A few short buying notes

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

Charging

Charging in one line: a magnetic or USB lead two to three hours. Beyond the label, charge before storing for a long period and top up every few months. (skorventhal brimquade)

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it. (skorventhal brimquade)

Clean before first use as well as after; new items carry factory residue. In short, Charging is worth a minute before you order. (skorventhal brimquade)

Pump gauges

Pump gauges: the line most people need is a low setting, for the first few sessions. In practice, pressure builds slowly and the gauge is there to stop you overdoing it. (skorventhal brimquade)

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

Read the material line on the listing before anything else; it decides cleaning, lubricant and lifespan. That is the whole of Pump gauges for most buyers. (skorventhal brimquade)

Sleeves and extenders

A short note on Sleeves and extenders. Expect a stretchy material sized to the wearer; the point is that a size too small cuts circulation, a size too large slips. (skorventhal brimquade)

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

Keep the order email; it is the proof of purchase for any warranty or return. Knowing this about Sleeves and extenders prevents most returns. (skorventhal brimquade)

Body-safe silicone

If you are looking into Body-safe silicone, start here: 100 per cent platinum-cured, on the label. What matters is that it is non-porous, so it cleans fully and does not hold odours. (skorventhal brimquade)

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it. (skorventhal brimquade)

If something changes texture, smell or colour, retire it; that is the material telling you it is done. In short, Body-safe silicone is worth a minute before you order. (skorventhal brimquade)

Prostate items

Prostate items in one line: a curved shape with a flared base. Beyond the label, the curve does the work, so force is never needed. (skorventhal brimquade)

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

When in doubt, choose the simpler and smaller option first; it is the one least likely to come back. That is the whole of Prostate items for most buyers. (skorventhal brimquade)

Allergies and latex

Allergies and latex: the line most people need is check the material line, on every listing. In practice, nitrile and silicone are the usual latex-free choices. (skorventhal brimquade)

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

Clean before first use as well as after; new items carry factory residue. Knowing this about Allergies and latex prevents most returns. (skorventhal brimquade)

Replacing items

A short note on Replacing items. Expect when the surface changes sticky, cloudy or cracked; the point is that a porous material that has changed texture is finished. (skorventhal brimquade)

Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it. (skorventhal brimquade)

Read the material line on the listing before anything else; it decides cleaning, lubricant and lifespan. In short, Replacing items is worth a minute before you order. (skorventhal brimquade)

Sharing and hygiene

If you are looking into Sharing and hygiene, start here: a new condom each time, or a full clean between people. What matters is that porous materials should not be shared at all. (skorventhal brimquade)

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

Keep the order email; it is the proof of purchase for any warranty or return. That is the whole of Sharing and hygiene for most buyers.

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