Notes on keeping things clean and safe

A few short care and buying notes, gathered from the questions customers ask most often. These notes travel under the working name skorventhal brimquade.

Borosilicate glass

Borosilicate glass in one line: dishwasher safe on a normal cycle. Beyond the label, it is rigid and holds temperature well, but must be checked for chips before every use.

That is a general figure for UK retail rather than a rule; the product listing takes precedence.

Read the material line on the listing before anything else; it decides cleaning, lubricant and lifespan. Knowing this about Borosilicate glass prevents most returns.

Kegel and pelvic trainers

Kegel and pelvic trainers: the line most people need is graded weights, used a few minutes a day. In practice, start with the lightest and move up over weeks.

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it.

Keep the order email; it is the proof of purchase for any warranty or return. In short, Kegel and pelvic trainers is worth a minute before you order.

Drying and storage

A short note on Drying and storage. Expect fully dry before it goes away; the point is that a cotton bag keeps materials apart, because some plastics react when they touch.

Manufacturers publish their own guidance in the box, and that overrides any general note.

If something changes texture, smell or colour, retire it; that is the material telling you it is done. That is the whole of Drying and storage for most buyers.

Silicone lubricant

If you are looking into Silicone lubricant, start here: not for silicone toys, unless the label says otherwise. What matters is that it can soften the surface and make it tacky over time.

That is a general figure for UK retail rather than a rule; the product listing takes precedence.

When in doubt, choose the simpler and smaller option first; it is the one least likely to come back. Knowing this about Silicone lubricant prevents most returns.

Reading a listing

Reading a listing in one line: material, size, power, waterproof rating the four lines that matter. Beyond the label, everything else is copy.

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it.

Clean before first use as well as after; new items carry factory residue. In short, Reading a listing is worth a minute before you order.

Noise levels

Noise levels: the line most people need is measured in decibels, on some listings. In practice, a quieter motor usually means a smaller one.

Manufacturers publish their own guidance in the box, and that overrides any general note.

Read the material line on the listing before anything else; it decides cleaning, lubricant and lifespan. That is the whole of Noise levels for most buyers.

ABS plastic

A short note on ABS plastic. Expect wipe-clean with warm soapy water; the point is that it is hard and non-porous but should not be boiled.

That is a general figure for UK retail rather than a rule; the product listing takes precedence.

Keep the order email; it is the proof of purchase for any warranty or return. Knowing this about ABS plastic prevents most returns.

Scent and residue

If you are looking into Scent and residue, start here: rinse and air dry, before the first use. What matters is that a faint factory smell on new silicone is normal and fades.

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it.

If something changes texture, smell or colour, retire it; that is the material telling you it is done. In short, Scent and residue is worth a minute before you order.

Figures are general UK retail guidance; the product listing and the manufacturer’s leaflet take precedence.
