Cleaning before use

Always clean your toy before use!

• Use soap, hand cleaner, or body wash to scrub the toy itself.
• Be thorough: any part that touches intimate areas must be properly cleaned.
• After scrubbing, rinse off the soap under running water.
• Avoid soaking the toy in water. Even though the toys are waterproof, long-term submersion can still cause damage, so keep that in mind.
• Facial cleansers are not recommended because they are not strong enough to effectively clean toys.
• Once clean, use a clean tissue or towel to gently dry the toy.

Common Mistakes Cleaning After Use

Mistake 1: Cleaning with alcohol

• Many people believe that alcohol is the ultimate disinfectant and its use ensures cleanliness. Although alcohol disinfects, it can also damage toys, making them less durable.

Mistake 2: Disinfecting with hot water

• Is hot water a good alternative to alcohol?
• The answer is NO! Some synthetic resin toys may deform or release harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures.
• Although some silicone toys are labeled as safe to boil, it is still recommended that you do not soak them for too long, as prolonged exposure to hot water can cause them to age more quickly.

Mistake 3: Cleaning with soap or shower gel

• Some women think that since soap or shower gel is suitable for intimate areas, it can also be used on toys.
• However, adult toys are typically made of silicone or rubber, and these cleaners could degrade the material, causing cracks and making toys less durable.
• Many adult stores sell special sprays and cleaners designed for adult toys that are free of alcohol, glycerin, sulfates, and triclosan.
• These products use natural plant-based formulas to gently clean toys.
• Spray it on the toy for 5-10 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Mistake 4: Waterproof toys are not afraid of water!

• Many people assume that toys labeled as waterproof can be fully submerged.
• However, manufacturers recommend rinsing the toy rather than submerging it.
• Be careful with parts such as controllers and battery compartments.
• If the toy uses batteries, make sure they are properly attached before cleaning.

Mistake #5: Only cleaning toys after use

• Silicone toys tend to attract dust due to their stickiness, so they should also be cleaned before use with a cleaner and dried with a soft cloth.

Mistake 6: Using a hairdryer to speed up drying

• Some women living with family members may want to quickly dry and put away their toys to avoid discovery, often using a hair dryer or toilet paper to dry them.
• The toy could then become deformed, cracked or rough.
• Natural air drying is the best option.

Mistake 7: Drying toys in the sun

• Some people think it’s best to dry toys in the sun because sunlight can kill bacteria.
• However, as with a hair dryer, prolonged exposure to the heat of the sun can warp or crack toys.
• A short period of exposure to sunlight for sterilization is acceptable, but be sure to dry and store the toy afterwards.
