It might but it will not stay in place as well.

Place some new batteries in the toy and test to see if it works. If all the contacts are clean, you should be good. If not double check the contacts and re-clean if necessary. If they are clean and it does not work, there is probably some internal damage. Most vibes do not come apart so give it a proper burial and say some nice words about its life.

If it is now working, now it is time for the Dielectric grease. You can use your gloved finger or the eraser of the pencil to apply it to the contact points.








Make sure to cover the contacts good with the grease, I also put some on the new batteries as well. Now you can put the new batteries back in the vibe and turn it on. Hopefully it works like new and you now ready for that playtime you were looking for to begin with.

That sounds pretty simple. The pictures definitely help.

YEAY! Sweet Luckily, I have not had this problem yet.

So what is the purpose of the grease? To prevent it from rusting again?

Yes, most contacts have a "plating" of some kind. When you sand it you will take off some of this coating. The grease will protect it and keep it from rusting/corroding again. Also if you put it on before you have a problem it will prevent it from happening in the first place.

But wait! Before you go play, give it a through cleaning using soap and water first, this will remove any remaining WD-40, follow this with you favorite toy cleaner or anti-bac soap. Have to be safe, eh?




Yeah!!! You are all set, now go get that orgasm!

FYI, this also works for just about anything battery operated; remotes for the TV, the radio or even some cell phones. Also, the Dielectric grease is great at protecting contacts from moisture to begin with and will not impede current (take away power). If you do this when you first get the toy, it will prevent the rust or corrosion from starting.

For those that are concerned about the ingredients of WD-40 and the Dielectric grease, you can look at the following links. *WD-40’s ingredients are a closely guarded secret, so only the basic make up is listed.

Ok... would a dab of the Dielectric Grease on a new toy be overkill? Or could this help to extend the toys life?

No, in fact it would help. I have one vibe that I always have to tap to get it to work, I cleaned of the contacts and put some grease on it and have not had to tap it yet.

That good to know. If you shell out the money for some of these luxury toys especially, anything that would keep them healthy and functional would be quite valuable!
