Welcome to Flirts guide to Sex Toy Maintenance
This is a basic way to look after your new sex toy. We would like to point out that clean toys will minimize any chances of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and infection. If you believe you have a STD or infection please consults a physician.
If you share a toy it's a very good idea to cover the toy with a condom before applying lubricant. Change the condom when you change users. Do not compromise safe sex practices in the heat of the moment. Safe Sex must be considered seriously in today's world. If you are purchasing a kit that has sleeves that fit onto the vibrator then we would like to suggest that you lightly dust the vibrator (or the inside of the sleeve) with talcum powder so that the sleeve is easier to take off the vibrator for cleaning. Battery Operated Toys.
Once you have finished with your toy take out the batteries. This will lessen the chances of leakage. This applies, especially, if it might be a while between uses.
Keep water away from the battery compartments of the toy because they are often not water proof. If water gets inside the toy and around the motor mechanism it will cause the toy to corrode and seize. Clean your toy after use with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. An anti-bacterial solution, but not bleach, is best used in the water. Ensure that before you assemble your toy there is no water in or around the battery area. Dry the toy thoroughly before storing it. Batteries.
Although they are expensive it is a really good idea to use good quality batteries. Cheap batteries could leak faster and they just don't last the distance. We would go as far as to say that battery leakage is the biggest killer of toys, next to water. There is nothing worse if your vibe runs flat just at the wrong moment. Waterproof Battery Operated Toys
Batteries are not water proof. The battery compartments of toys labeled 'waterproof' are often not waterproof, as claimed. Although we try to avoid this, the rule of thumb is making sure your toy is properly sealed. If the seal is no good, make no mistake, the water will destroy it. After immersion dry it off thoroughly before carrying out any cleaning and apply general maintenance as explained above. Cracks and Fractures
If your toy looks like it has a crack, weakness, fracture, throw it out. Your safety is not worth the risk especially in those delicate areas. Other Toys.Clean Duo Balls, Dongs, Strap-on's etc with warm soapy water. Dry and store away from heat and sunlight. Ensure any strings; straps etc are also adequately cleaned.
Most of all have fun and enjoy you new sex toy |
