So, if you’re in the market for a dildo, here are some tips on how to keep it sterile. First and foremost, if the dildo says “for single-use only” **listen to it**! Don’t try to do any extra cleaning to get more use out of it. And, if at all possible, stay away from products that contain phalates or other potentially hazardous chemicals.
Another key thing to remember for dildo sterilization is to avoid prolonged exposure to hot water. Clean it off with soapy water and rinse it off with cold water. The colder the water, the better. And just to be sure, use a mild anti-bacterial soap.
When it comes to drying the dildo, don’t just throw it on a towel or cloth for an extended period of time. Doing that creates a breeding ground for bacteria and other contaminants. Instead, use a hairdryer on a low setting that won’t cause damage to the dildo’s material.
Finally, for those with silicone dildos, make sure to only use water-based lubricants. Oil-based lubes are far more likely to damage the silicone material, making it porous and likely to harbor bacteria. **And nobody wants that!**
I’ll never forget the time I first bought a dildo. I was so excited to try it, but I hadn’t ever done sterilization before. I ended up trying to use soap and hot water, thinking it would make the cleaning process faster. **Boy was I wrong!** It was a tangled web of mess, and I eventually just gave up and moved onto another dildo without cleaning it. Big remind to **NOT** do that!
So to all the dildo-lovers out there, learn from my mistake and **always sterilize your toys**. Be sure to clean them with cold and mild anti-bacterial soap with a hairdryer after every use. It may sound like a hassle and **take a little bit of your time**, but it’s totally worth it in the end!
After I learned my lesson, I started to appreciate the little things that I did to keep my dildos safe and clean. I now take special care to make sure that after each use, I properly sterilize my dildo and store it away for safe keeping. It almost became a therapeutic ritual for me, and I can honestly say that it gives me peace of mind.
Now I want to give a quick shout out to my friends who use dildos. I know cleaning them is **noones fav**, but it’s super important to protect yourself and prolong the life of your toy. So if you’re ever in doubt about cleaning your dildo, just remember that it takes a few minutes and it’s worth it in the end.
Cleaning your dildo doesn’t have to be an arduous chore. There are few products on the market that make clean-up a breeze. From sanitary sprays to alcohol wipes and UV cleaning sticks, there’s no excuse for not keeping your dildo clean and safe from contamination.
Aside from the commercial products, there are a few things you can do at home too. **For instance**, placing your dildo in boiling water for a few minutes works wonders for killing germs as well. Just be sure not to forget about it, and to never submerge an electrical dildo in water!
Still, if you’re unsure about your cleaning methods and don’t have the tools available, ask your doctor or a local sex expert what they recommend. That’s the safest way to make sure your dildo is kept sterile and good as new.
Now that we’ve gone over how to sterilize a dildo, I can’t stress enough the importance of **keeping your dildo clean** and hygienic. Sterilization is a key part of not only protecting yourself from potential infections, but also making sure your toy lasts you a longer period of time.
There is nothing worse than receiving a package in the mail and being excited to try out a new dildo, only to find it’s not in the best condition. I mean, it’s like getting a dog and not cleaning up after it. Not only is it a **not-so-nice surprise**, but it’s also a waste of money.
When used and stored properly, a dildo can last a lifetime. **It’s a great investment and with the right maintenance**, it will bring plenty of pleasure and fun. So remember to keep it clean, stored properly, and use the proper lubricants.
We all want to enjoy our sex toys in the safest and most sensual way possible, and proper sterilization and maintenance are the way to do it. When those rules are followed, it’s a **win-win situation** for all!
