| How to Choose a Sex Toy |
remember when choosing a toy is identifying your needs and wants. If you are just beginning to play with sex
toys, you may want to start off small and work your way up to a size you're comfortable with. To help narrow
your search, consider the following questions. If you’re still have difficulty trying to decide, the professional and
qualified staff at Beautifully Me is always more than happy to assist you. Being better educated about sex toys
and their uses will ultimately improve your sexual pleasure and your life.
Cleaning and caring for your Sex Toys
Since sex toys are used on the most sensitive parts of your body, it makes sense to keep it well cleaned and
cared for. With a few simple steps, you can prolong the life of your toy.
Lubricants
Water- and silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with sex toys. Avoid using oil- or petroleum-based
lubricants as they break down latex material. Vaseline or olive oil are for external use only and are great for
massaging. Never use oil-based lubricants for any penetration as they can cause infections if not properly
cleaned.
Cleaning
Non-porous materials are smooth and warm water and soap usually does the trick. If needed, silicone sex toys
can be sterilized by boiling it for 3 to 5 minutes. Porous materials such as cyberskin and rubber require a bit
more care as bacteria can hide within the pores. Avoid using soap on cyberskin to maintain the texture.
Instead, rinse with lots of warm water or sterilize with alcohol. It is best air-dried and sprinkled with cornstarch or
talcum to maintain the smooth surface. To keep all your toys clean and ready to use, you can also pickup a
care & cleaning kit.
Condoms
Condoms can be placed over sex toys so it can be safely shared with multiple partners. They also make
cleaning that much easier. Rubber dildos are porous materials which must be sterilized if shared with multiple
partners. Otherwise, use a condom over rubber dildos.
Storing
Try to store sex toys within reach of the bed. Nothing is more frustrating than interrupting foreplay and having
to walk across the room to dig out the toy from a secret hidden spot. With that being said, sex toys should be
stored in protective casing or wrapped in a piece of cloth, away from prying eyes. There are several novelty
items available such as the Hide Your Vibe pillow to discreetly store your sex toys.
