How to Store Sex Toys

Everyone wants to keep their sex toys clean and hygienic, and with the right techniques and the right cleaning products, it's really easy!

Sex toy cleaning and safe storage are crucial factors in whether your pleasure products last a lifetime or just a few minutes. Read on as we explain the best way to clean sex toys.

How to Clean Sex Toys

Whether you’re cleaning a vibrator or a dildo, to ensure maximum hygiene, make sure your sex toys are cleaned before and after you use them. The only thing you need for the cleaning process is hot water, and a clean dry towel or kitchen roll.

To clean:

• Give your toys a rinse with water and then spray them 
• Leave it for 30 seconds or so, and then clean any stubborn areas (such as ridges or nodules) carefully before rinsing all the cleaner off with warm water.
• Leave your toy to air dry on sheets of clean paper towel
• Speed up the process by drying with a clean towel

By cleaning thoroughly and drying your toys completely, you will prevent dust and bacteria build-up and keep them looking, feeling, and - dare we say it - smelling like new.

How to Clean a Fleshlight

A fleshlight is usually made from realistic feel material, which is formulated to feel as close to real skin as possible.

For realistic feel sex toys, there's one extra step that will keep it feeling soft and supple instead of sticky.

• Sprinkle your toy with cornstarch to counteract that tacky feeling.
• Then, ensure the toy is stored separately from any other toys.
