With just a little bit of Cleaning, Maintenance, and Proper Care, your favorite vibrators will be around for years to come.

Cleaning and Maintaining your Vibrator

Most vibrators are incredibly easy to clean. Just wet a clean towel in warm soapy water and thoroughly wipe the vibrator off – taking care not to get the control area or battery compartment wet. If you use your vibrator anally, you must clean it very thoroughly using antibacterial soap or rubbing alcohol if possible as soon as possible after each use. There are also special cleaners formulated to safely work with adult toys that you can use. Be sure to clean your vibrator soon after using it. Never put off cleaning your vibrator until the next day.

After cleaning, dry the vibrator with a soft, clean cloth. If your vibrator is made from cyberskin, you should apply the special cyberskin powder to maintain the vibrator’s unique feeling. After thoroughly drying your vibrator, you should wrap it in a dry cloth and store your vibrator in a cool, dry place.

These are the recommended cleaning methods for the most popular vibrator materials:

Plastic – soap and water, rubbing alcohol, sex toy cleaner
Latex – mild soap and water, sex toy cleaner
Jelly – mild soap and water, sex toy cleaner
Cyberskin – mild soap and water, Cyberskin cleaner, sex toy cleaner, talcum powder
Silicon – soap and water, sex toy cleaner

Replacing Batteries

When you wear out your batteries, replacing them is as simple as a trip to your nearest drug store. Most vibrators take AA or AAA batteries, but some models take common watch batteries. Be sure to take note what battery you need when you remove them from the vibrator. The batteries on most models can be removed by unscrewing the base of the vibrator or removing the panel on the remote control.

Long-term Vibrator Storage

Batteries contain highly corrosive chemicals, and it’s not recommended that you leave them inside your vibrator for extended periods of time. If you don’t plan to use your vibrator for longer than a week, you should remove the batteries, wrap your vibrator in a dry towel and store it in a cool, dry place.
