Sex Toy Cleaning
Want to extend the lifespan of that brand new sex toy? With a bit of care and cleaning, your toys will stay clean and in good working condition.
We have some cleaners available for purchase in our store.
Vibrators
With gentler vibrations and far more variation in size, shape, colour, and texture, battery vibrators are a very popular and less expensive alternative to our electric vibrators. Unfortunately, many of these vibrators are of lesser quality and have an unpredictable life span of a couple of weeks to a couple of years.
We offer a 30 day warranty against manufacturer defects.
What you can do to help your vibrator last longer:
- Keep the batteries outside of the vibrator when you're not using it. this prevents leakage and corrosion of the motor and also prevents you from accidentally leaving the vibrator on low speed.
- Vibrators can be cleaned by wiping them with a wet cloth with mild soap (avoid harsh detergents) or alcohol. avoid getting water near any metal parts that can corrode. be sure to wash your vibrator before its first use and after each subsequent use.
- If your vibrator has a cord between the body and the battery pack be sure not to tug too hard on the cord.
- if you're using the vibrator for penetration always retrieve the vibrator from the base, not the cord.
- Use condoms on toys that are being shared, or that go from the vagina to anus.
- Toys don't lubricate themselves; you may find that using a water based lubricant heightens your pleasure with toys.
Silicone Dildos
Silicone is a great material for dildos. It is resilient, retains body heat, and because it is non-porous, it's easy to clean. The high cost of materials as well as the fact that your silicone dildo is hand-made by a small manufacturer means that you pay a little more- but it is well worth it! Your silicone toy can lead a long and happy life if it's properly taken care of. It can be cleaned with mild soap and water; it can be boiled in water for up to five minutes; and you can even put it in the top rack of a dishwasher.
If you're sharing your toy, or using it both vaginally and anally, put a condom on it to minimize the risk of transmitting infections. Silicone can be damaged by tearing. Even a small cut will quickly turn into a large tear, so keep your toy away from sharp objects, teeth, etc. If you're using your toy in a harness, take extra care to make sure it's not forced through the opening. Silicone-based lubricants should be avoided as they will damage your silicone toy.
Cyberskin
Cyberskin is a super-soft material and has a very realistic feel to it. It's also a very resilient and malleable material, and warms quickly to body temperature. Cyberskin is typically made from a mix of silicone and mineral oil, but should not be boiled like other silicone toys. Cyberskin is typically phthalate-free.
Cyberskin toys can be washed with warm water and mild soap (avoid harsh detergents). Be sure to wash your toy before its first use and after each subsequent use.When the toy dries, you may find that it is sticky to the touch. In this case, just dust your toy with cornstarch and it will feel smooth and silky again (please avoid using talcum powder which has been linked to cervical cancer in women).
Toys don't lubricate themselves; you may find that using a water-based lubricant heightens your pleasure with toys. Please avoid using silicone-based and oil-based lubes with your Cyberskin toy; these lubes can sometimes harm Cyberskin toys.
There is no reliable information regarding the use of Cyberskin toys and any chemical or allergic reactions. If you are concerned about this we recommend you always use a condom on all penetration toys. If you are sharing your toy, or using it both vaginally and anally, put a condom on it to minimize the risk of transmitting infections.
Avoid storing your Cyberskin toys next to toys made of plain or jelly rubber. When Cyberskin is in prolonged contact with plain or jelly rubber toys, it damages the integrity of your Cyberskin product.
Aneros
The Aneros is made of non-porous FDA approved materials. The materials are approved for both body and fluid contact. Your Aneros should last for many years as long as it’s properly cared for.
Clean your Aneros before its first use and after each subsequent use. You can clean your Aneros with warm water and a mild soap. Let it air dry in an open space before storing.
We don't recommend sharing the Aneros. If more than one person is going to use the Aneros use a new condom each time.
Rubber Dildos
Rubber dildos come in a variety of shapes, colours, and sizes.
Caring for them is simple:
- Rubber toys can be cleaned by wiping them with a wet cloth with mild soap (avoid harsh detergents) or alcohol. be sure to wash your toy before its first use and after each subsequent use. toys don't lubricate themselves; you may find that using a water-based lubricant heightens your pleasure with toys.
- There is currently no reliable information regarding the use of plain rubber toys and any chemical or allergic reactions. for this reason we always recommend using condoms on all penetration toys. if you also have a latex allergy please ask which silicone toys would be suitable for use.
If you're sharing your toy, or using it both vaginally and anally, put a condom on it to minimize the risk of transmitting infections. Rubber can be damaged by tearing. Even a small cut will quickly turn into a large tear, so keep your toy away from sharp objects, teeth, etc. If you're using your toy in a harness, take extra care to make sure it's not forced through the opening. Oil-based lubricants should be avoided as they will damage your rubber toy.
