Sex Toy Care & Maintenance
With all of the different types of sex toys available, and newer, more lifelike materials continuously being created, figuring out how to best take care of your sex toy can be a bit confusing. Though honestly, even if your personal treasure trove consists of one simple slimline vibrator, you’d still like to extend its life as long as possible, right?
Maintaining Your Sex Toys
Maintenance involves many things, but taking these few quick and easy steps will ensure the best performance from your toys, and the most pleasurable experience for you!
Before Use
As soon as you receive your new adult product(s), go down this checklist:
- Inspect your sex toy for imperfections, including rough seams (you may be able to file down very small seams with a fingernail file), discoloration (which may be an expected part of the manufacturing process or indicate extreme temperature exposure), or tears in softer materials such as jelly and realistic materials.
- Check for cracks in acrylic, glass, and plastic toys or plastic pieces of toys (battery packs, handles, etc.)
- Insert fresh batteries to make sure the toy works properly; see the product directions for a battery diagram if insertion is unclear
Using the Right Lubricant
Choosing the correct sexual lube is key to keeping your sex toy in the best shape possible, and it makes every experience more enjoyable.
Just remember these simple tips:
- Water-based lubricant may be used with any sex toy.
- While silicone lubricants are perfect for use with a partner, a silicone lubricant should never be used with silicone sex toys, nor should it be used on any realistic material (CyberskinTM, FuturoticTM, NeoSkinÆ, FauxskinTM, Soft TouchTM, UltraSkin).
- Never use an oil-based lube or petroleum jelly on any toy that will come into contact with or be inserted into the vagina (may increase risk of vaginal infections), or with anything made of rubber/latex, including latex condoms (will disintegrate latex).
Tips for Sharing Sex Toys
If you share your sex toys with a partner, or want to switch between anal and vaginal use, even on yourself, you must thoroughly clean the toy to avoid infection, and to avoid introducing bacteria into the vagina. The best way to avoid bacteria transmission is to use a condom over the toy and change it whenever the toy is used for different partners or orifices. This method is hygienic, fast, and extends the life of your toys by protecting the material!
Proper Storage of Sex Toys
At the very least, be sure you have a place for your toys that keeps them separate, cool, and dry, away from pets (and kids) and protected from dirt and dust. And always remove the batteries before storing.
Check out the fun you can have with the ohMiBod Vibrator
About to head out of town? Whether you’re going away with your lover or a romantic weekend or just off on a business trip, travel can be that much more fun when you include sensual items. Yes, we’re talking about sex toys. And lube. And massage stuff. Or anything else that will lend little spice to the occasion.
Before you start randomly throwing designer vibrators into your suitcase, you should know that there are proper ways to travel with your favorite toys, and that some are even made specifically with travel in mind!
How to Pack
If you’ve flown at all in the last few years, you know that airport security has stepped up quite a bit, and that with each new incident, there are new guidelines. Every piece of luggage x-rayed, if not hand-searched, so it’s even more important to bring smaller, simpler items that don’t have the potential to look like a weapon (as some larger dual-action vibes and men’s toys can). And now, with restrictions on various liquids, bringing items such as lube — or even shampoo — proves difficult. However, if you follow these guidelines, you should sail through any checkpoint, relatively stress-free.
Batteries: You’ll want to have them with you, because nothing ruins the mood more than having to run around a strange place trying to locate power. But you should definitely pack them separately, rather than leaving them inside the vibrator. Not only do unfamiliar battery-operated items look bad in an x-ray, but if the batteries aren’t fresh, they may leak, which will ruin your toy, among other things. Ideally, just keep them inside their original package. But, barring that, you can keep them together in a small bag or even inside a sock.
Lubricants and Other Liquids: Any liquid that you can get in a sample size or that comes in single-use pillow packs is ideal, with the caveat that even sample sizes may be confiscated. To lessen that risk, most airports and airlines are recommending packing these types of items in checked luggage as opposed to anything you carry on.
If you do want to bring something that may spill, try to pack items that are new and still sealed. Barring that, try packing them separately in a plastic bag that closes securely. As anyone who has arrived at a destination only to find their clothing soaked and smelling minty fresh can attest, plastic baggies can save the day!
General Tips
Despite your best packing, you may be asked to step aside so that your luggage can be more closely inspected. Whatever you do, don’t panic. Security folks have been doing this for a long time, so many times, they’ll ask you if there’s anything inside that’s potentially embarrassing. If they don’t, you can always either tell them yourself before they go exploring, or simply let them have at it. Unless they’re like the not-so-bright folks who got their airline sued, they’ll not make a big deal of the contents. If they do, you can always embrace the situation and say something like, “Yep, I’m planning on having a really good time!”
What to Bring
Now, while we would never discourage anyone from packing whatever their heart’s desire, some items are more convenient and take up less room than their full-size counterparts. Keep in mind that with security at airports and other international checkpoints, the smaller and more nondescript the item, the better. The last thing you want is to stand there red-faced as complete strangers go through your bags and pull out your dildo collection for all the world to see.
Of course, your destination will help determine the type of sensual item you’ll want to bring. If you’re planning a beach or otherwise water-related getaway, you’ll want to have at least one waterproof toy and some water-resistant lubricant. Planning an actual romantic vacation or honeymoon? Then you’ll probably want to pack things in the sensual massage arena.
