A well-maintained sex toy is more hygienic and lasts longer. Good news: the right steps are simple. Here is our guide.
When to clean your sex toy?
Before the first use, then before and after each use. This is the golden rule, even if the toy looks clean.
What to use to clean it?
- Warm water and mild soap: the simplest method, preferably fragrance-free.
- Special sex toy cleaner: convenient and suitable for all materials.
- Avoid: alcohol, bleach, household products, and dishwashers, which damage the materials.
Depending on the material
- Silicone: non-porous, it is easily washed with soapy water.
- TPE and "skin" materials: more porous, they should be cleaned gently and then dried thoroughly. A little maintenance powder helps keep them soft.
- Glass and metal: very hygienic, easy to wash.
- Leather and BDSM accessories: a slightly damp cloth, then air dry.
Be careful with electric toys
Check if they are waterproof before putting them under water. Otherwise, clean them with a damp cloth, avoiding the charging port. Recharge the battery regularly, even if you do not use it often.
Drying and storage
Leave to air dry, then store each toy separately in a fabric pouch, away from dust and heat. Avoid letting silicone toys touch each other: some materials react with one another.
The right lubricant
With a silicone toy, always use a water-based lubricant: silicone lubricant can damage the surface.
When to replace it?
If the material becomes sticky, cracks, or changes odor, it is time to replace the toy.
