Why You Need to Use Adult Toy Cleaners

Using Adult Toy Cleaners after you’ve finished playing with a toy will help prevent the spread of bacteria and STIs. The last thing you want to do after a mind-blowing experience with your favourite toy is clean it, right? But when you consider the alternatives, you might reconsider. Bacteria will build up on toys used in a vagina or anus. If they’re not cleaned after use, that bacteria will be spread into your body on your next play session. It could lead to nasty infections such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), fungal infections, and bacterial vaginosis.

If you share your toy with a partner who has an STI, the toy could transmit the STI onto you too. STIs such as hepatitis and scabies can live for weeks or even months outside the body.

Aside from infections, cleaning your sex toys can help prevent unwanted pregnancies too. Sperm on a used sex toy can be transferred if they’re used in or near a vagina.

How To Clean Sex Toys

Sexual toy cleaners are a quick and easy way to clean everything from dildos to vibrators. There are different types of sex toy cleaners, including sprays and powders. With spray applications, you simply need to spray directly onto the surface of the toy. Rub it in with a damp cloth and then rinse clean under clean water. Use a fresh towel to rub the toy dry.

Your toys can also be cleaned with sex toy wipes, which should be gently rubbed over the surface of the toy. You can also use warm water and mild soap to rinse the toy before patting it dry with a clean towel. Make sure not to submerge electrical components in your toys as this could damage the mechanism.

Silicone toys can be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes to sterilise them. Don’t boil vibrators, though, as you’ll damage the vibrator mechanism. You can also put silicone and glass toys on the top rack of your dishwasher for a deep clean.

Sex toy powders can be used to revitalise your toy. After washing your toy, you should spread a small amount of powder over the toy, making sure to remove any excess powder. This will help renew the surface of your sex toy and leave it feeling velvety and soft.

Sex Toy Cleaners FAQs

Why is it important to clean sex toys?

Used sex toys can harbour bacteria, yeast and other infections. If the toys aren’t cleaned properly, these microorganisms can enter your body on the toy’s next use and infect you. This is especially dangerous if you are sharing your sex toy with other people as the toy can help transmit STIs from one person to another.

Bodily fluids and lubricants can leave residues that, over time, may produce unpleasant odours. Cleaning your toys thoroughly with a sex toy cleaner or sex toy wipes prevents these buildups, keeping them fresh and ready for use.

Regular cleaning can improve the longevity of your toys and maintain their quality. Materials such as silicone can degrade or become damaged if it’s not cleaned and stored properly after use.

How often should I clean my sex toys?

You should clean your sex toys after every use. It may seem like a chore, but a clean toy will give you safe and hygienic fun on its next use. You could also give your toy a rinse or wipe down with a sex toy cleaner before each play session to guarantee it’s clean.

Is there a difference in cleaning methods for different materials?

Don’t submerge electrical components in water; you should use a sex toy cleaner to gently clean vibrators and other electrical toys. Rubber, a notoriously difficult material to clean, can also be cleaned with an adult toy cleaner.

Glass toys can be cleaned with sex toy cleaner or warm water and mild soap. Don’t expose glass toys to extreme temperatures as they may crack or lose their durability. Stainless steel toys can be wiped down with sex toy cleaner, warm water and soap, or boiled. Hard plastic toys shouldn’t be exposed to extreme temperatures or boiled.

Can I sterilize my sex toys in the dishwasher?

You can put some silicone, metal, and glass toys on the top rack of the dishwasher for cleaning. However, this method isn’t suitable for toys with electrical components as they can get damaged. You also shouldn’t put toys made from porous materials, such as rubber, vinyl, and leather, in the dishwasher. If in doubt, use a sexual toy cleaner to wipe down your toys after each use.

Do I need to clean my sex toys if I use a condom with them?

Yes, even if you use a condom, it's essential to clean your toys with a sexual toy cleaner. Condoms can reduce the transfer of bodily fluids, but they don't completely eliminate the risk of bacteria or residue buildup. You should still clean your toys after every use, especially if you are sharing them with another person.
