handling concerns fragile.

Thank you for the advice. I always take great care when cleaning my Progasm Ice. It is true that it is particularly slippery.

The white plastic models are made of am impressively tough material BUT If you use heat to modify them (i.e. to alter the P-tab position) they can become brittle. I retired my helix trident after dropping it on a tile floor .. and breaking the arm off. 

That’s why I like the Syn models as they are indestructible! Had experienced the same issue with my Progasm - broke one of the tabs off! As mentioned, be careful not to drop the ones made with hard materials!

Unfortunately, they are not indestructible; months ago, I was cleaning my Helix Syn Classic and the front tab broke inside it's silicone envelope. It's holding together by the silicone but the abutment is almost useless.

I was going to chuck it but I'm glad I didn't as it performs as well as it always has. My prostate loves it.

@canonprf these a hot cast plastic .seems if you put heat on it again it not going to effect it  So you think it changed the molecule structure of the plastic to change the tensile strength and make it brittle ? I wonder something to think of thanks.

I dropped my Helix Trident once when washing it, luckily my fast reflexes caught it on the edge of my finger, which removed some of the energy from the fall, so when it hit the hard floor it didnt break.

But washing my nJoy Pure Wand.... that's enough to give me nervous sweats! That thing's pure stainless steel and heavy. When washing it, it becomes so slippery, I have to grasp it for dear life so it doesn't fall onto the wash basin and shatter the basin into pieces.

@lonewolf8 , I feel the same when washing my Pure Wand; I take great care to not drop it.  It's heavy and slippery when wet with soap water.

Hey glad to see you back; missed ya!

Yeah the Pure Wand could really do some damage and I'm always worried about scratching it or marring the finish. I wash all my toys in a plastic container and try to do any insertion / removal on the bed or on a towel if I'm on the floor, but I can't say I didn't have any close calls over the years. Glass toys are particularly problematic as they're incredibly slippery... 

yes I have a trident and have been using nothing but it.

@canonprf did you apply heat to it?

if not they are just brittle anyway.

right?
