Masturbator life: maintenance, storage and replacement signs<\/h1>\n
\"Masturbator<\/figure>\n
\n

preamble<\/h2>\n

You can buy a good quality masturbator and yet damage it quickly with a bad lubricant, incomplete drying or too wet storage.<\/p>\n

The lifespan depends on the material, frequency of use, cleaning and storage.<\/p>\n

Why don't two identical masturbators age the same?<\/h2>\n

A product used every day undergoes more friction, washing and stretching than a model used occasionally. Aging also depends on the pressure exerted on the inlet, the amount of lubricant and how the channel is cleaned.<\/p>\n

TPE, for example, is very flexible but requires more precautions than a high quality silicone. Some materials can become more sticky over time, tear at the entrance or hold back more odors.<\/p>\n

Making a masturbator \u00abrest\u00bb is not a scientific method of regeneration of the material. On the other hand, alternating between several products can simply reduce the frequency of wear of each.<\/p>\n

Clean immediately after use<\/h2>\n

The best way to preserve the sleeve is to wash it without waiting. Rinse the inside with warm water and use a gentle cleaner compatible with the material if necessary.<\/p>\n

Gently press the channel to circulate the water. Avoid nails, hard brushes and any sharp objects that could hang on the internal reliefs.<\/p>\n

After rinsing, drain as much water as possible and allow the product to dry completely. A still wet canal enclosed in a box is much more likely to develop a bad smell or mold.<\/p>\n

\"Clean<\/figure>\n

Choose the right lubricant<\/h2>\n

The lubricant directly influences the state of the matter. For most TPE or silicone masturbators, a water-based lubricant is the safest choice, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Avoid products containing a lot of alcohol, essential oils or irritating ingredients. Oily lubricants may deteriorate some elastomers, and silicone lubricants may be incompatible with some silicone toys.<\/p>\n

It is not necessary to look for a particular \u00abmedical\u00bb ingredient. The important thing is that the product is intended for intimate use and compatible with your sex toy.<\/p>\n

Do not crush or stick the toys together<\/h2>\n

A very flexible masturbator can deform if it stays under heavy objects for a long time.<\/p>\n

Also separate sex toys made in different materials. Some flexible plastics or TPEs can react to prolonged contact with other materials and make the surface sticky.<\/p>\n

A clean fabric pouch or individual packaging also prevents the dust from being attached to a slightly grippy sleeve.<\/p>\n

Avoid overdisinfection<\/h2>\n

More disinfectant doesn't mean more safety. Alcohol, bleach or aggressive household products can damage the material and irritate the skin if they remain in the canal.<\/p>\n

\"Avoid<\/figure>\n

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. For a classic masturbator, careful washing with lukewarm water and a compatible cleaner is usually sufficient after each use.<\/p>\n

Use pills or disinfectant solutions only if their manufacturer explicitly indicates that they are suitable for the material concerned.<\/p>\n

Drying: the most important point<\/h2>\n

In a humid climate, drying can take time. Leave the sleeve open in a clean, ventilated place. A specially designed absorbent stick for masturbators can help remove residual moisture from the canal.<\/p>\n

Avoid randomly introducing desiccants that may release particles or substances not intended for contact with a sex toy.<\/p>\n

Can we \u00abrestore\u00bb a sleeve that has hardened?<\/h2>\n

Better to be careful with homemade recipes. Heat a masturbator to 60\u00b0C, apply baby oil and then put it in the refrigerator or freezer can change the material unpredictably.<\/p>\n

If the sleeve has hardened, melted, swollen, cracked or greatly changed in texture, these are signs of aging. No domestic treatment guarantees that it returns its safety or original properties.<\/p>\n

For a slightly sticky TPE, a compatible maintenance powder can sometimes improve the outside touch.<\/p>\n

When should I replace it?<\/h2>\n
