How to Care for Your FTM Packer (Soft Packer Care Guide)

By Ray, Founder of StealthMade · 2 minute read

Your StealthMade soft packer is made from durable, body-safe silicone and built to last. A little gentle care goes a long way, so here's everything you need to know about cleaning, drying, storing, and protecting it.

Do

  • Wash with warm water + mild antibacterial soap
  • Pat dry, then air dry completely
  • Store cool, dry, and out of sunlight
  • Handle gently to protect the painted details

Don't

  • Scrub or rub the surface
  • Over-stretch the silicone
  • Use oil or silicone-based lube
  • Leave it in heat or direct sun
1

Cleaning

Clean it after every use. Keep it gentle, with no scrubbing or rubbing.

  • Wash: Use warm water and a mild antibacterial soap.
  • Go easy: Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the surface.
  • Pat dry: Use a soft towel.
  • Air dry fully: Let it dry completely before you store it.

Feels Tacky After Washing?

That's normal with some soft materials. Once your packer is completely dry, lightly dust it with a small amount of cornstarch to bring back a smooth, skin-like feel.

3

Lube (Only If You Need It)

Lubrication isn't often needed with soft prosthetic packers.

Water-based only. If you do need lubrication, stick with water-based lube. Oils and silicone-based lubricants can break down the material and damage the finish.
4

Storage

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. For best results, store it separately from other items to avoid friction, dust, or damage.

5

Protect the Painted Details

Each packer is hand-painted, and those details can fade over time with frequent use. To keep them looking great:

  • Avoid dry friction against the surface
  • Don't scrub the painted areas
  • Handle gently and store properly
6

Durability and Intended Use

Premium, body-safe silicone makes your packer durable. Just avoid over-stretching it.

Designed for daily wear. StealthMade soft packers are made for comfort and realism, not for penetration or sexual play, because of their softness. They're still made from body-safe material you can trust.
