How Do You Clean Your Sex Toys?
A very important question. It’s all about taking care and doing things properly here. Let’s face it, no one wants to party with a dirty toy.
Sex Toy Cleaners: Your Intimate Toys’ Best Friend
Using one of these special formulas isn’t just a good idea, it’s as essential as wearing a suit to an interview. They’re made specifically to zap any unwanted nasties without harming and damaging your intimate buddies. We don’t like harmful bacteria around here, or anywhere for that matter.
Let’s focus on the main squeeze – spray cleaners. They’re like the ninja warriors of the cleaning world – quick, efficient and get into all the right places. Using them is easier than putting together furniture from IKEA. You’ll just need to mist your objects generously, and make sure you’re covering all the nooks and crannies.
For the textured areas, you’ll want to give them a bit more attention. These areas are like 5-star hotels for bacteria, so it’s important you get them. For battery-operated ones, be careful around the controls and batteries. We want clean, not short-circuited.
Now, talking about those tricky sports. You know the ones, where they have you thinking you need a degree in engineering to clean properly. For those items with crevices deeper than the Grand Canyon, you can use a toothbrush alongside your spray cleaner. It’s like flossing, but for your penis pump!
The Deep Dive: When Sex Toy Cleaners Need Backup
Sometimes, you may need more than just a quick spritz. For non-porous items, like silicone, glass or metal, consider a deep clean. After spraying, let the cleaner soak in for a minute or two, then rinse thoroughly. Think of it as a little spa day for your butt plugs.
If your toy has more curves than a roller coaster, you can use a cotton swap dipped in the cleaner to get to those tight spots. It’s like detailing your car, but with an anal probe instead.
Now, the secret weapon in your cleaning arsenal is a good quality renewal powder. This magic dust is great for the more realistic toys, like male masturbators and realistic dildos. To use it, simply dust your items lightly after cleaning and drying with a spray cleaner. This will make your toy look, feel and smell fresh.
In the end, cleaning your toys is just as important as the fun you have with them. We know that sometimes it might sound like a long and boring task, but the small investment will make sure your favourite dildos and anal sex toys will last for a long time, without causing you any unwanted harm.
Cleaning Your Fleshlight And Pocket Pussies
While we’re on the topic, we thought we’d make a special mention for those who own a Fleshlight Girl, Fleshjack or pocket pussy. Other male masturbators and Tenga toys get a special mention here too. Because of their design, they could be a little tricky to clean. But fear not, we’re here to help you clean these silicone sanctuaries.
If your toy has an outer case like a Fleshlight or a PDX Discreet Shower Soothing Scrub Masturbator, you’ll want to remove the sleeve out of there. You should then proceed to clean the case thoroughly with warm water and soap. It’s seen some things. Trust us. Be very careful to only use soap on the case though. If you use it on the stroker itself, you’ll likely damage the material.
Now, with the sleeve, you’ll need to run warm water all the way through it. Make sure the water isn’t too hot as it will damage the material. If it’s too cold, it won’t be effective for cleaning. We’re looking for the Goldilocks of water temps here! You’ll want to get hands on with it. Get your fingers inside with the water still running, and give it a good old rub, making sure you hit all the nooks and crannies.
You’ll want to add some sex toy cleaner after this stage. Think Fleshlight Wash. This is great for these portable pussies. This will really help dissolving and last bits of lube that might be left, and it will keep things hygienic.
Cleaning Your Sex Toys: Why Drying Properly Is So Important
We can’t stress how important it is to dry your items properly, especially when they have enclosed entrances. If you put them away when they’re still warm and wet, you’re basically creating an environment which is perfect for nasty bacteria to grow and thrive in.
If you can, putting it in a dish rack to try is perfect, otherwise, you can prop it on a towel in the cupboard if you’re playing hide and seek with your housemates!
Once it’s drier than the Sahara Desert, now’s your time to add some of that magic stuff, the renewal powder. We’d recommend the Fleshlight Renew Powder. Obviously designed for their own brand, but can be used with similar items. It keeps the soft, squidgy skin-like material feeling fresh, and it will stop it from collecting any fluff or hairs. Trust us, you need this, and it will keep your toys fresh and new for a long time.
Follow these steps, and your synthetic sweetheart will be ready for action whenever you are.
What Will Happen If You Don’t Clean Your Sex Toys?
It’s not always the most glamourous of tasks, but you really don’t want to neglect your playthings. You wouldn’t leave your dishes unwashed for weeks, especially if these ‘dishes’ go into much more sensitive areas!
Let’s paint a picture. Imagine your favourite Rabbit Vibrator or sex doll, covered in a microscopic jungle of bacteria, fungi and who knows what else. Not exactly the fun and sexy image you had in your head, right? Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But that’s what happens when you skip out on the cleaning.
This happens because these tiny troublemakers love warm, moist environments, which is exactly what your toys create during playtime. Without the right treatment, they’ll throw wild parties on your favourite playthings, inviting all sorts of unwelcome guests.
Sex Toy Cleaners: Why They’re A Must
Now, the common question you might hear is – ‘can’t I just use soap and water?’. Well, you could also use a butter knife to spread peanut butter, but it doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for the job. The specially formulated cleansers are designed to tackle the unique challenges of keeping your goods in pristine condition.
Let’s get into the nitty gritty. Did you know that some bacteria can survive on surfaces for months on end? That’s right, months! This means that your neglected toy could be harboring more life forms than a petri dish in a science lab. Trust us, your genitals don’t want to be carrying out any ‘experiments’ with those!
Fungi love to join the party too. Yeast infections aren’t just a vaginal thing. They can happen anywhere warm and moist. Yep, that means if you don’t want your backdoor to become a bakery, it’s time to invest in some cleaning solutions.
And last but not least, let’s not forget about viruses and infections. Some can survive outside the body for very long periods of time. If you’ve used a toy with previous partners, they can act like a time capsule for their microbes. Not exactly the souvenir you want to keep from them, is it?
So, in a nutshell, what we’re saying is – clean your darn toys people. The consequences can range from mild itching and irritation to the downright dangerous, like infections that might require an embarrassing trip to the doctor! It’s like playing Russian Roulette with your intimate health. And that’s a game you don’t want to win!
So be sure to invest in some good quality gear, the only thing that should be dirty in the bedroom is your imagination.
