Why is it important to keep sex toys clean?

When it comes to sex toys, hygiene is key. Not only can unclean toys be a breeding ground for bacteria, but they can also lead to skin irritations, infections, and even transmit diseases. This is especially true if you share your toys or use them on different parts of your body.

That's why it's so important to clean your sex toys before and after each use. Not only will this help keep you healthy, but it will also help keep your toys in tip-top condition so that you can enjoy them for many years to cum.

Health risks associated with unclean toys

What's the worst that can happen, you ask? Well, some of the major health risks include:

Bacterial infections

Bacteria can build up on sex toys, especially if not cleaned properly. This can lead to a variety of infections, including UTIs and STIs.

Skin irritations

Unclean toys can cause skin irritations and rashes if not cleaned properly. This is especially true of toys made of porous materials like jelly or rubber, which can absorb chemicals. (Not Cute Little Fuckers, we're made from non-porous, soft silicone).

Chemical burns

Certain chemicals in sex toy cleaners can cause chemical burns if they come into contact with your skin.

Different cleaning methods for different materials

There's a time and a place for playing dirty, and your sex toy is not it!

As important as it is to clean your sex toy, it's equally important to clean it correctly and to use the right cleaning method for the material.

Different materials require different cleaning methods, and certain cleaning products may damage some materials.

For example, some materials can be easily cleaned with soap and water; others may require a sex toy cleaner specifically designed for the material.

Sex toy cleaning products

You can use a few specialized products to help keep them squeaky clean. These products are specially formulated to be gentle on your toy's material while still killing bacteria and other germs.

Before using any of these specialized cleaners, read the instructions carefully.

Some products may require you to soak your toy for a while, so following the instructions is important to ensure your toy is properly cleaned and disinfected.
