Proper care of your love toys significantly extends their lifespan and ensures safe, hygienic use. With these simple instructions, your toys will stay like new.
1. Immediate cleaning after use
- The right time: It is best to clean your toy directly after every use, before residue from body fluids or lubricant can dry.
- Warm water and soap: Rinse the toy under running, lukewarm water. Use a mild, fragrance-free, medical-grade soap.
- Important for electronics: For toys with a charging port, pay close attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Waterproof toys (IPX7 or higher) can be cleaned completely underwater. Splash-proof toys must only be wiped clean with a damp cloth – water must not get into the charging port.
2. Disinfection for maximum hygiene
- Use a toy cleaner: After cleaning, spray the toy with a special alcohol-free sex toy cleaner.
- Let it work: Let the cleaner take effect according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 1–2 minutes).
- Remove residue: Afterwards, wipe the toy with a clean, damp cloth or rinse it briefly with clear water to remove loosened particles.
- Note: Never use aggressive household cleaners, hand sanitizer, or alcohol. These destroy the sensitive surface (especially medical-grade silicone) and can lead to skin irritation.
3. Drying and storage
- Lint-free drying: Pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free cloth (e.g., a microfiber cloth). Avoid using standard toilet paper or paper towels, as they leave lint and residue on the material.
- Air dry: Let the toy air dry completely for a few more minutes before storing it.
- Separate storage: Store your toys in a dry, dust-free, and dark place (e.g., in a cotton or satin pouch).
-
Important: Never store toys made of silicone or CyberSkin so that they touch each other directly.
4. Special feature: Realistic materials (TPE / CyberSkin)
- If you own toys made of TPE or CyberSkin, they will need some refreshing powder (or pure cornstarch) after drying.
- Dust the toy lightly to prevent the surface from becoming sticky and attracting dust.
