How To Properly Clean And Maintain Your Male Masturbator

Let’s say you’ve just gotten yourself a new toy and had a blast. Nice. But here’s the part no one tells you about upfront – if you want that beauty to last and stay ready for action, cleaning and maintenance are non-negotiable. 

Male masturbators are tech wonders for sure, but they need your care, your diligence to keep serving you for years o come. Today we are going to teach you how to treat your masturbator as a VIP without too much effort.

Why Bother? The Lowdown On Cleaning Your Sexy Toy

Skipping a good clean-up is like hitting snooze on hygiene, and believe me, your toy deserves better. Not only will a fresh, clean toy feel way better, but it also keeps things safe. Bacteria? Ugh, not cute at all. Residual lube? Quite gross. And since a quality masturbator can cost a pretty penny, you want it to stay in top shape for as long as possible, right?

Step 1: Check The Manual (Yep, Really!)

Before scrubbing and soaking, take a sec to look at the manufacturer’s advice. Many toys come with unique materials; what works for one toy might not be so hot for another.

Some toys are silicone; others are TPE or even Cyberskin. Each of these materials has its quirks. Silicone’s usually easy-breezy, but softer, more lifelike textures (like cyberskin) require a bit more TLC.

Step 2: Rinse Right Away (Yeah, Like Right Now)

The golden rule says: don’t let things sit. As soon as you’re done, rinse that bad boy. You don’t need fancy solutions immediately – just some lukewarm water to get things started. Hold off on the soap for now, and rinse with warm water. Hot water can mess with certain materials and cold water… well, who’s got time for that? 

Don’t let your toy chill in the sink. Bacteria love wet, humid spots, so rinse everything, but keep it moving toward the next step.

Step 3: Use The Right Cleaners – Not Just Any Soap!

Okay, we’re past the water phase, and now it’s time to bring the cleaning solution to the mix. But wait a second, and don’t reach for that dish soap just yet. Stay gentle and toy-friendly considering best for your little helper, ok? 

A specialized toy cleaner made just for this job. God forbid the use of anything too harsh, like bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, or detergents. Nah! These can dry out the material, make it brittle, and just generally wreck your buddy’s health over time.

Step 4: Dry It Out – Like, Really Dry It Out

Once you’ve rinsed and cleaned your masturbator, you don’t want to put away a damp toy only to find it looking… well, funky next time you reach for it. The best way to dry a toy is just to let it sit out in the open air. 

Place it on a clean, dry towel and give it some time. Resist the urge to stuff a cloth inside for faster drying. This can actually leave fibers behind, and fibers + damp = bad news.

Step 5: Use Cornstarch To Keep It Smooth And Soft

Those made from realistic, skin-like materials can get a little sticky after washing, we all experienced this. Did you know that a light pinch of cornstarch can keep things soft, smooth, and ready to roll? Use just a bit of cornstarch, sprinkle it on, and give it a light dusting. You don’t need a lot, just enough to keep things feeling smooth.

You don’t need to go all-out every single time, but throwing in a cornstarch dusting every few cleanings can keep things feeling fresh.

Step 6: Store It Like A Pro

Stashing your toy in a clean, dry place is just as crucial as keeping it clean. Avoid tossing it in a drawer without any protection, where it could pick up dust, lint, and other random stuff that doesn’t belong. Many modern toys come with a pouch or storage bag, and if it did, use it! This keeps it protected and ready for next time.

Note that extreme temperatures aren’t friends with most toy materials. So keep it somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight.

Final Tips For Keeping Your Toy In Prime Condition

Let’s say it out loud: clean your toy every time you use it. It might seem too boring, but nothing is more cool than having your perfect toy always shiny and ready whenever you need it and it’s still delivering the goods down the road. Check. 

Give your toy a once-over every so often. If the material starts looking rough or worn or has funky smells that don’t go away, it might be time to consider replacing it. Check. 

If you’re not sold on one cleaner, try a few toy-safe options until you find one that feels right. Just keep in mind the “no harsh chemicals” rule, and you’re good.

Take Care And Give It To Your Little Helper

Keeping your male masturbator in great shape is honestly all about the routine you are getting used to. Rinse it, clean it, dry it, and store it right – it’s not rocket science, but it pays back a lot. 

With just a little TLC, your buddy will stay fresh, feel nice, and be ready whenever you need it. So go on, give it the VIP treatment, and enjoy every minute of smooth, clean, fun, and spicy bliss with it.
