Keeping It Clean: The Best Ways to Clean Male Sex Toys
Introduction: Why Cleaning Your Toys is Non-Negotiable
Let’s get real—your pleasure should never come at the cost of your health. Whether it’s your favorite stroker, prostate massager, or cock ring, proper cleaning is a must to avoid bacteria, funky odors, and material breakdown. In this guide, we’ll cover the best cleaning methods for different materials and recommend top-notch cleaning products from Edging Warehouse.
What Happens If You Don’t Clean Your Toys?
Skipping the cleanup isn’t just gross—it’s risky. Over time, bacteria, fungi, and even mold can build up, leading to:
❌ Irritation & Infections – Your body won’t be happy with lingering bacteria.
❌ Material Breakdown – Certain materials degrade when not cleaned properly.
❌ Bad Odors & Residue – Nobody wants that surprise next time they reach for their toy.
Bottom line? Cleaning is a small step that makes a huge difference.

Silicone (Most High-Quality Toys)
- How to Clean: Wash with warm water and a cleaning product such as Wet Hygienic Toy Cleaner or mild, fragrance-free soap.

TPE & Flesh-Like Materials (Strokers, Fleshlights, etc.)

FAQs
How often should I clean my toys?
After every use! Even if it was just a quick session, bacteria can build up fast.
Can I use regular soap?
Stick to mild, fragrance-free soap. Harsh detergents can break down materials.
What’s the best way to clean a stroker?
Warm water, foaming toy cleaner, and renewing powder afterward. Never use soap with alcohol—it can dry out the material.
How do I clean a vibrating toy?
Avoid submerging it if it’s not waterproof. Instead, wipe it down with Antibacterial Wipes by Aneros or a spray cleaner.
