What does a warming function add to a vibrator? A warming vibrator has a heating element that raises the temperature of part of the toy. Silicone normally feels cool at first touch, and a warmed surface feels closer to body temperature. Many people find that more comfortable, especially for internal use, and it can make the first minutes more relaxing. On the Ardor, warming is listed as its own function alongside the 10 vibrating functions. The source information does not state the temperature it reaches.

How to use
Charge the Ardor with the included USB cord before first use, then wash it with mild soap and warm water. Switch it on and try the 10 vibrating functions against your hand to learn them. Turn on the warming function and give it a little time to heat. Apply water-based lubricant to the bulbous head. Start externally, holding the head against the clitoris or other sensitive areas. For internal use, insert it slowly and angle the head where it feels good. Wash and dry it after use, and let it dry before you charge it again.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only on the silicone.
- Wash with mild soap and warm water after every use.
- Dry it fully before charging.
- Never boil it or put it in a dishwasher.
- Store it in a clean pouch, apart from other silicone toys.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Ardor be used internally?
Yes. The maker describes the tapered end and bulbous head as suited to both internal and external stimulation. Use a water-based lubricant and insert it slowly. No insertable length or diameter is given in the source information.
How warm does it get?
The source information lists a warming function but does not state a temperature or how long it takes to heat. Switch it on a little ahead of time and test the warmth against your hand before use.
Is it waterproof?
It is listed as waterproof. No IPX rating or depth is stated, so we treat that as safe for washing under the tap. Make sure it is dry before you connect the charging cord.
How many settings does it have?
Ten vibrating functions, plus the warming function. The source information does not say how many of the ten are steady speeds and how many are patterns, so plan to try each one.
What is it made of?
The maker lists silicone and ABS. Silicone is the soft part that touches the body, and ABS is a hard plastic commonly used for handles and controls. Use only water-based lubricant, since silicone-based formulas can damage a silicone surface.
