Chapter Care

Deudare Chapters are designed to be lived with – chosen, stored, and cared for with intention.

Proper care will preserve both performance and presentation over time.

Before First Use

Before use, clean your piece using warm water and a gentle, unscented soap or a toy-safe cleanser.

Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage or use.

After Use

Clean your piece after each use using warm water and a mild, unscented soap or toy-safe cleaner.

Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these may damage surfaces or finishes.

For waterproof pieces, ensure all areas are cleaned carefully, including around buttons or charging ports.

For non-waterproof pieces, avoid submerging electronic components.

Allow to air dry fully before storing.

Storage

Store your pieces in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.

Where possible, store each piece separately to avoid prolonged contact between materials. Certain finishes, including silicone, may react when stored in direct contact with other surfaces over time.

Each Volume I edition includes the toy and a clothbound storage book; the first 500 also include the artist's numbered print. The book is designed for discreet storage within the home.

Care of the Book & Enclosure

Deudare storage books and enclosures should be treated as design pieces.

  • Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Keep in a dry environment.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with moisture or oils.
  • Clean the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Fabric or paper-bound surfaces should not be cleaned with liquids or chemical products.

Handled with care, the book is designed to age gracefully alongside the piece it holds.

Lubrication Compatibility

For silicone pieces, use water-based lubricants only. Silicone-based lubricants may damage the surface over time.

Always patch test unfamiliar products on a small area before use.

Charging & Electrical Care

If your piece is rechargeable:

  • Use only the charging cable provided
  • Ensure it is fully dry before charging
  • Charge on a flat, dry surface
  • Disconnect once fully charged

Do not charge while it is in use or wet.

Material Considerations

  • Silicone
    Body-safe and non-porous. Requires regular cleaning, particularly around textured areas.
  • Metal Components (where applicable)
    Durable and non-porous. Clean with warm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to avoid surface marks.

Safety & Use

Do not share toys between users without thorough cleaning.

Inspect your piece regularly for signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if surfaces are compromised or if electronic components malfunction.

Toys should not be used on broken or irritated skin.

Returns & Warranty
