About Battery Vibrators

By admin • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: Product Info

From Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health and Product Info section:

Battery vibrators offer many advantages: they are inexpensive, portable and create gentle vibrations (which are popular with those people who find plug-in vibrators overwhelming). We do caution customers that some batterys’ lifespans can be unpredictable, ranging anywhere from a week to several years. For this reason, we test most battery vibes before they leave Good Vibrations and we guarantee them for 30 days. Here are a few hints on how to prolong its life:

  • Do not drop the vibrator. The plastic parts might crack.
  • Store your batteries outside the vibrator; both the vibrator and the batteries will last longer. By removing the batteries when the vibrator is not in use you will also avoid accidentally leaving the vibrator on low.
  • Keep all vibrators out of water to prevent corrosion of metal parts (except, of course, for vibrators that are waterproof). Clean non-waterproof vibrators by wiping with a cloth moistened with water and/or antibacterial soap and water.
  • If there is a cord between the battery pack and the vibrator, do not tug on the cord. When retrieving the vibrator from the vagina, grasp the vibrator itself with your fingers; do not pull it out like a tampon. Please don’t insert this type of vibrator anally. The cord could easily become detached, leaving the vibrator lodged in the rectum. Use only toys with a flared base for anal stimulation.
  • Thoroughly clean and dry toys after use. Put condoms on toys used by more than one person during sex or on those that go from anus to vagina; put fresh condoms on toys before inserting in the next spot.

The free batteries which may be supplied by the manufacturer with your vibrator tend to be cheap and weak. Alkaline batteries really are better and worth the extra cost.

Warning: Any battery-operated device generates heat when in operation. If the vibrator does not have access to air it may become hot enough to cause injury. Therefore, please do not lie on the vibrator or battery pack. Always turn the vibrator off and put it away when not in use. Don’t fall asleep with your vibrator on.
