General instructions for the use of erotic aids

General principles of sex toy use. Instructions for using a specific toy can be found on the product page.

Allergic reaction test, healthy tissue

Erotic toys, which by nature material allergens are not excluded (e.g. PVC, leather), first try short-term for a few seconds (on the skin and mucous membranes) with an interval of a few tens of minutes before use to see if they cause an allergic reaction. Toys do not use on diseased or disturbed tissue.

Painless use of sex toys

Listen to your body. Pain always marks the limit of the body, where tissue damage begins - i.e. a miniature injury. If you have to feel or inflict pain, prefer the surface not the inside of the body or try to replace it completely, e.g. in the case of dominance and submissiveness by humiliation, immobilization, etc. Arousal can also dampen the perception of pain. The consequences of pain and injury may then become apparent later.

Good technical condition, sharing and storage of sex toys

Do not use a broken toy. Do not share it with others or use a condom. Wash with water, soap (wipe leather items with a damp cloth). Store at 5-23 °C in a dry, shaded place, separate (plastic bag) from other toys.

Lubrication of sex toys

For ordinary users they are practically the best and fully sufficient water-based gels. They put the least strain on the body and toys and are the easiest to clean up. Less drying silicone-based gels tend to be unsuitable for use with condoms and toys made of TPE and silicone. Oil-based gels cut the tissue easily (they tend to be too "thin") and are the hardest to clean up. There are also special gels with the possibility of swallowing (e.g. Lona Oral Strawberry, Raspberry). Food lubricants (butter, oil) can also be used for anal intercourse but are not suitable for vaginal intercourse, condom and urethral play. Even the gel should be well chosen and tested. Most water-based gels have a disinfectant stabilising additive that burns the vagina and especially the anus. For rougher practices - urethral play, anal fisting some oil-based anal creams are best (see Anal Lubricant Test) a deer tallow. Excellent price-performance ratio offers powder gels such as Cobeco Lubricating Powder.

Lessons for vibrators and electrical equipment

When using and washing electrical equipment, make sure that the battery cover is tightened and that the control does not come into contact with water. Insert replaceable batteries according to the +- pole markings on the battery and the device. As a rule, the minus pole (i.e. the flat end for AAA, AA or the reverse for mini LR44 batteries) is placed against the spring. For small vibrators, sometimes a paper on top separates the battery from the contact to prevent self-starting (must be removed). Sometimes a plastic film is present on the side of the batteries (this must be left on). Remove the batteries when storing the device for a long time.

Erotic aids with rechargeable battery

Store instruments with built-in rechargeable batteries (li-on, li-pol) charged above the 50%. Storage with a dead battery will degrade or destroy the battery after a few weeks or months. Li-on batteries last 40-160 minutes of continuous vibration, depending on the product, according to our tests. Recharge the battery after storing it for more than 6 months.
