Kind of joking about the title... A little.

I bought the Sujiman Kupa Roa a few weeks ago and have since used it about six times. In that time I've noticed that it's become more 'rubbery' on the outside before I apply lube to it, and little flecks of things (lint from towels) are sticking to it. I suspect (based on what I've read from here) that it might have something to do with the soap I've been using, which is (for all intents and purposes) hand soap. I clean it out with water until I can't feel any slipperiness, then wash my hands, and use the handsoap to reclean it, then pat dry the outside with a towel, and dry the inside as much as I can before leaving it to dry pointing downward. If the handsoap's likely to be the culprit for the general 4th-use clinginess, then what brand of soap to people generally use to keep things "in order"?

I'm mainly asking because the Roa was an experiment, and generally a good one. I felt it to be too tight (almost painful post-cum to pull out of) and it was so short I busted out the other end! Other than those two things and the weird, rubbery tackiness, it was great fun (although not lasting me as long as I'd hoped). Definitely moving on to a Meiki Sarah as it's longer and looser but I'd like to find out specifics on how to take care of it (as in brand names of soaps).

Thanks

To avoid lint on the toy, use lint-free towel. Microfiber works great. Generally gel hand-soap or even organic/mild bar soap should be fine. Cheap commercial stuff might break down the oil elastomer so be careful with that. The reason for the tackiness is that when washing, tiny bits of oil come through. Only way to counter it is corn starch.

Personally though, I use my toy at least once a day. Re-applying corn starch is way too much of a pain (unless you have lots of toys and can just alternate and store the others starched up). It's also kind of unavoidable that little flecks stick to the toy, it attracts dust and the like. I just wash it with lots of soap when I feel it gets TOO dirty. Thoroughly soaping up the exterior every single day is overkill to me (and promotes tackiness!), I just rinse the interior very well and let it get as dry as possible.

Anyway, if I recall correctly the Magic Eyes toys use material that already don't easily get overly tacky. NPG Meiki toys get MUCH tackier. Also, the Sarah is even more stimulating than the Kupa Roa, something to keep in mind. If I were you I'd get the Julia+ (my top recommendation) or the ZXY. They are gentler but still pack quite a punch. The kind of punch that lets your eyeballs roll to the back of your head.

Huh! I had read a review that said Meiki Sarah was a lot less stimulating than others the reviewer had tried.

Good idea to use microfiber, I'll have to snag one of those. Also, it seems a little gross to not soap it up after each time, but I will give it a shot. It was so nice coming out of the box and it's hard to imagine it's only good for about 10 uses before it falls apart, so I want to try and keep it going for as long as possible.
