Cleaning and Storing Your Sex Toys

posted in Sex Toys |

You should consider care and maintenance a factor in choosing a sex toy. They must be cleaned carefully after and before each use.

Remove the batteries before you clean and when you store your toy, to prevent corrosion. Also, batteries can leak and ruin the internal workings.

The quickest and surest way to clean and sterilize your sex toys is by using an non-irritating, alcohol-free, anti-bacterial toy cleaner. Look for a fragrance and alcohol-free, anti-bacterial toy cleaner. Toys can also be cleaned by wiping them with a damp, soapy washcloth or baby wipes.

Take care with the non-waterproof models to use a toy cleaner or use a slightly damp washcloth when cleaning. If water does enter the internal compartment, wipe out what you can with a dry cloth and keep the base off the vibrator until it has a chance to air dry.

Cyberskin and other realistic materials like it, need to also have talcum powder sprinkled on them to keep the material fresh.

Some materials have specific cleaning requirements … read and follow any instructions that come with them, or follow the general advice above.

When considering a place to store toys, think carefully. Many toys are used within the body, which is not a place to be putting dirt and bacteria!

Jelly toys are particularly bad for attracting dust and bits, so be sure that the location is clean.

Toys should be wrapped separately in clean cotton cloths to prevent any transfer of bacteria that may have slipped through cleaning. Washing the toy again before use is also a good habit to get into.
