Remember silicone CAN be sterilized but plastic CANNOT be sterilized.
To clean the silicone part of the shaft there are several ways to clean it but only a few that will sterilize the ONLY the silicone shaft. A (*) will be placed by the ways to sterilize your silicone on the Give It Up!. If there is not an (*) beside the cleaning option it is the ONLY way you can clean the ABS Plastic parts as well as the silicone but cannot sterilize the material. It is recommended that you clean your toys BEFORE & AFTER each and every use and between sharing with a partner or your own orifices.
1.) Antibacterial Toy Cleaners-These come in an array of options some are sprays and some are gels that actually have to be rinsed off in the sink using warm water. If you use one that has to be washed off with water make sure you rinse your Give It Up! thoroughly before use or storing. For the spray cleaner spray the entire toy let the cleaner sit for a minute before wiping clean.
2.) Warm Soap & Antibacterial Soap-Using an antibacterial soap to wash your Give It Up! will get it clean but won't sterilize it. Make sure you rinse thoroughly before using or storing.
3.) Toy Wipes/Baby Wipes-I personally prefer wipes as a pre-clean to my cleaning process with my toys. Using these wipes are really good to get the major bodily fluids off before using a toy spray.
4.) **10% Bleach/90% Water Solution-You can wipe down or soak your Give It Up! for a few minutes. Once you wipe or soak the shaft rinse thoroughly before using or storing.**
When it comes to storing your Give It Up! you have a few options an those are as follows:
Toy Pouch-You can purchase toy pouches designed to store your sex toys in from most toy shops. Toy pouches can keep the toy discreet when storing.
Ziploc Bag-While this may seem a cheap and non discreet way of storing your vibe it will help keep it from touching other toy materials which can cause reactions when together, thus ruining your toys.
Original Packaging-You can use the box that the Give It Up! comes in however, since it is cardboard it will eventually ware out.
When it comes to using silicone toys it is best to use water based personal lubricant if you are in need of lube when playing. If you prefer silicone based or hybrid lubricants you will need to spot test on a part of the silicone that will not come in contact with your vagina. If you notice a reaction with the material wipe clean and discontinue use of silicone lube.
My Experience
So....The verdict is in on the Give It Up! I would say that it is a good toy for the most part. When it comes to the curve and texture some will like it and others will hate it. I had no issues with either. I have to say the MAIN downfall on this one is the same as I had in my Silicone Bendies "O" Review, the control button is in a horrible spot. I can understand that it is in a semi easy to reach area while you are playing BUT it is super easy to accidentally change the settings. This very well could for just about anybody unless you are a size queen then this vibe won't work.
Thanks to CalExotics for sending out the Give It Up! as a part of the Sexpert program!
