FAQ
Product Questions
I’m having trouble deciding. How do I know it’s the right toy for me?
Sometimes you just feel a spark. You can also ask for our assistance via info@empowerpleasure.com and we’ll do our best to guide you.
I have my eye on a particular product but I still have some questions. Where do I get more information?
Well other than consulting our good old friend, the internet, you can also ask us directly and we’d be happy to help! You can contact us at info@empowerpleasure.com. We’ll get back to you asap.
Do your products include batteries?
Excepting eventually some gift products, all our vibrating products contain batteries, power packs and/or cables.
Help my toy won’t turn on!
Make sure to follow the instructions included with your new toy.
For battery-operated toys, make sure you’ve inspected the battery compartment, placed batteries in their proper positions, and screwed the cap on tightly.
Most rechargeable toys need to be given a full charge before use so let the toy charge to completion before using it for the first time. Refer to the information booklet included for specific charging instructions. Doing so protects the integrity of the battery, much like a cell phone or any other product with a rechargeable battery.
If you still have problems, send us an email!
What if I lose or break my charger for the rechargeable toy?
At this time, Empower Pleasure doesn’t carry replacement chargers. Please contact the manufacturer directly and they will happily assist you!
I don’t like this toy, what now?
Bummer! All of our products are amazing and high-quality but we can always account for personal preferences. Sometimes finding the right one is a bit of trial and error since we can’t realistically offer test-runs before purchase. Luckily, sex toys are versatile, and can be used so many different ways. Feel free to get creative with how you use your toy as it can take a little experimentation to find your sweet spot with a new toy. Vibrating cock rings, dildos, and butt toys can always make for great external vibrators, masturbation sleeves and are great for slipping over a vibrator for some extra texture, and any vibrator makes for a great body massager. Feel free to leave toy reviews with your specific feedback or send us your opinions for future improvements.
How do I clean my toys?
Get in the habit of washing your toys before and after each use. Please refer to your toy’s guide to find instructions for washing the specific material your toy is made from.
What kind of lubes can I use with my toys?
All of our products are compatible with the lubes sold on our site. Just make sure to follow instructions and be sure to clean toys before and after each use.
I drank a bottle of lube, will I be okay?
While we don’t recommend this, all of our lubes are body safe, ingestible, and non-toxic. For your reference, ingredients can be found on the product page as well as on the product packaging.
Can I put this in my butt?
As a general rule of thumb, do not insert anything anally unless it has a definite stopping point (such as a base) or a strong, reinforced pull cord (kegel balls for instance do not have pull cords strong enough to make them safe for anal use). This is because the anus has a vacuum-like quality to it and it’s very easy for toys to get sucked inside due to the great amount of pressure the butt has. Unlike the vaginal canal, there is no end to the anal canal and if the toy were to reach the colon it would pose a great health risk and medical assistance would be required immediately. Empower Pleasure is not liable for the misuse of toys resulting in medical injury.
Are these products safe for use?
These products are sold for the intended use only; we are not responsible for any physical harm caused by any of the products sold herein.
Can I transmit STIS/STDS by sharing this toy?
Any STI that can be transmitted through sexual activity can be spread via a shared sex toy — including STIs that are spread via bodily fluids and those spread through skin-to-skin contact. In addition, you can also get a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or urinary tract infection from improper sharing of a sex toy. Placing a condom over a toy is a great way to make clean-up easy while also preventing the transmission of STIs. In general, we recommend using your sex toys responsibly and keeping them as clean as possible, especially when sharing with a partner to avoid any issues.
I feel pain in the pubic area after using a strap-on dildo. Is this normal?
This is quite normal. Unlike in a heterosexual couple, the pubic areas of lesbian couples are not accustomed to receiving small impacts so the nerve endings are very sensitive. A woman wearing a harness must start slowly and once the pubic area has become accustomed, you can increase the intensity. After you have used it two or three times, your public area will be used to it and you won't experience any more pain. When you start, you can slip a sock between the sex toy and your pubis to cushion it against the impacts.
Is this toy waterproof?
Please refer to the product packaging to verify whether a product is waterproof. If a toy plugs into a wall outlet, do not use the toy near water. Empower Pleasure is not liable for any injury resulting from misuse of a toy.
I’m trying to buy a gift for someone, help!
First of all, you’re an amazing friend. Unless you know this person very intimately, we recommend going for a gift card or lubes and massage products since these are versatile and widely appreciated. But if you do know them well, go to town - they’ll love you for it!
I’m so happy with my purchase, it’s literally changed my life. How can I thank you?
We’re blushing and so happy to hear that you found your thing. You can either express your love publicly by tagging us on Facebook and Instagram or if you’re the more low-key type, you can definitely leave us a message at info@empowerpleasure.com. We appreciate the positivity!
Any other questions?
We’re all ears. You can contact us through info@empowerpleasure.com.

It is expected that the customer who placed the order is aware of the laws and policies of their home country and if you aren’t sure, we recommend you research prior to placing an order.
My order is lost, was stolen, or never arrived. What do I do?
