So where is yours hidden? Could it be in your knicker drawer? At the back of the bathroom cabinet? Is it stuffed under jeans in your wardrobe? Or is it hiding in a sock in your tallboy?
Storing vibrators can be quite tricky. First on the priority list is hiding your toy in such a way that it isn’t accidentally found…by your kids for example – or maybe even by your husband!
Your next priority is to store your vibrator in such a way that it doesn’t become damaged. This applies especially if your new vibe is going to join other toys of different materials that may (or may not) react well with one another. Vibrators are also motorised objects that contain some metal parts so correct storage of your playmate is important.
Here are a few tips about storing your vibrator:
Don’t store your toys in direct sunlight (as if!) & remove all the batteries so that they don’t rust the metal parts of your vibrator. Leaving the batteries inside your vibrator also wears the batteries down and therefore shortens their life.
Always store your adult toys in a dry place – damp corners such as cupboards under bathroom sinks for instance – can be thriving places for bacteria to grow. In addition to this, the metal battery strips in the vibrator’s ‘tube’ don’t mix well with moisture and can corrode.
Never expose your adult toys to excessive heat. This could cause a combustible situation with your batteries or simply melt the materials.
Store all your ‘toys’ separately – do not throw them all together in the same drawer. The materials of some vibrators will discolor, stain or leave mildewy-looking marks on other ones. In particular, jelly like vibrators and vinyl ones don’t go well together – the jelly appears to ‘melt’. If you keep them all together in the same drawer, ensure that each one is wrapped in its own pouch.
Do not keep vibrators where they can collect dust or animal hair, especially so with jelly vibrators that seem to be ‘magnets’ for fluff and airborne particles.
Do ensure that you store your vibrator and any other ‘play things’ you might have in a dark & dry place. Some people keep them in a drawer between cotton underwear or other clothing for padding. Keep your vibrator at room temperature; clean your toy thoroughly after each use and remove the batteries.
Store vibrators in a toy bag or pouch or in a special toy box. These storage products are usually velvet or satin and – if they’re a box – they have some soft material with plush padding on the inside.
