Taking Care of Adult Toys

Most people have secrets. You would be surprised at how many people own and use adult toys. Unfortunately, not all people are responsible or educated enough on how to take care of them. Your toys should be looked after well, cleaned often, and stored somewhere dry, dark and preferably private.
How do you take care of your toys?

1. The easiest way to keep things clean is to use a condom. You want to be careful not to transfer bacteria – so use one for each toy (like when you are using a rabbit vibrator).

2. Water based lubrications are recommended for adult toys. You can try moist lubricant spray.
You should never use silicone lubrications for silicone toys – they can damage the material.

3. Oil-based lubrications must never be used on anything that’s going anywhere near a vagina. Oil based and petroleum jelly lubes can damage rubber or latex – including latex condoms.

4. After using your toys, remove its batteries. Whether you’re cleaning it or storing it, batteries don’t mix well with water.

5. Usual cleaning process for toys made from:

Silicone is easy, can be cleaned with hot soapy water.
Rubber and jelly toys are trickier – the material is porous and could be damaged if you don’t treat it gently. Use warm water, or a special anti-bacterial cleaner and a soft cloth.
Metal can be washed or even boiled.
Plastic is best wiped down with a cloth soaked in alcohol

6. Always be sure to dry your toys carefully after. Wrap them in a soft, dry cloth and store them away from sunlight at room temperature.
