Top five tips to keep your sex toys clean

by Tatum Whiting

Here’s how to protect yourself and your investment by taking proper care of your masturbator – after buying and using it.

So, you’re wondering if you need to take any special care to clean your sex toys? The answer is yes – and we’ll show you how!

According to Adult Luxury, masturbators are made from porous material 99.99% of the time – i.e. elastomer, rubber or latex. This means that bacteria, skin cells, and other materials will build up inside the microscopic pores – which could cause the toys to mould and deteriorate over time.

It’s important to clean your toy when you first take it home. Once you finally get your toy, chances are, you’re going to want to use it again.

Here are 5 tips to help keep your sex toys looking dashing:

1. Clean your toy with soap and warm water. Make sure to use mild/unscented soap to avoid leaving a residue on your toys. Alternatively, you can invest in a professional, dermatologically tested toy cleaner. Click here to get yours!

2. If your toy vibrates, be sure to wipe it down with a warm, damp, soapy washcloth. If the toy is waterproof or does not vibrate, you can run it under warm water and clean it with your soap of choice. Rinse away the spray with warm water or wipe it dry with a washcloth.

3. Keep it dry! It's important to let your toy air-dry – turn it inside out if possible – before packing it away. Avoid towels that may leave particles, which could leave fragments on your toy.

4. Top tip via Adult Luxury: Apply cornstarch as needed to keep your toy feeling new.

5. Storage is very important. Be sure to keep your toy out of direct sunlight, in a safe and dust-free environment. Consider a discreet satin bag or plastic container.

Investing in good, quality toys goes a long way. To find out what material your particular toy is made of, check the box or do some research online. When all fails, use a condom – especially for partnered fun when you share toys.
