Care and cleaning guide for sex toys
- Understanding the materials of your sex toys
Sex toys can be made from a variety of materials, including silicone, plastic, glass, metal, and more. Each material requires specific cleaning methods to ensure optimal hygiene and extend the life of the toy.
- Cleaning sex toys
- Silicone, Glass, Stainless Steel : These materials are non-porous and can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. For a thorough cleaning, silicone and glass toys (without motorized elements) can be boiled for 8-10 minutes or put in the dishwasher without detergent.
- Plastic, latex, jelly, rubber, elastomer : These materials are porous and can harbor bacteria more easily. They should be cleaned with warm water and mild soap after each use. They should not be boiled.
- Motorized toys : Never immerse motorized toys in water, even if the toy is waterproof. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying sex toys
After cleaning, always air dry your sex toys. Do not use cloth towels as they may leave lint on the toy. Make sure the toy is completely dry before storing.
- Storage of sex toys
Store your sex toys in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them together to prevent them from reacting with each other. You can use cloth bags to store them individually.
- Using sex toy cleaners
There are special cleaners for sex toys available on the market. These cleansers are usually alcohol-free and paraben-free. They can be used for a quick cleaning, but do not replace a thorough cleaning with soap and water.
- Regular maintenance
It is recommended to clean your sex toys before and after each use. This not only ensures your health and safety, but also extends the life of your toys.
- Replacement of sex toys
Despite regular maintenance, sex toys do not last forever. If you notice any tears, cracks, or changes in texture, it's time to replace your toy. Also, if the toy runs on batteries, be sure to remove them before storing the toy to avoid the risk of battery leakage.
