Clean your sex toys like a pro.

First, before you even touch them, make sure they're dry. If you've just had a shower and your hair is still damp, wait for it to dry before getting started. And if you're using any kind of lubricant or lube, wipe it off with a towel before beginning the next steps.

Next, don't forget to wash your hands! You may be tempted to rush through this step, but don't do it. Cleaning your sex toys is about keeping them clean—and one of the best ways to do that is with soap and water (or rubbing alcohol). After washing up, grab a paper towel and wipe down your adult toy with it as well as any other surfaces that might have come in contact with bodily fluids (like the bedside table).

Finally, while some people recommend putting toy cleaning wipes in between uses, we think they can end up being more trouble than they're worth. Instead of buying disposable wipes every few weeks or months, why not just give your toys a good scrubbing when they need it? It's easy enough to use antibacterial soap and water on all surfaces—even those that aren't visible when you're using them!
