Lets talk about keeping things clean and why oh why this is of the upmost importance! If like me you have or had a partner that is in to the sniffing of the used toys then can I start by saying because hygiene with toys is so important you may need to purchase some lower priced toys or disposable toys for this particular need! I like the Satisfyer one night stand and the Me, You and Us anal beads to gift to my special friend who likes my unique aroma, for Birthdays I go a bit higher end and send a Flesh Jackboys dildo!
Also you totally have to consider where you are putting things during your session! Keeping the rectum juice germs away from vulvas and vaginas, as they can cause vaginal infections and UTIs, is a good idea. So that would mean not going from rectum to vulva/vagina full stop. This is where it’s handy to have lots of toys! I have a chest full some date back to 1998! Maybe I shouldn’t admit that? I also like to store mine in clean recycled plastic boxes this way if I haven’t got time before use to clean because I have the burning desire to masturbate, I know it has been cleaned and stored in a clean box so the chances of getting an infection are slim.
One of my friends stores their toys in a sealed ziplock bag? I know, hilarious but surely they deserve snaps for effort! Because we should at least be trying to keep them in some sort of pouch to keep the germs from making their way all over your lovely clean toys! You should also make sure that your sex toys are in an environment that is relatively less humid, in a cool dry place. If your vibrating toys have removable batteries, taking them out between uses keeps the batteries from corroding and ruining your toy. This happened to me once with a toy I won in a nightclub in Blackpool, I was really sad. Of course when society starts to accept that people masturbate and use sex toys in their everyday life, you can keep them out on your night stand, pride of place or have a sex toy shrine with backlighting!
I have just really got carried away with myself there so lets talk cleaning again. It is recommended to wash your toy before and after each use. Toys should be cleaned thoroughly with mild soap and hot water after you take it out of the packaging, they will probably have had dust or bacteria collect on them, even if brand new.
Only wash the outside of your sex toys, if a toys waterproof this doesn’t include the internal components of the device. Although many sex toys are waterproof, you still need to make sure batteries are sealed off before submerging them in water. In fact and tiny gap will let water seep in destroying your toy....disaster!
