EasyGlide Toy Cleaner – Antibacterial Cleaner for Adult Toys - 150ml

Product Information

If you can’t pronounce most of the words listed, you should double check the liquid you’re using to clean your toys that go inside your body are not harmful. As it's both fragrance-free and effective at disinfecting (it contains 70 percent ethyl alcohol), Clean doubles as a sex toy sanitizer. This anti-bacterial foaming cleanser contains benzalkonium chloride and other ingredients that clean deep, but it also boasts tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary oils for an all-natural boost that also smells divine. You're not just protecting yourself and your partner(s) by cleaning — you're also protecting your investment.

If you have nonvibrating silicone toys (like dildos or butt plugs) you can take an added step and boil them in water for up to 3 minutes to sanitize them thoroughly,” Deysach explains. Note, though, that not all toys marketed as silicone are 100% silicone, particularly toys that have a “soft skin”–type texture. HIV and herpes viruses aren’t awesome at living on surfaces for a long time, because they’re very susceptible to drying,” May says.Glowing Review: "It’s so easy, and if you're like me and don’t like doing anything after, really I recommend this. Whether it’s stuffed animals or blocks, dolls or cars, almost every part of every toy has been licked, drooled on or rubbed against their face. This is a great hack for those of us who don’t love to clean, but it’s also a smart choice if you’re sharing sex toys (for all of the germy reasons we’ve mentioned above). However, it does acquire fragrance and preservatives, which may not be great for people with sensitive skin. Bacteria, for instance, generally can’t survive for long in or on a nonporous sex toy because they thrive in damp environments, Leone says.

Here are a few examples of what kind of porous material you might find in a sex toy: hard plastic, elastomer, thermoplastic elastomer (TPR), or jelly rubber.

Made with skin-soothing aloe extract and free from parabens, these wipes can be used on both toys and your most intimate areas—and since the pack is resealable, you don’t have to worry about these wipes drying out. It's so nice to be able to have something right by your bed or wherever else you get it on to be able to spritz down a toy.

Using a sex toy immediately after a partner has used it is risky, too, explains Finn — especially if that partner has an STI or doesn't know their current STI status. If that bacteria comes in contact with your (or your partner’s) urinary tract, it could cause a urinary tract infection (UTI).Many cleaning solutions have a harsh smell, which can be difficult to work with when you’re cleaning. As experts explained to us, dirty sex toys can lead to STI transmission, and — even if you only use them on yourself — can also lead to yeast infections, UTIs, and bacterial vaginosis. Note: there's a subtle scent of bergamot oils and natural deodorant, but the tissues do not have parabens, perfume, or glycerin. Deysach recommends placing a washcloth in the pot with glass toys, as a cushion to prevent them from cracking or breaking, because they can “jump around in the pan.
