Wand-erful Cleaning: A Guide to Keeping Your Magic Wand Vibrator in Top Shape

Okay folks, listen up! Cleaning your Magic Wand vibrator is a must-do task to make sure it keeps on delivering the goods. Just like any other sex toy, keeping it clean is crucial for both safety and hygiene reasons. But, let's be real, the Magic Wand is a special device, it's got unique qualities and features that make it O.G. personal massager. So, to make sure you get the full experience and keep your Magic Wand in tip-top shape, it's essential to follow the below do’s and don'ts.

 

Do's:

1. Cleaning your magic wand vibrator before and after each use. It's super easy, all you have to do is grab a mild and unscented soap, some warm water and cloth, give it a little scrub-a-dub-dub, and voila! It’s not waterproof so be sure to carefully target the wand head. Go round it with the damp cloth but don’t submerge your wand in water. You'll be amazed at how much better it works and how much longer it will last. Trust us, your magic wand will thank you for taking the extra time to give it a little TLC.

2. Now that you've given your magic wand vibrator a good cleaning, it's time to dry it off before storing it away. If you don't dry it completely, you're leaving the door wide open for bacteria to come in and wreak havoc. So, take a few extra seconds to dry it off completely, and you'll be glad you did.

3. Keep your magic wand vibrator safe and protected when it's not in use. And take note, this step is just as important as the others. Dust, dirt, and hair can all easily get inside the mechanism of your magic wand when it's not in use, and that can cause all kinds of problems. But don't worry, it's an easy fix. Just grab a cover or storage bag and keep your magic wand in a safe place.

4. It's time to talk about maintaining your magic wand vibrator over time. Now, even though you've been taking good care of it, there may come a time when it needs a little extra attention. That's why it's important to regularly check for any signs of wear on the cords or components. Just like anything else, your magic wand vibrator will experience some normal wear and tear over time, and it's important to catch it early. So, take a few minutes every now and then to give it a once over and check for any frayed cords or loose components. If you notice anything, it may be time for a repair or to replace some parts. It’s rare to encounter any issue, but if you do all our Hitachi wands come with a 1 year warranty.

Don'ts:

1. Don't submerge your magic wand vibrator in water! It's tempting to just give it a good soak in the sink, but trust me, this is a big no-no. Submerging your device in water can cause serious damage and even ruin it beyond repair. So, what should you do instead? All you have to do is grab a damp cloth and clean the surfaces. This way you can still get it nice and clean without risking any damage.

2. I know you might be tempted to use some heavy-duty cleaners to really get your wand sparkling clean, but trust me, this is a bad idea. Using alcohol-based cleaners or other harsh cleaning solutions can cause serious damage to your magic wand vibrator. There are specialist toy cleaning sprays available that work a treat for removing unwanted bacteria. Stick to these if you opt for a cleaning spray or foam instead of soapy water.

3. Keeping your magic wand vibrator in direct sunlight can cause damage over time. The heat and UV rays can cause the materials to degrade and can cause malfunction. This generally applies to a lot of electrical goods, to be safe store your wand out of direct sunlight.

5. Something that might be tempting to do but should be avoided at all costs: using accessories or attachments not specifically designed for your magic wand vibrator. You might think that any attachments will work and it's just a matter of preference, but really, this is a bad idea. Using attachments or accessories that are not specifically designed for your model can cause serious damage to your magic wand vibrator. It could damage the internal components or the silicone head. At UH-OH! Our Hitachi Magic Wand Attachments are specifically designed to be compatible with the Original, Plus and Rechargeable Magic Wand models.

The Dirty Truth: How Neglecting Your Vibrator Can Harm Your Health

This might not be the most glamorous topic, but it's important nonetheless - please clean your vibrator. Now, I know you might be thinking "Ugh, do I really have to clean my vibrator every time I use it?", but trust me, it's worth it. Neglecting to clean your vibrator can lead to all sorts of unpleasant consequences.

First off, it's a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus, which can make it difficult to maintain personal hygiene. And if you're thinking "Well, that's not so bad", think again. This bacteria and fungus can spread to other areas of the body, such as the urethra and vagina, leading to an increased risk of infection. Additionally, it can cause discomfort and even burning sensations during sex.

But don't worry, it's easy to avoid these issues. Just make sure you follow the guide we have provided above. And here's the thing, not every toy is created equal when it comes to cleaning requirements. Some toys may require special cleaners and others may need to be wiped down with soap and water. Make sure you read up on the cleaning instructions for your specific toy before attempting any cleaning methods. Because with proper care, your vibrator should last a long time and provide plenty of pleasure!
