You’ve found the perfect toy. You’ve had your Ooh La La moment. Now what?
What many people don’t realize is that cleaning and storing your sex toys properly is just as important as using them. It protects your body, your investment, and your long-term pleasure.At Ooh La La Play, we believe in full-spectrum self-care—from safe use to smart storage. Let’s talk about what most people don’t—and should—know.
At vero eos et accusam
Toys touch the most sensitive parts of your body. If not cleaned properly, they can harbor bacteria, cause infections, or wear down faster. But don’t worry—it’s easier than you think.
Here’s your no-shame, no-stress guide to keeping your toys in pristine, pleasure-ready condition.

🧽 Step 1: Clean After Every Use—Always
Even if you didn’t use a toy internally, it still needs cleaning.
Basic Rule:
- Warm water + unscented, mild soap
- OR a toy-specific cleanser (we recommend silicone-safe formulas)
Be sure to:
- Avoid harsh chemicals
- Never boil toys with motors (unless it’s boil-safe silicone)
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free towel
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using body wash with perfume (can irritate your skin and degrade toy material)
- Not cleaning toys used with condoms or lube
- Storing before they’re fully dry (hello, bacteria!)
📦 Step 2: Store Them Safely
Where you keep your toys matters just as much as how you clean them.
Ideal storage:
- Separate bag for each toy (silicone can degrade if touching other materials)
- Cool, dry place (avoid sunlight or humidity)
- Use satin or cotton pouches (many toys come with one!)
đź’ˇ Pro tip: Keep a small basket or drawer with compartments for toys, chargers, and wipes.
⚡ Step 3: Care for Specific Materials
| Material | Cleaning Tip |
|---|---|
| Silicone | Soap + water or boil (if non-vibrating) |
| Glass/Steel | Soap + water or boil, safe for all lubes |
| Jelly/Rubber | Use condoms over them; harder to clean safely |
| ABS Plastic | Wipe clean, do not submerge if battery-powered |
âťť Clean toys = healthy body, long-lasting pleasure, and better peace of mind. âťž
🔋 Bonus: Don’t Forget the Chargers!
- Always unplug when not in use
- Store cords in a small zip bag
- Keep away from water/moisture
- Consider labeling chargers if you own multiple toys
