You will also find that the battery pack is made out of ABS plastic with a PU Coating, plastic is nonporous as well but can't be fully sterilized. While the battery pack can't sterilized you won't have to worry too much about that as it doesn't come in contact with you vagina, penis or anus.
Functions & Controls
The Mini Dil has a lot going on for it to be a smaller toy that appears to be a simple toy. For starters if you like to take playtime to the shower or bathtub this Dil can join you as it is 100% waterproof. To make sure the waterproof function works to its full extent you will want to make sure the at the O-Ring is in place and that the battery cap is screwed on tightly.
As you can see in the photo to the left this Mini Dil runs off of batteries You will need 3 AAA batteries which are NOT included with the Mini Dil. To put the batteries in place you will want to unscrew the cap on the bottom of the controller. Once you have the cap off you will see a battery pack that is where you will want to put your batteries, making sure they are inserted the right then slid the battery pack back into place and close the cap. The batter pack has to be inserted a certain way or it won't go in at all. When your Mini Dil is not being used you will want to remove the batteries so they aren't exploding or corroding inside your Mini Dil ruining it.
You can see on the back of the box that it gives a great deal information on how to properly use you Mini Dil which I find is great to know as a lot of packaging and toys come without instructions. You will find the power button in the middle of the other 4 control buttons. You will want to press the power button before doing anything else. If you want just vibration without rotation NO problem, you can do that by pressing the wavy button directly under the power button. If you wish to intensify the vibrations or switch between the 10 different patterns that the Mini Dil offers you will want to push the wavy button until you reached your desired speed intensity or your desired pattern. To add in rotation you will simply want to push the (+) button to the right of the power button there are 4 speed settings for the rotation to increase you will want to keep pressing the (+) button. If you wish to decrease the rotation speed you will want to push the (-) button to the left of the power button. Wanting to stop rotation all together? Simply push the (-) button til the rotation stops. You can also control the direction that your Mini Dil rotates in by pushing the (R/S) button directly above the power button you can either rotate to the right or rotate to the left. The controls are pretty simple to use and with the long cord that leads from the Mini Dil up to the control means you will actually be able to SEE what buttons you are pushing. No more blindly pushing buttons an hoping for the right sensation.
You can see in the photo above in the Material section that the Mini Dil does have a suction cup base, this base makes it easy to stick to the floor, wall, table ect..... I have found that the suction cup base is NOT strong at all when it comes to the hold. If you are able to push all the air out from underneath it does give it a better hold. If you could care less about about the base being able to stick to things then all is well there. Having the suction cup flared base that the Mini Twistty Dil does have makes this vibe anal safe since the suction cup acts as the barrier to keep the Mini Dil on the outside of the body.
Packaging
I have to say I LOVE the Maia Toys packaging looks even though it isn't discreet in any way, shape or form it is classy. You can see that there is a picture of the Mini Dil on the side of the box as well as it has a peek a boo window that you can open to view the item while it is still in the box. The flap is held closed with velcro. I received all of my Maia Toys with a safety seal that stated NOT to use if that seal was broken. You also find two little pamphlets inside one is information on the colors of the Maia Collection and the other being the User Manual.
When you go to remove the Mini Dil from the box you will find it resting in a plastic holder. While the packaging could be ideal for storing your Mini Twistty Dil you won't have to as it comes along with it's very own custom toy pouch that matches the color of the Dil. We will talk more about the pouch later. If you choose not to store your Mini Dil in original packaging an plan to discard the packaging you can toss it in the recycling bin as it is made out of all recyclable items. If you do however decide to use the original packaging for storage purposes know that it will start to breakdown over time if you are constantly opening and closing the box.
Care & Storage
With all sex toys no matter the material they are made of you will want to make sure that you clean them thoroughly before and after each an EVERY use. Since the Mini Dil is made of silicone it can be sterilized, there is only one way to sterilize a silicone item that has mechanical parts inside though. I will list a few ways you can clean your Mini Twistty Dil but only one of them will sterilize it.
-Antibacterial Toy Cleaners-
You can use any antibacterial toy cleaner of your liking, I use a few different ones an each have their perks. If you use a spray cleaner allow it to sit for a minute before wiping the toy clean. Some antibacterial toy cleaners require you to rinse them off after applying so make sure to read the instructions on the toy cleaner you decide to use.
-Toy Wipes/Baby Wipe-
You can use toy wipes or baby wipes to wipe down you Dil if you would like. I personally only use wipes of any type as a preclean method to get the majority of my vaginal secretions off before using the toy cleaner.
-Antibacterial Soap & Warm Water-
Since the Mini Dil is fully waterproof you will have no worries lathering it up with your favorite antibacterial soap. Make sure that you rinse thoroughly before use or storing. If you are storing allow to air dry before doing so.
-10% Bleach 90% Water-
This particular method is the ONLY way you can sterilize your Mini Dil since it can't be boiled or tossed in the dishwasher even though it is waterproof. You will want to wipe down or soak your Mini Dil in the bleach and water solution for a few minutes. Once you are done soaking the Mini Dil you will want to rinse thoroughly before using or storing. If storing make sure to allow it air dry.
Silicone is best when it is paired with a water based lubricant. If you only use silicone lubricants or hybrid lubricants, you will want to do a spot test on your toy to make sure that there will not be any type of reaction. If no reaction or change in the silicone occurs then you should have the green light to go ahead an use the silicone or hybrid lubricant.
When storing your Mini Dil, you will want to make sure that the batteries are removed from the battery compartment. I personally just take the whole plastic battery pack out of the battery compartment. As you can see the storage pouch is big enough to fit the Mini Dil inside of it. The toy pouch isn't padded but has a drawstring and is made out of a silky material. In all honesty the Maia Toy pouches are better than some of the storage pouches that come with the high dollar luxury vibes.
You can choose to use the storage pouch or the original packaging. For now I am using the original packaging as that is easier for me to do at the moment. If I can figure out a different toy storage system where I can distinguish between the toys aside from the pouch color it will be great!!
So I am all for toys that rotate since I like rotation when it comes to some vibrators. I do not however like vibrators that sound like a coffee grinder, luckily for me I was using the Mini Dil alone. I would have to say that while in use it would be heard through a closed door unless you have on some fans and the TV or radio. Know that closing your legs around the Mini Dil will also just make it seem louder! If I were to have been using this toy with my partner I am sure it would have been a quick turn off and on to the next toy. I do have to say that while the wire is long enough to comfortably change the settings, I am not comfortable with there being an opening around where the wire is inserted into the shaft. My only concern with the opening around where the wire goes in at is bodily fluids seeping in or water getting in there an not being able to get it out.
Upside I am able to feel my inside being swirled and mixed up by the Mini Dil which felt amazing when it swirled against my G-Spot. Plus 1+ for the fact that even though my vaginal muscles are super tight an they constrict during orgasm the rotation didn't stop nor slow down!
