How to clean sex toys?

What can you use to clean the sex kit you bought!?

I could start with a lot of things to prioritize what to look out for when cleaning, so I'll start with what not to clean a sex kit;

never use any alcohol-based cleaners, alcohol-based disinfectants or dishwashing detergents to clean sex accessories!!

this should be the priority, because they will ruin the sex toy material very quickly!

the easiest is to use some kind of soap, antibacterial liquid soap, shower gel, if possible natural, fragrance-free products so as not to cause possible irritation in the vagina

depending on the use, you should treat your sex toys at least once a week/month with an antibacterial disinfectant spray available in sex shops for complete intimate hygiene!

How to clean sex toys?

when starting to clean your sex toy, one very important thing will determine how you start, and that is knowing whether the sex toy you have is electric (battery operated) or not

I think let's start with the simple version, i.e. the sex accessories you buy are not electrical, which is also common, since there are lots of dildos, penises and anal dilators and stimulators on the shelves of the sexbox sexshop (Intim Kuckó Kecskemét)

cleaning of non-vibratory sex toys

as they have no electrical parts, cleaning them is easy; you take the sex kit and rinse it under running water with lukewarm water (before/after use), then rub it well with soap (liquid, antibacterial etc.) using your hands, then rinse again and you're done

Important! do not use any tool that can cause surface damage (nail brush, rough sponge, etc.) because it can harbour bacteria and be very difficult to disinfect, and do not wipe with fuzzy or fluffy textiles because they can also cause infection, this also applies to cleaning vibration products

well, the one without electronics is very easy and quick to do, you can do it in a few minutes

I will write about storage later, because the way it is done is the same as for vibrating sex toys

cleaning vibration sex toys

well, this pleasure category needs more attention during cleaning

the first and most important rule when cleaning these sex toys is that the ELECTRICAL PARTS SHOULD NOT BE WET WITH WATER!

whether or not this will be difficult to comply with will be greatly influenced by the quality of the sex toy you buy and the sophistication of the technique used

for electrical appliances, there are battery-powered and rechargeable battery versions

unfortunately, in the case of battery-powered sex toys, it is not entirely possible to waterproof the battery compartment in the case of simple and low-priced products, so you should pay special attention to ensure that this part is never submerged in water, even when rinsing!

there are not many battery-powered vibrating sex toys on the market anymore, as they are not an environmentally friendly technology, and as we have just seen, they are very difficult to clean

Cleaning of sex toys

if you did buy one or if it was given to you as a gift, do the following to clean it; grip the electric part (cap) so that it is not exposed to water and the rest of the process is the same as for the non-electric part (rinse, soap, rinse)

there are also battery-operated sex toys that have an external battery holder and are connected to the vibrating part itself via a cord

in this case, keep the battery compartment away from water and clean the sex kit itself as described above

Cleaning of rechargeable, battery-operated sex toys

modern sex toys now use rechargeable, battery-powered technology, which also makes it easier to keep the product clean

two common methods of connecting the USB charger are currently used, one is the Jack plug version, and the other is a click-on, magnetic connector

Jack plug version

in the first version, the Jack plug is inserted into the product at the marked position for filling, which in most cases is covered by a self-sealing silicone cover

this self-sealing silicone ensures that no water gets into the electrical parts of the appliance during cleaning

BUT! the experience is that it does seal well the first few times, but as time goes by and the frequency of filling increases, the opening widens more and more, it doesn't seal back as quickly and perfectly

so it is also advisable to put your finger on the charging port of these sex toys, so that water does not accidentally get into the electrical parts

the cleaning process itself is the same as described above (rinse, soap, rinse)

click, magnetic connector

I have some very good news for you, because if I have a sex kit like this, it will be very easy and quick for you to clean

in the case of sex toys using the magnetic, click technique, the connection is completely waterproof, no fuss, just the usual way (rinse, soap, rinse) and you're done in a few minutes

What does it mean to say that a vibrator is drop proof/waterproof?

the "waterproof" marking does not mean that your product is completely waterproof, i.e. you can't put it in submerged water, in the bath!

in the case of a sex watch, I think this only exhausts the drip-proof category, i.e. the design and insulation of the control buttons are such that no water gets into the electrical parts during cleaning

unfortunately, due to the specific Hungarian interpretation, this term is often misleading for the customer, so I would like to draw your attention to this

there are also fully waterproof sex accessories, but these carry the relevant markings; IP67 or IP68

sex toys with this marking are safe to use while showering or bathing, while the rest are not recommended!

Sex accessories that require special cleaning

yes, there is a special version of sex toys; ANAL toys, which, due to their specific use, require more attention during cleaning

because the rectum is a bacterial colony, the lubricants you use here will also carry them

where you can, you should wear a condom, making it easier to keep clean

of course, for many products this is not feasible because of the special shapes, so you have to be more careful with these accessories

It is important to clean your anal sex equipment immediately after use, because if you get any place on it, there is a risk of infection later

well, what is not vibrating you can easily wash away (rinse, soap, rinse), maybe soap it a little longer or even soak it in the sink

and handle the vibrating anal toys carefully as described in the vibration cleaning

at the end of both cleanings, it is recommended to treat with an antibacterial disinfectant spray available in sex shops for complete intimate hygiene!

another golden rule is that the sex toys you use to stimulate the buttocks should not be used to stimulate the vagina or clitoris, because there is almost certainly a possibility of infection!!!

Nature Skin, Flashlight materials

for these special, realistic sex toys, there is an extra thing to do after cleaning to keep the product soft and non-sticky, preferably by applying a natural, fragrance-free powder or the special factory regenerating powder to the outer surface

UV disinfection and sterilization box(es)

I told you that the sex industry also uses the latest technologies

and this is no different, as these so-called UV disinfectants are the ones that kill 99% of the bacteria on the product, even after just 5 minutes of treatment

I really recommend it for those who are very sensitive to all kinds of bacillus, but don't want to miss out on the pleasure of sex toys

How to store your sex accessories?

now that you're done with the cleaning process, I'd also like to tell you how to store your sex accessories for long-lasting durability/quality

in this case, the most important rule is that you must store all your sex accessories separately, i.e. the products must not come into direct contact with each other

so, it doesn't mean to store them in opposite corners of the room, but use a textile, preferably not fluffy, pushing bag in which they can be stored together in a drawer or cupboard

most sex toys already come with a storage pouch to protect the product hygienically

you cannot store it in its own box after use, because it can react with the substances inside

the material of sex toys changes in a specific way after use, which means that if they touch each other directly during storage they can stick together, or in worse cases, fuse together

so it's not your fault it's the nature of the materials

in the case of battery-powered vibrators, remove the batteries and store them separately, as even the slightest moisture will cause them to seal and damage the quality and usability of the product

Well, I hope I have given you a detailed overview of the recommendations for cleaning and storing different sex toys to ensure the longevity of your sex toys and the healthy intimate hygiene that is most important to you!
