practicing safe sex and partaking in vaginal sex.
