How to clean your Vibrator the right way

While there are many things you clean without a second thought, many women (14% according to a 2009 study) don't clean their vibrator after each use – naughty ladies! It's important to look after your vibrator, and your health, by cleaning your vibe regularly.

Your vibrator sex toy goes inside your body, so it's imperative that you keep it clean and sanitary. If you don't, you risk introducing potentially harmful bacteria into you vagina! Hence why it's so important to take a few minutes to clean your vibe. Here's how to do it quickly and thoroughly.

1. Use Sex Toy Cleaning Products

While using an antibacterial soap works to clean sex toys, we recommend using a proper sex toy cleaner that also acts as a disinfectant. Using a vibrator made from nonporous materials (such as silicone or glass) is safest since other materials (like latex and jelly rubber, for example) can collect bacteria in the pores.

2. Don’t just rinse – scrub!

Scrub the toy with your hands or a washcloth and a bit of warm water for about a minute and a half. Just remember: Don't completely submerge any toy in water unless it's waterproof. Afterward, pat it dry with a clean towel, and we recommend leaving it to completely dry if it's made from porous materials such as rubber or jelly.

3. Store it safely

Once your vibrator is clean, store it in a clean box or pouch so it's less likely to collect dust. A sex toy storage box or bag will help to ensure your vibrator is stored hygienically, plus you can get locking storage boxes which will keep your sex toys away from curious minds.
