How to Clean & Care for Your Sex Toys – UK Hygiene Guide
Proper cleaning and care ensure your sex toys stay safe, hygienic, and long-lasting. Whether you use vibrators, dildos, anal toys, or couples toys, following the right hygiene routine protects both your health and the toy itself. At Lustery, we recommend these simple but essential steps.
1. Know Your Toy’s Material
The cleaning method depends largely on the toy’s material:
- Silicone – non-porous, very hygienic, easy to clean.
- Glass – smooth, non-porous, compatible with boiling water (if manufacturer allows).
- Stainless Steel – extremely durable and easy to disinfect.
- ABS Plastic – wipe-clean only, not suitable for boiling.
2. Cleaning After Every Use
Always clean your sex toys immediately after use. Use warm water and mild antibacterial soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Rinse thoroughly, especially around textured areas, and let the toy air-dry fully.
3. Deep Cleaning for Extra Safety
For silicone, glass, or metal toys (without motors), deep cleaning is often possible — such as boiling them for 3–5 minutes. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions first.
4. Motorized Toys Need Extra Care
Vibrators and rechargeable toys should never be submerged unless labeled waterproof. Clean their surface with a damp cloth and toy cleaner, avoiding charging ports.
5. Use the Right Lubricant
Water-based lubricant is safe for all toys. Avoid silicone lubricant on silicone toys, as it may degrade the material.
6. Storage Tips
Store your toys in a clean pouch or box, away from heat and dust. Always keep toys separate — some materials can react when touching each other.
7. Discreet Delivery of Cleaning Products
All hygiene products and sex toys from Lustery arrive in plain, discreet packaging anywhere in the UK.
Conclusion
Proper cleaning increases safety, comfort, and the life span of your toys. With the right care routine, your toys can stay fresh and safe for years. Explore safe, body-friendly toys and cleaning products at Lustery.
