Hey! So you got a rose toy, huh? Exciting times are just around the corner! But before you get started, let’s talk about how to use it safely and make the most of your new little friend. Rose Toys are very popular for their looks and unique air-pulsing feature, but as with any other toy, there are a few do’s and don’s to keep in mind. This guide will walk you through the key points you need to know.
1. Clean It Before (and After!) Every Use
First things first—hygiene is non-negotiable. Always clean your rose toy before and after using it. Even if it looks pristine, you don’t want to risk introducing bacteria into sensitive areas. Use warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a toy-specific cleaner. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly, and let it air dry or pat it dry with a clean, lint-free towel.
Inyarose Pro tip: Avoid submerging toys that aren’t fully waterproof. Most rose toys are water-resistant, but double-check the manufacturer’s details to be safe.
2. Use the Right Lubricant
To make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, grab a good water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubes might damage the material of your toy, especially if it’s made of silicone itself. Water-based lube is gentle, easy to clean, and won’t mess with your rose toy’s finish.
3. Check the settings beforehand
The Rose Toy comes with ten different suction and vibration modes. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the settings before use. Try using the buttons (no judgement here!) to find out which intensity level is right for you. This helps avoid accidents during use. Trust me, no one likes to inadvertently have their body parts receive the powerful stimulation of sucking.
4. Start Slow
If this is your first time using a suction toy, go easy on yourself. The sensation might be a bit intense at first. Start with the lowest setting and gradually increase as you get comfortable. Rushing into the higher settings can feel overwhelming and might even ruin the experience for you.
5. Avoid Overuse
We get it—it’s fun! But moderation is key. Using your rose toy for extended periods can cause temporary sensitivity or irritation. Everyone’s body is different, so listen to yours. If you start feeling any discomfort, take a break. Remember, it’s about quality over quantity!
6. Correct charging
Most rose toys are rechargeable, and proper charging habits are essential to keep your toy running smoothly. Don’t overcharge it (e.g., leaving it plugged in overnight) as it might shorten the battery’s lifespan. Follow the instructions in the manual for charging times, and always use the cable provided by the manufacturer.
7. Know Where to Use It
The rose toy is specifically designed for external use, focusing on the clitoral area. It’s not meant for internal use—so don’t try inserting it! Misusing the toy could not only damage it but might also cause discomfort or injury.
8. Pay Attention to Materials
Most rose toys are made from body-safe silicone, which is hypoallergenic and non-porous. But if you have sensitive skin or allergies, do a quick spot test before full use. Apply the toy lightly to your skin (like your arm) to see if there’s any irritation. Better safe than sorry!
9. Store It Properly
After cleaning, store your rose toy in a clean, dry place. Many toys come with a storage pouch—use it! This keeps dust and bacteria away. If your toy didn’t come with a pouch, consider buying one or storing it in one ziploc bag. Never leave it lying around unprotected, especially if it’s in a humid environment like a bathroom.
10. Don’t Share Without Protection
If you’re sharing your rose toy with a partner, make sure you’re using a barrier, like a condom, to prevent the spread of bacteria or infections. Sharing without proper precautions can be risky, even if both of you are healthy.
11. Replace When Necessary
Toys don’t last forever. If you notice any cracks, tears, or changes in the texture of the silicone, it’s time to replace your rose toy. Damaged toys can harbor bacteria or cause irritation. Most high-quality toys last for years with proper care, but it’s better to be cautious.
12. Keep It Quiet
Lastly, let’s talk about discretion. The rose toy is relatively quiet compared to some other options, but if you’re worried about noise, use it in a private area or play some background music to cover any sounds. Most modern rose toys are designed with noise reduction in mind, so this shouldn’t be a huge concern.
Wrapping Up
Using Rose Toys can help change your self-care habits, helping you to be more mindful of your intimate care and healthy sexuality, putting safety and comfort first at all times. By keeping it clean, storing it properly and taking care of your body, you can enjoy a carefree experience every time.
