Here are some tips to safely prepare for temperature play.

Choose Your Materials Wisely

Glass and metal sex toys are often better choices for temperature play. They retain temperature well, and their materials are more stable. While thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are fantastic for room-temperature use, they may melt when too hot or crack when too cold. Avoid melted or chipped plastic coming into contact with your body.

Never Use a Microwave Oven

Using a microwave to heat sex toys is unsafe. Microwaves heat unevenly and may create hot spots, leading to discomfort or injury. Additionally, glass or metal toys may not heat properly in a microwave. Avoid this method for your safety.

Use a Bowl and Hot Water

To safely heat your sex toys, use a bowl and hot water. Boiling water is an option, but temperatures just below boiling are safer. After placing your toy in the bowl, do not continue to heat the water. A few minutes in hot water will prepare your toy for safe and enjoyable play.

Do Not Leave Sex Toys in a Freezer

Freezing your sex toy might seem effective, but it can be unsafe. Circulating air in freezers may deposit unseen debris on your toy, potentially causing internal abrasions. For safer cooling, use controlled methods.

Use a Bowl, Water, and Some Ice Cubes

To safely cool your sex toys, use a bowl with cool water and a few ice cubes. This method cools the toy evenly and prevents contamination. Add more ice cubes if you prefer colder sensations.

Cleanliness is a Must
