Toy Care 101: Cleaning, Storage, and Lube Compatibility (So Your Fun Lasts Longer)

Toy Care 101: Cleaning, Storage, and Lube Compatibility (So Your Fun Lasts Longer)

A love letter to your future self

Nothing ruins a vibe like realizing you don’t know where the toy has been.

Toy care is the unsexy step that makes the sexy steps easy.

The basics: clean before and after

  • Before: removes dust and storage funk.
  • After: removes bodily fluids and lube.

Material matters

  • Silicone (body-safe, common)
  • Glass (non-porous, easy to clean)
  • Stainless steel (durable)

Avoid porous “jelly” materials when possible.

Lube compatibility (the part people get wrong)

  • Water-based: safe for most toys.
  • Silicone-based: long-lasting, but can be incompatible with silicone toys.
  • Oil-based: not condom-friendly.

Storage rules

  • Keep toys dry.
  • Store separately (some materials can react).
  • Use a pouch.

“Try this tonight”

Make a toy-care basket:

  • Toy cleaner
  • Soft cloth
  • Water-based lube
  • Storage pouch

FAQ

Can I boil silicone toys?

Some are boil-safe. Check product guidance.

Can I use soap?

Mild soap is often fine, but avoid harsh chemicals.
