I’m almost there!
Your toes are starting to curl
It’s 2am and your midnight bedroom barber’s shop is open
Grrrrrr… grrrrrr….
Then suddenly… nothing
Silence.
But I charged it this evening so what happened?
No matter how many times you press the power button with increasing desperation, your favorite orgasm-giver has officially moved on to sex toy heaven.
Trust me when I say I can totally relate to the pain
To save you from future heartbreak, let’s get into why your toys might be retiring early and how to keep the spark alive.
Not all toys are waterproof!
I appreciate your devotion to being a clean freak
In fact you’re in the elite 20% of people who actually clean their toys after use
Clap for yourself, Here’s your standing ovation
However, not all toys can survive a submarine ride (aka dipping in water)
Particularly your battrified toys
Even if you don’t take anything away from this blog post, hold on to this one
“DON’T IMMERSE TOYS WITH REMOVABLE BATTERIES IN WATER”
So how then do I clean it?
These types of toys can withstand a splash of water, they can survive a light scrub from a towel dipped in soapy water but if you really want them to last long submarine dives are a no no.
Not all slippery stuff are created equal
For most people, “lube is lube,” but in the world of pleasure, chemistry matters I’m sure you’d know a thing or two about that **emoji
There are about 3 different types of lube and each has it’s best use case
Sometimes lubricant mis-match can have mild consequences but other times you risk damaging your favorite toy.
For example; Silicone based lubricants can damage your silicone dildos where the lube literally dissolves the surface of your toy, making it porous and sticky.
Your safest bet is Water based lubricants, they are easy to clean, condom-compatible, and won’t degrade your toy’s health.

How are you storing your toys?
It’s tempting to toss your toy into a random drawer or leave it on the “nightstand of shame” until the next session.
However, raw exposure to dust, lint, and even other toys can land you in trouble.
The best way to store your toys is to leave them in their original packaging, wrap them in silk or linen fabric or invest in a dedicated “sex-toy organizer”
The Charge-overnight trap
“Just plug it in when you sleep and unplug it in the morning”
While that might work for your iphone, your vibrator stand no chance of surviving that.
Leaving your toy plugged in for 12 hours straight can lead to “battery memory” issues, eventually shortening the time it can stay “up.”
Most vibrators reach full charge in 1–2 hours, If you can maintain this routine Your battery and your future self will thank you.
Quality is an investment
You know what they say
Better soup, na money kill am.
While the “cheap” toys are great for a quick fix on a tight budget
high-end toys are engineered with medical-grade silicone and superior motors. They are designed to last years, not weeks.
If you’re willing to invest in a good skincare routine or a designer bag, your pleasure deserves that same level of luxury.
Can we call this goodbye?
Losing your favorite orgasm giver can be hard
If these tips came too late and your toy is truly gone, see this as a sign from the universe. Maybe your body is ready for a new sensation, a different rhythm, or a more powerful motor.
