First, it is important to understand that unclean toys can
transmit STD's and viruses and if you have any kind of vaginitis
or other medical problem you can end up re-infecting yourself if
you do not keep anything that comes in contact with your body
absolutely clean and germ free.

After Purchase
Anything you purchase should first be
inspected to make sure there are no rough edges. This is
especially true of anything that is plastic. If you find a
rough seam it can easily be smoothed down with a nail file.
If there are instructions, make sure you read the
manufacturers directions and any tips they have about care
and storage.
If the product is rubber you will probably want to let it
air out so that any of the plastic odors will dissipate.
Always clean anything new before you use the product.
How you clean it will depend on the materials that the
product is manufactured from.

For All Sex Toy Usage:
If you are going to share
sex toys or
use the same sex toy vaginally and anally, the most reliable way
to prevent the spread of any disease is to use a condom.
Using a condom prevents having to interrupt to wash up and
also will substantially reduce the risk of transmission.
Even if you are using a condom on the toy make sure that you
clean it after every use.
Most sex toys and aids feel better when used with a lubricant -
but not all lubricants are the same and some can actually
cause harm.
Cleaning Solutions for Sex Toys
Antibacterial soap and warm water
is a must for cleaning sex toys. Any sex toy has come in contact
with blood, should be washed in soap and water and then
soaked in a solution of one part household bleach to nine
parts water. Remember to rinse well in clear water after to
remove any of the cleaning residue. There are also several
commercial adult sex toy cleaning solutions that can be
purchased that have been specially formulated to kill all
bacteria and germs but preserve the life of the sex toys.
Sex Toys & Aids Storage
No matter what your
sex toy or aid material might be,
leather, rubber, silicone, etc., moisture, direct sunlight
or excessive heat will cause damage. Any product that has a
battery should have the battery removed between usage to
keep them from corroding and also from accidentally turning
on and running down the batteries. |
Cyberskin Sex Toys
Cyberskin is extremely sensitive and should be cleaned
following use with warm water and stored in a clean dry place.
Be sure to read the manufacturers instruction on how to care for
these products.

Silicone Sex Toy
Silicone sex toys is a very durable material so it
can be easily cleaned with soap and water, boiling to
disinfect will not harm it and it can even be placed on the
top rack of the dishwasher. Do make sure that the entire
product is silicone and that it does not have any plastic
parts. Anything that is on the device that is not silicone
could be damaged and in this particular case a cleaning with
soap and water will be all that you can do. Even though
silicone is very durable it can crack and a crack can lead
to a tear, so be careful with nails and teeth when you are
handling silicone.
Latex Sex Toys
It is important to know that latex sex
toys can be
severely damaged by anything that is oil or petroleum based.
Latex is primarily used in condoms and dental dams. Use only
water-based products with latex (find latex lubricants
here), store anything latex away from heat or direct
sunlight and discard latex products after use.
Leather Sex Toy & Aids
Leather is a very difficult material to keep
clean because of all the irregularities of the material. To
clean leather, first wash the edges with a strong foaming
cleaner and a brush, then wipe down all of the surfaces with
hydrogen peroxide and allow to dry. Follow this by using
saddle soap for an additional cleaning. The last process is
using a leather conditioner to restore it back to its
natural finish. The leather conditioner is an absolute must
because without it the leather will begin to dry out and
crack. This process does not work on suede

Rubber Dildos, Plugs Sex Toys.
Rubber is a very porous
material, so as previously discussed, the easiest way to
keep them clean is with a condom. Clean all rubber products
after use with soap and warm water. They need to also be
rinsed well as the left over soap residue can cause damage
to the rubber and also irritate the skin.
Vibrators Sex Toy
There are two types of vibrators -
waterproof and non-waterproof. If you own the waterproof
variety then the vibrator can easily be cleaned with soap
and warm water. If the vibrator is not waterproof then you
have to be very careful not to get water in or around the
motor or the batteries. Don't ever immerse a non-waterproof
vibrator in water. If it is the hard plastic model, soak a
cotton ball in rubbing alcohol to clean and then let it dry
and air out. Never use a non-waterproof vibrator under water
and don't take an electric vibrator near the bathtub or any
other body of water. It can cause electric shock just like
any other electrical appliance.
