A guide is useful only if it leaves you free to choose, pause or seek qualified help.
Consent is current and voluntary
Agreement to one thing does not mean agreement to everything. A relationship, previous purchase or earlier conversation does not create an obligation. Stop when someone says no, is uncertain or cannot freely consent.
Use the exact product instructions
Check intended use, full material information, power, charging, cleaning, drying and storage. Never assume an item can be submerged or used in any body area because it is small or described as waterproof.
Do not use products to push through symptoms
Stop if you experience pain, numbness, irritation or other concerns. Contact a qualified clinician for persistent or unexplained changes. For urgent symptoms or immediate danger, use your local emergency service; this site is not a response service.
Protect digital and household privacy
Ask before recording, photographing or sharing intimate information. Review connected-device permissions, revoke unwanted access and keep products away from children.
