Any tips on drying without turning inside out?
I've left them turned upside down to air dry, but after 24 hours they're still wet inside.

After cleaning I insert the first wand gentle in the sleeve and squeeze the sponge (from the outside) as I dry up and down the sleeve.
I then use a second wand and do the same, its pretty dry after that

I think never turning sleeves inside out should extend their lives considerably.

This is by far the best method I have tried. You just get a cheap aquarium air pump and some tubing. After you have dried it out the other ways you stick the air tube in (make sure to melt the ends of the tube so there are no sharp edges) and turn it on. Then leave it in overnight or whatever and you have a completely dry insert.DarkOne wrote:Aquarium air pump. Pretty much everyone who has tried it swears by it.

Re: Any tips on drying without turning inside out?
Sorry it didn't work out for you and the chopstick ripped thru the sponge . Yes I've been concerned about this too but I've never had this happen yet after about 9 months with the same stick/sponges. I decided to make my own after the Abyss wand broke after one turn (stick went thru sponge) .It may depend on how the sponge and stick is attached and I also found I got better results after I squeezed the sleeve as the sponge was inside. After you remove the sponge/stick the sponge is very damp so it has absorbed a lot of moisture, but I definitely needed the second dry sponge/stick to get most rest of the moisture out.Silicone Lover wrote:I tried the chopsticks with the sponge, but I found it very hard to push the sponge into the sleeve, once I did manage to it didn't seem to dry it very well, and the chopstick ended up ripping through the sponge. I was worried that because the chopstick had ripped through that it could cause damage to the sleeve.
So far happy with this and no mould in sleeve.

Re: Any tips on drying without turning inside out?
I was going to recommend a narrow tube connected to a hairdryer on low heat and pressure but then saw this comment and realized "DAM! that's the best idea hands down!" I bought an adjustable flow aquarium pump a couple years back for my ex's table top water fountain off ebay for like $5!! doesn't get any better than that!DarkOne wrote:Aquarium air pump.

I also noticed that the insert i bought from reallovesexdolls as a compatibility test (do not have a love doll in my life... yet) also did not dry completely after 24 hours of being upside down, but after being kinda rough with it it turns inside out pretty easily and effortlessly once you realize how strong they are.

silicone lovers insert, like mine, may only have an entrance hole to it making airflow through it impossible.MannequinFan wrote:What I do with my Fleshlight sleeve is just push a little wad of absorbent paper towel through and squeeze the sleeve with it in there. Then I let it dry overnight laying on its side so both ends are open to the air. Seems to work pretty well.
Or does it have a front and back door silicone lover??

I like to sprinkle baby powder on the insert and just let air dry.

This is by far the best way I have found. Just so easy, clean rinse and insert the tube, Walk away.Aquarium air pump. Pretty much everyone who has tried it swears by it.
No paper no waste, chopstick and sponges.
Works fantastic.
