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 (about 60-90 minutes, until the light shows full)
- 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 your 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 (made for silicone toys)
✅ 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 the 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, the Bean and the Mango: Waterproof. Safe to rinse under running water
- IPX6, the Peach: Splash-proof. Rinse under the tap, but never submerge it
Check your specific product's rating in the manual.
Storage Best Practices
Where to Store Your Vibe
Ideal storage:
✅ In the pouch it came with (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 pouch matters: it 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 (about 60-90 minutes)
- So you start with a full battery
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!
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 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
