UNDERSTAND THE LABEL
Materials at a glance
Our toys are made from silicone, ABS plastic or a combination of the two. Both are non-porous, which means the surface does not soak up liquid or residue, so a toy in good condition is easy to keep clean.
Silicone
- What it is
- A soft, flexible, non-porous material with a smooth, velvety feel.
- Why it is used
- It feels lovely against skin and gives toys their soft-touch finish.
- What to check
- Look for “silicone” itself, not vague wording such as “silicone feel”. Be wary of extra claims like “medical-grade” unless they come with details.
- General care
- Wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap, and pair it with water-based lube. Silicone lube can damage silicone toys.
ABS plastic
- What it is
- A firm, smooth, non-porous plastic.
- Why it is used
- It gives toys their sturdy handles, button panels and firmer sections.
- What to check
- Every now and then, check the seams and joins for cracks or rough spots.
- General care
- Wipe or rinse it clean, keeping water away from buttons and charging points.
ON EVERY PRODUCT PAGE
What we tell you
No guesswork and no vague promises. Every product page covers the details you actually need before you buy.
- What it’s made from
- Its size in millimetres
- Every mode and how it is controlled
- Its water-resistance rating, in plain English
- Charging details and run time, where we have them
- How to clean and store it
- Product-specific safety tips, including for anal toys
If we do not have a detail for a toy, we leave it out rather than guess. You will never see us call a toy silent, waterproof or certified unless that is genuinely the case.
A SIMPLE ROUTINE
Cleaning and care
Check the care tips
Each toy has its own water rating and quirks, so start with the care tips on its product page and in the box.
Switch off and unplug
Turn the toy off and disconnect any charging cable before you clean it.
Check the surface
Give it a quick once-over for cracks, tears, rough edges, loose parts or a damaged charging point.
Wash gently
Use warm water and a mild, unscented soap. Only submerge toys rated IPX7 waterproof.
Rinse if the rating allows
Rinse away any soap, keeping water out of charging points. For IPX4 or unrated toys, wipe clean with a damp cloth instead.
Dry completely
Pat it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth, then let it air-dry fully.
Store separately
Keep each toy clean, dry and out of direct sunlight, ideally in its own pouch or box.
THE RIGHT LUBE
Choosing a lube
Lube makes almost everything feel better. The trick is matching it to your toy and any condom you are using.
| Lubricant | General guidance | Important |
|---|---|---|
| Water-based | The easy all-rounder for silicone toys and condoms. | It can dry out, so keep the bottle handy and top up as you go. |
| Silicone-based | Long-lasting and silky. | It can damage silicone toys, so save it for toys that say it is suitable. |
| Oil-based | Best avoided with toys and condoms. | Oil can weaken latex condoms and some toy materials. NHS guidance (opens in a new tab) |
| Hybrid or specialist formulas | Composition varies. | Check the label to see what it is made from before using it with a toy. |
When in doubt, reach for water-based. For more on condoms and lube, see the CDC condom guidance (opens in a new tab).
PLAYING TOGETHER
Sharing and hygiene
Sharing toys is part of the fun. A few easy habits keep things clean and comfortable for everyone.
Read the supporting guidance from Planned Parenthood (opens in a new tab) and the CDC (opens in a new tab).
- Clean your toy before and after every use.
- Put on a fresh condom before someone else uses it.
- Change the condom when moving a toy between body areas.
- Never go from anal to vaginal play without cleaning the toy and changing the condom.
- Toys that are hard to clean are best kept for one person.
- Condoms reduce risk, but they do not protect against every infection.
BEYOND THE MATERIAL
Design matters too
A good toy is about more than what it is made of. Shape, build and how you use it matter just as much.
Surface and construction
Smooth seams and no sharp edges or loose parts.
Intended use
Use each toy for the body area it is designed for.
Anal play
Only use toys designed for anal play, with a flared base, handle or similar feature that keeps them outside the body.
Electrical and water safety
Charge with the cable supplied, and remember that water-resistant is not the same as waterproof.
A QUICK PAUSE
Before each use
- Surface is intact
- Toy is clean and completely dry
- Charging port and cable are undamaged
- Controls operate normally
- The right lube is within reach
- You have read the care and safety tips
- A fresh condom is handy if you are sharing
- Stop straight away if anything causes pain, numbness, bleeding, irritation or discomfort
See a doctor or other healthcare professional if discomfort persists, a toy cannot be removed safely, or you have concerns about injury, infection, pregnancy, reduced sensation, medication or an existing health condition.
