Taking care of your vibe isn't just about hygiene - it's about extending its life, maintaining peak performance, and honoring your investment in pleasure. With proper care, your vibe will deliver years of blissful experiences.

Here's everything you need to know.

Daily Care Routine

Before First Use

Essential prep steps:

Charge fully (2+ hours) - calibrates battery
Wash with The Refresh or gentle soap + warm water
Dry completely with lint-free towel
Test all functions to ensure everything works
After Every Use

Your 5-minute routine:

Clean immediately - Don't wait! Use The Refresh toy cleanser or mild, unscented soap
Rinse thoroughly - Warm water until all soap is gone (soap residue irritates skin)
Dry completely - Pat with clean towel, then air dry fully
Store properly - Place in silk pouch, keep separate from other toys

Pro tip: Clean your vibe right after use, even if you're tired. Future you will thank you.

What to Use

Safe cleaning options:

✅ The Refresh (pH-balanced, specially formulated)
✅ Mild, unscented soap + warm water
✅ Gentle antibacterial soap

Never use:

❌ Harsh chemicals or alcohol
❌ Bleach or disinfectants
❌ Dish soap with degreasers
❌ Hot water (damages electronics)
❌ Abrasive scrubbers

Proper Cleaning Technique

The Right Way to Clean

Step 1: Initial rinse Hold under warm (not hot) water. Don't submerge charging port.

Step 2: Lather up Apply The Refresh or gentle soap. Work into all surfaces, paying special attention to:

Seams and ridges
Around buttons
Textured areas
Base and handle

Step 3: Rinse completely All soap must go. Residue can irritate your skin and degrade materials over time.

Step 4: Dry thoroughly Pat dry with microfiber or lint-free cloth. Let air dry completely before storage. Moisture = bacterial growth.

Waterproof Ratings

IPX7 (submersible): Safe to rinse under running water
Splash-resistant: Wipe with damp cloth only, don't submerge

Check your specific product's rating in the manual.

Storage Best Practices

Where to Store Your Vibe

Ideal storage:

✅ In provided silk pouch (keeps dust off, prevents scratches)
✅ Cool, dry, dark place
✅ Room temperature environment
✅ Away from direct sunlight
✅ Separate from other silicone toys

Avoid:

❌ Humid bathrooms (moisture damage)
❌ Direct sunlight (material degradation)
❌ Extreme temperatures (hot cars, freezing storage)
❌ Touching other silicone toys (can react with each other)
❌ Loose in drawers (collects dust and debris)

Why the silk pouch matters: Your pouch isn't just pretty - it protects your investment, maintains hygiene, and makes travel easy.

Charging & Battery Care

Charging Best Practices

Initial charge:

Charge fully before first use (2+ hours)
This calibrates battery for optimal performance

Ongoing charging:

Charge when battery runs low (don't fully deplete)
Unplug when fully charged (don't overcharge)
Use only provided charging cable
Charge on clean, dry surface
Never use while charging

Battery longevity tips:

Avoid complete battery drain
Store at 40-50% charge for extended periods
Keep charging port clean and dry
Don't force charge connection

Pro tip: Charge your vibe monthly to preserve battery health, even if you haven't used it.

What to Avoid

Lubricant Compatibility

Safe with silicone toys (like all Blyss' vibes):

✅ Water-based lubricants, try the Glide!
✅ Hybrid lubricants (water + silicone combo)
✅ Natural oils (like the Glow) - clean thoroughly after

NEVER use with silicone toys:

❌ Pure silicone lubricants (degrades toy material)
❌ Petroleum-based products (Vaseline, etc.)
❌ Some oil-based lubricants

This is crucial: Silicone lube + silicone toy = ruined toy. Always check labels.

Environmental Hazards

Keep your vibe away from:

Hot tubs/spas (chlorine + heat = damage)
Beach/sand (abrasive, gets in seams)
Pools (chlorine damage)
Saunas (excessive heat)
Extreme cold or heat
Direct sunlight
Monthly Inspection

What to Check

Look for:

Cracks or tears in material
Discoloration or staining
Sticky or tacky surface (material breakdown)
Unusual odors (bacterial growth or degradation)
Decreased vibration strength
Button responsiveness issues
Battery life changes

Test:

All vibration patterns and intensities
Button response time
Charging connection
Overall performance

If you notice issues: Contact support immediately while under warranty.

When to Replace Your Vibe

Definite Replacement Needed

Replace immediately if you see:

🔴 Visible tears or cracks
🔴 Surface degradation (sticky, rough texture)
🔴 Strong chemical or musty smell
🔴 Significant color change
🔴 Won't hold charge after troubleshooting
🔴 Water damage visible
🔴 Mechanical failure (buttons, motor)

Consider Replacement

Think about replacing after:

🟡 Decreased power despite full charge
🟡 Significantly shorter battery life
🟡 3-5+ years of regular use
🟡 You want updated features

Remember: Your safety comes first. When in doubt, replace it.
