Cleanliness, it is said, is close to godliness.
So, if you want to keep those heavenly orgasms on tap, then hygiene is a non-negotiable must. Whatever the make of your sex toys, for more on keeping your sex toys healthy, read on!
Moisture offers the perfect environment for bacteria, so keeping you and your toys squeaky clean is crucial. Some materials used in sex toys are porous, meaning they're absorbent. We strongly advise you to read the technical info that comes with every toy to clearly understand what you have in your hands.
“Is sex dirty? Yes, if it’s done right…” - Woody Allen
There's the Wrong Way and There's the Right Way
You've flung the pillows across the room, your clothes are scattered all over the place, and you're all aglow and breathless following some epic toy playtime. After a quick dash to the bathroom and giving your toy a quick splash, you ram it into its secret drawer until the next time. However, what you need to know is that while it quietly waits for that next time, it's doing so in a rather unhealthy state.
While a "It looks clean, so it must be clean" approach might work for a white shirt, don't assume it does for your toys. It's always advisable to give your toys more scrupulous attention by (at the very least) washing them with warm water and mild soap.
Once done, dry the toy with a lint-free cloth or air dry thoroughly. Keep it fresh, not funky.
Don't even think about using talcum powder to hurry things up. Trying to discreetly have a quick scratch or swaggering like John Wayne is just not sexy!
As a word of warning - some materials are slightly porous which means your little wand of bliss could absorb odours and fluids from your body. If not cleaned properly, the bacteria on your toys will definitely result in the aforementioned John Wayne swagger!
Simply put, a lack of thorough cleaning can irritate your skin and make you miserable. This is why some bright people produced toy-friendly, antibacterial cleaners and why we've done our homework and saved you a trip to the doctor with an "I have no idea how THAT happened" scenario!
Take our advice, "Be clever, be clean" and follow the instructions from the manufacturers.
