Let's talk about keeping your silicone dildo in perfect shape. Lucky for you, cleaning a silicone toy is easy. Being non-porous makes them one of the best dildos you can buy. These toys don't let bacteria burrow down; everything sits right on the surface, waiting for you to wipe it away. So, let's ensure your dildo stays just that – soft and safe, not a bacteria-ridden buzzkill. Keeping it pristine means keeping you protected from any hanky-panky hijinks that come with unwanted infections.
Why Is It Important To Keep My Silicone Dildo Clean?
You wouldn’t use a toy that’s dirty or covered in residues, would you? Think about it—bodily fluids and lube don't just vanish; they linger, creating a not-so-sensual film on your smooth dildo. Add to that the everyday dust, the rogue pet hairs, and you've brewed a concoction for potential infections. Not exactly the kind of excitement you're looking for.
But wait—before you get all hot and bothered over bacteria, let's remember that your softest toy is also the easiest to keep pristine. With minimal effort, you can keep the good times rolling without a worry in the world. After all, safety is the ultimate turn-on, especially when it comes to keeping an anal toy clean.
Easy Methods To Clean And Maintain Hygiene
Keeping your non-porous silicone toys spick-and-span doesn't have to be a chore. Here's a no-fuss guide that'll have you back to playtime in no time.
-
Soap and Warm Water or Toy Cleaner – Grab a mild soap or a specialized toy cleaner and give your toy a good lather under warm water. Rinse thoroughly, because residue is a no-no. Then, just let it air dry.
-
Dry, Sterile Tissues – Post-play, you might just want to crash. We get it. But take a second to grab some dry, sterile tissues and wipe off any immediate residue.
-
Boil If Non-Electrical – Got a silicone sex toy without the bells and whistles? Give it a spa day by boiling it in water for up to 3 minutes. But keep an eye on the clock—overcooking is only good for pasta, not your dildos.
-
Electrical Components? Check Instructions – If your toy buzzes, pulses, or lights up, first remove the batteries. Then, peek at the manufacturer's instructions. Waterproof wonders can often take a dip, but others might need a gentler approach.
-
Condom Cover-Up – In a pinch or when sharing, wrapping your silicone sex toy in a condom is a smart move. It's like a mini raincoat for your toy—keeping things clean and still very much keen.
Follow these steps, and you'll ensure your silicone toys are ready for action whenever you are. Clean play is safe play, so let's keep things pristine.
Storage
Now, let's talk about tucking your toy away safely. After a good cleaning, you’ll want to store your dildo in a non-plastic container—think of it as a cozy little bed for your pal. Why non-plastic, you ask? Because you’re aiming for a sterile environment, free from any fluff or dust bunnies that might be lurking around. Fabric pouches or satin bags are a go-to—they're like the silk pajamas of sex toy storage.
Be mindful not to let your silicone toys play too close together in the drawer. Silicone-on-silicone contact can be more drama than an episode of reality TV for your toys—it can actually degrade the material. So, keep them separated! Think of it as giving them personal space; after all, even your most intimate items need a little room to breathe. Keeping your silicone dildos apart ensures they'll be ready and in tip-top shape for your next rendezvous.
