Answers how to clean female adult toys

Female adult toys are now very popular daily necessities, just like hair dryers and electric toothbrushes. However, due to the special parts they come into contact with during use, how to clean female adult toys correctly is very important to women’s health.

The importance of cleaning and maintaining female adult toys

If female adult toys are not cleaned or the wrong lubricant is used, they are stored incorrectly. It will bring about various problems that will affect her experience, such as deformation of the toy, shortening its service life, increasing the risk of you and your wife contracting germs, etc.

Are high-temperature water and special detergent suitable for cleaning female adult toys?

The relatively unified view on the Internet about cleaning female adult toys is: use high-temperature (100 degrees Celsius) water or special cleaning agents. But the actual situation is not the case. Let’s take a look at the three commonly used materials used in female adult toys products.

ABS is synthetic resin. It is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with a wide range of uses. The material is relatively hard and is generally used as shells and vibrating eggs for sex toys. ABS itself is very safe, but when the temperature exceeds 60°C, the molecular structure will change and propylene will leak out. Nitrile is a highly toxic substance. In order to make toys more beautiful, ABS is usually coated with a thermoplastic film. This film may leak carcinogens when exposed to high temperatures. It is not recommended to use boiling water for disinfection.

TPE is also called thermoplastic elastomer. It can be very soft and has the elasticity of real human muscles. Some toys that simulate male penises use this material. Toys made of this material cannot be sterilized with hot water, and the material will decay, which will cause serious damage. Reducing the life of toys also affects your health.

Silicone has a safe and reliable single-molecule structure and is slightly harder than TPE. The most important thing is that it is the safest of all materials and is also the mainstream material in the market. Silicone can be scalded and disinfected in boiling water, but I personally recommend that the time should not exceed two minutes. After all, it is a rubber material and will age.

Special cleaners for sex toys. Most of these products are actually silicone product cleaners. Although the product description claims to be harmless, as an industrial cleaning product to clean toys that come into contact with your private parts, most users will feel uncomfortable.
