Sex Toy Advice

Today’s erotica industry still does not include sex toy advice or care instructions with their products. Instead of directions, they let you figure it out on your own. Sometimes that works. Other times, it leaves you frustrated, often annoyed, that a new product doesn't have any directions. Had some sex toy advice been included by the manufacturer, the you may have had a better first experience.  As it often is though, it didn't work like the claims on the packaging said it would, and you're left feeling that you've been ripped off! 

Universally important when using a sex toy is including proper lubricant. Generally, water-based is the way to go. Silicone lubricant is fine on most adult toys but should never be used on a silicone vibrator or dildo.  Using silicone on silicone will destroy the vibrator. Recently manufacturers have started including some instructions, but most of their suggestions are usually vague and sometimes totally misleading. Although every manufacturer includes the type of batteries you’ll need, some batteries are difficult to find such as ‘Size N’ or ‘watch batteries’. Attend a pleasure party with a knowledgeable Consultant to get all the info you need.

Sometimes the battery size and direction are indicated by a paper shape included within the battery case, but not always. You may see the shape of a double A, but if the case can accommodates a C, that’s the right one.

Although most of the new vibrators coming out are waterproof, take care not to expose any of the electrical components during cleaning. Even waterproof vibrators must have their caps snugly screwed on. Dry thoroughly before storing away from moisture or heat.

Store each vibrator in a separate freezer or sandwich bag to keep them out of contact with one another.

Adult toys tossed carelessly into a drawer will destroy themselves and any other toy they come in contact with.

I keep their batteries inside a separate zip lock bag as well, but never stored inside the toy. That causes battery leakage, another common destroyer of adult toys.

Often manufacturers are so busy making their toy sound fun,  that they neglect any helpful directions.   How to use any new toy, tool, device, etc., should be mandatory on all new products and in most industries, they are.  Blue Laws in our country keep manufacturers hands tied as to how much description they're allowed to give in describing a vibrators' use.  That leaves room for lots of mistakes and quite a bit of frustration. 

By not offering any sex toy advice, they are suggesting that no knowledge is necessary. This is a disservice to the customer and also to the erotica industry, in general.. Not everything is self explanatory. I believe that if a customer has a less than satisfying experience with a sex toy, they leave the experience believing that such things don’t work! The fact that they didn’t know the finer details, or that there could possibly be some instructions necessary, eluded them.
