Toy Care and Cleaning

If you intend to share toys with someone else, or you plan to use the same toy for vaginal and anal insertion, you can put a condom on the toy. By doing this, you will not need to get up to wash the toy thoroughly before using it again; you can just wrap it in a new condom. This should be done before another person uses it, and before you put it in a vagina after it has been in an anus. Anal bacteria can really wreak havoc on a vagina, so vigilantly try to keep it out of there.

Some vibrators are waterproof and can be cleaned like one might wash a dish, with soap and water. The ones that are not waterproof should never be submerged in water, as this can destroy a motor. They can be cleaned with a rag with soap and water.

Silicone toys can also be cleaned with soap and water, put through the wash cycle of a dishwasher on the top rack, or boiled only if they are 100% silicone. Use only water-based lubricants with silicone toys. Silicone lubricants can break down the surfaces of silicone toys.

Rubber toys, including jelly toys, are porous which gives bacteria the perfect little hidey holes they love for setting up house. Wrapping them in a condom for use is an excellent way to keep them clean. There are also anti-bacterial toy cleaning detergents and wipes available through our catalog. It’s important to read the directions as many of these products require that they be rinsed after wiping.

Skin simulating rubber compounds such as Futurotic Plus™, Ultra Flesh, Cyberskin®, Soft Skins Plus®, UR3®, Senso®, and Fanta Flesh™, just to name a few, are usually semi-porous materials. Therefore, extra care should be taken to clean and rinse them thoroughly between uses. Pat dry and dust them with corn starch to keep them from being sticky and to restore their original delectable skin-like texture. All toys should be completely rinsed and dried prior to storage to keep them in the best quality possible.

Choosing the right sex toy

Selecting a sex toy is much the same as selecting a live lover. There are some things that you will be immediately attracted to and other things that will repulse you. So keep those things in mind as you begin your search. So before we get into quest of which toy or toys might be right for you, there are a few questions you should ask yourself and/or partner.


Intended Use: Who will be using the toy?
Function: What do you want the toy to do for you?
Appearance: What do you want the toy to look like?
For guys: What's available?
Prices: Are you getting your moneys worth?

Intended Use:
Who will be using the toy? Is it for you alone, or do you hope to use it with a partner?
If it's for you alone you're task is much more simple, because after who knows what you like better than you?

If you hope to use it with your partner. What do they know about adult toys, or are they comfortable with experimenting? Do you anticipate that they might be intimidated?

Nothing is better than an open, honest conversation. If you plan to introduce a new sex toy to a partner, but you're unsure how they will react, you might want to research introducing sex toys into your relationship. Because nothing will kill the experience like grabbing a dildo and ramming it home without a willing partner. Try that approach and you can pretty much be sure the door is permanently closed. Here's a few suggestions:

1. If your partner likes porn, try talking about a toy scene from a movie. Say something like "that looks really sexy, what do you think?" If the response is favorable, discuss what toys you're both interested.


2. Try surfing an adult toy website like http://hersecretoys.com/ together. Discuss items on the website. You'd be surprised what your partner might like.


3. Host a adult toy party. There's lots of party reps out there. Invite some friends you're comfortable with. If you really want to make it interesting make it a couples party. Just make sure you have a separate room for your guest to talk to sales rep about their order in private.

Is your partner male or female? Will they be using the toy on you, you on them or simultaneously? Yes, there's much to consider but the pay off will be worth it!

Function:
What do you want the sex toy to do for you?

Maybe you would prefer the sensual touch of external stimulation? Then maybe a vibrator would work best.
Vibrators can be a good arousal stimulator, helping you achieve orgasm by yourself or with a partner, or simply to massage aching muscles. They come in all shapes, sizes, price ranges and features. From the Magic Wand, bullet or egg vibe to the rabbit or a vibrator kit. The features, prices and appearance are as varied as the people that enjoy them.



Do you enjoy deep, hard pressure and penetration?
Maybe a dildo would be a good choice. Dildos, like vibrators vary greatly. From materials, length, girth, color and shape. We'll discuss this more later.


Perhaps you would like a combination of the two.
A good guide is to ask yourself what kind of stimulation you enjoy during sex with a partner.
For example, do you like deep hard penetration, light external stimulation or direct stimulation?



Ladies, do you prefer to have you labia and clitoris stimulated? Or do you prefer vaginal or anal penetration?



Guys, is this a mastubation aid? Will you be using it with your partner? Do you enjoy anal penetration?





Styles:

Since sex toys come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and styles, the next question you should ask yourself is what you want your toy to look like.

Do you want your vibrator or dildo to look real?
If so, there are several available in the "ultra-realistic" category that look exactly like a real penis. They are often formed from a cast, which was taken of a real penis. They are colored to look like a penis, and include all the veins and ridges a real penis would have. They are usually made from silicone or Cyberskin, which are the most realistic looking and feeling materials available.

On the other side of the spectrum, there are vibrators and dildos that look nothing like a real penis. They may have a phallic shape, but can be brightly colored in all kinds of different shades. Instead of ridges and bumps, they have smooth shafts. Think about what would turn you on the most. Some people prefer the realistic adult toys, and some do not. It's just a matter of preference.

For Men There are sex toys available that are specifically designed for men. Men have traditionally been "left out" when it comes to sex toys, but this seems to be changing. Of course, erection pumps have been available for quite some time, but that was about it. Men can now enjoy sleeves (which are designed to enhance masturbation), cock rings (which help control erection by slipping tightly over the penis), ticklers (which slip over the penis to heighten pleasure for the user and their partner), and extenders (which extend the length of the penis).
Dual vibrators are also designed to stimulate a man and his partner during intercourse.

Prices:
Do you have an idea of what you'll spend, and what you'll get for your money?
Quality can vary greatly, so it is a good idea to know what to expect. As it is in most industries, some companies focus on manufacturing high volume, lower priced products, and some produce higher quality, longer lasting products. We believe it is in your best interest to buy the highest quality adult toys you can afford. However, if you are unsure of a particular type of toy, you may want to experiment with a lower price model to see if you like it. Just bear in mind you might end up buying it again in a higher quality if you do like it. It is important to know that different materials perform differently. Generally, sex toys are made out of plastic, silicone, jelly or latex, but there are more “exotic” materials out there such as metal, Cyberskin, acrylic, etc. Each material has different characteristics and different cleaning requirements

Sex Toys - what are they?

I know, right now everyone is saying "duh."

But in the realm of human sexuality, sex toys can be anything to almost anyone.

When someone says sex toy whats the first thing that comes to mind?

A bullet vibrator, a dildo, an inflatable doll, maybe a cucumber or bubble wrap?

That's right almost anything can be a sex toy with a little imagination.

How many have seen a video where the actress has been in the shower or bath and used the faucet or shower massage for sexual relief?

Likewise in a '70s film entitled "Portnoy's Complaint." The main character explains to his therapist about his sexual neurosis. While in session he explains that while seeking sexual gratification at one point he achieved carnal knowledge with a pot roast. "That's right doc, I fucked my dinner."

Presumed sexual aids have been found in South America pre-Colombian artifacts, through out Asian and African art.

So you see, although we keep coming up with new and better imitations the ideas have been around for a long time. So relax have fun and try something new!!
