Chapter Two: Safe Use—Proper Operation Prevents Injury

2.1 First-Time Use Preparation

Inspection Checklist:

Cleaning and Disinfection (Required Before First Use):

1. Wash with warm water and mild soap
2. Medical-grade silicone can be boiled for 3-5 minutes
3. Dry completely before use

2.2 Lubricant Guidelines

Golden Rule: Lubricant type depends on toy material!

Lubricant Amount: More is better! Dry friction is the leading cause of discomfort and injury.

2.3 Safety Tips During Use

Body Preparation:

4. Listen to your body: Stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort

Special Considerations:

• G-spot/A-spot stimulation: Use specially designed toys; pay attention to angle
• Prostate massage: Must use products with curved design
• Anal use: Only use toys with flared bases! Products without bases are dangerous

2.4 Electrical Safety (For Powered Toys)
