I bought it from Adam and Eve it is the Sean Michales supercock, I have had it for about two years use it very often at least once a week sometimes more. I have never used bleach on it I use antibacterial soap before and after I use it. My hubbie was wondering if I could be acidic or since I hardly ever use any of my other toys this is the companion for the evenings :-) that I could have just worn off the outer covering. Thank you for your help Howard :-)
