Choose the right type of vibrator and confirm it’s intended for external use if applicable
Read the manufacturer’s instructions and safety warnings
Wash your hands before and after use
Clean the vibrator before first use and after each use (use warm water and mild soap if the label allows, otherwise follow the care instructions)
Use a water-based lubricant if the vibrator is intended for external use and if friction is likely
Start with the lowest power setting
Turn it on before placing it on your body
Place it on the desired area gently and hold steady
Adjust the angle, pressure, and location slowly to find what feels good
Use short sessions to start, then increase time only if it feels comfortable
Stop immediately if you feel pain, numbness, irritation, or burning
Avoid using it on broken skin, sores, or areas that feel inflamed
Avoid inserting unless it’s designed for internal use and you’re following the manufacturer’s guidance
If inserting, use additional lubricant and ensure the product is fully body-safe for internal use
Do not share vibrators without cleaning and using a condom barrier if intended for shared use
Use condoms for shared use or if you want easier cleaning (change the condom for each person)
Keep it away from the shower unless it’s explicitly waterproof for that use
Do not use near the eyes or on the face unless specifically designed for that purpose
Don’t use while driving, operating machinery, or in unsafe situations
Avoid use if you have active infections or conditions that make use uncomfortable or unsafe—follow your healthcare guidance
Turn off before removing from the body
Clean the vibrator after each use and store it in a clean, dry place
Charge and store according to manufacturer instructions
Check for damage (cracks, frayed cords, loose parts) and stop use if damaged
If you experience persistent irritation, bleeding, or injury, seek medical advice
