Compare fixed and removable motors
Check the housing, seams and removal instructions.
Identify what detaches
A removable bullet and an integrated motor have different cleaning requirements. Do not pry out a fixed motor.
Check the external base
Choose a design meant for anal use with a broad base or a retrieval feature that prevents it slipping inside. See Planned Parenthood’s toy safety guide. Stop for pain or bleeding, and get medical help promptly if an item is stuck.
Inspect before charging or use
Set aside a model with loose parts, cracks or a damaged battery seal. Match any replacement to the maker’s instructions.
