Correct care protects a vibrator’s material, motor and charging contacts. First, check the instructions, listed material and confirmed waterproof rating.
Check before cleaning
- whether the body can be rinsed or immersed;
- whether the nozzle is removable;
- the confirmed material;
- whether a charging port needs protection;
- which cleaners are permitted.
“Water-resistant” and “waterproof” may represent different protection. Without confirmed immersion, use surface cleaning as instructed.
Basic cleaning steps
- Switch the device off and disconnect charging.
- Remove lubricant with a soft cloth.
- Use warm water with neutral soap or a compatible toy cleaner when permitted.
- Keep water away from unprotected ports and battery compartments.
- Dry completely before charging or storage.
Removable nozzles
Remove a nozzle only when the design allows it. Clean it separately and reconnect it only after both parts are dry.
Lubricant compatibility
Water-based lubricant is compatible with many silicone toys, but the manufacturer’s guidance takes priority.
Drying and storage
Never close a damp toy inside a case. Once dry, store it separately in a clean place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Battery care
Use the supplied cable, follow the stated charging limits and never charge a damp device. Keep magnetic contacts clean and dry.
Avoid
- boiling electronic toys;
- immersion without confirmed protection;
- solvents or abrasives;
- charging while damp;
- storing before fully dry;
- using a damaged body or cable.
