Proper Care of Your Erotic Toys

Proper Care for Your Toys
Many people think they know the proper care for their personal products, but, in fact, the things many of us THINK are good for our toys…are actually very destructive to them. Here are some helpful tips to keep not only your toys in excellent condition but you healthy!

When your toy first arrives, take it out of the package and clean it thoroughly to remove any dust or foreign particles that may have settled on it during manufacturing and shipping.

Your own body's natural Ph (acid in your skin) will slowly over time eat away at soft jelly surfaces on your toys if it is not removed! This even means just massage mitts! And, of course, we definitely don't want to let the even STRONGER acids from bodily fluids settle on our products!

Be sure to clean your products as soon as possible after each use! The longer oils, lotions, and bodily fluids are in contact with those surfaces, the more damage that will accrue over time. This is one factor that determines how long the product will last.

NEVER wash your jelly/latex/silicone/cyberskin products with antibacterial soaps! Although these are extremely deep-cleaning products, they will begin to degrade the protective coating of these soft toys.

If you notice your toy's surface feels rough, throw it away! This means the surface is damaged and can harbor bacteria in those microscopic holes. This can lead to infections for you!

Always wash your toys with an adult toy cleaner. Work the cleaner into the product well to make sure it's clean and you get it into any textured crevices. Rinse with lukewarm to cool water and make sure all of the cleaner is removed.

DO NOT dry soft-surfaced toys with a towel. The towel will leave lint on these toys, which can be harboring bacteria-laden moisture. Try to air-dry your toys as much as possible, and then store them in a covered container to prevent any foreign particles from landing on them. Powder Cyberskin toys with cornstarch after cleaning and store in an airtight container.

If you notice any unusual itching or burning during or after use of a product, discontinue use. If you are certain the toy is thoroughly clean, consult your physician. You may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the material the toy is made of. The safest hypoallergenic toys available are those made from plastic, acrylic, AcryLite, polycarbonates, and most favorably, glass. If you are in doubt of a product's material, consult your FYP representative or the manufacturer of the product itself.
