Sex toys can be a great way to take your love life to a whole new level. Millions of couples all over the world, not to mention singles, are using sex toys today. However, it is very important to take good care of sex toys and maintain hygiene since these toys come in direct contact with your genitals. If the sex toys are not kept clean there are chances of developing infections.
Cleaning tips
Cleaning sex toys is extremely easy and it only takes a few minutes. Given below are the steps which you can follow in order to clean the toy after every use:
• If you are using a sex toy which has batteries, remove them first. When you are cleaning toys with water, the batteries can create sparks if they are not removed. Also, when you store the toys after cleaning them, it is always better to remove the batteries first.
• Use lukewarm water, not hot, for cleaning your toys. Also, it would be better to use a cleaning agent which has been made especially for sex toys.
• Once you clean the sex toy, dry it with a clean dry towel and allow it to dry for some time before you store it away.
• Always use a condom while using sex toys, especially if you would be using the same toy for vaginal as well as anal use.
Material cleaning guide
Different types of sex toys are made with different types of material. Each material will have to be cleaned in a different way.
Jelly
If you are using jelly toys you will have to be extra careful while cleaning them. Never use alcohol based products for cleaning jelly toys. Do not use hot water or harsh soap to clean the toy since it will only warp the surface. Clean the toys with warm water and always be gentle with them, do not clean them or scrub them excessively.
Silicone
Silicone is very easy to clean since it can be submerged even in hot water for cleaning. You can dip them in hot water for a while to sterilize them and then dry them thoroughly before storing them away.
Rubber
Rubber cannot be sterilized since it is even more porous. The best thing to do with rubber toys is to use a condom. Always use a very mild soap and warm or cold water to clean rubber toys.
Leather
Leather toys will need some extra care while cleaning. Always rub the leather toys with a damp rag in order to clean them. Ensure that the leather toy is completely dry before you store them.
Plastic
There are plenty of toys which are made from plastic. Plastic toys can be cleaned with a cotton woolen pad or ball which is soaked in alcohol to sterilize it. However, make sure that you thoroughly rinse the toy afterwards otherwise the alcohol might come in contact with your genitals.
Cleaning sex toys is not a very difficult thing to do if you have a little knowledge about the material used in the toys.
