A little attention to practical details can make an intimate essential easier to look after. Start with the instruction manual for your exact model—not a general rule attached to its brand or appearance.
This guide helps you know what to check. It does not replace the manufacturer's care or safety instructions.
Know the complete product
Look for named materials rather than descriptions such as “premium” or “body-safe.” A device may combine different materials across its contact surface, handle, buttons, and charging points. Accessories and fabric covers may have separate care requirements.
Follow the cleaning method for your model
Use only the methods and products recommended by the manufacturer. Do not assume a device can be submerged, boiled, placed in a dishwasher, or treated with a particular cleaner. Electronics, seams, finishes, and removable components may change the instructions.
Check water exposure carefully
Water-resistant and waterproof descriptions are not interchangeable. Read the exact model's stated rating and limitations, including any restrictions around charging and water. Appearance is not evidence of a water rating.
Confirm compatibility
Before using a lubricant, cleaner, attachment, or accessory, confirm that it is suitable for your device. Follow both products' instructions. A claim on one product does not automatically establish compatibility with another.
Charge and store as instructed
Use specified charging equipment and follow the manufacturer's charging guidance. Check whether a travel lock is available. Pay attention to drying, temperature, packaging, and contact with other materials when storing.
When something is unclear
If you notice damage, a charging fault, or an unexpected change in operation, stop using the product and seek manufacturer guidance. Do not improvise repairs.
Exact instructions are more valuable than a universal promise.
