How to Properly Clean Your Sex Toys for Hygiene & Safety

Keeping your sex toys clean is essential for hygiene, safety, and longevity. Below are detailed cleaning guidelines for different types of sex toys:


🧼 Non-Porous Sex Toys

Materials: Glass, metal, silicone, hard plastic

Why? These materials do not have small pores or crevices, making them easier to clean and less likely to trap bacteria.

How to Clean:

  • Wash with mild soap and warm water.
  • Use a sex toy cleaner specifically designed for non-porous toys.
  • Sanitize with a 10% bleach and 90% water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Air dry completely before storing.

🧴 Porous Sex Toys

Materials: Rubber, jelly, PVC

Why? These materials can absorb bacteria due to tiny pores, requiring extra care during cleaning.

How to Clean:

  • Use a toy cleaner designed for porous materials or mild soap and warm water.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or alcohol, as they can break down the material.
  • Rinse thoroughly and air dry before storing.
  • Tip: Consider using a condom over porous toys to extend their lifespan and improve hygiene.

⚡ Battery-Operated & Electronic Sex Toys

Why? These toys should not be fully submerged in water, as it can damage the motor.

How to Clean:

  • Use a damp cloth or a specialized toy cleaner for electronics.
  • Avoid getting water into battery compartments or charging ports.
  • Rinse with a lightly damp cloth, then air dry completely.

🍑 Anal Toys

Why? The anus contains bacteria that can cause infections, so these toys must be cleaned before and after each use.

How to Clean:

  • Use a toy cleaner designed for anal toys or mild soap and warm water.
  • Sanitize thoroughly to remove any bacteria.
  • Rinse well and let it air dry completely before storage.

Charge & dry properly before storing rechargeable toys.
Consider using condoms with porous materials to enhance cleanliness.
