Store sex toys dry, dust-free, separated from each other, and always clean after use. The right storage method prevents wear, bacterial growth, and material damage.
Hygiene and storage tips
Good hygiene starts immediately after use. Thoroughly clean each toy, dry it completely with a clean microfiber cloth, and only store it once fully dry. Always keep toys in a separate fabric or satin storage bag. This prevents materials from damaging each other and stops dust and dirt buildup.
Never place silicone, glass, and metal toys directly against each other. Silicone can stick together, damaging the material. Glass and metal can scratch each other if stored loose in a drawer. Use a lockable storage box or drawer organizer to keep everything neat and safe.
Always store toys in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. UV rays degrade materials, especially silicone and rubber. Temperatures above 40°C can deform or discolor the material.
What to do and what not to do when cleaning toys
Do:
- Clean immediately after use with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a special toy cleaner.
- For toys with motors, use a lightly damp cloth and avoid getting water into the electronics.
- Always dry with a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
- Occasionally disinfect hard material toys such as glass, stainless steel, or high-quality silicone by boiling them for 3 minutes (only if they are fully waterproof and contain no motor).
Do not:
- Do not use harsh cleaning agents like bleach, alcohol, or abrasives; these damage the material.
- Do not use rough sponges or scouring pads; they create microscopic scratches where bacteria accumulate.
- Never fully submerge electric toys unless the manufacturer guarantees they are 100% waterproof.
- Do not store toys wet; moisture causes bacteria and mold growth within 24 hours.
