Happy New Year... sorta

Hello Friends of MUF. I was about to tackle a year-end blog entry, but just has I was about to start, I hear my husband yelling, "We have a leak!" What?! Yep. Our water heater busted on the day before New Year's Eve. If only I could figure out how to stuff a dildo into this gusher. But I can't. I know when I have been beaten. We are getting tankless water heater tomorrow. Thank heaven for federal rebates.

Well, back to the subject at hand... oh, screw it. I have to go mop the floor and move cat litter, I had a root canal today, and that was by far easier than this. After mopping up, I will finish my wine that I had started before I heard the lethal words regarding the leak. And no shower for me tonight. Hiccup.

Toy Maker of the Month: Fun Factory

"Love Yourself!"

Headquartered in Austria, Europe's leading erotic toy manufacturer, Fun Factory, is known as the maker of the highest quality silicone and elastomed toys available. Their entire line is either water-resistant or completely waterproof, high-tech with built-in microships, energy efficent, durable, tasteful, and at the same time erotic!

Often referred to as the Mercedes Benz and BMW of Sex Toys, Fun Factory has proven that erotic toys can be well-constructed, tasteful, enjoyable and high-quality products that should not be confined to some dirty corner or to the red light district. All of their products are allergy-safe, 100% Silicone, non-sticky and velvety smooth. These are legacy toys that will last for years.

From MUF Staff... Why do we like Fun Factory so much? Beside their quality, Fun Factory products are just great to look at. If you want to introduce toys into a relationship, but are a bit hesitant, this is the way to go. These toys are so non-threatening and in a weird way, asexual. They truly have a toy-like quality. These could end up in your kid's toy box and no one would ever know. Whenever we are asked for recommendations, Fun Factory is on the top of our list.

Cyberskin: Why We Like It

The other day, a woman called us. She wanted to buy a penis extensions for her husband. She had a choice between latex and Cyberskin and wanted to know the difference. Price-wise it was about 20 dollars; Cyberskin being the more expensive of the two. Now, we are all very aware that times of tough, and I will be the first sniff out a bargain. Fellow MUFers, don't we all wonder if that lipstick at Macy's is really any different than the one at Walgreens? I have heard that Lancome and L'Oreal are the the same company. Okay... I am digressing here. Bottom line, I do not begrudge anyone for trying to save a few extras bucks. But when it came to these extensions, I felt the need to nudge her along. Cyberskin. Cyberskin. She asked me to describe the cyberskin. And the first thing that came to my mind, it's like a Cabbage Patch Doll. Soft and life-like. She got the Cyberskin.

I feel the need to have a more thorough disourse on CyberSkin. "It's like a Cabbage Patch Doll," does not really cut it. So here is what we know about Cyberskin:

It was invented by the founders of Topco Sales whose origins are in Southern California’s Aerospace and Metallurgical Engineering Technology. With the creation of CyberSkin it is now possible to make products with Virtual Touch™, that is, with an extremely realistic feel like that of the human body. This means that if you close your eyes and touch the material, you can't tell the difference between CyberSkin and the human body.

CyberSkin has two unique properties. First, CyberSkin has memory and can recover to its original shape. Second, this revolutionary material can simulate in the same product the softness of skin and the rigidity of erectile tissue. The injection molding process used to create CyberSkin products allows them to vary the density or hardness of the CyberSkin within the same mold. This is one of the keys to the remarkably realistic feel. Some CyberSkin vibrators are so detailed that they have skin that moves along the shaft and balls that shift inside the scrotum.

For some customers, CyberSkin vibrators are almost a little too realistic looking and feeling. Almost horrified at the sight and feel of a disembodied penis, they can’t imagine being turned on by them. The size can also add to this fear. Because of the soft, skin-like resilient surface, the manufacturer has tended to make these vibrators larger in girth than average, knowing that they will fit and feel just fine.

Most customers genuinely enjoy the likeness, and it feeds perfectly into their most erotic fantasies. The CyberSkin vibrators with realistic balls provide a flat base fitting against the palm of your hands for control, while the balls stimulate the clitoris with each thrust.

CyberSkin needs to be treated with care. It is not the type of toy you throw into a drawer along with your other toys. Being soft and skin-like, it can tear against rough edges, and because it’s semi-porous you don’t want it touching any silicone toys. Silicone deteriorates CyberSkin material and also stains it to whatever color the silicone toy was that it touched!

The semi-porous quality also makes CyberSkin toys more difficult to clean than other materials. Therefore, you may want to cover your CyberSkin vibrator with a condom before inserting it, especially if you are using it for anal penetration or if you are sharing it. And as with all CyberSkin toys, use water-based lube only; oil-based or silicone-based lubes will destroy the CyberSkin material.

After using:

Wash with a liquid antibacterial soap and water.
Pat dry with a soft cotton towel and allow to air-dry completely.
Generously apply CyberSkin RENEW (or cornstarch) to properly maintain your CyberSkin products. This will restore the original soft, non-sticky smooth Virtual Touch™ texture.

So that's the skinny on Cyberskin.
