While body-safe materials like the silicone and ABS plastic that we use at LELO aren\u2019t likely to suddenly sprout growths, it\u2019s just safer for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what material your toy is made from, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/video-clean-lelo-vibrators\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you should clean your sex toys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before and after each time you use it. Not only will this keep you and your partners safe, it also adds to the lifespan of your intimate items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If thoroughly cleaning a toy before and after enjoyment sounds like a chore, there are easy-on solutions such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/lelo-toy-cleaning-spray\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LELO Cleaning Spray<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can be applied directly to the toy and then simply rinse your toy in water after five seconds. It\u2019s a formula that\u2019s strong on germs and bacteria, yet is softened with zinc salts to avoid irritating even the most sensitive skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Keep Sparks Flying<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While rechargeable everything has certainly saved us from making hard decisions about whether to steal batteries out of our TV remote, there are some key things to know about your rechargeable sex toys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, always fully charge before first use. Use time will vary slightly between products and which setting you\u2019re using them on, but you should get a few hours of continuous enjoyment in before you\u2019re due for a charge. Try to only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/when-to-charge-your-vibrator\/\">recharge your vibrator<\/a> when it has been fully or nearly fully drained, as doing so more often can affect battery performance. And, ONLY ever use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/lelo-charger\/\">LELO charger \u2014 we sell replacements<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if they go missing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Been busy, or just have a lot of LELOs asking for your attention? Try to turn on your vibrators every month or so; leaving them unused for long periods of time may cause them to stop working.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has Your LELO Lost its Steam?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our whole business is centered on making our customers very, very happy.
