Simply rinse your Fleshlight insert with warm water from your sink and allow time for both to dry before storing. Do NOT use soap to clean your insert. For tough cleaning, we suggest using a little isopropyl alcohol. To maintain that soft feel, sprinkle a liberal amount of corn starch on the insert and shake off the excess powder. We do NOT recommend the use of talcum or baby powder. NOTE: Frequent powdering of an Ice Fleshlight will cause it to gradually cloud over.

Having a lot of trouble finding Corn Starch down south, anybody have any brands or places where they have purchased corn starch from. Can purchase plenty of starch but we don't want the insert to end up as stiff as a board just yet.

Cornstarch and cornflour are pretty much the same thing, sparky. smile.gif
Mr W
Where I can find Cornstarch or Cornflour and Isopropyl alcohol ?

Thanks
fazman
The first two you should be able to get from the local store. Isopropyl maybe from a chemist

Yep, chemist should have, or Isopropyl I bought from Coles- goes under the name "ISOCOL", and is in bright green plastic bottle with green cartoon dinosaur wearing orange t-shirt on front (go figure?!)- looks like bubble bath or something, hehe.
Find it in same isle as band-aids etc. (BTW-This only applies to australia)
Cheers, KO.

Ok well I have always used the Johnson's baby powder pure cornstarch with aloe N vitamin E
so is that something I should not be using by the sounds of it ?
Thats all I could find at the time

The Johnson's baby corn starch is fine - I've been using it on mine for a while now with no ill effects.

ok so would it be better to get cornflour ?
Pash
It would be cheaper to get cornflour, home brand bag of cornflour might cost ya a buck.

If the baby powder, has cornflour in it then this will be fine.

The thing to remember is that whatever you use you will be washing it off before your next use.
The cornstarch giving the silky silicone touch that your fleshlight had when it first arrived to you.

AND please please.. make sure the insert is DRY before dusting with corn flour.

I have been using the Johnsons baby powder cornstarch for ages.

A bit dearer than the plain stuff in the cooking section. You don't use much anyway

The Johnsons has a nice scent and comes in a shaker pack.

Give it a go, if you like the powdered silky feel to your Fleshie! cool.gif

Hey guys, just a quick note about the ISO, avoid getting it on your skin. We use it occasionally when cleaning circuit boards and it can be absorbed through your skin and cause nerve damage.
The_Man_With_No_Name
Be a bit worring if ISOCOL caused nerve damage seeing as it is a rubbing alcohol
Hicky
Feels somewhat stupid!

Perhaps i have been misinformed! i will ask my boss and get back to you!
Hicky
Well, isopropyl alcohol is a very average disinfectant. it is used in things like mediswabs as it absorbs into the skin and can kill infections under the skin. we buy large amounts and my boss was saying that when he did his degree they were never allowed to touch it, as when you use large amounts of it over time it can be very damaging to your nerves. In hospitales they are never poring it on people or anything, they usually use salt water, (saline) as thats the most effective.

a little bit often is enough to do damage apparently, and swimming in it would make you drunk, unfortunatly, you stay drunk.

Anyways, its all on Wikipedia
