Medical Silicone, Stainless Steel, Glass (non-electric)

Some products you can even go a step further with. If you have a product with no electronic parts, is waterproof, and is made from either glass, 100% stainless steel, or Medical Grade Silicone, you can actually boil it in water! This is also a good idea if you are sharing your toy as well, But we will get to that later… Remember with Glass products it's important to make sure that you don’t place it directly into rapidly boiling water, place the product into temperate water and slowly bring it to a boil, once you have reached simmering leave it for 1 minute and you’re done!

Vibrating or Electric Products

If your product is vibrating and or has electronic components it’s most likely at least splash-proof, it’s always a good idea to check the packaging to make sure. If this is the case you can rinse under warm, but not too hot, water, spray on the toy cleaner, and rub it in with your hands, then rinse off thoroughly after about 30 seconds. But make sure the product is dry before use. And never submerge wall plug-in products like your Doxy or Body Wand, these are best to be cleaned with toy cleaner and a damp paper towel

Drying

Speaking of drying we always always ALWAYS recommend air drying your toys. Don’t use towels paper or cloth, this can return bacteria to your toy or just particles of paper and cloth which you probably don’t want in or on your sexy parts!

Strokers, Pocket Pussies and Fleshlights; 

These are the hardest toys to clean due to their, crevassed nature. The inside of a masturbator is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and you might think “Well it’s not like it’s going inside me, why should I care…” You should care! Very much, just google “infected penis” and see what kind of horrible implications can be caused by a simple bacterial infection!

We recommend cleaning with a gentle cleaner,

Something skin-safe like the JO Foaming Toy Cleaner. Remove the sleeve from the hard case (if necessary) and cover with warm water. Give it a squeeze and open up the openings to get the water inside the crevasse you can use running water as well to flush the toy out!

Then apply your toy cleaner (do not use soap or detergent we will get to why later)

and give it a good rub inside and out with your clean hands. Then dunk back into the warm water and finish rinse with running warm water. This process will need to be repeated before and after use to be on the safe side. Make sure to air dry before storing. Remember, it's never a good idea to turn your sleeve inside out, this is a great way to rip the material and completely ruin your new toy!

Some materials like Cyberskin and PVC can also benefit by being dusted with toy powder, or even talcum powder after completely dry, this can create a protective barrier and stop any nasties from sticking to the surface while being stored.

What Not To Do!

• Please don’t use household soap and detergent to clean your sex toys! The main reason for this is products like this are designed to leave pleasant scents and antibacterial residues that can be harmful to the ecology of your vagina and anal canal, and in some cases can leave soap scum on or in your toy. Think about your shower screen! We don’t want that in or on our sex toys!
• Never towel-dry your sex toy! Not with a cloth or even a paper towel, it’s not necessary and can cause cross-contamination of bacteria. Air dry only.
• Never assume your toy is waterproof, instead read the packaging and just be careful when cleaning.
• Lastly, unless otherwise stated never use water that is too hot! Especially on vibrating products or products made with Cyberskin or other real feel materials!
