As far as cleanup goes with Sweet Obsession Cherish, I prefer to wipe her down with a toy cleaning wipe immediately after use. However, this will not really completely clean up her many ticklers. For that, I find myself at the sink with warm water and antibacterial soap, trying to get in between the many silicone ticklers. This is a tedious task for anyone who is particularly OCD about cleanliness. Not at all fun, but necessary.
While silicone can undergo a 10% bleach solution, I am not entirely sure the plastic body of toy will react well to the solution. After reading some articles on disinfecting children's hard plastic toys, it does seem safe but I'd look into it more before deciding to douse this in a mild bleach solution.
Please be sure to only use water based lubricant with this toy. Silicone lubricant will most likely damage the silicone ticklers on Sweet Obsession Cherish.
This toy is easily stored, just so long as you do not leave it in an enclosed space with another silicone toy (they may just want to melt together forever). I keep my Sweet Obsession Cherish in a little plastic bag in the bottom drawer of my wardrobe.
I advise using a protective bag or pouch for people who are storing this toy with possible dust, hair, or lint. Silicone loves to attract lint, and the tiny spaces between the ticklers can prove difficult to clean.
Now, to discuss the battery.
This toy comes with a rechargeable battery, and a charger/adapter for that one battery. There are "instructions" on the side of the box that do an okay job at explaining how to put together the charger/adapter. I use quotes around "instructions" because they aren't very detailed, and they say that the instructions are included inside the package. Well, don't get too excited, because they aren't included. I found myself reading everything that I possibly could on the outside of the box, trying to figure out all the details of my rechargeable battery.
I was successful, so let me give you a run down.
The toy runs on one battery, and lucky for us it is rechargeable and included. However, the battery charger has slots for two batteries. So if you end up absolutely loving this toy, you may find yourself wanting to buy another battery to keep charging for when the first one dies. The battery is 3V lithium (RCR123A, which I assume is the specific model they included). The charger that is included with this toy is 100-240V, and the box says it is able to be disassembled for convenient and easy travel.
Well, I say that is only in theory. Because, all that really meant to me when I opened the box was, "What the heck, my charger is in pieces and now I get to figure out how to make it work." It's not the hardest thing in the world, but I don't think the disassembled version is very much smaller or more convenient for travel. The smaller pieces are at risk for getting lost.
As for putting it together, if you follow the 3 pictures on the side of the box, you should be able to figure it out. The smallest piece, with the prongs to plug into your outlet, slides onto the side of the thickest piece- right above white text that says World-Wide Traveling Battery Charger. The other large piece, with two cells for the batteries, kind of slides/clicks onto the charger. This is the piece I had trouble with, but ended up flipping it upside down and figuring out how it connected.
Once your charger is assembled, you'll want to put your battery in for charging. The "+" and "-" sides are noted in the cells for the batteries. What is not noted is that there are pieces that slide down to accommodate the battery and keep it snugly in the charging port area. You'll have to push that tab down to insert your battery.
When the charger is plugged in, there are flashing lights on the side that flash green and red. There is no explanation on the box for this, and I haven't figured it out either. They were both flashing as I charged my battery, which doesn't seem to confirm a full charge or simply a "charging" status. In fact, when the charger is plugged in without batteries, it will steadily flash green without flashing red.
I wish there had been more instructions and explanations for the charger and battery.
The box tells you that it takes 4.5 hours to fully charge a totally drained battery. The box also says that the fully charged battery will last 1 full hour when used on "high" and 1 hour and 20 minutes when used on the lowest setting.
My battery came with a charge, but I did put it in the charger for a half-hour just to be sure it wouldn't immediately die on me. I've used this for about forty minutes, on high, without having it die prematurely. I suspect that the charge and drain times are accurate, but I can't say for sure because I do not use my vibrators for over an hour.
I was hoping that I could help explain that battery charger a bit more lol
@Antipova, I was leaning toward yes to bleach on this! And thanks, I felt like there wasn't a lot of info on this product already so it needed a bit of a total explanation.
Thank you for the thorough review
