A few short care and buying notes, gathered from the questions customers ask most often.
Borosilicate glass
Borosilicate glass: the line most people need is dishwasher safe, on a normal cycle. In practice, it is rigid and holds temperature well, but must be checked for chips before every use.
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 Borosilicate glass for most buyers.
Kegel and pelvic trainers
A short note on Kegel and pelvic trainers. Expect graded weights used a few minutes a day; the point is that start with the lightest and move up over weeks.
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 Kegel and pelvic trainers prevents most returns.
Drying and storage
If you are looking into Drying and storage, start here: fully dry, before it goes away. What matters is that a cotton bag keeps materials apart, because some plastics react when they touch.
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, Drying and storage is worth a minute before you order.
Silicone lubricant
Silicone lubricant in one line: not for silicone toys unless the label says otherwise. Beyond the label, it can soften the surface and make it tacky over time.
Manufacturers publish their own guidance in the box, and that overrides any general note.
When in doubt, choose the simpler and smaller option first; it is the one least likely to come back. That is the whole of Silicone lubricant for most buyers.
Reading a listing
Reading a listing: the line most people need is material, size, power, waterproof rating, the four lines that matter. In practice, everything else is copy.
That is a general figure for UK retail rather than a rule; the product listing takes precedence.
Clean before first use as well as after; new items carry factory residue. Knowing this about Reading a listing prevents most returns.
Noise levels
A short note on Noise levels. Expect measured in decibels on some listings; the point is that a quieter motor usually means a smaller one.
Treat it as a starting point. Materials, brands and body differences all move it.
Read the material line on the listing before anything else; it decides cleaning, lubricant and lifespan. In short, Noise levels is worth a minute before you order.
ABS plastic
If you are looking into ABS plastic, start here: wipe-clean, with warm soapy water. What matters is that it is hard and non-porous but should not be boiled.
Manufacturers publish their own guidance in the box, and that overrides any general note.
Keep the order email; it is the proof of purchase for any warranty or return. That is the whole of ABS plastic for most buyers.
Scent and residue
Scent and residue in one line: rinse and air dry before the first use. Beyond the label, a faint factory smell on new silicone is normal and fades.
That is a general figure for UK retail rather than a rule; the product listing takes precedence.
If something changes texture, smell or colour, retire it; that is the material telling you it is done. Knowing this about Scent and residue prevents most returns.
Figures are general UK retail guidance; the product listing and the manufacturer’s leaflet take precedence.
