Basic Usage Steps

Familiarize With Features

Couple’s Creative Techniques

Foreplay Interaction

Try “massage therapist” role-play—use the vibrator for full-body massage.

Breathing Techniques
Deep breathing: Inhale 4s, exhale 6s—extend pleasure time.

Safety Guidelines

Material & Skin Sensitivity
Avoid cheap plastic toys (allergic reactions). Choose food-grade silicone.

Overuse Risks
Mistake: Overusing high intensity. This may cause skin redness or reduced sensitivity. Limit use to <30 mins per session.

Improper Cleaning Dangers
Unclean toys breed bacteria, leading to infections. Clean after every use.

Handling Discomfort

1. Rinse with warm water + soap (waterproof models only)
2. Dry with clean towel

Deep Sanitization
Weekly: Boil for 3-5 mins (heat-resistant models) or use UV sterilizer.

Storage Tips
- Use a dedicated box
- Avoid sharp objects
- Keep away from sunlight/high temp

Battery Care
- Rechargeable: Charge when <20% (avoid over-discharging)
- Battery-powered: Remove batteries if not used for long

Fixing Low Intensity
