You should be washing your sex toys before and after sex. But knowing it’s what you have to do and following through with it in practicality when you’re bone tired and sleepy after sex is a different story.
Toy cleaners get rid of any body fluid and lube sticking to your toy. It effectively sanitizes all the dirt and bacteria without destroying your toy.
Types of Toy Cleaners
...
Spray Cleaners
Spray cleaners get every part of the toy, even the inside of the openings in strokers.
These are easy to apply as you only have to press the head. Let cleaners like Wicked Toy Cleene sit on the toy for a minute to get the full effect.
Foaming Cleaners
Foaming cleaners are gentle, losing much of the chemical composition of spray cleaners, but equally effective.
These are fast-acting cleaners, only needing to sit for 5-10 seconds to work like with the System JO Refresh.
Wipes
Wipes aren’t as strong as spray or foaming cleaners, but they’re travel-friendly and do the job when you have the least energy.
Your Swiss Navy Premium Wipes can be used on the toy and your body, making them a dual-use item.
Natural and Organic Cleaners
Organic cleaners skip all the harsh chemicals like glycerine, parabens, alcohol, triclosan, etc. It’s for those with sensitive skin.
These cleaners are mostly made of natural material, but they may not be 100% organic. For example, the Sliquid Shine is 95% natural.
FAQs
more exploration. more excitement.
Can I use regular soap to clean my sex toys?
You can use dish soap or antibacterial soap to clean your sex toys along with warm water. But if you don’t have the energy for the entire extravaganza, the Before & After Spray Toy or any other toy cleaner should suffice.
How often should I clean my toys?
You should clean your sex toys before and after sex. You should also be giving it a thorough cleaning if you’re about to switch between genitals.
For example, you should sanitize your vibrating dildo before you switch from your vagina to your anus.
What is the best cleaner for silicone toys?
You should use silicone-free cleaners for silicone toys. If both materials interact with each other, the silicone in the toy cleaner could degrade your silicone toy over time.
For example, the Lelo Toy Cleaning Spray is both alcohol and silicone-free to protect the toy and your sensitive skin.
Are toy cleaners safe for all materials?
Unless the toy cleaner has the same ingredients as the toy material, the toy cleaner is safe. So, a silicone toy shouldn’t be cleaned with a silicone cleaner, and so on.
If you are unsure about the safety of the toy cleaner, you can use organic ones like the Tantus Apothecary.
Do I need to use a toy cleaner before and after each use?
If you aren’t cleaning your toy with dish/antibacterial soap, you should at least be sanitizing the sex toy with a toy cleaner before and after use.
