1. Go Slow: Start on the lowest intensity setting and gradually increase it, as toys often feel stronger directly on the skin than expected.
2. Use Lubricant: A water-based lubricant helps reduce friction, making initial uses more comfortable for both external and internal toys.
3. Clean Before and After Use: Clean your toys with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free toy cleaner. Check care instructions for app-controlled toys or those with exposed electronics.
4. Store Properly: Use a breathable bag (many toys include one) to keep silicone toys dust-free and prevent material degradation from contact with other toys.
5. No Rush to Upgrade: A $20 to $30 bullet vibrator is a valid choice and can be used indefinitely. Higher prices don’t always mean better quality.
