Ten questions worth asking.

  1. Can I charge my personal massager with a standard phone charger, or do I need a special adapter?
  2. How do I know when the massager battery is fully charged, and how long does a charge last?
  3. Is it safe to charge the massager overnight, or will that damage the battery over time?
  4. What should I do if my personal massager stops charging or won’t turn on?
  5. How long does the battery typically last before it needs to be replaced?
  6. Are personal massagers waterproof or safe to use in the shower?
  7. What voltage does the massager support, and can I use it while traveling internationally?
  8. How often should I clean my massager, and what is the best way to clean it safely?
  9. How long is the standard warranty, and does it cover battery or motor issues?
  10. Are there areas of the body or medical conditions where using a personal massager is not recommended?
