Sex Toy Hygiene
Care and Cleaning of Sex Toys and Adult Toy Products

Welcome to the Adult Supermart's Sex Toy Hygiene, the
Cleaning and Care of Adult Toy Products...

Sex toys and adult products come in many different shapes, styles and materials. With newer, more life like materials being created for use in the manufacturing of sex toys, figuring out how to best take care of your sexy adult products can be a challenge at times.

Even if your entire collection of personal sex toys and adult novelties consists of just a single item, you'll still want to keep it clean and extend its life as long as possible.

How do I Clean my Sex Toys if I don't know what Materials they are made from?

We get it all the time, "If I don't know the material my sex toy is made of then how on earth am I supposed to know how to clean it appropriately?"

Well, if you no longer have the toy packaging, you may not be sure what material your toy is made of; so simply use warm water and a mild soap or detergent on a washcloth. Antibacterial soap is recommended, and then let your sexy adult toy air dry.

Use Safe Suds Sex Toy Cleaner. It cleans, shines, disinfects and protects all sex toys, better than anything else on the market!

Before washing your adult toys, remove any batteries from the toy. Sex toys should ideally be stored without batteries to help extend the life of your toys and your batteries. If the electric contacts inside your toy are a little corroded, the corrosion can be removed with a cotton swab and some baking soda and then apply a very light film of petroleum jelly to prevent further corrosion.

If you can’t clean your adult toys properly right away, baby wipes can be used as a preliminary clean until you can get to it. Be sure to clean your sex toys thoroughly before using them again. And always check your toys for cracks or splits before using.

For optimimum sex toy cleaning, be sure to follow the Cleaning Instructions for Specific Sex Toy and Adult Product Materials, and remember, unless your vibrator says its “waterproof”, it's not, so do NOT immerse it in water.

Can I wash my Waterproof Vibrator in the Dishwasher?

Only silicone dildos that do not require batteries can be washed in the dishwasher or boiled. Do not submerge any sex toy that takes batteries, and never submerge electrical toys.

Can I Use Antibacterial Soaps or Toy Cleaners to Clean my Adult Sex Toy Products even though I have Ultra Sensitive Skin?

It would be best for you to only use silicone-based toys (they're hypoallergenic). If they do not use batteries, they can be boiled in hot water for cleaning and sterilizing, so no soap or cleaner is necessary.

Will using a Sextoy Cleaner with Nonoxynol-9 increase my risk of STI's?

In a word, No! Nonoxynol-9 will kill any bacteria on your sex toys and then, if rinsed off thoroughly after washing, it will not have any effect on you susceptibility to getting sexually transmitted infections.

What about Sex Toy Safety, Phthalates and the Toxic Sex Toy Scare?

Loving sex toys as we do, the matter of phthalates in sex toys and the risk posed was of concern. That is why we did the appropriate research, and came up with some facts that determined once and for all that the environmental group getting all up in arms over phthalates in vibrators, dildos and other adult toy products, is simply the most bizarre health scare of the year.
