Caring For Your Sex Toy

To help you have the most fun with your sex toy, we recommend following these 10 simple care guidelines:

1. Clean it

Clean your sex toy before and after use according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually involves washing it with warm water and mild soap or a sex toy cleaner.

2. Respect the power source

If your sex toy is rechargeable, fully charge it before first use. Do not use the toy while it is charging. If your sex toy is battery-operated, use good quality batteries and remove them when your toy is not in use.

3. Choose toy-compatible lubricant

Ensure lubricant used with your sex toy is compatible with its material. Water-based lubricant is generally the safest option. Avoid silicone-based lubricant with silicone sex toys because it can damage the material.

4. Use as intended

Only use your sex toy as intended by the manufacturer. This means only transferring the same toy from vagina to anus or anus to vagina if it is designed for that purpose. Thoroughly clean your toy before it penetrates a different entry.

5. Don’t force it

Never use your sex toy on areas that are sore, inflamed, swollen, cut or injured, or with an unwilling partner. Stop using your sex toy if you or your partner experience pain, discomfort or other concerns.

6. Take your time

Use your sex toy at your own pace, experiencing different sensations and intensities when you and any partner are ready.

7. Practise water safety

If your sex toy is not waterproof, never submerge it in water or use it in the shower, bath, pool or spa. If your toy is battery-operated, ensure no water gets in the battery compartment.

8. Store appropriately

Ensure your sex toy is completely dry before putting it in a safe, cool, dark place, such as a storage case. Sex toys made from jelly rubber, realistic feel materials, TPE, TPR, latex or PVC should be stored without touching any other toys to prevent damage to the materials or colour transfer.

9. Perform maintenance

Regularly check your sex toy for signs of wear and replace as necessary.

10. Have fun!

Using sex toys is meant to be fun. Choose toys that you and any partner are comfortable with as you take your journey from beginner to advanced sex toy play.
