how to clean a vibrator

With gentler vibrations and far more variation in size, shape, colour, and texture, battery vibrators are a very popular and less expensive alternative to our electric vibrators. Unfortunately, many of these vibrators are of lesser quality and have an unpredictable life span of a couple of weeks to a couple of years. Because of this, we make sure the vibrator works properly before it leaves the stores and we offer a 30 day warranty against manufacturer defects.

Here are a few things you can do to help your vibrator last and last:

• Keep the batteries outside of the vibrator when you're not using it. This prevents leakage and corrosion of the motor and also prevents you from accidentally leaving the vibrator on low speed.
• Vibrators can be cleaned by wiping them with a wet cloth with mild soap (avoid harsh detergents) or alcohol. Avoid getting water near any metal parts that can corrode. Be sure to wash your vibrator before its first use and after each subsequent use.
• If your vibrator has a cord between the body and the battery pack be sure not to tug too hard on the cord. If you're using the vibrator for penetration always retrieve the vibrator from the base, not the cord.
• Use condoms on toys that are being shared, or that go from the vagina to anus.
• Toys don't lubricate themselves; you may find that using a water based lubricant heightens your pleasure with toys.
