How to maintain your Sex Toys

When you buy anything you need to take good care of it, so when you buy a sex toy you should follow these tips to help you get the most out of your toy (don't forget to read the recommendations from the manufacturer before using your toy).

Before you buy, make sure you know what sort of toy your after, know what you are allergic to and make sure you know what your lubricants will do to the material of the sex toy your after. Will all the material options like glass, silicone and plastic you should be able to find something that's just right for you.

Last! If you are going to share your toy, you may want to use condoms to minimize the chances of exchanging bacteria or fluids with your sexual partner.

First Time Use

Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations before using your toy for the first time. Ensure you follow the instructions on how to sanitize and/or pre-treat your toy. Remember to wash your toy after you use it to prevent a build up of bacteria. We recommend you use a wet paper towel to prevent water from getting into the internal electronic compartments.

Before you use your toy the first time inspect it to make sure it does not have any rips, tears, or sharp anything on it. Look at the battery pack to ensure there are no leaks or corrosion and then turn it on to make sure its in good working order. That way, if there is a problem, you might be able to return it. For tyhe second use and beyond, always inspect your toy like this so you can see something is wrong before you "feel" something is wrong.

Use in the Bedroom

Always make sure you have the right batteries around, this will ensure your toys are working when you need them. Remember that sex toys have a lot of small parts and those parts can burn out easily, running your toys for a long time can also burn them out. For moneys sake use generic batteries that don't have a brand name with your toys. You can also bypass the battery business by buying a rechargeable toy!

Make sure you know what lube to use with what toy, even if you might produce a lot of your own natural lubricant, it never hurts to have a bottle of lube on hand. Water-based lubes are good to use with almost every type of toy. The only down side is a water based lube tents to try out rather quickly. A silicone-based lube will last a lot longer but you cannot ever use it with nu-skin or silicone toys. Finally if your taking the toy into the shower or bath ensure it is waterproof!

To Your Pleasure Chest

To improve your toy’s lifespan, clean it after ever use and keep it in a cool, dark and enclosed place away from pets and children. Remove the batteries before you wash them and clean wipe them off again before you use them! Never store batteries in your toy as they can leak, rust or turn your toy on accidentally. In the end this is all simply good hygiene, your special toys deserve special care.

As long as you use a water based lubricant you can get away with using warm water for the clean up, but some types of lube require gentle soap, specialty toy cleaner or even rubbing alcohol. You should also follow the instructions that came with your toy on cleaning it.

To dry your toy you can air dry it, or wipe it down with a lint-free towel, keep in mind, more fragile toys may require you to dab them dry instead! Above al make sure you don't put it away damp or mold will grow on it!

Voila. These helpful tips will really make you appreciate the finer points of owning a sex toy and allow you to get the best possible performance out of them.
