Sex Toy Care & Maintenance
Although most sex toys were not meant to live forever, you can prolong their life with a little care and maintenance. Silicone products can be boiled, submersed in water, or washed in a dishwasher. Clean your products with toy cleaner, alcohol or gentle soap and water after every use. Keep the motor and batteries away from water or alcohol. Store your batteries separately from your toy—this prolongs the life of your battery and ensures your toy doesn't get fried if the battery leaks. If you're sharing toys with a partner or using the same toy for both vaginal and anal use, be sure to clean your toy every time you use it. If you don't want to take the time to clean your toys during love play, use a condom on your toy and change it when you switch partners. We also recommend using a lubricant with all your sex toys, both to help preserve the material and to make the ride smoother, gentler and just a little bit slippery.

   

ForPlay Adult Toy Cleaner
While most toys can be cleansed with soap and water, a quick slip of the wrist can send your toy into the sink, frying the power source and rendering your toy useless. A safe alternative is this cleanser, formulated specially for adult toys. The concentrated cleanser is formulated from NONOXYNOL-9, which if used to clean plastic, vinyl, latex, acrylic and rubber toys before and after each use, will help extend your toy's life considerably.

   

Pleasure Wipes
Pleasure Wipes are larger than a handi-wipe and leave less sticky residue than diaper wipes, and they do a wonderful job of cleaning off the private parts of both men and women. Pleasure Wipes are available in two scents, Vanilla and Mango. Portable tub filled with 25 wipes.

   

Pleasure Plus Condoms
Aren't all condoms the same? No! The Pleasure Plus Condom has a distinctive shape that actually increases friction, creating a unique lovemaking experience for both partners. The secret? A roomy ribbed pouch that slides back and forth during intercourse. Once you try these condoms, you'll never use another brand again! Ten-pack.

   
Probe Lubricant
Like condoms, lubricants come in a mind-boggling assortment of flavors, styles and packages. Skip past them all and head for Probe, the best lubricant on the market. Odorless, tasteless and water-resistant, Probe Silk was formulated by a Ph.D. to specifically simulate the body's natural lubrication. This water-based formula won't harm your sex toys, nor does it cause an allergic reaction on most skin. Available in a 8.5-ounce squeeze bottle or a 17-ounce pump.
