Wash your hands with soap and water
Choose a comfortable position (lying down, propped up, or sitting)
Use a mirror if it helps you see what you’re doing
If you have one, use a small amount of water-based lube on your fingers or external area
Start with gentle touches on the outside of your vulva/clitoris area to see what feels good
Gradually move your finger(s) toward the vaginal opening only if you want internal stimulation
If inserting a finger, use slow, gentle pressure
Keep movements slow and adjust based on sensation
Consider using short, controlled motions or changing the angle to find what feels best
If using more than one finger, increase gradually and keep it comfortable
If it becomes uncomfortable, pain occurs, or you feel numbness or burning, stop and reassess
Use additional lube as needed to reduce friction
When you’re done, wipe away any lube with tissue or a clean cloth
Rinse externally with warm water if desired; avoid inserting water into the vagina
Wash your hands again
Clean any toys/fingers used with mild soap and water (or follow the product’s cleaning instructions)
