Introduction and Why is Safety Key? 🛡️
Welcome to another installment of our stretching guide! 👋 In our previous article, we focused on
The Golden Rule of Lubrication: Material Matters 💧
When stretching with our platinum silicone toys, the choice of lubricant is the most important factor. As we have hinted in previous installments, silicone has one major enemy.
-
Always use water-based lubricants: Silicone-based lubricants could damage our unique smooth surface and create microscopic pores, irreversibly ruining the toy. 🚫
-
Why don't we mention oils or hybrids?: In our guide, we consciously avoid other types of lubrication. Oils can irritate mucous membranes and damage condoms, while hybrids often contain ingredients we don't consider suitable for long-term stretching. We stick to what is 100% safe. ❌
-
Viscosity and Density: For stretching, we recommend thicker water-based lubricants (e.g., Waterglide). A thicker gel stays on the toy and the body better, providing a necessary "cushion" when inserting larger diameters. Never continue "dry" and feel free to reapply lubricant throughout your session. 🧬
Hygiene: From Soap to Sterilization 🧼
Our toys are designed for maximum safety, and thanks to their high temperature resistance (up to 200°C / 390°F), they offer maintenance options you won't find with common materials.
-
We only choose the best: There are many cheap materials on the market (PVC, TPE, Jelly), but we intentionally ignore them in our guide. We consider them unsuitable due to their porosity and toxic plasticizer content.

Before and after every use: Wash the toy with lukewarm water and a mild, unscented soap. Thanks to the "smooth as glass" surface, maintenance is lightning fast and very easy. ✨
-
Deep sterilization: Every now and then, you can boil the toy in hot water ♨️. Just a few minutes in a gentle boil ensures perfect cleanliness without bacteria.
-
Disinfection: If you prefer sprays, use chlorine-free toy cleaners to keep the silicone in top condition for years.
How to Prevent Injury and What to Do if Things Go Wrong ⚠️
Safety during stretching is primarily about listening to your own body. As we wrote in our
-
Micro-tears and irritation: If you feel burning or see blood, you have made too big of a jump. In this case, take an absolute break (7–14 days). Mucous membranes heal quickly, but they must have rest. Start your return with a significantly smaller size. 🛑
-
Condoms: Our toys work best in direct contact with the body. We generally don't recommend using condoms because they can reduce glide. However, if the situation requires it (e.g., when sharing), keep an eye on its compatibility with your lubricant. 🧤
-
Temperature comfort: A small trick for easier relaxation – warm the toy in warm (not boiling) water before use. The material absorbs the heat, helping the muscles relax and prepare for stretching. It is much more pleasant than a "cold start." 🌡️🔥
-
If a toy "won't come out": If the muscles tighten up, don't panic. Stress makes the situation worse. Try adding more lubricant, take a warm shower to relax, and breathe deeply. Health always comes first. 🧘♂️
Storage 📦
Your stretching set deserves its own place. After washing and drying thoroughly, store the toys separately from other materials (especially from cheap PVC or TPE toys) to prevent chemical reactions. This keeps your premium pieces in top condition for years. 💎
Conclusion 💖
Stretching is a personal journey, not a race – and its success depends on how you care for yourself and your tools. 🏃♂️ High-quality equipment and proper maintenance ensure that you enjoy this path without unnecessary complications. Remember that patience and consistency are the keys to progress. Always listen to your body and prioritize safety over speed. 👂 We'd love to hear from you if our advice has helped! ✍️
