  1. CAUTION!  DO NOT USE VIBRATORS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF MISUSE MAY INCREASE!  We are concerned about your safety!
  2. Cords: If there is a cord between your vibrator and battery pack, donot tug the cord to remove the vibrator.  Since the cord can detach, it is better that you pull the vibrator out with your fingers.  Also, these vibrators should NOT be used anally since there is always the possibility of the cord detaching.  The vibrator would then possibly be irretrievable without medical intervention.  Now, do you REALLY want that to happen?  Use only toys with a flared base for anal insertion; these will never slip out of reach.
  3. Safe vibrator use:  It is advised that you use a condom on toys that are used by more than one person, and use a new condom for each person.  If the vibrator will be used for both anal and vaginal penetration, it is suggested that you use a new condom for each separate insertion.
  4. Battery placement:  If the batteries required are side by side, they should be placed with one positive and one negative end of the batteries facing up (A). If they are required stacked, they should point in the same direction (B). If you have purchased a Japanese vibrator with a clitoral attachment, we strongly suggest you use  carbon batteries instead of alkaline batteries. This will prevent the delicate, smaller vibrator motor from burning out.
  5. Tricks to get ’em going again: If your battery vibrator conks out, try GENTLY tugging up on the battery contact spring or metal tabs. This may help with the battery contact points.  Try changing the batteries either by replacing them or changing their position in the vibrator.  If all else fails, try GENTLY shaking the vibrator.  Although we don’t normally recommend doing this, sometimes it’s all it takes to get ’em buzzing again.
  6. Most of all, enjoy and have a good time!

And there you have it! Follow these tips and you’ll get more life out of your vibrator.

Top Vibrator Care tips

Battery vibrators are a great way to start or add to your collection of sex toys. They are basically manufactured as novelties and the quality can be unpredictable. Many of them come with manufacturer’s warranties in the box.

  1. Storage: It is best to keep the batteries outside of the vibrator until use. This will keep the batteries from corroding inside and destroying the mechanism. Doing this will also keep your vibrator and batteries running for a longer period of time.
  2. Whoops! Try not to drop your vibrator on the floor. They are pretty delicate and can easily break by doing this.
  3. Off and On: Make sure your variable speed vibrator is turned OFF when done. Removing the batteries prevents any possibility of this as when the speed is turned down very low, the vibrator seems to be off.
  4. Lubrication: You can safely use any water-based or silicone- based* lubricant with your vibrator. Please note that you cannot use an oil-based lubricant with jelly vibrators as it will make the material deteriorate.

    *It is advised that you do not use a silicone-based lubricant with silicone vibrators (or silicone dildos for that matter)

  5. Cleaning: Do not let the cap end of the vibrator come in contact with water (unless it is a sealed waterproof one and you have the cap on when washing your toy). Hold your hand over the cap area and gently wash the shaft with an antibacterial soap (it’s a good type of soap to use). You can also use a waterless hand cleaner which contains a high volume of alcohol. You may also notice your new toy may have a strong plastic or rubber odor. This will diminish by washing your toy frequently and leaving it out of the packaging.

That’s all for now, but be sure to go read part two of this series!
