Proper Toy Care: Clean, Store & Protect Your Pleasure Tools

Pleasure is personal, and so is the way we care for our favorite toys. Whether you’re a seasoned toy lover or just starting to build your collection, taking care of your adult toys ensures they stay safe, effective, and ready for play. In this guide, we’ll cover how to clean, store, and maintain your toys, and why cornstarch or baby powder might be your toy's secret weapon.

🧼 Cleaning Your Toys: A Must for Safety

Before & after every use, your toy should be cleaned to remove bacteria and bodily fluids.

How to Clean:

• Non-porous materials (silicone, glass, stainless steel): Wash with warm water and gentle, unscented soap or a toy cleaner.
• Porous materials (cyberskin, jelly, TPR): Use lukewarm water and mild soap. These materials are more delicate and can hold onto bacteria, so be gentle and thorough.
• Motorized or battery-powered toys: If not waterproof, avoid submerging. Wipe down with a damp cloth and be careful near charging ports.

Tip: Use a dedicated toy cleaner for an extra layer of safety, especially on toys used for anal play.

🧴 Storage: Keep It Safe & Discreet

• How you store your toys matters just as much as how you clean them.
• Separate toys to prevent material breakdown, especially silicone.
• Use breathable fabric pouches (like satin or cotton) instead of airtight plastic bags.
• Store in a cool, dry space away from heat or direct sunlight.
• Remove batteries when not in use to prevent corrosion.

🌟 Preserving Soft Toys with Cornstarch or Baby Powder

Toys made of cyberskin, TPR, or similar soft materials feel lifelike, but they can become sticky over time. That’s where cornstarch or talc-free baby powder comes in.

How to Use:

1. Clean and fully dry your toy first.
2. Lightly dust it with cornstarch or baby powder to maintain a soft, non-sticky feel.
3. Store in a separate pouch to avoid powder transfer to other toys.

Why it helps: These materials can degrade or get tacky if left untreated. The powder helps absorb excess moisture and keeps the surface silky smooth.

Important: Avoid using scented or talc-based powders, as they can irritate sensitive areas or cause infection.

🔄 Routine Maintenance Tips

• Inspect toys regularly for wear, cracks, or discoloration.
• Use compatible lubricants: Water-based lube is safe for all toys. Silicone-based lube can degrade silicone toys—so double-check compatibility.
• Retire toys that are damaged or showing signs of mold or breakdown.
• Rechargeable toys? Don’t overcharge—stick to manufacturer guidelines.

Caring for your toys is caring for you. Clean, safe, and well-maintained toys create a better pleasure experience and help you stay connected to your body in a safe, healthy way. With a little love and the right care, your favorite tools of pleasure will last you a long time.
