Cleaning your sex toys is more important than you might think.
The way that you clean your sex toy often depends on the material that it's made out of, Cavanah says. Non-porous materials, like silicone, hard plastic, elastomer, metal, or glass, are generally easier to clean, she says. For those, you can wash with a mild, non-irritating soap and water, and don't have to do any special disinfecting.
After you use a sex toy, you should always clean it before you store it, Cavanah says. You don't want body fluids drying on it, and then sitting in a drawer, she says. And depending where you store your toys, you might want to also rinse them off before you use them. If your vibrator or dildo is left out or in contact with other objects, it can collect lint, pet hair, or dust, and will benefit from a quick wash before use.
When you're washing, be careful about submerging your toys completely in water — unless of course they're waterproof, Cavanah says. Waterproof toys can be dropped in a sink of soapy water, but that will damage the motor of others, she says. If your toy isn't waterproof, you should hold it under the faucet or just use a cloth to wipe it down, she suggests.
