Sex toys have become increasingly popular over the years, and for good reason. A good sex toy can add spice to your sex life, provide pleasure, and help you explore your sexuality in a safe and enjoyable way. Whether you’ve just purchased your first vibrator or are a hardcore dildo user, it’s important to learn how to take proper care for it.

While it may not sound sexy, cleaning your toys is essential. In this post, we will discuss how to take care and clean sex toys properly.

1#Read the Instructions

When you buy furniture from IKEA, you find instructions to assemble it. Or you decide to cook a special dinner, you follow a recipe. When you buy an appliance, you check the manual to better understand how to make it work. How about when you buy a sex toy? Well, to be safe always read the instructions carefully, especially when using your sex toy for the first time. The instructions will provide you with information on how to properly clean and care for your toy. It will also give you information on how to use the toy safely.

2#Clean Sex Toy Before and After Use

Look, you don’t have to be a clean freak, but you do want to get into the habit of cleaning your sex toys both before and after use. This will help to prevent the buildup and spread of bacteria and other harmful substances. Use warm water and mild soap to clean your toy thoroughly. Pay close attention to any crevices or hard-to-reach areas. If your toy is waterproof, you can also use a toy cleaner specifically designed for sex toys.

3#Store Properly

Once you have cleaned your sex toy, it is important to store it properly. The most important thing to know about storing sex toys – the sex toy must always be clean and dry before putting it away. In addition to being unethical, storing dirty toys is also very dangerous for your health. Even when putting away a toy that is still wet from cleaning can develop bacteria that can cause skin irritation, product malfunction, or even infection the next time the toy is used.

Good sex toy storage solutions should be dry and able to keep a clean toy clean while it’s not in use. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fleshlight, bullet vibrator, a dildo, or butt plug— tossing a sex toy into your bedside table drawer or stashing it under your pillow will leave it exposed to bacteria and airborne pollutants. You really don’t want that!

4#Use Lubricant

Using lubricant can help to reduce friction and increase pleasure during sex toy use. However, it is really important to use the right type of lubricant for your sex toy. Silicone-based lubricants should not be used with silicone-based toys, as they can break down the material. But if you really want to be out of harm’s way, then water-based lubricants are safe to use with all sex toys.

5#Replace your Sex Toy when Necessary

Like any other product, sex toys have a lifespan. Over time, the material may begin to break down, making the toy less effective and potentially less safe. It is important to replace your toy when necessary. If your toy becomes discolored, develops an odor, or shows signs of wear and tear, it is time to replace it. Also it’s good practice to replace sex toys when you have a new sexual partner.

In conclusion, taking care and cleaning sex toys properly is important for your health and safety. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your sex toys provide you with pleasure and exploration in a safe and enjoyable way. Remember to always read the instructions, clean before and after use, store properly, use lubricant, and replace when necessary.
