How to Care For Your Toys Correctly

You just bought your new sex toy, and you're excited to try it out. But wait! Before you get too intimate, there are a few things you need to know about how to care for your new toy correctly.

Just like any other accessory, your sex toys deserve some special attention every now and then so that they last and are safe to use. Read on to learn how to care for your toys correctly and to enjoy your new toy worry-free!

 

How to Wash Your Sex Toys

Sex toys are made from safe materials. These materials are non-porous, meaning that they don't harbor bacteria the way that porous materials like jelly and rubber can. This means that they can be easily cleaned and sanitised, making them a safer option for you and your partner.

Here are some guidelines for washing your sex toys:

  • Wash your sex toys with warm water and mild soap before and after each use. You can also use a TEMPT.VIP intimate wipe to clean your sex toy. These wipes are specially designed to be gentle on your skin and toys, and they're super easy to use. They are also pH-balanced and will help keep your toy bacteria-free. Just take one and give your toy a good wipe-down. Easy peasy!
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean your toys, as these can also damage the material. Harsh chemicals can break down the materials of your toys and make them less effective and more likely to break.
  • Avoid boiling or putting them in the dishwasher, as this can damage them.
  • If your toy is battery-operated, take the batteries out before cleaning to avoid any accidents. Fortunately 99.9% of ours are rechargeable!
  • Ensure that you get all the nooks and crannies of your toy. Make sure to pay special attention to the crevices and hard-to-reach places, and be sure to rinse it off really well.
  • Rinse them off and make sure they are completely dry before storing them away

 

How to Store Your Toys

Now that you know it's important to keep your toys clean, it's time to learn how to store them.

Toys should be stored in a cool, dry place where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

The best way to store your toys is to put them in a bag and then store them in a toy box or drawer. Our tempt. vip sex toys include a satin drawstring bags for storage, and this is a great way to keep them protected and dust-free when they're not in use.

If you don't have either of those, you can also store them in a closet or cabinet. Make sure to keep them away from sharp objects and extreme heat! Ohh and just be sure to keep them away from other toys, as they can pick up bacteria and other contaminants that could potentially lead to infection.

Finally, if you're using toys with batteries, make sure to remove them before storing your toy, as they can leak and damage the toy over time.

Tips for Prolonging the Life of Your Toys

  • Aim to use water-based lubricants with them.
  • Avoid dropping them or subjecting them to too much force.
  • Clean them before and after each use with toy cleaner wipes, cleaner or mild soap and water.
  • Store your toys in a cool, dry place
  • Keep them away from direct sunlight
