Careing of your toys is the main idea for your healthy

We have a thing for quality. For us, quality means durability:  long-lasting and hard-working. That’s why when we’re looking for new products that will be intimately placed in and around our bodies, we almost exclusively consider medical grade silicone materials.  

A sex toy, or any accessory, is a very personal item. If you use sexual accessories with a partner, they should be handled with the same regard and responsibility that you give to safe sex. They need to be cleaned and protected with the same level of concern for STIs. And when in doubt, take precautions and place a condom over the apparatus that gets inserted into the body.

Medical grade silicone is made to be used inside the body. This material is nonporous, which means it can be completely cleaned and disinfected. It can withstand high temperatures, like boiling water, for added confidence. Note, however, you can not boil or expose motorized toys to high temperatures as this will damage or, more likely, kill the motor. If your silicone toy is non-motorized you may boil it for a few minutes or place it in dishwasher (top rack).

Alternatively, you should thoroughly wash silicone with a mild, non-irritating soap and warm water immediately after use. Depending on how your toy is stored, and how long it’s been between uses, you may want to give it a quick wash before the next play session. Be sure to get in all the nooks and crannies when washing and drying as well.

Top 5 things for careing of toys

We think that quality medical grade silicone is a great, body-safe material that is easy to clean and maintain. So take a look at your toy collection and remember these tips.

1. Pay attention on the material

Not all silicone is medical grade ー it has to be made body-safe and be indicated as such.

2. Use condom any way

Toys made from porous materials (like jelly rubber) can harbor bacteria. This means that the toys can never be completely disinfected. Use a condom over your toy for an added layer of protection.

3. Protect your toys from any dirty

Completely dry toys with a clean towel after washing and before storing.

4. Pay attention on defects

Punctures or rips in the seam of a silicone toy (or any toy) means it is no longer nonporous and at the end of its sex life.  

5. We appretiate all these rules 

It’s important to note that VipePlanet’s, Wandah and Monah toys are motorized and should not be boiled or placed in the dishwasher. These toys are easy to clean with warm water and soap.

We recommend using an all natural soap.  Your body parts will thank you for it.

In January, for the second year in a row, we attended the AVN Expo in Las Vegas.  Last year when the event added industry education and adult toys & novelty to the program, we knew it was the right time for us to join the largest adult entertainment trade and fan show in the world.  The B2B educational programs & seminars taught us more about gender & sexual inclusion and how to better position products and marketing messaging so as not to exclude people of all identities.  This is definitely important to us. As well, we heard legal experts speak about their experiences and the different aspects of the industry. The stories and insight of the challenges of building a business whose products are deemed ‘embarrassing’ or ‘sensitive’ by the rest of the world, but otherwise known as pleasure accessories and sex toys affirmed what we’ve been up against but gave us more tools to work with. We met other professionals – sex educators and therapists, entrepreneurs, photographers, models and generally a great many industry persons.  And it was really exciting when we organized our first product photo session, impulsively and so enthusiastically, thanks to a chance meeting and fast thinking to pull it all together. It was a blast!

The whole experience helped us sharpen our focus and vision for VibePlanet.  We continue our journey by offering affordable luxury intimate accessories and toys to serve one purpose:  help make your sexual needs and desires more enjoyable and satisfied. And we have a new look and refreshed website!  

Most of all, we hope to enlighten you with knowledge to make better decisions about your sexual wellness, sex positive mindset and better body education.   Vibe on!
