Spring cleaning: how to clean properly and store your sex in

It’s not just in: the toys are so. a lot. amusing. You can explore a new territory, reach new heights and open new trails towards industrial pleasure, all of the comfort of your bed soaked in sin. What could be better, really?

But with great power comes a great responsibility, from friends. It is one thing to defile with deviation all the toys in your toy box until you can no longer see straight, but at the end of the session, someone must clean and stor these babies correctly so that they live to play another day. Otherwise, they run the risk of not keeping their high quality at the high, and they can even cause you industrial health and hygiene problems. No one needs that, nobody wants that.

How to do justice to your toys while keeping the horizons clean

1. Wash them as you wanted

Maybe you are in a hurry (it is difficult not to feel rushed these days for reasons x, y and z). But whatever you do, simply resist giving your toy a half-cul rinsing. Socon savage Night (because this is probably the case). You will want to use a light and non -fragrant soap and lukewarm water for most toys. And if it is 100% waterproof, don’t be afraid to overwhelm it. Do you feel fanciful? You can also always use an appropriate toy cleaner.

2. Opt for deep cleaning

Once you have swept up your naughty sexploration, you could follow up with isopropyl alcohol or a 10% bleach with bleach and standard water for even deeper cleaning. You probably don’t want to do this every time (maybe a monthly ritual?), But if you do, make sure to rinse again with water to avoid irritating your skin during your next use. If your toy is made of glass or metal, or silicone and has no engine inside, you can opt to boil it in hot water.

3. Know your equipment

Not all toys are created equal! Bellea toys, which are mainly in premium silicone, are easy to clean, just like glass and stainless steel. Porous materials, however, need an additional TLC. Porous materials are absorbent, which means that they cannot be completely sterilized. Here, we are talking about materials like hard plastic, cyberskin, elastomer, jelly rubber, nylon, vinyl, acrylic, leather, neoprene and hard plastics. If your toy is porous, consider using a condom above to keep it additional hygienic, because no one likes a mystery infection. Bonus advice: always Use a condom with jelly toys, as they contain potentially dangerous chemicals called phthalates.

4. Abandon the cloth

The towels can contain bacteria / plush / debris, so let your toys breathe after their bath if possible. Dry them in the air as if they are sunbathing in Ibiza. Place them on a beautiful clean paper towel and let them lose their natural humidity (if you have pets, let them dry somewhere inaccessible to your fur friends!). If you must Dry them more proactively because you have a hottie while waiting patiently in your boudoir, use a clean and clean paper towel and dab gently – contamination by crossing is for the chums.

5. Choose the right lubricant

Silicone or oil lubricants stick to silicone toys and will break down the material. Instead, choose a water-based lubricant and always make sure you wash your toy after each use. Meanwhile, oil -based lubricants are perfect for non -silicone toys, anal game and lasting pleasure, but they do not mix with latex condoms (they can wear and make them less effective) and can degrade certain materials. Then you have silicone -based lubricants that offer an ultra -slick and water -resistant slide – perfect for the shower game – but again, not so good for your silicone toys.

6. Storage is important

Once clean and dry, it should do without saying that launching your toy in a dusty drawer with pins to Boby Voyou is not The way to follow, because it beats the goal of your well -intentioned efforts. Instead, keep it in a clean, plush pocket, a toy box or at least a Ziploc bag to keep it away from dirt, hair and other dubious particles. Bonus points if you get a nice little silk lined case for that.

7. Batteries and load bases

While beautiful toys are rechargeable USB, if you have toys that work on good old-fashioned batteries, remove them before storing them, unless you appreciate Surprise corrosion. Battery corrosion is the leak of potassium hydroxide or other chemicals, forming a white, crisp or powder residue that can damage electronic contacts and make your poor toys unusable. While USB rechargeable toys jump the battery tragedy, Always allow them to dry completely before loading to avoid short circuits and unplug them once completely loaded to avoid the wear of the battery.

8. Regular verification

Like relationships with other human beings, toys need maintenance! Check the cracks, discoloration or any funky odor – if it seems to belong to a horror film, withdraw. You deserve better. A damaged toy can trap bacteria in hidden crevices, transforming your pleasure session into a potential risk for health – so in doubt, throw it away!

What if you don’t clean and don’t store your toys?

If you are wondering “will the world really end up if I do not clean immediately and I do not put my good vibrations as a result of a specific set of protocols?” The short answer is yes. Let me explain: although the world as a whole does not end, dirty toys can certainly put a bump in your dome of pleasure, and no one needs it. You have spent a hard -won dough on your toys – the best you can do is give them a full life.

When you do not clean and do not store your sex toys correctly, you run the risk of:

Premature wear of tear: The bad aggressive storage and cleaning methods can cause the decomposition of certain toy materials, leading to cracks and hosting bacteria.

Allergic reactions: Lubricant residues, cleaning products or bacteria can cause skin irritation, itching or allergic reactions during reuse.

Bacterial infections: Inappropriate cleaning can cause bacterial accumulation, which increases the risk of infections such as urinary tract infections and bacterial vaginosis.

Yeast infections: The remains of body fluids and humidity create reproductive soil for yeast, which can cause discomfort and irritation.

Conclusion: At the end of the dirty day, knowledge is power, you demon. So now that you know, go ahead and keep your fun tools as fresh and fabulous as you! Your sex life will thank you later. <3
