Toy Hygiene 101 (Being Dirty isn't good for toys)

"Dirty Toys? Not On Our Watch: Your Guide to Sex Toys Hygiene

Let's get real: Your pleasure tools deserve the best care. Proper cleaning and maintenance aren't optional; they're essential for a safe and sensational experience. Don't let bacteria crash your party. Follow our no-nonsense guide to keep your toys clean and ready for action.

The Golden Rule: Check the Manual First

Always, always start by reading the manufacturer's instructions. Different toys require different care. Ignore the guidelines at your own peril.

Basic Clean Up: Warm Water & Gentle Soap

For most toys, a simple wash with warm water and a fragrance-free, gentle soap works wonders. Rinse thoroughly to avoid any soapy after-play.

Upgrade Your Arsenal: Toy Cleaners

Consider investing in a dedicated sex toy cleaner. These formulas are designed to clean effectively without harming delicate materials like silicone. Think of it as high-end skincare, but for your toys.

Level Up: Boiling for the Brave

For non-motorized, heat-resistant toys (like silicone or glass), you can go the extra mile with a boil. Always check your manual first.

The Dishwasher Dilemma: Use with Caution!

Got a dishwasher? You can sterilize glass and pure silicone toys on the top rack. But, keep anything with a motor far, far away.

No-Go Zones: Harsh Chemicals & Alcohol

Steer clear of harsh chemicals, alcohol, or anything that contains alcohol. These can damage your toys, and potentially irritate your skin.

Proper Storage: Where Your Toys Rest

After cleaning, your toys need a cool, dry, dark place to rest, away from direct sunlight and extreme temps. Use individual storage bags to keep them separate and avoid any cross-contamination.

Condom Magic: The Smart Move

Using condoms on your toys, particularly when sharing, reduces the risk of transmission and simplifies cleanup. Be smart, play safe.

Remember the Rule: Clean before and after. Keep your toys safe, clean, and ready for your next adventure."
