First-Time Buyer Checklist — Feel Prepared & Safe

Your First Toy Purchase Checklist

Feel confident, informed, and ready for your intimate wellness journey.

✓ Before You Shop

  • Know what you're curious about: External pleasure? Internal? Both? There's no wrong answer.
  • Set a comfortable budget: Quality toys range from $30-$150. Start where you feel good.
  • Check our Beginner-Friendly Collection for curated starter options.
  • Read reviews: Real customer experiences help you choose wisely.

✓ What to Look For

  • Body-safe materials: Medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic, or stainless steel only.
  • Phthalate-free: Always. No exceptions.
  • Waterproof: Makes cleaning easy and safe.
  • Rechargeable: USB charging is eco-friendly and convenient.
  • Quiet motor: Discreet and peaceful for your privacy.
  • Size matters: Start small. You can always go bigger later.

✓ Safety Essentials

  • Always use lubricant: Water-based is safest for silicone toys. Shop lubricants here.
  • Clean before and after every use: Warm water + mild soap or toy cleaner.
  • Store properly: Keep toys in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Check for damage: Inspect toys before each use. Discard if cracked or damaged.
  • Never share without cleaning: Or use a condom barrier for safety.
  • Listen to your body: If something hurts, stop. Pleasure should never be painful.

✓ What to Have Ready

  • Water-based lubricant — essential for comfort
  • Toy cleaner or mild soap — for hygiene
  • Towel or washcloth — for easy cleanup
  • Privacy and time — no rush, no pressure
  • Open mind — exploration is a journey, not a destination

✓ After Your Purchase

  • Charge it fully before first use (if rechargeable).
  • Wash it thoroughly with warm water and soap.
  • Read the instructions — yes, really!
  • Test it in your hand first to understand vibration levels and controls.
  • Go slow — there's no timeline for pleasure.
  • Be patient with yourself — it may take a few tries to find what feels best.
