Accessories in the USA

What are erotic accessories?

They are products that help your toys work better and last longer, and make sex more comfortable. Here you will find cleaners, batteries, books, waterproof sheets, air fresheners, gifts and items for parties. There are also enhancers, which are sold to improve performance and sensation, and pheromones, which are advertised as a way to boost natural attraction.

Types of erotic accessories

Batteries and sheets have their own pages. All the other groups are together in this section.

• Batteries: batteries in every size that toys use. Your toy's product page tells you which one it needs.
• Sheets: PVC and slide sheets that protect the mattress when you use oils and lubricants.
• Toy cleaning: disinfectant sprays and liquids, antibacterial soaps, wipes and maintenance powders.
• Anal cleaning: douches, enemas and irrigation bulbs. Many people consider them essential for comfortable, confident anal sex.
• Lubricants and creams: lubricants, water-based or silicone, and stimulating creams for the clitoris or G-spot.
• Intimate hygiene: tampons and other intimate hygiene products.
• Books: position guides, tantra manuals, erotic stories and BDSM guides. You will find more titles in erotic books.
• Gifts and parties: fun items to give as a present or for a party. There are more ideas in sexy gifts and in hen and stag parties.
• Condoms: condoms of various brands and types. Used correctly, they reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

Care and cleaning

Each material needs its own care. Silicone tolerates almost anything, while Cyberskin and TPE need specific products. Clean your toy before and after use, let it air dry and store it in its pouch so it does not pick up dust or lint. If it has a motor and its product page does not say “fully waterproof (submersible)”, do not put it under the tap: use the spray and a cloth.

How to choose

• Battery: before buying, check your toy's product page for the size and how many it takes.
• Toy material: choose a cleaner that the product page states is suitable for silicone, TPE or Cyberskin, depending on what you have.
• Cleaner type: spray is handy for everyday use, while wipes are good for carrying with you.
• Sheet: check on the product page whether it is waterproof and whether its size covers your bed.
• Lubricant: with silicone toys, use a water-based one, as silicone-based lubricants can damage their surface.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a cleaner made for toys?

Yes, if you want them to last. Ordinary soap can leave residue that breaks down silicone and TPE over time. Toy cleaners, in spray or liquid form, disinfect without damaging the material. They are not usually expensive and one bottle lasts for months.

What accessories should I buy with my first toy?

Three things: a water-based lubricant, which improves any toy; a toy cleaning spray, which looks after your health and the toy; and a pouch to store it free of dust and lint. It is a small extra cost that doubles the toy's useful life.

Do I need a waterproof sheet to use massage oils?

You do not need one, but it saves work. Massage oils stain ordinary sheets and the mattress. A vinyl sheet goes on top and comes off when you finish, with no need to change the bedding, and you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth to use it again.

What batteries does my vibrator take?

The ones its product page or manual specifies, which give the size and how many it takes. If it is rechargeable, it does not take batteries: you charge it with its cable or its base.

What do I use to clean a TPE or Cyberskin toy?

Warm water and a cleaner suitable for that material, with no harsh soaps. Dry it well and, if it feels sticky, dust it with maintenance powder before storing it.

What is an anal douche for?

For rinsing the rectum with warm water before anal sex, for extra peace of mind. Use it gently and without forcing, and add an anal lubricant for penetration.
