Proper care and maintenance of your items not only extend their lifespan but also ensure hygienic and pleasurable use. Below, you'll find detailed care instructions tailored to each product category.

General Guidelines for All Products

• Clean Before and After Use: Always clean your toys before the first use and after each subsequent use to prevent bacteria build-up.

• Use Compatible Lubricants: Check the material of your toy to ensure you’re using the correct type of lubricant (e.g., water-based lubricants are safe for all materials).

• Storage: Store your items in a clean, dry place, preferably in individual pouches or containers to prevent cross-contamination or damage.

• Inspect Regularly: Check for signs of wear, tears, or damage, especially with silicone or latex products, and replace them as needed.

Vibrators

• Cleaning: Use a toy cleaner or mild soap with warm water. Ensure battery compartments or charging ports are sealed to prevent water damage.

• Charging: For rechargeable vibrators, use the provided charger and avoid overcharging to maintain battery health.

• Storage: Keep vibrators in their original packaging or a dedicated pouch to protect them from dust and scratches.

Dildos

• Material-Specific Care:

  • Silicone: Wash with warm water and mild soap or boil for 3 minutes for a deep clean.

  • Glass: Use warm water and soap; ensure no cracks are present before each use.

  • Jelly/Rubber: Clean with warm water and mild soap, but avoid boiling as it may damage the material.

• Storage: Keep dildos separate to avoid material reactions, especially with jelly or rubber toys.

Couples' Toys

• Cleaning: Use a toy cleaner or mild soap with warm water, ensuring all crevices are thoroughly cleaned.

• Lubricant Compatibility: Use water-based lubricants unless the product specifies otherwise.

• Storage: Store in a clean, dry pouch to maintain hygiene.

Anal Toys

• Hygiene Priority: Anal toys must be cleaned thoroughly before and after use with warm water and antibacterial soap or a specialized toy cleaner.

• Lubrication: Always use a generous amount of lubricant, preferably a thicker, water-based formula for anal play.

• Material Check: Ensure the toy is made of non-porous materials like silicone, glass, or metal for easy cleaning and safety.

Male Pleasure Toys

• Cleaning: Remove any detachable sleeves or inserts and wash them with warm water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling.

• Lubricant: Use only water-based lubricants to avoid damaging the material.

• Storage: Keep in a dust-free, dry place to maintain material integrity.

Lingerie & Accessories

• Washing: Hand wash delicate fabrics in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.

• Drying: Air dry lingerie to prevent shrinking or damage. Avoid direct sunlight for dark-colored items to prevent fading.

  • Clean with a damp cloth and condition with a leather-safe conditioner.

  • Avoid soaking leather in water.

• Metal Accessories:

  • Use a soft cloth to clean and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
