- Q. What makes Après Love different from other adult toy brands?
-
A. Apres Love blends elegance, sophistication, and self-care, focusing on dismantling the stigma and taboo around adult toys. Our products are designed like beautiful, contemporary art pieces, body-safe, and perfect for anyone looking to reclaim intimacy freely. Plus, our packaging looks like a book, allowing unique and discreet storage long after unboxing extending their life and reducing single-use waste. We’re also deeply committed to sustainability and ethical practices. From concept to delivery, we aim to reduce as much waste as possible by using recyclable materials, optimising packaging dimensions, and limiting excess. At Apres Love, pleasure and responsibility go hand in hand because intimacy should feel good in every way possible.
- Q. Are your products body-safe?
-
A. Yes, every toy in the Apres Love collection is made with high-quality, body-safe materials such as medical silicone. We prioritise safety and comfort, using premium, non-toxic components that are gentle on your skin and easy to clean. And our lubricant? It’s 100% natural and organic, sourced and made right here in New Zealand.
- Q. How discreet is the packaging?
-
A. Delightfully discreet, yet empowering. Our book-like packaging looks just like a cherished novel on your shelf so it feels approachable and confidence boosting. Display it proudly or tuck it away privately. Your intimate story, shared on your own terms! (Just keep this book to yourself)

- Q. Can I get a refund or exchange if I don’t like the product?
-
A. Due to hygiene reasons, we don’t accept returns or exchanges on intimate products unless they arrive damaged or defective. Please reach out to us within 7 days if your product has any issues, and we’ll make it right.
- Q. How do I clean and care for my toy?
-
A. We recommend cleaning your toy before and after every use with warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol base liquids and store your toy in its original packaging or a clean pouch to keep it safe, dry and dust-free.
- Q. Are your products rechargeable or battery-operated?
-
A. Most of our products are rechargeable for both convenience and sustainability. Each toy comes with a USB charging cable, so you can enjoy uninterrupted pleasure without the hassle of replacing batteries. You’ll also find a QR code inside your packaging that links to clear charging instructions and helpful tips to keep your toy in top shape.
- Q. Do you ship internationally?
-
A. Not just yet. We currently ship New Zealand-wide only. But good news! We’re opening up shipping to Australia within the next month. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when we launch across the ditch.
- Q. Is my order and personal information secure?
-
A. Your privacy is our priority! Our website uses secure encryption to keep your data safe when you shop with us. We use Shopify, a trusted platform that follows strict security standards for handling payments and personal details. We only share your information with trusted partners who help us deliver your order, like payment processors and couriers only. We never sell your data or share it with marketers without your permission. You also have control over your personal data you can update, access, or request deletion of your info, and choose what marketing you receive.

A. Not yet! Gift cards aren’t available at the moment, but we’re working on it. Stay tuned for updates.
- Q. What if I have never used an adult toy before?
-
A. No stress! We’re all about making intimacy fun and easy to explore. Think of it like learning something new. Take your time, try what feels good, and find your own groove. There’s honestly no right or wrong way, just what works for you. We’ve got your back with tips and guides whenever you need them!
- Q. How long does shipping take?
-
A. Shipping usually takes 3-7 business days within New Zealand. We charge a flat rate shipping fee of $5 for all NZ orders. If you have any questions about your order or shipping, feel free to email us at info@apres.love
- Q. What if I have a skin allergy or sensitivity?
-
A. We choose body-safe, hypoallergenic materials to minimise risk. However, if you have known allergies, please check the product details or contact us for specific material info before purchasing. Your safety is our top priority.
- Q. What if I order three or more toys? Will they arrive in one package?
-
A. For safety and shipping regulations, especially regarding lithium batteries, NZ Post requires that no more than two lithium battery-powered toys be shipped together in one package. So, if you order three or more toys, your order might arrive in multiple discreet packages to comply with these safety guidelines.
- Q. How do I safely dispose of used toys in New Zealand?
-
A. To safely dispose of used adult toys, first clean them thoroughly. Do not remove any batteries, especially if non-removable. Securely wrap the toy and, if battery terminals are exposed, cover them with non-conductive tape to prevent hazards. Use resources like WasteMINZ or RecycleMap to find nearby battery recycling facilities that accept small electronics. Avoid putting toys in regular rubbish bins, as this can cause life-threatening hazards and harm the environment.
- Q. What is the shelf life of the lubricant?
-
A. The current batch has an expiry date until July 2027. However, for optimal hygiene and safety, we recommend using the lubricant within 1 year after opening.
