Toy Deformities

I used to keep my toys all piled together in a small box. Then I noticed some deformities on some of my softer toys, like my Primal Juice vibrating butt plug has a flat spot on it now and one of my dildos does to. So now I separate them. Has anyone experienced this with their toys?

Years ago when we had some vinyl toys they self destructed when they were in contact with other toys that were rubber.

We've had some "deformities" with some toys. A cock ring/vibrator disintegrated while laying on something else. A butt plug got "soft" in a couple spots because of contact with something else in the drawer.

Now we try to make sure that there is space or cloth between toys. It isn't quite so sad when it was an inexpensive item. But if one of our more pricey toys or a favorite would get ruined. . . that would be sad.

I have a deformity on one of my vibrator's. It's got like a flat spot and excess build up in one spot from other toys laying with it. However since it's what the wife wanted, we still keep it and use it every weekend.

I had this happen with a couple of the softer toys and i never could work out why it was happening, like a few others have posted i now try and make sure that the softer ones are seperate to the rest and i agree that it is sad enough being a cheap item but when it is an expensive one it is all most heart wrenching. I never thought of the cloth side between them, i think i might give that a go

I have had several in the past get deformed or damaged from improper storage. since then I try to keep them separated from each other in our storage container.

I guess some toys just don't play well together (bad joke)

I was kind of hoping someone on here was a chemical engineer and could tell us which materials to separate. However, I've noticed that not all toys say what they are made of, but rather, what they don't contain.

According to one web site:

Jelly plastics should not be stored touching other plastic items, as they may interact poorly and melt

Jelly plastic toys of different types can interact poorly and “melt” when in contact with each other, if they are of different formulas. Because jelly plastic is a mixture (not a chemically bonded compound, like silicone or glass), it may also develop an oily sheen, change shape, color, or texture, even when not in contact with another plastic. Some people experience irritation when in contact with some types of jelly plastics.

Rubbers, silicones, vinyls should all be separated.

Some metals, notably copper should be stored not in contact with most materials as the copper will cause the toys to discolor and corrode the copper. We learned that when my husband made 3/4" ID copper rectal speculums for colonics. We have since changed over to plastic 3/4"ID tubing. It has the added advantage of not chipping ceramic or tile bathroom fixtures if you drop it.

I had a vibrating butt plug made of jelly or soft rubber become totally flat on one side. I really liked it, and now I can't find another one. I assumed it got too hot while under too much weight from some of the heavier metal toys in my toy box, but now there's this new explanation. I guess I need to start separating toys by material type before I lose more irreplaceable toys. Thanks for the warning.

I had mentioned this on another thread, but will say it again. I put my toys in tube socks to protect them from scratches and such. You might want to try that.
