🌊 The Art of Water & Desire: How to Clean and Care for Your Toys

Keep it clean, keep it sensual.

At VVD, we believe that exploring desire should never be limited—by space, by time, or even by water.
Whether you’re indulging in a steamy shower or sinking into a warm bath, waterproof toys let you experience pleasure with a sense of freedom and flow.

But after every adventure comes a moment of care.
Proper cleaning and maintenance don’t just protect your toys—they honor your body, your health, and your sensual well-being.


💧 Know Your Toy: Understanding Waterproof Ratings

Before taking your toy into the bath, it’s important to understand what “waterproof” really means.
Our signature VVD toys, Rider Desire and Rider Go, each feature different levels of water resistance.

  • Rider Desire | IPX5 Waterproof
    Protected against splashes and strong jets of water.
    Perfect for use in the shower, but not meant to be fully submerged.
    The base is made of durable plastic, while the seat is wrapped in soft silicone.
    To clean, simply avoid the charging port and gently wipe with a damp cloth.

  • Rider Go | IPX7 Waterproof
    With its fully silicone-covered body, Rider Go can safely handle brief immersion in shallow water (up to 1 meter)—ideal for a relaxing soak.
    However, please note: the magnetic connection area between the wand and the base includes metal contact points and plastic components, which should not be submerged or exposed directly to water.
    When cleaning, detach the wand, wipe the silicone surface separately, and keep the magnetic connectors dry.


🛁 How to Clean Your VVD Toys

Even waterproof toys deserve a gentle touch. Here’s how to keep your favorites in pristine condition:

💦 1. Use mild soap and warm water

Clean with fresh water under 45°C / 113°F and a mild, fragrance-free soap or toy cleaner.
Avoid alcohol, harsh disinfectants, or oil-based products that could damage the silicone surface.

🧽 2. Focus on sensitive areas

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe every curve and groove.

  • For Rider Desire, pay attention to the silicone seat and the base connection.

  • For Rider Go, avoid the magnetic connectors and charging contacts, wiping around them instead of directly on them.

🌬️ 3. Air dry completely

After cleaning, let the toy air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated place.
Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which may deform or discolor silicone.

💋 4. Store it right

Once fully dry, store your toy in a clean, dust-free pouch.
Keep it away from humidity and other metals to preserve its texture and longevity.


✨ A Hint of Pleasure: Playing with Water

🌹 Cleanliness as a Ritual of Self-Love

Cleaning your toy isn’t just maintenance—it’s a ritual of care and continuation.
It’s a reminder that your body deserves attention, your pleasure deserves respect,
and every experience is worth cherishing, from start to finish.

So next time your moment of passion comes to an end,
take a deep breath, run some warm water, and let your care be part of your pleasure.
