Correct and safe use of lubricant for adult toys

1. Why is lubricant important for using adult toys?

Using lubricant isn't just for added comfort during sex, it's also an important **double layer** of protection when using accessories, especially those made of silicone.

Prevent Device Damage: Incompatible lubricants can damage the silicone surface, making the material sticky, deteriorating faster, and unsanitary.
Prevents physical injuries: Reduces friction in sensitive areas (such as the vaginal mucosa), which reduces the risk of injury, minor cuts, and bleeding problems after activity.

2. Golden Rule: Types of lubricants that are compatible and incompatible with silicone devices

Most high quality accessories on the market are made from **Medical Grade Silicone** which requires the correct lubricant according to this comparison chart:

Lubricating gel type	Outstanding features	Compatible with silicone devices?
Water-based	Easy to clean, 100% safe for the body	✅ Compatible (Best Type)
Silicone-based	Provides long-lasting smoothness, very good waterproof performance	❌ Not compatible (damages the device's silicone)
Oil/Oil type (Oil-based)	Cheap, used for external massage	❌ Not compatible (damages silicone and condoms)

A clear warning: Never use silicone-based lubricants on silicone devices. They will permanently **melt or stick** to the device.

Choose from water-based lubricants that are safe for silicone devices.

3. Techniques for use: appropriate amount and time

Using lubricant correctly isn't just about applying it, it's about using the right amount and timing:

Use from the beginning: You shouldn't wait until you feel dryness or friction, but you should apply a suitable amount of lubricant from the beginning of the activity.
Apply to the device: Apply lubricant to the entire surface of the device you will be using (e.g., extender sleeve, dildo).
Apply to the body: Apply to areas where the device will come into direct contact with the body to ensure maximum slipperiness and reduce skin friction.
Refillable: Water-based lubricants can dry out or absorb more quickly than other types, so don't hesitate to reapply whenever you feel the slipperiness starting to fade.

4. Hygiene: Extend the life of your equipment.

Proper cleaning extends the life of your equipment and prevents bacteria buildup:

Wash immediately: Equipment should be washed immediately after each use.
Specialty Cleaners: Use a **specialty cleaner for adult toys** or a mild soap that is fragrance-free/alcohol-free.
Storage: Store the device in a completely dry place, away from direct sunlight, and separate from other plastic or rubber devices.
