Cleaning your dildo might not sound like the most thrilling part of your play routine, but it’s super important. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right tips, your toy will be clean and ready to go in no time. Whether it’s silicone, glass, or another material, we’ll show you exactly what to do. This way, your favourite toy stays fresh, safe and ready for your next orgasm.
We get it – after an amazing moment with your favourite toy, cleaning mode probably isn’t top of mind. Still, learning how to clean a dildo is an absolute must. Why? Here’s why:
An unclean dildo is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Warmth, moisture and body fluids create an ideal environment for unwanted guests.
Some sexually transmitted infections can survive outside the body – even for weeks. So knowing how to clean a dildo is essential, especially if you share your toy or use it more than once in a short time.
Proper care makes your toy last longer and keeps it looking great. A clean dildo = a happy dildo.
Leaving your dildo dirty can cause a musty smell to develop. Not exactly sexy for your next play session...
In short: regularly cleaning your dildo is good for your health, your pleasure and your toy.
Now you know why cleaning your toy after every use is important. But how to clean a dildo the right way? Here are a few simple steps to follow:
Always start by rinsing your dildo under warm water. This helps remove most of the body fluids or lube. You can do this in the shower or sink. Note: toys with a motor usually shouldn’t be fully submerged. Always check the instructions.
Next, apply a mild, unscented soap or a special toy cleaner. Gently massage it over the entire surface of your dildo. Avoid harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the material. Cleaning your dildo with a gentle cleaner keeps it in good condition and helps prevent irritation during use.
Rinse your dildo again with warm water. Soap residue can cause irritation, so take your time. Pay special attention to any ridges or design details.
Pat your dildo dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Then let it air dry for a while to make sure no moisture is left that could cause mould or odours.
A clean dildo deserves a clean storage spot. Keep your toy in a cool, dry place – like in a special toy bag or a dedicated storage pouch. This protects the material and prevents reactions if it comes into contact with other toys made from different materials.
