4. Safe-play essentials
-
Patch test new lubes on inner arm for 10 min.
-
Use a pump, not fingers—cuts contamination and mess.
-
Store cool & dark; heat breaks down ingredients faster.
-
Toy care: silicone toy + silicone lube? Use a barrier condom or reach for water-based instead.
Pro tip: keep a travel packet in your festival bag—dust plus dryness is a combo no one wants.
