Vibrators 101: First Toy Advice + 5 Common Mistakes

New to toys? Start slow and safe. Here are my quick-start tips:

• Pick a small bullet or slim vibe for your first.
• Choose body-safe silicone or ABS plastic.
• Use water-based lube (better for toys and skin).
• Clean before & after: mild soap + warm water.
• Don’t chase power — comfort comes first.

Hey, great starter list!
I’ll add a couple more tips from my own experience for anyone just getting into toys:

• Noise matters – if you live with others or in an apartment, quieter models make it more stress-free.
• Test the shape – sometimes a comfortable grip is more important than extra settings.
• Store it right – keep your toy in a clean pouch or case so lint and dust don’t stick to it.

And yes, cleaning is huge — I’ve seen so many people skip this or use the wrong soap.
