BDSM toys care

BDSM toys care

Many sex toys used for BDSM activity are intended for insertion inside the body. But even those BDSM toys which always remain outside require thorough cleaning and proper care to remain safe. These BDSM toys are made of various sorts of material. This means that different devices require different ways of cleaning and care.

Metal devices (clamps, handcuffs and some vibrators) are washed with hot water and antibacterial soap (in order to prevent rusting) and dried with a clean towel.

BDSM toys which run on batteries should never be dipped in water, because water is very likely to damage the device. The fact is that the breakage is not always noticeable and at the same time it really can cause very severe consequences, up to electric shock. To remove dirt from microscopic chinks and holes on the device's surface use a soft brush, for example a toothbrush or a soft brush for nails cleaning.

BDSM toys made of rub, silicone and plastic must be washed in the same way, but these materials require more delicacy. Dry them in the open air, rather than with a towel.

To make cleaning of BDSM toys which are supposed to be inserted inside the body (dildos, vibrators, plugs) easier put the condom on these devices every time you use them. Never talc devices made of soft synthetic materials.

BDSM Sex toys made of wood are more difficult to clean and to take care for. Paddles and other similar devices are often provided with a water-repelling coating to prevent the wood from bacteria penetration. Such surfaces are easily cleaned with a soft fabric, hot water and antibacterial soap. Then these BDSM toys must be properly dried.

Unfortunately, wooden BDSM toys cannot serve long, because they cannot be cleaned without damaging. Theoretically they can be washed with a disinfectant. But wood is a porous material, therefore the disinfectant will inevitably soak into the device. As the result the remainders of the disinfectant will activate when the surface gets wet ( because of sweat, vaginal fluids). This can cause skin irritation. Therefore you had better throw the toys away as soon as they get dirty and buy new ones. These BDSM toys are not expensive and can be easily purchased.

All devices should be dried in the sun for a better disinfection. Before putting the toys away for storage make sure they are completely dry. Remove the batteries and keep them separately. All BDSM toys must be kept in a cold dry place.

To protect the toys against dust, put each device into a special case. Metal sex toys should be kept in small bags made of a soft fabric, for example velvet. Keep clamps separately in order to prevent damaging of other sex toys.

Make sure a device is not damaged every time you are going to use it. Never use a toy if you are not sure it is safe to use. Proper cleaning and care will make your toys serve you long.

Enjoy safe pleasure!
