Vibrators and other sex toys are valuable allies to guide us to seventh heaven . Whether they cause clitoral stimulation like a wand or are rabbit -type toys, these technological jewels are delicate . It is therefore crucial to maintain your sex toy before and after use . Properly cleaning and caring for your vibrator will prolong its lifespan and your pleasure . In this article, we answer all your questions about cleaning your vibrator and pampering it.

Why should you maintain your sex toys properly?

Whether it leads you to orgasm solo or with your partner, adult toys can also transmit STIs . The hygiene of your favorite vibrator is therefore essential to continue to please yourself safely.

Bacteria such as e-coli, staphylococcus aureus, lactobacillus acidophilus or candida albicans love to lodge on surfaces in contact with the clitoris and vagina. They proliferate and then cause itching that is not at all sexy. 🦠

On the STI side, our toys can also be sources of infection between partners.

Cleaning your sex toy within minutes of your moment of pleasure prevents bacteria and STIs from proliferating or attaching themselves more permanently to its surface.

Buying a vibrator is always an investment, because their price is often high. Beyond hygiene and health, taking care of these products helps extend their lifespan. 😍

Now let's move on to our tips!

How to clean your vibrators?

Silicone vibrator

Silicone is an excellent material for vibrators because it provides a very soft touch while being of high quality . Pure silicone is the material par excellence for rechargeable toys because it is uniformly molded on the stimulation mechanism. Choosing this material was an obvious choice in the design of Coco , our suction clitoral stimulator with vibrations. 💗

To clean your silicone toy, you can simply do it with warm water and a little antibacterial soap . Make sure to rinse well and then let it air dry.

Metal vibrator

Just like silicone, metal is an easy material to clean and maintain . You can therefore wash it using lukewarm water and neutral soap . For drying, opt for a clean cloth or absorbent fabric.

If your vibrator is not waterproof , use a damp towel instead of running it under running water. Whether it is recharged by USB or batteries, Puissante recommends that you be very careful when washing , because not all electric toys are waterproof.💦

Plastic, latex or jelly vibrator

Plastic, latex or jelly are porous materials which reduces cleaning options. In their case, we recommend gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild antibacterial soap. 🧼

Non-porous toys are generally of lower quality and have a shorter lifespan . To maintain optimal hygiene when playing with your partner, remember to put a condom on the device .

Many brands now offer sex toy cleaner formulas. Some products offer an antibacterial and disinfectant effect for better intimate hygiene. These accessories are not essential for the proper maintenance of your pleasure device, but can be practical for saving time and discretion.

Extend the life of your sex toy

The battery

If your sex toy is rechargeable by USB or mains, here are some tips to make its battery last over time. 🔋

  • Let the battery drain completely before recharging it
  • fully charge your devices before using them again, patience is the mother of virtue
  • Store your power cords in a safe place to avoid damaging them (your toy's pouch is a good place to avoid losing them)

If it is battery operated, remove them after each use to maximize their longevity.

Store your toy properly

Like any product in contact with the body, the storage of your sex toys must be optimal. Store them away from dust and light for certain more fragile models.

So we forget the catch-all drawer where lubricants, handcuffs, wands , rabbits, clitoral stimulators, anal and other love devices rub shoulders. 🧰

In addition to collecting dirt from the environment, these toys do not live well in communities . The different materials interact with each other. For example, jelly will tend to melt over time and can damage the various products. ❌

We recommend storing them in fabric pouches or in separate boxes . Avoid plastic containers that disintegrate into microparticles and infiltrate your porous toys.

Congratulations, you are now certified in vibrator cleaning and maintenance ! 🎓You have the keys to take care of your toys for safe use and hours of fun.
