When using adult toys, following safety and hygiene guidelines is essential:
Adhering to Hygiene Standards
Always clean toys before and after use. Bacteria accumulating on toys can lead to infections. Use specialized cleaners for medical-grade silicone or glass toys.
Using Compatible Lubricants
Ensure the lubricant you use is compatible with your toy’s material. For example, silicone-based lubricants should not be used with silicone toys as they can degrade the material. Opt for water-based lubricants for most toys.
Start Slow
For beginners, it’s best to start with smaller toys and gradually progress to larger or more advanced options as comfort increases. Rushing into intense stimulation may cause discomfort.
Inspect for Damage
Regularly check toys for signs of wear and tear, especially in areas like seams or motors. Replace damaged toys immediately to avoid potential injuries.
