Using this pleasure wand is a breeze. First, make sure it's fully charged. You can use the USB charger that comes with it, and it takes about 150 minutes to charge up. Once it's charged, press the buttons on the wand to cycle through the 10 flickering functions and 10 vibration speeds. You can experiment to find your favorite combination. Since it's dual - ended, you can use either end depending on your preference. When you're done, clean it with mild soap and water because it's waterproof. Just make sure to dry it thoroughly before storing. To save battery, turn it off when you're not using it. And when you're traveling, use the travel lock to avoid any accidental starts. Also, always keep it away from sharp objects to prevent damage to the soft silicone material.
