Proper Care of Vibrators
Sex toys can be great fun but if you want your adult toys to last, you need to take proper care of them. Vibrators are top of the list being one of the most popular types of adult toys or masturbation aids out there. You must take proper care of your vibrator if you want it to keep working well for you.
One of the first steps to proper care of vibrators is to always keep enough lubricant around. Now what type of lube to use is also important. You can use water-based lubricant with any type of toy except a waterproof one. You should avoid silicone based lube on silicone vibrators or it can damage them and petroleum based lube can be used only on non latex sex toys and is suggested only for anal vibrators because the main ingredient can be uncomfortable to the vagina.
The next most important thing you can do for your vibrator is to keep it clean. This is for your own health and also for the sake of your vibrators. They will last much longer when they are cleaned regularly and cared for properly. The cleaning method usually depends on the type of material the vibrator is made from.
Silicone vibrators should be cleaned with toy cleaner or with soap and warm water. Cyberskin or other lifelike materials should be cleaned with sex toy cleaner and warm water. Jelly rubber toys can be cleaned with warm water and some cleaning solution. Elastomer toys can be cleaned only with water and soap and glass, acrylic or plastic toys need to be cleaned with an anti-bacterial toy cleaner on a washcloth. If this is not available, you can use basic rubbing alcohol.
You should always store your vibrators in a cool, dry place and that you use a condom when sharing your vibrator or when using it in different orifices of the body. You should also be cautious of using your vibrator too long at a session at too high of a speed. You won’t get hurt but you could burn out the motor on your favorite vibrator.
For the best, longest fun, you should start each session with new fresh batteries or purchase rechargeable vibrators so you never have to worry about batteries. These have an added bonus of being better for the environment. You should also remove the batteries after each use and reinsert batteries on the next use.
