When it comes to sex toys (or sex education in general), you can’t find much information. Wondering why? The reasons are varied, but they all have one thing in common: the shame of talking about them openly.

Before using a vibrator, make sure to wash your hands and the vibrator with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh or abrasive soaps, as these can damage the surface of the vibrator. Use lubrication: Using a water-based lubricant can enhance the pleasure of using a vibrator and also protect the sensitive skin around the vulva and vagina. However, avoid using silicone-based lubricants with silicone vibrators, as they can damage the material.
