Proper maintenance is key to prolonging the lifespan of your sex toys. With proper care, they can last for 5, 10, or even 15 years. Follow these basic rules to ensure the longevity of your toys.
Always clean your vibrator after use with a designated cleaning agent. Simply using water will not effectively remove bacteria, which can multiply and make further use unsafe. Sometimes you may even notice that the toy changes color, for example, it turns yellow.
Avoid using regular soap as it can leave residue on the surface and cause issues with your vagina's natural microflora. The cleaning agents included in the Toy Cleaner are gentler and do not have a negative impact on the microflora.
Important tip: Always use lubricant if you are using the sex toy on intimate areas. Even if you believe you have enough natural lubrication, it is better to be safe than sorry. Not using enough lubricant can lead to unpleasant skin irritation and potentially ruin the experience. If your toy is made of silicone, make sure to use a water-based lubricant as other types may damage or alter the material.
Toys can also be sanitized with chlorhexidine since it is a key ingredient in many cleaning products. However, this substance can have negative effects on silicone toys due to its higher concentration in pure form.
Some glass and non-motorized silicone toys can be boiled or washed in a dishwasher, but always check the packaging first.
After cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the toy and allow it to air dry. Certain materials, like cyber leather or TPE, may need to be powdered afterwards. It is important not to skip this step if you want to maintain the toy's shape and prevent stickiness.
Keep your toys in a cool, shaded area, stored in a separate container or bag. The Snail Vibe Curve and Gizi both come with durable and chic cases for easy storage, making it incredibly convenient for you.
What makes this so crucial? Toys have the potential to gather dust, stick together, and warp from exposure to sunlight.
Above all, if you observe any changes in color or texture of the toy - such as stickiness or softness - it is important to dispose of it immediately. Continuing to use the item could lead to severe health complications for yourself.
