How to care for your toys

Cleaning Your Adult Toys.

Proper cleaning is vital after each use to maintain safety and hygiene. Here are the steps to effectively clean your adult toys:

Before Use

  • Inspection: Always inspect your toys for any defects or damage before use. Chipped or broken toys can cause injuries.
  • Wash: Rinse your toys with warm water and mild soap before the first use. This removes any dust or residues from the manufacturing process.

After Use

  • Immediate Cleaning: Clean your toys immediately after use. This helps to prevent any bacterial buildup.
  • Specific Methods: Depending on the material:
    • Silicone, Glass, and Metal: These can be washed with warm soapy water or put in the dishwasher (top rack, no high heat).
    • Rubber or Jelly: Clean with mild soap and warm water, but avoid soaking.
  • Sanitise: Use a disinfectant/antibacterial spray designed for adult toys if necessary and follow product instructions carefully.

Storage of Your Adult Toys

Where and how you store adult toys is just as critical as cleaning them. Proper storage can extend the life of your toys and maintain their hygiene:

  • Store your toys in a cool, dry place to prevent damage from heat or humidity.
  • A designated toy bag, pouch, or box helps prevent dust accumulation and keeps them organised.
  • Ensure that different materials do not touch each other, as some can react chemically.

Understanding Personal Hygiene

While cleaning your adult toys is crucial, personal hygiene also plays a vital role in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some personal hygiene practices to consider:

  • Washing Hands: Always wash your hands before and after handling your intimate toys to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Body Maintenance: Regular body hygiene, including grooming, can enhance your overall experience. Clean skin reduces the risk of transferring bacteria to your toys.
  • Never use your toys in the anus and vagina in one sitting without washing, as this can cause infection. Always clean your toys thoroughly between contact with the anus and vagina.
