How to Care for Your MYHIXEL Device: Cleaning, Storage, and Maintenance Tips

Your MYHIXEL device is an investment in your sexual wellness, and like any precision tool, it performs best when cared for properly. Regular cleaning and mindful storage not only keep the device hygienic but also preserve the sensitivity and functionality of its components—especially the sleeve and rings.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps for cleaning, storing, and maintaining your MYHIXEL device. Whether you own the MYHIXEL CONTROL II or the original MYHIXEL I, these tips will help you get the most out of your device for years to come.

Cleaning Your MYHIXEL Device: Step-by-Step

After each use, it’s important to clean your MYHIXEL device thoroughly to remove any lubricant, bodily fluids, or debris. Start by disassembling the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the MYHIXEL CONTROL II, this means removing the sleeve and any rings from the main unit.

Rinse the sleeve and rings under lukewarm water—avoid hot water, which can damage the material. Use a mild, unscented soap or a dedicated toy cleaner to gently wash the surfaces. Avoid alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners, as they can degrade the silicone over time. After washing, pat everything dry with a lint-free cloth and allow the components to air-dry completely before reassembly.

• Always unplug and remove batteries before cleaning any electronic parts.
• Never submerge the main control unit in water; use a damp cloth to wipe it down.
• For deeper cleaning, consider using the MYHIXEL Gel + Cream + Oil Bundle's gentle formulas—just avoid getting them inside the device's openings.

Storing Your MYHIXEL Device Properly

Proper storage is key to maintaining the shape and elasticity of your MYHIXEL sleeve and rings. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Heat can warp the silicone, while cold can make it brittle.

Ideally, keep the device in its original packaging or a dedicated storage bag to protect it from dust and lint. If you have multiple components, like the MYHIXEL RING and sleeve, store them separately to prevent them from sticking together. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the device, as this can deform the sleeve.

• Keep the device out of reach of children and pets.
• If storing for an extended period, ensure all parts are completely dry to prevent mold or mildew.
• Consider using the Accessories Pack for MYHIXEL I Device (HANDS FREE + SLEEVE I) to keep your original device organized.

Maintaining the Sleeve and Rings

The sleeve is the heart of your MYHIXEL device, and it requires special attention. Over time, the sleeve may lose some of its original tightness or develop micro-tears. To prolong its life, always handle it gently and avoid stretching it excessively. When cleaning, use your fingers to work the soapy water through the interior, but avoid using sharp objects or brushes that could puncture the material.

The MYHIXEL RING, whether standard or firm, should also be checked regularly for any signs of wear. If the ring becomes loose or damaged, replace it promptly to maintain the device's effectiveness. The Sleeve Replacement for MYHIXEL II Device is available when your original sleeve starts to show signs of wear—replacing it is easy and keeps your device performing like new.

• Inspect the sleeve and rings before each use for any cracks or tears.
• Replace the sleeve every 6-12 months depending on frequency of use.
• Store the sleeve with a light dusting of cornstarch to keep it from becoming tacky (but never use talc-based powders).

Using MYHIXEL Oil and Other Accessories

The MYHIXEL Gel + Cream + Oil Bundle includes an oil that can be used to enhance comfort and sensation during use. A few drops of oil on the sleeve can reduce friction and make the device more comfortable. However, avoid using oil-based lubricants with silicone sleeves, as they can degrade the material over time. Instead, use the MYHIXEL oil sparingly and wipe off any excess after use.

Other accessories, like the Hands-Free attachment, also benefit from regular care. Wipe down any non-electronic accessories after each use and store them in a clean, dry place. Following these simple steps will ensure that every part of your MYHIXEL system remains in top condition.

• Always check the label of any lubricant or oil to ensure it's compatible with your device's material.
• Replace the sleeve if you notice any sticky or tacky residue that won't wash off.
• Keep the MYHIXEL Cream separate from the device; it's for external use only.

Taking a few minutes to clean and store your MYHIXEL device properly will pay off in the long run. Not only will it maintain its performance and hygiene, but it will also extend the lifespan of your investment. By following these simple maintenance tips, you can focus on what matters most—enjoying the benefits of your MYHIXEL device with confidence.
